monitor problem

[afbosch]

i got some real funny going on here monitor fickler off on me, goes
weird multicolor line across screen, sometime

i got a Packard bell 1511sl monitor, i look in back and flip, thing was
mfg. in Nov 1994 and IM running it at 60 Hz
fccid id BEJCP500

ok
i have 2 problem with it
one old problem it bug the hell out of the TV upstairs, TV is all wavy
with line and curve all most made it un watchable, and the monitor is
downs stair, turn it off and it clear as a bell put it back on as i
get yell at again had the problem since day one, i thin when i got my
computer set there gave me a old monitor

two new problem as mention a bit in first line monitor cut out on me
when i sometime use it, it has a power indicator light green is normal
on, the thing will go to yellow and video is gone just like that for
no reason i can think of boom i hit it, move it back again the wall, or
move the power cord, which i find stranger to say the least, as it has
noting to do with video, esp when it tell me yellow light is still on so
it still getting power, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr madding, now i also notice
screen move to right and left on me for no reason allso, and there have
been a few time when the whole thing disappear on me with it look like
doz. of multicolor line across it on a black screen, but it i move it it
come back for a while or longer

any idea, as i find the power cord idea of my dumb as it still got
power

Have the voltage on both power lines tested. Sounds like you may not be
getting enough voltage. Also, check to see that there are no strong
electromagnetic fields close to either the monitor or TV (unshielded
speakers, power source, etc). If your house has a heating furnace, check to
see if the flickers coincide with the furnace switching on and off. If so,
you may have to reroute some of the wiring away from the furnace, or change
the affected electrical inputs to a different circuit.

10 years on a monitor--I'd say it has outlived it's useful life.
