yeh ive been using this dell tft for quite a while now, so the wires are correct.
its a pretty new monitor about 6 months old, i dont know why its acting like this.
do u think it may be due to some sort of magnet or some alive bug crawling inside it?
the weird thing is when it started again.
i pulled out my internet wire and the ethernet aswell for my local lan.
and it still continued.
would this still be possible for a hacker to control it without access to my computer currently and still continue to flicker it.
he may have set it to do some random flickering like a time bomb (when i was connected to the internet earlier) because its weird how it is still going on when all my internet wires are pulled out from the pc?
and yeh it happens during boot screen & the windows xp loading screen.
