If you are handly with fixing stuff, this might be repairable.<br>It is an &quot;hp pavilion mx 75&quot;.<br>It was starting to take longer and longer to &quot;wake up&quot; after <br>the (windows xp) PC went in to some hibernation mode
<br>(actually it is called &quot;system standby&quot;).<br>My daughter said that the delay had gotten up to 10 minutes.<br>So I agreed to try her idea: that is, hook up the monitor directly<br>to the PC, bypassing the [erstwhile] KVM switch.&nbsp; (I&#39;d previously
<br>installed the KVM switch so I could share that monitor [V] ]and<br>[K]eyboard &amp; [M]ouse) with another PC, running Fedora Core).<br>This idea did not seem to solve anything.<br>In fact, it (the monitor) didn&#39;t work &quot;at all&quot;, then!
<br>I concluded that it was probably not anything inside the PC, <br>partly since installing a new monitor (19&quot; LCD) (now on sale<br>at Circuit City 249.99 + tax) seemed to work OK.<br>But, that old monitor might be fixable.&nbsp; I just do not have the 
<br>time / inclination (/ability) to mess with it. (+ &quot;maybe&quot;, /tools)<br>It does include 2 speakers, that attach to the sides of the <br>monitor like Disney [Mickey] mouse ears.<br>If interested, please reply via [to] this list, &quot;only if&quot; there are 
<br>very few (say, &lt; 5) other replies &quot;already&quot;.<br>-- <br>Mike Schwartz&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>Glendale&nbsp;&nbsp;AZ <br><a href="mailto:schwartz@acm.org">schwartz@acm.org</a><br><a href="mailto:Mike.L.Schwartz@gmail.com">Mike.L.Schwartz@gmail.com
