Thanks, guys. I left it in the depressed position for about 3 hrs. and and
Voila ! I looked over and was gratified to see the Next logo on the screen.
There was some clouding in the center of the screen which gradually
cleared up. I guess something (an aged cap ?) is starting to go or else
a weak solder point that reconnects under heat.
Boy that display sure makes winblows (not to mention Mac or Amiga for
that matter) look like crap.

I believe that the left-most button that you describe first
is a degaussing button. On my N4001 that is what it appears to do
when the button is depressed. Like most push button switches, the
power button is recessed slightly when it is in the 'on' position.
When in 'off' is is protruding slightly from the front of the
monitor. Obviously, the other two rotary wheels are for brightness
and contrast, even though this is also controled from the keyboard.
All of this is verified on my N4001 one as I type this.
Somehow I missed the original post, which is why I didn't
respond before.

I have the
operating instructions for the model N4006 and starting left
to right as you face the screen here are the button descriptions: 1.
V-STAT (vertical static convergence) control; 2. H-STAT (horizontal
static convergence) control; 3. V-CENT (vertical centering) control; 4.
Brightness control; 5. Contrast control; 6. Power switch and indicator.
Hope this helps. John
I think Lawrence is referring to the N4001, which is the 17"
Color Megapixel. On it, there are only 4 controls on the front of
the monitor.
On the
lower left side of the display is a button with a screen and
vertical
line symbol which doesn't appear to be
working. What is it's function
? I
had imagined it was a screen blanker. Also since
I get static
discharge on
the screen when I depress the on-off in either
position what is the ON
position of the switch. In to the cabinet or protruding from the face.
I've
forgotten. I've been avoiding opening up
since there's so many other
pressing
things to be done and you can't see thru the
air-vents to see any
life.
