Need help with monitor in Japan

Hi All. I'm in Japan and having a problem with a US monitor. It won't turn on...no power light or power up noises or anything. So I measured voltage across neutral and ground and there was 8VAC. So I got an electrician to wire up a proper ground. There's still 1VAC across Neutral and Ground. So I have two theories: 1) The monitor is seeing the floating ground and not liking it and refusing to turn on. 2) The monitor requires at least 110V (I'm getting 103V). I'd hate to think this thing just died, so can anyone confirm that a ground to neutral measurement should yield 0V or some very negligible voltage? Assuming the above two theories are bunk...any other ideas? Thanks for any help anyone can provide :( Thanks! Sellam __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
