Ok.  Actually I used Freeze It (or something like it) about 20+ years ago on a
monitor.  In that case I found a bad high-voltage (flyback?) transformer.  When
I hit the transformer with the liquid the screen went from a single horizontal
line to a normal full screen for 10 or 20 seconds.  For some reason I never
thought of using it again on my GS monitor.
Your suggestion jogged my memory.

Thanks again,

Charlie
