12v connected to random combinations of input pins until it doesn't work anymore might work?
I once had an old and troublesome laptop that would blue screen 2-10 times a week. IT support wouldn't replace it unless I could show them the problem. One day the memory expansion cover on the bottom came loose and a paper clip fell in and it stopped working completely which was unfortunate.
I would love to replace my 24" Dell with a 27" Phillips so both monitors match. But my place only replace when they absolutely have to, which is fair. How does a 24" monitor meet an untimely, but totally believable and unpreventable end?
