I have a really crappy monitor at work. The thing is blurry. Its about 8 years old and give me headaches. I need a new one but unfortunately at work if it aint broke dont fix it. Well im about to open fire on this fucking piece of shit, and the suits are too cheap to replace it. So the big question is: How do i destroy it without and incriminating evidence?? |
leak a little soda into the vent on the back. BAM, problem solved! |

It may be possible to drop staples or paperclips into the vent slots in an attempt to short something out. They aren't going to do much detective work on an old monitor. Start submitting claims for eye doctor visits... You could always drop $250 of your own dollars on a monitor. Your eyes are worth it, and you always get to take it home when you want! Quickly: Have you tried to change the resolution or refresh rates on the thing? I used to be able to change the settings on my video card from wickedly annoying epiliptic seizure mode to tack sharp easily. |
+1 That will do it or cut the back of the cable close to the monitor. They can not repair that unless it has a removable cable. Or buy one. I bought 2 lcd 19 inch wides for 110 each. |

My brother and some of his friends destroyed an old monitor for a school project. Anyway, one of them grabbed an aluminum baseball bat, took a running swing at it, and bounced the bat right off the glass and into his shin. It was hilarious, for the rest of us, at least. I'm not sure what class it was, but they just did a bunch of stupid stuff on camera, and apparently got a pretty good grade on it. |
I love that movie. |
| I changed some of the settings and it got a little better. Im gonna do the right thing and just buy myself a new flat screen. Hell , I already have a 80 g. hard drive, mouse and color printer I brought from home. Ill just take the monitor home when I get out of here. Thank guys for the humor and some great ideas. |

The only three reasons I replace them here are. 1. Somebody complains about it hurting there eyes. 2. They straight out die. 3. We get a good deal on a new flat panel when purchasing a new computer. Flat panel usually goes to the manager or most important person first and regular employees get his older but usually larger better monitor passed down to them. So I would go with #1 if I were you. |
| Most places would replace it in a second if you complained about a chronic health problem (eye strain, headaches, etc.). After 12 years in the hospital lab at my last job, they wanted me in admin. I like clinical work, so I agreed to meet them halfway (20hrs a week at a desk). My eyesight started to get worse after a few months. I hated it. I mentioned it to an admin in the office next to mine and I had a new flatscreen in a week. Turning up the refresh rate helps a lot too. |
Make on of these and shock the piss out of it...not sure if it will do anything, but it's worth a try Zappy Zapp
