Re: IIc keeps tripping the circuit breaker

Hi Paul,

Thanks.  Re-tested it.  Its the monitor!  Tried plugging the monitor
alone, the brick alone, and (brick + CPU) together.  The monitor trips
it 100% of the time.

Guess its time to search for a replacement monitor.  The funny thing
is that the monitor still runs for a good 5-10 mins before tripping
the breaker... although it is making some hissing sounds.

Not very optimistic about repairing the monitor though...
