I had bought a dedicated mk1 with a supposedly dead monitor in it. Well after lining it up with my other mks for atleast three weeks i have it plugged up to the same surge protector as the other ones, so it cuts on to just play blind. Then all of a sudden, the monitor just cuts on! And it has stayed on since then! Am i just lucky or what? Monitor seems to work fine and saved me some money. So i was curious if anyone else has had something similar like this happen to them.

I think I had an issue like that back when I had one in the garage. I was also getting a CMOS error on my board. The two may have been related.
 
has this ever happened to you? i thought maybe it was gonna be "someone order an MK sign, then forgot about it?" :D
 
Well, I got a DK Jr. for free and when I touched the V HOLD switch on the monitor it sprang to life... so I guess that's close?

Yes. And what I've also learned from games, cars and motorcycles is that machines don't heal. That problem is gonna come back, most likely when you want it to work the most! ;)
