Jup, same monitor on other PC, same problem.
It happened during a resolution mode switch, and it is very very hot here
(for the Netherlands), so temperature may have been a bit too high for it.

Do you have a breakout VGA plug or can you get in the PC and probe? Maybe the termination ain't there when it clicks into the selected mode because some CMOS switch blew?

I have not yet figured out how to open the thing.
I thas a 3 year guarantee, it is now exactly 1 year (minus 12 days).
So I want to be sure that I can actually fix it, before I break some seals.
The connector is hidden, perhaps one separate board, within the plastic case.


Then why not send it in? You can also measure an open terminator at the PC side. Run it in VGA basic mode which it usually does for the first 10sec during boot and look at the levels. If the blue level suddenly jumps a little when going to a similar blue-level screen in your regular viewing mode then the terminator most likely goes open. If that happens only on blue then it looks like a warranty repair case.
