Archived from groups: alt>comp>hardware (more info?)

I have to have my computer and monitor quite close together. There's a
yellow band down the side of the screen, presumably due to the
magnetic effect of the computer. If I move the computer somewhere I
don't want it, it disappears.

Is there any way I can screen the monitor (no pun intended)? Only
externally, of course - I don't want to open any boxes.

Place a large iron plate between the computer and monitor.
If this problem is really as you describe you have either some component in the computer that has an unusually strong magnetic field or else your monitor is unusually sensitive to interference.

Try something like a piece of cardboard with aluminum foil, A sound
deadening ceiling panel or some kind of sound proof liner inside the
case. A thin copper sheet on a piece of cardboard might work just
fine.

Thanks guys - I tried the foil but it didn't work - I'd have been a
bit surprised if it had since although it's reflective it isn't
magnetic (you can tell I don't know what I'm talking about, I'm sure!)

Anyway, I've since sorted it out - it was the audio speaker nearby,
which I _can_ move, and all is well.

All the best,
