Smart thinking or just plain stupid?

Last night before I and Mitch go to bed i set my pc to download Warrock. And for the love of god of computers, The monitor turns crimson red ~.~ well, she always do that now and then but last night was different even if i kick the side of the monitor it cant go back to her right color. I was desperate so i punch the sides maybe 30 times but to no avail so i go to bed frustrated.

When i woke up i escorted mitch to the bus stop because she had to go to work. Then i pick my choices on what to do. after i got home i research a bit on why my monitor is turning red. and i found out that the red pin (the one that controls the red color on RGB pins) is not functioning properly anymore and its a symptoms of a dying monitor. how sad

1. Tell my mother about it so that she can buy a new one for us~
2. Go to kuya boyet’s shop to buy his old stock monitors
3. i go keep punchin and kicking this bloody monitor until the right color come back
4. blame my siblings for putting their sodding cell phone near this dying monitor

or lastly open this thing up and do a major operation and try to stabilize her.

If i were you what will you choose? i am a risky type of a person so i choosed to do an operation instead. and heres what i did.

*after i open her up, i borrow my sisters phone and take pictures to document the whole procedure.

Pic #1: Before, i used to tap the side of my monitor if it turns red so i figure this area is the culprit. (though i have no idea of what am i doing ~.~)

 <- that circled area is the culprit. because when i tap it (ofcourse, im using a non conducting material to not to kill myself lol.) the color display is changing from red to normal.

So i examined it more to found out what exactly is wrong there.

<- this circled side is halfway open when i realized it so i put it back close then amazingly, the color is stabilizing.

i close it up to test the picture tube. if all goes well the red color should not be appearing anymore. after a few minutes that crimson thing goes back again. dammet. so i go back to my imaginitive drawing board to plan my next move.

  <- what i did is place a non-conducting string on that circled hole to pull it whenever the monitor goes Red. and lo and behold. after i pack it up and i try to open my pc. that red color goes back, and i pull that magical string, and *puff* the color stabilize~

whats bothering me is how long can my monitor hold on. On that quick fix. i dunno if it a Smart move or just plain stupidity. XD

 Other news: Im planning to join RF’s music contest. ive got a riff and lyrics in my mind, i hoping i could pull that of~ hoho. and im planning to post here my Fantasy poorly-illustrative Novel, Makroga Zone~ its about a normal boy who sucked himself to a time and space portal and goes off to that massive time and space dimension, Makroga.
