Oh how my wife and I both miss the Startac... It had reception most everywhere, and held a charge - great phone...
On the OP - I am glad I kept my old tube monitor, as it took weeks of calling around to see if I could get my LCD monitor repaired, and go the same responce from all - "Buy a NEW ONE" Finally, found a replacement screen backlight invertor on the internet, and fixed it myself for $80. But who knows how long that will last.
