Our Sun 3/280 console monitor (hi-res) appears to be dead.  No apparent
problems before it went blank, I suspect a power-supply problem.  Tried
swapping power cables, but when we turn it on (completely disconnected
from the computer even!) it just says no.  Rest of the machine appears to
be running "normally".  We can login to the console from the keyboard, but
a blank screen makes programming rather exciting.  Any hints/clues as to
what we can do?  Are there any accessible fuses in the console we might
check?

We're running 3.2, but I doubt that makes a difference.  The power in our
building is relatively stable (and no other equipment seems out -- console
died when no one was around).

Thanks in advance --
