The part # doesn't mean anything to me. On the other hand, it depends on what
kind of symptoms you are seeing with the monitor that cause you to suspect
hardware problems. Certain Sun monitors will not work with certain Sun
framebuffers because the resolution is wrong. For example, plugging a two-bit
monitor into a Sun with a color card may not always work; either you will get a
picture with a messed-up resolution (driving the monitor at a frequency higher
than it can handle), or no picture at all.

That's the way it goes with computer hardware; despite my best efforts, I
always seem to acquire more of it. :-)
