I was just fooling around with the buttons on the front of my computer and there was an option that said degauss so I did it and my screen kinda flickered.

What's that do?

Rogue Jedi
dunno.

Demagnatizes your screen from harmful static charges, if it's the button I'm thinking of, which I'm thinking it is.

Baylin
Yup that's pretty much it Mr JKozzy sir!

JKozzy
smart

Raz Jr
yeah, too much build up from magnetic charges can cause monitor could to go off-key

eileen dover keeps pressing that button on my computer during our IT lessons. it gets annoying after the screen flickers randomly about 20+ times!

Degaus is simply there to make your monitor go "ZJIIIIING" big grin

Kosta
YEP!!! big grin, and that why I love that button big grin

Clovie

under the screen you have to have some buttons and when you go deeper there you'll find the right option stick out tongue
