Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with your monitor/TV.  It will likely be like this for a while ... you can also take it to a TV repair shop (call a Bust Buy, Circut City or Radio Shack as well) ... for a few bucks or like for free, they'll literally wave a little wand around it to reset the magnetic waves ... that's all it is.  I did the same thing to my TV and was actually playing around with a magnet right before I was getting ready to pitch it and I mysteriously fixed it myself !  \n\nYou might try that ... it's not causing any permanent harm, but if it get's frustrating, take it in someplace and tell them what happened, it will take them like 4 seconds to fix it and they won't even have to touch it !\n\nGood luck.\n\n-- Alan

Check out Toy Swap. I read about them in a newspaper article.

http://www.scitoys.com/scitoys/scitoys/magnets/gauss.html\n\nAll the details, tips, and materials you will need. I had great fun experimenting with my first one, making it longer, adding more magnets, larger magnets and bearings etc. I managed to get hold of some great magnets and bearings the same size as a pool ball. \n\nI won't go into detail about what happened to my bedroom wall with that one though, it's another story.\n\nHope you like the site and have fun.\n\nPete.

check them by hooking a 9-volt battery up to the speaker terminals (a short piece of extra speaker wire works well)\nit should click when you complete the circuit, stay held in/out (depending which polarity you go with- make sure to try both) and click back into place when the circuit is cut\n\nif it isnt one smooth click with no noise while holding (flaps, etc) toss em (or save the baskets, recone them and put stronger magnets on them, but only if you really feel you must)\n\notherwise, a good deal

Get a magnet and try it.\n\nRead the last sentence of the link below:

With a monochrome screen (old black and white TV or a green screeen computer monitor) it'll just cause the image to move around but won't do any damage to the screen.\n\nWith a colour CRT though it will magnetise the shadow mask (or apature grill for Trinitrons but I'll refer to that as a shadow mask) which will cause the electron beam to hit the wrong phosphor even after the magnet is not near the screen.  Really powerful magnets (like the NIB stuff) can even permanently deform the shadow mask after which that TV will need replacement.\n\nPretty much all colour CRTs have a degaussing coil around the screen which can remove some of the magnetisation and thereby remove the colour splotchs you'll see after running a magnet across the screen.  On some computer monitors you can activate it by pressing a button or selecting an option on the Menu and get to see the image shake and colours go a bit funny but most TV's don't have that option (at least as far as I know).  Though computer monitors and TV's will use the Degaussing coil when you turn them on so just turning it off and waiting a few minutes before you turn it back on will often cause the strange colours to disappear.\n\nIf the degaussing coil can't fix it then you'll need a degaussing wand which your local TV repairman will have if you bring it to him.\n\nOf course if you have an LCD or plasma then you can't hurt it with a magent but you also won't get to see the image go all over the place either so there's no point in putting a magnet to them.

let us understand it in a simple way:\n   Suppose you have a magnet as shown below:\n                                [ N ]\n                                [ S ]\n\nBy cutting the magnet centrally, if you  mean cutting it vertically, then we would obtain the following configuration after cutting the magnet:\n                              [N] [N]\n                              [S] [S]\nThat is to say we have resulted in two magnets with polarities as shown above.Now as we all know that like polarities(N-N, S-S) repel and unlike polarities(N-S,S-N) attract, the result follows that the two magnet in above configuration repel each other while they attract when one of them is rotated by 180.\n[When one of the magnet is  rotated (say the second one) the following configuration results:\n                            [N] [S]\n                            [S] [N]\nand hence the result.]

if it is an icon put it in the recycle bin and then delete it.\nif that dosn't work put up a firewall.

gez i know mine doesnt smell, whats the smell? like burning electracal or something else? it just maybe the material. go to a store for adults toys, its fun anyway, and nobody cares. everyone else there is shopping for the same reason too.  i wouldnt use it, id go get another one.
