Pulling the inputs the other way would most likely deflect the
beam to the opposite corner. I forget how the Cine Monitor gets its
datqa (but I think Zonn covers it in his writeup.)
Why not just unplug the power to the monitor when you're
troubleshooting the board, rather than just unplugging the data cable?
