Abstract
A method for storing status information prior to shutdown of a video monitor due to a failure. An indication of an operational parameter is obtained. Based on the indication, it is determined if the failure occurs warranting shutdown. If the failure occurs, status information is stored in a non-volatile memory for later retrieval during repair. A shutdown sequence is generated to disable the video monitor.
