Need help with monitor in Japan

Hi All.

I'm in Japan and having a problem with a US monitor.
It won't turn on...no power light or power up noises
or anything.

So I measured voltage across neutral and ground and
there was 8VAC. So I got an electrician to wire up a
proper ground. There's still 1VAC across Neutral and
Ground.

So I have two theories:

1) The monitor is seeing the floating ground and not
liking it and refusing to turn on.
2) The monitor requires at least 110V (I'm getting
103V).

I'd hate to think this thing just died, so can anyone
confirm that a ground to neutral measurement should
yield 0V or some very negligible voltage?

Assuming the above two theories are bunk...any other
ideas?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide :(

Thanks!

Sellam
