Aaaaa, now I understand why the lists got so 'mellow yellow' all of a
sudden. ;-)

Check the solder points, on the analog board, mine was winking in and out,
with strange static in the foreground, with the desktop was just bearly
visible in the backgrond, when you moved the analog board, while on the
bench with the cover off ( I hope you know to Be VERY CAREFULL, and only use
an insulated tool to touch darn near anything while it is on.). I found
about five solder points that looked bad, so I just reheated those five
untill the solder started to flow, and it has been fine ever sence.
I also let it sit over night, unpluged, before I did any work on it. I
know, I more than likely didn't need to, but that's just me.
