Goop doesn't seem to help, and the Duo is hard to open afterwards. Any hints? <<grin>> Actually, for those that like to hack, there is a difference in the drive circuitry between the 270/280 and the 2300. The 2300 has the additional circuitry to drive the 2300 screen (I have a sneaking suspicion that the unit was originally designed to have a true multi-resolution screen, but it was canned for cost reasons...1994 was the year of the great "Yen" debate and high taxes against LCD screens). The 2300 screen uses part of that circuitry, thus the reason the 2300 screen will not work on a 270/280. (My best guess based on the chips on the logic boards) Screen compatibility: 230-250 all interchangeable 270-280-280c all interchangeable 2300 screen only on the 2300 The 2300 logic will drive <<all>> Duo screens. If someone has noted any screen that will not interchange, please let me know to update my files. The only Duo I have not personally owned is a 270, but I have friends that have put a 270 mono screen onto a 280c that had a shattered display, worked fine. I did hear that there were <<two>> versions of the 270, thus the reason for wanting to hear of any incompatibilities. Cheers; Andrew ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
