Hmmm....maybe I missed something in the replies. The 230 screen shows the
same problem? If I caught it correctly, on the 2300 display, there is a
stripe which fades out after a period of time, right? Is it vertical or
horizontal? Roughly what is the position of it (LH side, RH side, 1" off RH
side, etc.). Could be a flakey logic board and/or VRAM dying. If it is heat
related, try heating the logic board with a hair dryer (not TOO hot, now!)
and cooling off chips in the video area with coolant spray (RatShak). This
will isolate a temperature related problem and may let you isolate the chip
that is flakey. Email me off list and I'll take a look at it tomorrow PM.
