Hello, I have a Duo 280 (i.e. greyscale active matrix screen) which fails to display a band of pixels about half a centimetre wide at Startup. The band extends the whole width of the screen and is completely black. Once the Mac OS screen is displayed the band disappears. I assumed that this was just a quirk of the active matrix screen, having had a passive matrix 230 before and not having seen any other active Duo displays. However on one occasion, the 280 did not recover and completed the Startup with the missing rows of pixels. Looking closely at the desktop revealed that information was not being lost, but instead the missing rows of pixels were pushing everything else down. This was most evident in the fact that the Trash can, which usually sits nicely in the bottom right hand corner, was now chopped off at the bottom. Restarting the machine returned it to its former behaviour so I dismissed it again. I have since bought a 250, i.e. also with an active matrix display, and it does not show this behaviour at all. So now I'm worried - is my 280's screen on the way out? Or is it a loose connection problem that can be fixed? Any one else seen and solved this one?
