White! Seems to me the lamps Neil mentioned obviously weren't an issue with
you. But your screen flickered first too huh? I guess if a chip fried, it
could leave the screen bin either a lit, or unlit state (hmm... unlit, is
that a word?). So I could have that problem.

I'll look for this.

Wouldn't think a loose or damaged ribbon would cause the screen to flicker
before it went out, but it's a possibilty.
I'm still wondering if there's anything I should be looking for that would
indictate that some previous modification may have caused the LDC to go out.
Sure don't want to put my old LCD into the unit and then have it go out
too.
