Hello people, I have joined the Libretto club with a "new" 70CT that I got from a friend. However, it seems the display has a fault which is odd in nature. Symptoms is that the display is blurred horizontally, with moving 'streaks' around the edges. Sometimes, when it gets bad as well, it looks as if it misses out every second pixel... Strategically whacking the plastic around the bottom right hand side of the display can make it work to a greater or lesser extent, but I can't get rid of the problem completely. Eventually, you can get the screen to an almost usable state, but there is still some horizontal 'blurring' and fringes along the right hand side... Sometimes, the display can do very odd things... you can get vertical lines appearing (which disappear with more strategig whacking) and if you gently (of course! :) flex the entire screen, you get large, shifting, blocks all over the screen, which disappear with more strategic whacking. No problems with a monitor hooked up to the I/O Replicator, so the video subsystem itself seems OK. Disassembly of the screen assy shows that this is, of course, where the screen cable comes in to the screen assy. So, it sounds like a bad screen cable to me... Is this symptomatic of a bad screen cable, and if so, where could I obtain a replacement for a 70 CT and how much would it cost? Thanks, -Malcolm. ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
