Kia ora,
so, my screen went bung and I had to get it replaced. Would just go
completely blank i.e. black screen, nothing at all. Checked all the
cables which were firmly in place. Occasionally it would flash back to
life, then die again. So, I phoned Philips since it was still warranted,
courier picked it up three hours later and I was impressed. Not so
impressed when the courier lost it. I phoned Philips every day for a
while and eventually a week and a half later (after having to write them
an email stating I'd rung them on such and such a day, courier had
picked it up at such and such a time and that I needed a replacement) I
received the replacement. Problem was it was physically damaged. So they
sent me another. Now, the second replacement has a similar problem to
the first replacement, there are lines visible going up the screen
spaced about an inch apart and every now and there are diagonal lines
moving down the screen. Apparently its a driver issue, but of course
Philips don't have any drivers for linux. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Cheers

1. sounds like a video card .. do you have the ability to hook up an old
crt to the box?
if that displays (pun intended) similar symptoms ..
2. have you tried the screen on another box (eg a windows box - takes
the driver issue out)
As always good luck!
