Does anyone know what is wrong with a duo when it is powered up the screen has backlight but is blank? I have 3 230s and 1 280c that has this problem. Is it the PMU, ROM, RAM, CPU, or the whole thing? One 230 died because I had stripped the power adapter plug that goes into the back and plugged two of the three wires into a 24 volt lead-acid battery, which worked fine until I reversed the wires (why am I so dumb?), the screen flashed with the last image the screen showed and then went blank. Now whenever started up, shows the blank, white screen ghost (or, on the passive matrix, white shows up as a pink hue) Any ideas? I am hoping to build a duo with the screen reversed in tablet-pc fashion to put on the door of my locker at school :)
Check to see if the ribbon connector from the motherboard to screen has been burned out.
