Alan,
Moving the jumper to 1-2 doesn't change the behavior. The internal
display comes on briefly,
then the P3 powers down. I've tried it in all 3 positions, and the
behavior is the same
whenever the P3 attempts to power on.
And no, I can't contact it via the utility anymore. The most
I believe the display board was replaced... If I remember right, the
test was to look at the inside of the P3, and see if the display board
LED was flashing. If flashing, it was OK, if not, something died...
This has bee a few years ago, so my memory of this is no longer that
clear...

By the way, I no longer have a K3 or P3 (lost in a house fire) so this
is from memory...

Alan,
Before I got the chance to look into your idea of possibly bad display
connection,
I DID reload a saved configuration into the P3 using the P3 Utility, and
it restored
the high-res setting on the external display.

Thanks Alan,
I'll take a look-see this weekend and see if it's something I can
tackle.
I've recently dealt with tiny flex connectors like that on another
project,
and it survived. :-)
I'll be sure to come back here and report my findings.

Hi Dave,
Another possibility is that perhaps one of the display connectors has
come loose or is making a bad connection.
I normally wouldn't recommend this since these tiny connectors are kind
of tricky, but since the P3 isn't working anyway, there's nothing to lose.
There are two
