I have had a rather expensive 20" LCD screen working pretty solidly every day for 3.5 years (off overnight mostly). It has started flickering now and then, and sometimes goes right blank, all black. Turning it off and on and stuff gets it going again. It tends to happen before it has been on for many hours. It can happen in the first hour or two...
The AC to 12V seems to get rather hotter than I would guess intuitively (but what would I know?). Tied a bag of ice around it but did not seem to do anything? Anyway, it might not be that? Anyone experienced flickering and occasional all blank screen on LCDs? I doubt it is anything to do with my G4 Mac because the same happens when I switch from the DVI (the Mac) to the D-Sub (a Windows box) input - there's a button on the front that takes the signals from different inputs (even composite for TV set-top box) Might have to take it for repair or simply buy another and treat it as hired for 3.5 years! -- dorayme --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
