Re: red screen on Pismo

2005-06-11 Thread Malcolm Cornelius

 there is a Pismo with a red screen during boot time. After 5-10
 secs the screen then is normal.

 Tired or failing backlight or inverter board.
 I've seen machines that continue to run that way for years.

 Malcom, in your experience, has replacing the inverter board fixed the
 problem?

I think only about once or twice in the many times I've seen it.

red screen on Pismo

2005-06-10 Thread Manfred

Hello,

there is a Pismo with a red screen during boot time. After 5-10
