Title: Interesting thing happened.....
Post by: LWD on February 04, 2014, 10:45:11 pm
While playing ms pacman tonight the screen magically went to a full color screen.  It lasted till I cleared the dots then went back to the faded screen.  I hoped it fixed itself somehow but no such luck. Any ideas what could be wrong creating the faded screen but then momentarily being bright full color???  In the process of ordering a new cap kit. I would love to get the display as it should be.
