pixelpedant Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 For those more familiar with troubleshooting problem units, what do you make of this screen garbage? Doesn't seem like one of those familiar VDP RAM failure patterns. Make sense to swap the 9918A for a spare? I've got another known working spare I could swap that for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDMike Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) Yes, I had that exact screen a week ago, but a good thing it was in b&w, it's actually saved my electric bill. Edited January 1, 2021 by GDMike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
