RE: Re: [OT] Plasma broken :-(

Keith,

Just a couple of other thoughts:
1. VGA signals ?
2. Power supply - do you feed it with a well regulated, filtered supply
? I don't recall any particular requirement to do so, just thinking
aloud really.
3. Does the picture change at any particular times of the day, or when
other lights/appliances are on ?
4. Does it have fans ? Are these in good working order ?

Good luck,

Tim.
