Re: Failing PLED

>>I'm thinking the issue is also related to general age of the
modules, not just power-on time.<<

I'm inclined to agree. my total p3-usage-time is spilt between two
machines which are in different studios, + also I have several other
machines with which to go bleep & bloop. my older p3 is now showing
signs of imminent PLED failure- the first four characters are as good
as ever but the entire rest of the display is now dimming alarmingly-
the individual pixels are quite distinctly visible, whereas previously
they were so bright as to be indistinguishable as separate light-sources.

I'll punt up a pic of this later.

here's the thing, though- both of my p3s are on v4, with the
screensaver, & have been for some months. I noticed the display in
this one was significantly worse after I'd left the machine for an
hour with the display dimmed.... so it doesn't seem to be wear-&-tear
causing this....

anyway. bottom line is, I guess I'll be needing a couple of the LCD
kits soon too. colin, how does one go about this? I'd be much happier
about our imminent US trip (mid-june) if I have this fixed first.
