a couple of observations, now it's been in a few days. the p3's brains got scrambled somewhere along the way- I had the same patterns there, but with miscellaneous defects, like "tbase = ????". it's entirely possible that the memory got a little static jolt, as after thirty odd years (some of them very odd) of engineering, I can be a little cavalier sometimes. so.... back up y'r p3 before doing this swap-out. also, the PLED-saver screen timeout, which didn't save my PLED... it's still active but does something rather odd & frankly a bit disturbing- it shuts off the characters in the LCD but not the backlight, so that one gets the impression of maladjusted contrast. if one were to fit the LCD & then go for a cup of tea, the better to admire it, one might subsequently spend a while working the contrast trimmer back & forth with no obvious effect... the hot-spot on this adjustment is quite narrow anyway. is the screensaver still necessary with the LCD? duncan.
