- Can anyone help a friend of mine who has a problem with an A1200 and an
- M1438S monitor?
- What happens is that after about 45 minutes of use some areas of the
- screen start to show a ghosted image displaced by about half an inch from
- the real image. More of these ghosted images appear the longer the machine
- is left on. The images only appear when using DblPAL and Productivity
- modes but no others. Nothing is running on the machine apart from the
- Workbench. The only way to clear the problem is to switch off the A1200
- for several minutes. Just powering off and on again immediately does not
- get rid of these images.
- Any idea what might be at fault? A1200? Monitor? Memory corruption? One of
- the custom chips?
- Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
