- My sister has an A3000/25 running Wb 2.1, 2 Mb CHIP, 8 Mb FAST,
- and an A1960 monitor.
-
- She has been experiencing an intermittant problem with
- horizontal lines appearing across the screen. The lines are
- usually multicolored and can be either dashed or solid
- lines. The problem seems to occur mostly when the system is
- first turned on. It usually decreases in intensity as the computer
- is being used, but doesn't go totally away.
-
- One time she printed a document from Final Writer 4 while
- the lines were present. The lines printed on the paper as
- they appeared on the screen!
-
- At times, the pulldown menues will leave artifacts behind
- after opening and closing them.
-
- Does anyone have a suggestion as to the possible cause of
- this problem? As I stated earlier, it doesn't happen all the
- time, but when it is at its worse the screen is barely
- readable.
-
- Thank you.
