- But this is only during the self-check period. The screen can go any colour when
- you reset (depends upon current palatte?) but only a colour during the check
- period (i.e. when you release reset keys or power-led comes back up bright)
- means anything. But yes, in this case it is a software exception, or a error
- before checking routines were bought in.
