friday, we got our first NeXT on evaluation. the machine is about a year
old. it was working great on friday, and i left powered up over the weekend.
when i came in monday, the tube looked like the brightness was being
overdriven - screen all washed out, including the overscan area. the
brightness controls on the keyboard and preference window worked, but the
washout remained constant. i powered the machine down and back up, but the
problem remains. in fact, the brightness flickered for a while after it
was powered up, being overdriven all the while.
i turned the machine off and am waiting for the tangle of who's responsible
to clear so i can get the machine fixed or replaced.
has anyone else seen this kind of problem or had other problems with the
megapel display? i was very impressed with the crispness and clarity of
it before this happened.
