UPDATE Gerald Gann <alpha21century@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Monster is right Al. My guess is about 350#?s. We bought it in. You might call this a update. I turned it on in a dark area and saw a faint vertical line then shutdown after 3 or 4 sec. Turned screen voltage up and definitely vertical problems. You could not see this in the customer?s house, just hi voltage came up and no audio, no video. Hopefully this may help if some one has seen this before. I called a shop in the next town and he is going lone me his micro fish and monitor Monday if I need it.
