Guess its conceivable but a strange coincidence. I had to replace the
power supply not long ago but was still using 5.18 at the time.
Replacing either the power supply or VGA card is expensive and
probably not worth doing. Luckily I do have other RISC OS machines but
still like using the Iyo.
Thanks for your comments.
