Jim, It fades quickly to black. And yes, the power light stays on. The 2nd day this occured I left it on for about 20 minutes. During that time the screen came back to life 2 times,but only for 15-20 sec before fading to black again. Tonite, I re-connected the 1950 and have tried your idea of the TTL switch but no success. Do you think it might be a capacitor? I say this because the startup sound is slightly different than what I recall. Hey, the screen just popped on for about 10 sec, now off and it just came on again. Screen is still on and counting.:) Anyway back to the capacitor idea, whatcya think? Screen is still on (5 Min) as I type this reply. I'll try turning it off, wait 5 min, and then on again to see what it does. Well, screen came back to life upon restart. This is a strange gremlin, not sure what to think now.:) I'll keep you posted. CJ —-> on AP
