[1000mp] Sudden Loss of Display

Fri, 15 Mar 2002 11:13:21 -0500

My MarkV is still "sightless" (no display).  See details below.

My MarkV's serial number is 1C220001 and was purchased on April 28, 2001.
Thus, it's still under warranty. :-)

I've tried all 3 power on resets (menu settings, all memories & CPU master
reset) but still no display (just a dark screen).

I'm getting ready to box it up and return it to the dealer for
service/replacement under the warranty.  Any add'l suggestions.
