[1000mp] delayed display turn on

Sat, 19 Jul 2003 10:43:58 +0100

The problem is that eventually the display does not come up at all. There is
a mod to take care of that. You can find more details on this web page:

Mine is showing the same symptoms and is taking more and more time for the
display to turn on.
