[1000mp] delayed display turn on

Tue, 22 Jul 2003 15:16:18 -0500

Okay, I'm going to throw in my two cents.   I once had my MP  open and the 
front panel down.  When I put it back together, the diplay refused to light. 
I opened it back up and saw that a white cable, that I presumed to carry a 
fiber optic, was pinched.  I straightened it out and all was well when I 
reassembled it. My dispaly has always come on instantly regardless of 
temperature or time off before and after this mishap.
