Sad to report the screen reverted back to twitchy flickering, or solid blue. I'm running out of ideas for what is up with it, but it's bumming me out because I just want to use the machine!
Sorted the CD Drive. Bought a PLEXTOR PX-800A and works a treat. Pretty quiet, black facade, works as expected.
I bought a new flat ribbon cable to try that. But despite checking the service manual and being super precise with what I was ordering I got the wrong item.
What's needed is a RIBBON CABLE CORD FFC P1.25 L480 14P
I bought this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185449597692 ... 3251813271
Perhaps the 'pitch' is wrong. I'm wondering is this is the width.
If anyone has a thought then please let me know. Regret trying these screen upgrades. The OEM one I had was fine, but wanted to avoid the whine, and improve the legibility.
