I've had it for 3 years and I bet it has less than 5 to 10 hours of usage. I haven't touched it in a couple of years. When powered on the display is blank - except all the pixels where the text should be are turned on.
There is a top row of 16 "rectangles" with 8x5 pixels and a bottom row of the same. On the bottom row, initially for 5 seconds only the top 3x5 pixels are turned on, then the remaining 5x5 pixels turn on.
I removed the batteries and tried starting just from the power chord - same results. Holding erase down and turning on doesn't change anything. I've made no changes to the os and have not added any extra ram beyond how it came from the factory.
Any ideas on what is going on? I didn't get much in the way of google searches. Do I just need to try reloading the OS (with a more recent version)? Thanks for any replies ...
