shapeless journeyman Registered: 09/08/2002 Posts: 50 Loc: Italy	Quote: The ICT PEEL that goes bad is located behind the VFD. Peel it back from the display board and at least do a visual inspection. Hope this helps, Stu thank you Stu, but my display unit (cable and board) is working with another motherboard so the ICT must be ok. thanks anyway. _________________________ shapeless MK2a \| #010101588 \| 2x 120GB SSD \| Hijack v526 \| v3.0a11 \| > melpomene < MK2 \| #090000581 \| 60 & 100GB HD \| v2final.mk2 \| v2.01 \| > backup < radio \| all colors lens \| greenlights LBSSK buttons \| KCA-R6A + ERC-1A remotes \| carry cases \| empeg sticker!
