    MP 5500 LCDC

    Here's a weird one. This machine has a black and white LCDC, but when it comes out of standby, or when you first turn it on, the display glows rose pink for about 10 seconds. Is this a prelude to failure? Screen functions are normal.

    Sounds like the VGA board below the screen is headed south.

      Maybe I better order me one now before it takes a dump. I don't have a compatible parts machine.

            Exactly! Its a feature, not a bug.

              Just an update. Pink means an inevitable LCDC failure. It went black yesterday, just installed the new one today.

                  Oh, I STILL like pink (except on op panels).
