You are in an empty room with "ruud.dingemans"

Ta for that, Ruud. I know my Lisa well now for switches etc; if they
weren't present she wouldn't even power on. TBH I haven't taken the
screen assembly apart yet for cleaning/troubleshooting; I've got some
hints on what parts of the video board need checking too so I'll do
that over the weekend. I'm hoping (hah :) it's a video problem; if it
is though I've got to wait 4-6 weeks for my replacement card/screen to
fly in from CA......

thanks!
