OK..i just picked up a millipede with the following description:
"Worked until recently, but now I plug it in and all I get is 3 beeps indicating a memory error"
I take this as meaning, everything else is as it was while it was working. Here's my possible issue... I'm doubting this monitor ever worked in this machine (thinking the guy swapped it out into another vid he had there.. a Bump & Jump quite possibly). Why do I think this?..well when I got there, the monitor's signal cable had been disconnected from the monitor. Seeing them disconnected really doesn't send up a red flag ... but I should probably have questioned it a bit more. The other item I didnt realize is that Millipede comes with a Matsushita monitor..not a G07 (dammit) I got the machine home and havent touched it for a week while i try to procure some RAM to take care of the error. Here's the issue, I got bored today after getting my second wind and cleaned the 1/4" of crap off the monitor and discover something I couldnt see before:
Not only is there screenburn..but it's upside down. Now where millipede doesnt have the dip option to flip the screen, I'm assuming that this monitor is probably not installed correctly. (I suppose I could be wrong).
Here's a pic of the back:
I'm not very familiar with monitors... can you tell by looking at it if it is installed upside down?.. and is possible this monitor actually did work in this machine? Would like to know before I tear this guy a new one...
Thanks
