Hey guys,
Well i just got my pet-project, old Dell L400 up and running (to some degree - the last piece I need HD Caddy the seller on eBay shipped me the wrong item
) Anyways... I booted from a Gentoo LiveCD and it worked great the first couple times and then all the sudden, bam, i lost all the red in my screen. I can only control the blue and green gamma levels. I swapped out motherboards (had a spare), checked the display (opened the screen up and made sure all the wires were connected properly) but still it's all blue and green and no red (which means no white either).
Anyone have any thoughts of where the problem is and where to look? I'm thinking its obvious in the screen/display itself because swapping the motherboards made no difference. Short maybe? Or maybe I'm missing a flex wire or something.
Anyone with any ideas i'd greatly appreciate it, I want it looking like it was before (and not have to buy a new screen)
Thanks!
