I recently acquired a very minty (non-yellowed!) M1212 Display, but it doesn't want to live just yet. I plugged it in, powered it on, and it greeted me with a very dim purple glow (no input). I plugged in a known good VGA adapter, but still nothing. I opened it up and adjusted the pots to get a better look at the artifacting (they didn't change with plugging in/unplugging the input), and it looks like many horizontal/zig-zag bright lines on a slightly darker background. I adjusted the color to make sure all three colors (RGB) were good, and they were, so no green failure for me. But it still won't respond to any kind of input. While on, it is very static-y but no loud hum, and I did not witness flyback arcing. I also checked the board for caps, and all of them look perfect; it's even quite clean. Any thoughts?
