The screen image does stabilize in the 'four quadrants' mode for a little
while. And yes, the pixels of characters in the text mode do get
separated. There's no difference between graphics and text modes as far
as that's concerned.
Usually when
it's cold, the display is a complete mess. As it warms up,
the image becomes clear but in four parts. Each quarter (corner) of the
screen is a mini-image of what should be displayed on the whole screen.
Out of each group of four pixels of what would be displayed normally, each
will be displayed in a different quadrant of the screen.
Is the screen image perfectly locked in this 'mode'? And what happens in
the text display mode - do individual pixels from the characters get
separated, or what? My first thought is that it's a video timing or
clock problem. It
doesn't sound like anything close to the video output.
I'll try the freeze spray thing that you and someone else have suggested.
