The source of the problem is different on each one. The last one I had that did a
similar thing was an NEC, and it needed the processor chip replaced. Found out it was
cheaper (in the long run) to replace the one board and all of it's components. as a
single part. I would have junked the unit but the owner just had to get the thing
replaced. I guess, since a new one in 17" was around $300 and the board was $95.
