Perq 2T1 display fault

Got a Perq 2T1 with the KME 1514 portrait monitor - the display on the
front of the unit gets as far as 999 on power-up so it's looking
reasonably healthy. Only problem is an unstable display; it seems to be
missing out every 4th or so scanline, plus there's some horizontal
instability (I can see what appear to be characters on the display, but
they aren't readable at all)

Anything prone to giving up in these monitors? From looking on the web
it appears they have a few custom parts in them :( (of course it's
*possible* the fault is in the system, not the monitor I suppose)

Oh, and if anyone's dishing out Perq wisdom there's also a Perq 1 with a
display fault too - on that one the image is centered on the screen, but
squashed into about 80% of the normal width, and maybe 10% of normal
height. It's also very non-rectangular in nature.

cheers

Jules
