Well, yes, true enough. Just trying to be positive are you? ;)

Agreed. From closer inspection my fading problem might be heat related,
must get out the can of freezer spray, as it's not there all the time. When
it's NOT happening I still have the 'recoil' problem (which is more of a
forwards recoil than a backwards one - kind of reverse recoil :)

Well, mine don't disappear, they just fade a little (the fading is sudden,
not gradual) then they'll 'blink' back to the correct brightness again.
If it was the Z drive, surely everything else on the screen would also be
affected at the same time?

Yup, agreed.

Heh. Yeah, I'll have a prod about. I do though expect to get some G05
monitor parts from a mate in the UK in a week or so, so I may just wait
until then. We'll see.

Can't imagine it's the HV, as I would *assume* that you'd also notice the
problem on any other on-screen graphics. Nope, I'm still going with the
general flow that it's the deflection board and maybe it's connections.
