It works on the composite video input of my living room TV, a large Samsung HDTV. But using the IIgs in the living room on a 50" screen wasn't what I had in mind.
As luck would…

Do you have any other TVs or monitors with a composite input? The Dell probably expects a perfect RS-170a broadcast spec NTSC signal, meaning it likely screws up when connected to …

Dang Dell… after doing more reading, it seems that lots of people have problems using classic computers and video game systems with the Dell 2007WFP. It must not be tolerant of com…

Yup, that "weird sound" is the startup chime. I am not too smart sometimes.
Hmm, this is getting weirder. I hooked up a Nintendo Wii to the Dell monitor's composite video input…

OK, it seems the composite video input on this Dell 2007WFP LCD is broken. Which is weird, because I've used it before with other composite video projects. In fact, it's the only r…

That exact symptom occurred with my bootlegged battery and the 5300 this morning: chime off of the battery and then nothing else. I forget if I tried to soft reboot.

Oh, I meant on the efficiency/persistence, not the crashing on insert - I missed that part of the post. And I couldn't find anything directly on point to it.
