Toastscan or my noobness?

White stripes in the screen means you may have some eletrolicty caps going to dead. Change them all at least every three years.

Here goes the list (nevermind SMD regular caps, they don't f*** anything). Keep in mind they are all 105 oC ones (don't use the 85 oC, EVER!):

3 units    10Uf x 16 volts SMD

5  ||      22Uf x 35 Volts SMD

2  ||      47Uf x 16 Volts SMD

4  ||  100Uf x 65 Volts SMD

2  ||  470Uf x 16 Volts Normal

2  ||  1000Uf x 10 Volts Normal

:rtfm:

Changing caps is a hardware security measure. Caps leaks cause a lot of damage in a board (I know, I lost an A520 and a A2000 Mobo).

OK, not the damage level of a battery leak.

In my 1200 I have to change the video caps (the most importants ones), 'cause have some "noise" on screen. After changing everything runs fine. And agree the productivity mode needs a VGA monitor WITHOUT DS/FF.

I use now a C= 1942 on mine and if I use some higher resolutions I see a "soft" shaking screen.

Maybe the caps of the monitor are going bad. Overheting in customs chips are also by bad caps in the source part of the MOBO, speccially in +5V lines.
