Indivision AGA vertical Lines

[save2600]

Uh-oh, not good. I've seen that vertical banding on nearly every FF/SD ever made sooner or later, especially external models. It might have gotten damaged somehow? Overheat maybe? Some things to try:

1) update to the latest firmware and follow the instructions to the 'T' when doing so.

2) examine all the pins of Lisa's socket for potential debris and bent pins. Also examine Lisa to see that no metal shards are shorting anything out.

3) ensure the Indivision is properly and securely seated and if need be, put something small and rubber (like those little sticky feet for components/computers) a top of the Indivision so that it just hits the RF shield, forcing the Indivision down to Lisa.

...in no particular order. Try the easy stuff first and go from there.

BTW: does the video output without the FF/SD give you the same banding? Probably not, but thought I'd ask.

Will a glue gun help secure the Indivision?

I'm not a big fan of glue guns. First thing that would worry me is overheating something on the mobo or frying a chip. Secondly, it's real messy and if you want to reverse what you did - good luck. Thirdly, you'd probably be impeding Lisa and the Indivision's ability to dissipate the heat they produce. Glue gun might not be the best idea  

No chance you could stack multiple footings on top of each other to create something taller to reach up to the case? When the case is screwed in, it would press down on the Indivision.

Do I really need the metal shield?
I have some rubber leg things (yes I don't know their proper name ) will they be safe to hold down the indivision?
What about heating problems if I put them there? or not these what can I use to hold the indi down

You don't "need" the RF shield, but if it were there, it would have aided in helping keep the Indivision down closer to Lisa. I wouldn't worry about heating problems with the little rubber feet things. lol

BTW: do you have the model where its socket that has been scored down some? You can tell by looking at it (the plastic won't be perfect). People with HP Lisa's have had good luck shaving their PLCC sockets down. Use a file or grinding wheel if you have one. Something to consider if you're up to the task! Be careful you don't over shave

Here's a link to that mobo resistor hardware fix that may or may not help the vertical line problem:
