Help,

Getting a flickering screen intermittenly and then nothing using the composite
cable connection. S-Video connection shows a lightening and darkening window as
i adjust ambient light conditions but i don't see the menu.

I had it working fine the other night via the composite connnection. I am going
into a laptop via hauppage wintv-hvr 950 (which was working fine via
composite...looked great)...i am also trying my accurian portable dvd player via
composite and same results as wintv adapter...

i'm no fool and have it all set up right...my malincam is always treated like a
baby...nothing has changed. I have left it off for 30 min...no improvement...1
hour no improvment...etc...

the breifly flickering wavy image using composite worries my...but i can't
reproduce it by wiggling the cable etc...

help??

first clear skies in a month...
