Re: Lisa keeps shutting itself off from Adam Vaughn on 2005-10-24 (lisalist1)

An update on the situation: After it managed to run an hour without shutting down, I decided to see if the screen dimming was a part of the problem. In the SunTrol, I changed the dimming time from 2 minutes to 30 minutes. I then tried printing out the two-page document during which the unit had been shutting down. I managed to print two copies, as well as a couple of aborted printings. On the approx. fifth attempt, I started the print job, then about a minute later, the unit shut itself off (I didn't spot an error message before it kicked out). So much for the screen dimming hypothesis. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. -Adam
