Video out problems with 867mhz G4 12" PB

Hi guys,

I switched back about a year ago after spending a while on the dark side :) and picked up a 12" G4 Powerbook, which has been great. I've been using it as a portable DVD player occasionally which has been very handy. However just recently whenever I try and use the TV adapter (using composite) or the VGA out adapter, the PB goes to switch resolution, but just changes to a 640x480 box (not stretched - just occupies a small area on the screen) and neither VGA or TV signals work :( The display preferences don't pick up an external display, my CRT monitor doesn't show anything, and the TV just shows scrolling black and white lines/noise. Has anyone heard about this kind of issue before, or have any suggestions? Thankfully its under a 3 year warranty, but I'm really hoping I don't have to send it back..

Thanks!!
Luke
