Does anyone know why the Display screens go blank after about 1 minute?  i do start the APU but they go blank before its running.

thanks.

Do you switch the (cant think of the name to save my life) switch to Auto? (The one on the far left of the panel, on the same level as the APU start)

And you've engaged the APU Generators? (Lights illuminate about 30 secs after APU start is initiated)

Is it he standby power knob..
I think you turn the battery on ...standby power to auto... turn APU past start to on... wait until APU avail switches are lit to AVAIL then click both. I'll try it tomorrow to see if it works...

Also, make sure you've installed it properly. Have you changed anything on your system lately or re installed the 747? The screens are designed to go blank if the correct reg' entries are not in the Windows root folder to help fight against copied software.
