Cold temps + 700H = white screen

Now I have noticed that if the temp drops below 70F it gets a white screen or does not turn on. I have to blow my heater on it for about 5-15 minutes then it turns on.

Does anyone else have problems like this? Know of a fix?

I have the same problem, although mine seems to have issues below 40F. With the cold spell we have had in the northeast, I haven't even tried turning it on most days. Like you though, I discovered heat does the trick if given some time to work.

Is it really 70F fo you though?? I am hoping that was a typo for your sake. If not, is it too late to maye exchange it?
