Yes, the TV screen. That bird was at end of life, and the Mission Systems wouldn't load, so we jokingly decided to turn the test screen on so it looked like something was working. Looking at the instruments, it looks like it had the NVG mod, which means this was a HUD bird, so I'm a little surprised the SACs weren't fixed to come up. I think at that point, neither Mx or Ops cared.
I'd have to check my logbook, but this might have been my last flight in a Bravo.
