gmc,
I see what you mean, it gives you the impression it may of been changed at some point. Either that or it could be an early shield design and was updated to what we normally see as a part of cost saving?
BTW. A black screen can mean the CPU has died, and sometimes if the CPU dies it can take the TED out at the same time if your really unlucky. TED machines use the CPU as a video chip, TED tells the CPU what to display...
It's when you see something like jumbled and random text on the screen when you switch on that the TED is normally on it's way out. But yeah spares are always handy so you can at least rule out both.
