White dots on DSI preview image

I just bought a second hand Meade DSI II colour. Connected it to my PC, and with the cover on I can see various white dots & blue dots, with some blue lines, isnt it suppose to be completely black if I have the cover over it?

Strange enough, when I take it outside and focus on a star, I can see the star, with no white/blue dots, the background is completely black. However when I focus on a globular cluster, the white/blue dots reappear.

Have I been unlucky and bought a faulty DSI? or do i need to do some calibrations/adjustment to get rid of it?

Victor.
