Jumbled Screen?

Question

When I turn on my laptop, before Windows XP ever boots up, the screen is all jumbled up: series of thin lines all over screen, boxes in place of numbers/letters, whole thing is jumbled up mess. Sometimes Windows will boot up and sometimes it won't. If it does sometimes it's clear and sometimes it's got the jumbled up screen. If it does come up clean, then after about an hour or so of using the computer it will start to jumble up and then the screen will go black, and then blink from normal to black. Or it may just get jumbled up and then shut down on its own.

I connected an external monitor to it and it does the same thing (yes before windows boots up).

I have an Nvidia Geforce Go 6800 ultra graphics card in it. I don't know if its the graphics card or the system board. Someone help please.

Thank you for your time.

Answer 1

Well if you open it by lifting the screen from the sides it is possible that you damaged the screen because the top is supposed to be the part you lift up. Parts of the screen run up the sides. If you didnt do this and you cant find a means of fixing it try calling your manufacturer, if you still have a warranty you can get a brand new one or it fixed for free. For example most Dell products have free maintenance for a year along with a 1yr warranty.

it particularly is not the reveal if it does it whilst an exterior visual reveal unit is desperate up with it. If it does this whilst the exterior visual reveal unit is asserted it extremely is maximum in all probability the pictures card. you're able to desire to take it someplace and characteristic them run tests on the cardboard and get their opinion. Or despite if it remains under guarantee call the producer.
