AW: artifacts on my IBM A30p display...

[Reifenberger Michael EXT]

Hi,
your A30p System-board is defect.
I had this twice before and got the Systemboard changed by IBM.

It's a nightmare to get reproduced by IBM though...
- They don't know what text-mode is because they boot windoof immediatly and
  the failure doesn't show up there easily.
- You should take a few Pictures of the crippled BIOS (IBM-Logo) screen
  so they couldn't say it's by broken device-drivers.
- Don't say you are using FreeBSD!

Good Luck 
(Hopefully your Notebook isn't out of service)

Betreff: artifacts on my IBM A30p display...


Hello,

A few days ago I started noticing that my LCD display
was showing strange characters in text mode. Jiggling
the display makes the characters change. Now it's
happening in graphics mode too.

Has this happened to anyone with a Thinkpad before?
I assume it's a bad connection (and hopefully not a
failing video chipset) because I can make the characters
change by moving the screen. Does anyone know how to
fix this?
