I had bought this laptop off a friend for next to nothing. i dont mind putting a little money into it. here is the problem.. screen works ok but you get vertical red lines that flicker and are wide lines. they are also a little faded. I aslo noticed when you run 2000 there is a little more green in the screen when the desktop is up. i figured it could be due to one of these problems.
1.Inverter is going 2.LCD is going 3.video card is going
if you could tell me which part i should replace that would be great thanks. I personaly think its the video card but not positive.
