Emily C. Klase,
Is this problem appear only on the laptop screen? Did you test your laptop with an external monitor? The external video is fine or it’s getting fuzzy the same way as video on the internal LCD screen?
If external video works fine and this problem appears only on the internal LCD, apparently you have a problem with the LCD screen and it has to be replaced.

Kondrad,
Could be:
1. Connection related issue, maybe connections are loose. Reseating the video cable connectors can help to fix this problem.
2. The inverter board is going bad. Try replacing inverter.
3. The backlight lamp is dying.

should have said T23 on last entry …
also the bluse screen error occurs in two ways
1. after usage (per description in last posting) with error statement “process or thread crucial to sys operation unexpectedly exited or was terminated” “check hardware or software changes” then the following numbers … 0×000000F4, 0X00000003, 0X-83274530, 74684, F9020
2. when rebooting on just battery power it immediately blue screens with error message “unmountable boot volume” “dump of physical memory” numbers X-000ED, OX-8045F9F88
Any insights appreciated
Thanks!

600x – i boot the machine from cold and use it for 10 minutes and then it blue screens. it appear to have heated a lot during that time. subsequently when i boot it fails and bluescreens almost immediately. Can anyone offer a suggestion – is it memory, motherboard or hard drive likely?
thanks so much!!!

My IBM Thin Pad laptop is starting to get fuzzy after being on for a few mnutes to about 30 min. max before it starts to look fuzzy the picture and words get hard to read. Can this be fixed? Also my keys don’t always capture and I spend alot of time backing up to add letters, they all seem to vary. Can you help or refer me for assistance?
Sincerely,
Frustrated

Hallo,
The LCD of my A31 2652-M5G flickers randomly (with cloudy sunrise as background picture it looks like heatlighting)
The output to an external display seems to be ok.
Can someone please help?
Should I repair the backlight or is it something else?

Ronald Rockingham,
Can you see the hard drive in the BIOS setup menu. If not, apparently the hard drive is bad and has to be replaced.
