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) CU --- Michael Reifenberger Proj.: Michael.Reifenberger.gp@icn.siemens.de Plaut: Michael.Reifenberger@plaut.de Priv.: Michael@Reifenberger.com -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: owner-freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org]Im Auftrag von Jesse Guardiani Gesendet: Montag, 23. August 2004 15:04 An: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org 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? -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.
