Hello All:
I have a Dell L800r (winME) that has a serious problem. At boot-up the only display is some random verticle lines filling the right 30% of the screen. It has onboard video. What have I done so far?
I re-seated all cables and pc cards.
I re-seated memory.
I removed hard drive and installed it in my system. First as d drive, win2k had no problems with it.
As the d drive I scan-disked it. Nothing that couldn't be fixed.
I also virus and adware scanned it.
I installed it as my c drive. It would post and boot until the winMe splash screen, then it locked up. I am attributing this to a completely foreign hardware enviroment( or am I wrong?). This was some progress, I could see the display.
I am now thinking it is a on-board video issue. My instincts are a MoBo issue( hardware) as opposed to a driver issue. The display malfunctions at power-up, not at windows loading. Any other thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Brad.
