faulty LCD

#1 Post by DaveB » Thu Mar 03, 2005 4:45 pm

Having recently bought a T20 the display is covered with horizontal lines - i.e. if the mouse pointer is on a black background then there are red lines to the right of the pointer. These lines move with the pointer as you move the mouse. It is not only with the mouse it is with any graphic on the screen but always to the right. Display is perfect on an external monitor.
Any info greatfully recieved - hope it is not the screen

Hi Dave-

I've had a similar experience with my own T20. Symptom similar: an area of distortion that varied depending on the screen contents and affected by cursor position.

In my case, the problem turned out to be a defective LCD cable. The tech changed that, and the problem went away. The cable must have worn down over the years.
