Overlapping Views

Dear All

A close family friend has an IBM R51 Laptop that seems to have a slighly overlapping identical screen. Their young son was using the laptop and after a second use the screen appears to have become over lapped where only 10-30% of the second over lapped screen is displayed. The laptop screen or display works perfectly when hooked up to an external monitor.

Here are some pictures of the over lapped screen taken by our close family friend.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum!

I hate to be the bearer of the bad news, but that ThinkPad will require a new motherboard. Video adapter is shot.

Good luck.
