Shaky display

[jigsaw]

My first post so thanks in anticipation of any assistance that members may be able to offer.

I have had a number of thinkpads over the last 5 yeaqrs or so and been well pleased with them. Currently have a t41 with a screen problem that I have been unable to resolve.

The display seems to be unstable, pictures and text at times become shaky and very ill defined making the screen almost unreadable. At other times it is clear and works fine.

I have tried system restore and all sorts of anit virus and malware programmes but none have found the source of the problem. It was all working ok until using it in the carribean last year when it became infected with a number of viruses, but viruses now all gone ( I hope). Any ideas

It sounds like the same thing I had with my T41. The problem there was the motherboard with the bad/cold solder joint, and the repair at the time was to replace the motherboard. All was well after that.
