Fujitsu Lifebook 3010 N Display Problem

by heyray - 11/14/05 7:01 PM

I have a problem that was intermittent at first, and now it is constant. When I boot the laptop, (Fujitsu Lifebook 3010 N, Win XP SP2) the black screen with the Fujitsu logo has a group of small blue rectangles in the middle of the screen ( screen should be all black, except for the words), then when the computer is up and running, the display has a series of very small blue rectangle of various sizes all through the display. Opening and closing windows leaves "ghosts", and the cursor has a group of these rectangles around the pointer.

Display looks like you are looking through a blue screen door or lace curtain. Up to the point where this started, the display image was awesome.

I think the ATI 9000 Raedon Mobility chip (card?) has gone bad. I have tried reloading the SIS AGP drivers and the ATI 9000 drivers, but no help.

Any ideas?

ATI Chip Bad

I had this computer for about 14 months before the video processor went south. The Video chip started hanging the CPU bus and crashing. Since it was out of warranty I sent to Fujitsu for a new mother board for a cost of $600. When I received my computer back from repair, I opened the laptop up to see what, if anything was changed. I found that they added a fan and a beefier heat sink to the ATI video chip. So I had to pay for a under designed computer and a $600 video processor fan.

I am pissed.

Fujitsu ripped me off.
