hello my dell d630 blinked a few times and the display splited in 4 and have no idea what happened. Is it more the display problem or more the invidia graphisc card?

Check your graphic card display is correctly set up to the correct Resolution otherwise Graphic card needs re-flow or re-balling.

DELL, ACER and Hp are well known by this issue.

yeah im with Salami this issue is
well known with this particular
model of laptop

could you tell us have you made
any changes or modifications
to the laptop lately

operating system - upgrade maybe?
new hard drive?
or even opened the chassis?

also have you checked
the graphic card driver on the laptop
maybe reinstall is a possibilty

using the diagnostics

hold down FN when powering up laptop to get graphics test
when done

shut laptop down

hold down D when powering up to access the builtin LCD test

Also is the laptop still in warranty?

Thank's for the hints I will try it tomorrow.

The laptop is not in the warranty any more,

I already tryed to reinstall the driver but no success,

The fault came while I was using it as always the only thing is that, that day it was pretty cold in my workshop where I keep it and after the startup and openning the first program the fault came up.

I'll let you know if some success with fn and d start.

Thank you again

yes when holding down the D the graphics were ok for a few days then again the old story with four splitted wiew

[d5alilij]

I will probably have to change the graphics card if available for spare.

rgds and thanks
