UPDATE Acer Aspire 5630 Laptop screen/display problem
Hi Mark,
All I can say is Ebay for the cable and then download a manual from here http://www.tim.id.au/blog/tims-lapto...uals/#toc-acer HTH, Pete malarky wrote: Hi Pete, I've got exactly the same fault with my beloved 5920g as you had... one day the screen just seemed to be squeezed into part of the TFT. All of the desktop is displayed but a fair portion of the screen is black down one side. I was massively relieved to see you had found a solution, but having looked for a cable in the UK and failed... I'm starting to lose hope. Any suggestions for where I can track one down, and what the procedure is to replace it? Cheers, Mark. Pete Zahut wrote: Fixer wrote: "Pete Zahut" dont@bother wrote in message ...

Applications open up properly and you can see the whole width of the app, but it doesn't go the whole width of the screen - sort of full display but not full screen if you see what I mean. Also, don't know if it's relevant or not but the taskbar at the bottom seems to be twice as tall as normal and isn't drag-able back to it's usual size - cursor also distorts in this area. I'm not explaining it very well, so have a look at this photo: http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q...nt=laptop1.jpg At first I thought it may be a display driver issue but I've uninstalled and reinstalled without success. I've also used a program called #1-TuffTest Pro (http://www.tufftest.com/ttp01.htm) that is self-booting, operating system independent and never goes anywhere near Windows, but shows the same results, so I would say that that rules out any Windows driver issues. Picture of that test he http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q...nt=laptop2.jpg Any ideas what's wrong and how to fix it? TIA, Pete Have you done a graphics driver update recently ? No - uninstalled and reinstalled driver to try to fix the problem, but not updated. It looks like a mismatch, between the actual LCD panel, and what the software thinks it is driving. Paul Yeah, I'd agree with you there Paul - except for the fact that I've even used the Recovery CD/Partition to restore the laptop to the state it was in when it left the factory and the display is still faulty even then. Ok the way to tell if its hardware or software causing the problem is when the machine starts to boot drop into the BIOS whatever it is for your laptop, F2 for Dells , Del for some others but anyway whatever it is for your machine. If the problem is there in when you look in the BIOS its the LCD panel or Cable or Motherboard port. IF it's not there then it's a driver/application, error. Of course you could also connect it to an external monitor and again if its there then its the grapghics card or motherboard port or software/drivers and if its not there then it's the LCD or cable Fixer, I owe you a pint - a £12GBP secondhand LCD cable from Ebay sorted the problem. Thanks very much mate, and to all who took the time to try and help o) Pete -- Follow alt.comp.hardware,alt.sys.pc-clone.acer,comp.sys.laptops,uk.comp.sys.laptops threads | with your Firefox Live Bookmarks!
