It does sound like hardware but I would suggest re-installing the display driver first before sending it back.
Actually updating rather than re-installing may be the best course if you know the name of your graphics card perhaps from Device Manager or Belarc Advisor, and can go to the web site. Unfortunately this will knock out your Video Intercept Manager with Jaws so a re-install here will also be necessary. I think NVDA can continue working irrespective of updates to a graphics driver. Hope you can get it resolved.

I've had reports of the screen looking garbled, i.e., displaying lines instead of actual graphics. Does anyone know if this can be fixed? If so would it require sending the laptop off for repair? Because I don't have a spare machine to play with but at the same time I'd rather get it fixed before it doesn't work at all. Please advise.
