Hi everyone, I turned on my laptop to find it had become broken somehow. The screen during boot up (and in console) has unusual intermittent lines that appeared around some text. And when I tried to start X, it kernel panics. I was able to get the following output from dmesg before it died: http://pastebin.ca/544532
Although that looks like a driver issue, I can only assume my graphics card is borked. So since I am out of warranty I'm wondering if anyone has any idea how I can proceed to get it fixed? I'm sure if I sent it to HP I would be paying through the nose for them to replace the parts (not to mention customer service is €0.95c per minute!). Is it possible to buy the graphics card and replace it myself? Some people have said they think the cards are built in to the motherboard and it is most likely a problem with both. Can anyone give me any advice on how to go forward? I found this online so it seems possible I can replace the card: http://www.impactcomputers.com/5j149.html Any information anyone can give me would be very much appreciated. Cheers,
