I have just placed taskbar on the left of my screen so I do not see it. When I have taken apart my libby I have noticed thet pressing left bottom edge of LCD makes that stripe disappear.

Re: ct50 video ram - a word of warning
Date: Sat, 07 Apr 2001 21:52:38 From: "neil barnes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: ct50 video ram - a word of warning Pres, The giveaway for a cable/display fault is that it remains, whatever the screen size and resolution is. However, (I am not an LCD expert) I think the stripe is more likely to be a problem with the driver circuitry on the substrate than a cable fault - there just aren't that many wires. Even though it sometimes goes away when you move the screen, I think this is most likely to be an LCD fault...the only obvious cable faults are both ends of the connector that vanishes under the keyboard. It gets coiled up in the hinge, then goes to the mouse widget and the buttons and ends up at the top left of the screen IIRC. There are half a dozen connectors there. Cheers, Neil btw - I don't want to worry you, but I had a one-pixel cyan stripe for months and never managed to fix it :( >From: "Pres Waterman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: Libretto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: Libretto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: ct50 video ram - a word of warning >Date: Sat, 7 Apr 2001 12:53:25 -0700 > >Date: Sat, 7 Apr 2001 15:51:05 -0400 >From: "Pres Waterman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: ct50 video ram - a word of warning > > > > You may recall messages here discussing a vertical stripe problem on the > > display of a CT50 that weren't due to faulty connectors or cabling.

Or is this problem just for 50/70 series machines? ~marc - Original Message - From: neil barnes To: Libretto Sent: Friday, April 06, 2001 11:38 PM Subject: ct50 video ram - a word of warning Date: Sat, 07 Apr 2001 06:34:31 From: "neil barnes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: ct50 video ram - a word of warning Eyup, You may recall messages here discussing a vertical stripe problem on the display of a CT50 that weren't due to faulty connectors or cabling. The giveaway is that the fault is also visible on the external monitor connection, and windows may drop the video mode to 16 colours (though this is hard to see with the screen nasties!) I've had the machine in question, and the fault was due to solder joints cracking on the video ram. This ram is situated on the *bottom* of the board, under the protective plastic visible in the pcmcia slot. It's also right at the outside edge. Although the machine in question has had a rough life, it looks as if this area is sensitive to board movement in the same way that the main ram is sensitive to fat disc drives being inserted. So have a care while inserting pcmcia cards, guys and gals...repair is not easy without specialist tools, and not guaranteed with them...
