{asking again with a top post}
Hello George:Is this also characteristic of T30s? I have had two T30s (and still use one daily) that develop scattered horizontal hash/pixel-thickness lines as they warm up that eventually affect the entire screen. I can usually make them disappear by applying pressure or torque to the case in specific areas, with reappearance as soon as I release the force I am exerting. They have both worked fine on docking stations. I have considered attempting a repair by inspecting the circuits and re-flowing solder where I suspect cold or broken solder joints. Your thoughts? - Mark Mark Henigan*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************[email protected]

What you're looking at is an usual set of symptoms for GPU detachment which is an extremely common problem on T4x units. Three fixes: a) Replace the system board b) Re-flow the board yourself c) Replace the board with an Intel based board from R51.
