Laptop: Dell 5100 (2003). Note this is a different 5100 than the one I posted about in the 5100 memory/RAM thread elsewhere on Badcaps. I bought this (2nd) 5100 from local thrift store, for parts or possible full repair. I have no clue as to its history.
When the pwr button is displayed, I should get the BIOS bootup screen (there is no HDD in this laptop). But I get a fuzzy, distorted screen:
It should look like this:
I'm getting no LED (coded) error message, and the other functions like battery charge and automatic power-off and no-memory detect are all normal. Just that display!
Too bad I can't boot to the VGA output port!
Anyway, on first hunch, please take a guess as to what the display issue may be?
