| 193643 | 2003-11-21 07:16:00 | I have a Compaq Armada 1750 laptop. The PCMCIA card slot was broken, so I thought I'd do some DIY repair work, after dismantiling the whole thing and not being able to do anything to the PCMCIA slot, I thought I'd better put it back together. Now when Windows is booting up AND when I enter a full-screen DOS prompt, the LCD display only displays about 10cm x 15cm of the screen in the middle. What have I done???? |-----------------------| | | | |-----------| | | | ~~~ | | <-- Only the ~~~ area is displayed in DOS. | |-----------| | | | |-----------------------| P.S. I completely disconected the LCD display to. (out of curiousity...) Thanks for any help. |

| 193645 | 2003-11-21 07:37:00 | My laptop displays in that manner by design. For DOS and Windows XP booting screens. The DOS screen is 640 x 480 resolution, the LCD is 1024 x 768. It doesn't scale up the DOS screen, as merging pixels in an LCD is not a nice thing to see. What is the native resolution of the LCD? |

| 193646 | 2003-11-21 09:21:00 | The screen was working perfectly before, showing DOS and bootup sequence in full-screen. I think the "native reso" is 1024 x 768. | Caesius (3758) | ||
| 193647 | 2003-11-21 09:32:00 | See the manual or the web. There should be a combination of a hot key, usually with the 'Fn' key to resize the screen to fullsize but the words would be blurry thou. Similarly what u do it via DOS box in windows going to properties then choosing full screen.... | nomad (3693) | ||
