865529 2010-03-10 04:17:00 Sony Vaio FZ Screen Issue

Overnight a problem with the screen on my Sony Vaio FZ has become apparent . A think multi colour bar had started to appear at the bottom of the screen . I am not entirely sure if the problem is related to the 8400GT graphics processor, I have had a preciously faulty one replaced which I hope reduces the likelihood that the graphics processor is the culprit . I am just going through now backing up my data in case the fault spreads further . My eye sight may not be sharp enough but it may have expanded .

Note that in the pictures attached it appears green but when I have something else up as wallpaper, or a program open, the colours change to reflect in some way what is on the rest of the screen . For example when I have word opinion the blue background appears black on the bar, the text area is a shade of grey . Also, my taskbar is not that thick . My available space on screen has not gone away as much as the fault bar suggests it should have, it is as though my screen has adjusted in some way .

I'd say it's the same thing.

865531 2010-03-10 07:34:00 I hope that is not the problem. Supposibly my faulty 8400GT (part of a huge problem nvidia had with the 8 series cards where almost the whole range was affected) was replaced with one from a non-faulty batch. I thought though if it was the cards fault it would have affected the entire screen not just a section of it. AST (13503)

865533 2010-03-10 20:37:00 It's a laptop, it is not that easy. AST (13503)
865534 2010-03-11 00:44:00 Well it's a problem, so I'd say you're going to have to. pctek (84)
