    Hi guys,

    Maybe someone had similar problem as I do and will be able to help/advice me. I usually connect my D630 laptop to monitor, but now its messed up, if I open pic/video or just after few hours my pc crashes I need to disconnect monitor and use just laptop but it cuts view into two parts and displays 2 same windows ( Nuotrauka0119.jpg ) I usally have to restart many times and hit Fn+F8 to get to normal condition, but now even that doesnt really help.


    Hope someone can help and thanks in advance.
    Domas

    It could be that the graphics chip's BGA connection. Atleast thats one of the symptoms I've had on my HP Laptop. The laptop suffered from heat problems, and the graphics chip got so hot it melted the BGA solder points and the graphics chip had a bad connection, then I would get fuzzy screens, sometimes no video, sometimes it worked fine, but now its totally dead lol.

    Anyways, I'm saying you might have the same problem. Google BGA GPU reflow, or something a long those lines. I think the Xbox had a similar problem, there are tons of youtube videos that show how you can do it yourself, but thats really risky.
