M6809 Display
I'm try to fix an old Gateway M6809 [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]Laptop[/COLOR][/COLOR] (I'm snowed in today).

Screen looks like this:

Anyone know what the problem might be?


Thanks, Todd

Is it the same in SafeMode?

How to Start in Safemode

1. Restart your computer.
2. Before the windows logo you should gently tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with a Windows XP Advanced Options menu.
3. Select the option for Safe Mode using the arrow keys.
4. Then press enter on your keyboard to boot into Safe Mode.
5. Do whatever tasks you require and when you are done reboot to boot back into normal mode..

It's a laptop so no.

I suspect it's the graphics card which is integrated with the motherboard hence a new motherboard is needed.

Oh yes. Hooked it to a desktop monitor and yes... same thing.

Guess it's the motherboard/video right?

Thanks, Todd
