Upon boot up the logo is perfect for maybe a second and then gets very thin horizontal lines all across the screen. Sometimes the lines are solid and sometimes they are dotted. Sometimes they show up as white dots on a dark image and black dots on a light image. Sometimes they are solid black no matter what the background image/text is. Every once in a great while the screen or a part of it is perfect for a few seconds but then develops the horizontal lines and appears to "fade" a little. I connected a vga cable and the output to my tv is perfect. The netbook screen is usually readable with the lines but occasionally a previous pop up takes a while to fade away. I have done a "factory restore" where it is supposed to format c: and reinstall windows and I have gone to the bios and chosen to load defaults (yes the lines are in the bios setup too). I have also done all windows 7 required and optional updates. I have loaded the Intel GMA driver option in control panel and chosen all defaults. I tried to update the graphics driver for the Intel Graphics media Accelerator 3150 in the device manager and it says it is the latest. I have toggled through the screen outputs (Fn + F2) and it does the same thing in each one. Any suggestions on whether it is the screen or video card or what I can try next??????
Screen broken by more pressure
If it works fine when you connect to your tv then you've probably got a loose cable on the screen. You'll have to strip it to check.

You can go to the manufacturer web site and go to support then to drivers and downloads there should be a BIOS flash software utility at their site. Click Here to go there. Select your model and make sure it is the correct one. I would also go for the automatic driver update, this will find and seek any drivers for your laptop that are needed, missing, or upgrade them.
If that does not provide the info you need their is also a support number as well as live chat at the link above. I hope this assisted you in some way. John
SOURCE: msi sleep state appears stuck
Remove ALL media, DVD, CD, USB, unplug, remove battery, plug in reboot. OR try to boot to safe mode, open the Control Panel, select Power Options, set to High Performance, Change Plan settings, set SLEEP and Hibernate to Never.

SOURCE: cdrom driver not working
You don't update the bios unless you change to a newer processor,
that isn't supported by the version you have, if you find the system
is less stable then before, reflash to the old Bios.
There is no download for a cd or dvd rom, you only have downloads for chipset, graphics, sound, touchpads, ethernet, and a few other things.
Cd, dvd roms, use windows drivers,So you don't have to look for drivers.
There is something wrong with the unit, if you can plug in any other
cd or dvd and see if it works, to rule out motherboard problem.
If it works, you can see if is under warranty or you will have to get a new one.
Any questions, post back.
