1/2 Display The right side of my display just went black after some vertical lines flashed for a couple of seconds. The left half is fine. Is this a video or LCD problem? Thanks

  • Gliderider Nov 30, 2007

    Thanks, That's the first thing I tried because the problem occurred as I was opening the lid. The right half flashed some vertical lines then went black.

    I reseated both ends of the video cable and checked, no change, so I slowly unplugged the cable on the MLB end and colors and lines flashed on both sides of the display. I'm thinking video card but am not in a position to test with an external display right now. Thought someone may have had the same symptoms.

    Thanks,
    David

Hello Gliderrider!
Yep! Sounds like the LCD assembly. You can prove this by plugging in an external monitor. If that shows a good display, you've got a LCD problem.
If you are a bit adventuresome, you could always dig into it a bit and try to reseat the LCD cables at both ends. You'll have to get to the motherboard on one end and into the top cover to get to the one behind the LCD screen.
If you want to take a shot at tearing into this critter, follow this link for a service manual:

T30 always comes up with record-ready display screen

T30 defaults to an opening display screen based on where you were when you last used the device. When leaving from the record folder and record mode, you will always open with the record-ready screen. If you left your T30 while in the music folder playing a music file, you will be returned to that.

This record-ready display screen has a numeric and bar time line. The numeric values of the line are in hrs:min:seconds. This line is also split: the right half of the line indicates the total amount of available recording time, while the left half indicates your time as you record. If you compare the values of the right and left sides of the numeric bar while you are recording, you will see that the right side is diminishing as the left side increases in numeric value. When you complete your recording and save your track, the right side will now indicate the new total time (the amount your screen first displayed LESS the time value of the track just recorded).

When you are playing a music file, if you watch the time display, you will see the numeric information changing in the same way. The left side indicates how may hrs:min:seconds your track has played while the right side indicates the total time value for that file and will be correspondingly decreasing while you play your music file.

So in the short, you don't need to worry much about your display screen unless you open in the wrong folder or you need more recording time than is available. Then it has a message for you.

This is either a logic problem or a connection problem within the display controls. I have sen this with a power suppy problem as well. Since the picture was fine before the outage, it is unlikely to be the panel. Anything else should be covered under the extended warranty.
