Sony VIO Laptop Screen Going Fuzzy! Help ASAP!

[font=Arial] [b][size=7]

I have owned a Sony VIO laptop since february, and in the past week, have encountered my first problem.

The screen has began to fuzz in lined patterns from the sides of the screen. Sometimes the fuzz is just a little flicker, but then at other times, the fuzz envelopes the whole screen.

I have checked my settings and everything seems to be in order, therefore i'm pretty sure the problem is surrounding the actual screen itself.

In certain positions, the laptop screen is fine, however when it is moved, the flickering starts.

I would be most grateful to anyone who can help me solve this problem!

Emma

Hello

Hi,

I have encountered the same problem as you have and I have the same laptop
I'm not sure how long ago you posted this but I wondered if you had solved the problem?
In my situation I had a warranty that only covers the hardware and they say that it is a software issue, which I do not believe to be true.
If you do have any information I would be so greateful if you could email me at mjdurrell@gmail.com or if you are still having the same problem then maybe we could help eachother.

Thank you for your time

Regards

MJ Durrell

I can think of several problems that would cause this.
There have been several manufacturer errors with VAIO in the past. Of a couple i can think of, the most likely would be;

A: Some wonky software problem. While i cant think off of the top of my head, its probably best to check anyway. You can either boot in safe mode or revert to last known good configuration. While this may seem entirely necessary, sometimes software works in mysterious ways. Edit: Also, while i doubt spyware could have anything to do with it whatsoever, its still best to run multiple spyware checks etc. just to clear up the possibility

B: A loose connection between the LCD screen and the computer. This is really common, as those VAIO hinges are very often cheaply made and quite faulty. This is a very easy problem to diagnose and fix. Simply plug a generic PnP monitor into the back of the computer, and close the case. If you dont get the fuzzing effect on the monitor, then you know its from a faulty connection to the laptop monitor. This seems even more likely as you said that it gets worse when you move the screen.

C: Some sort of interference problem. While rare, i have had people bring me in laptops/desktops before with a strange sort of fuzzing out or rippling in the screen, only to find they were having a compatibility problem with something near the computer (Coffee maker, blender, hell sometimes even PC speakers). Again, this is a pretty rare problem though as i believe most hardware is required by law to not give out any "harmful interference"

D: Some sort of miscellaneous hardware error. Be it a breakdown in the graphics card, some wierd hard drive error causing it to emit the aforementioned interference, which i have experienced before, or, as i saw one time, a large amount of ants inside a computer case causing it to behave erratically.

(Note: Please refer to an exterminator to deal with any insect problems.)
