-> Howdy! Ben,

-> I got the notebook back together again but still can't use it.

-> When I turn it on I see the regular coloring on the Display for 1/4th
-> of a second and then it shows Ten wide vertical bands with many thin
-> vertical lines in each band.

Try hooking up a regular monitor to it via the vga port on the side and
see if everything looks normal. Are you sure you got the internal vga
cable hooked up good or didn't break it taking it out as those little
suckers can be hard to remove/put back in especially if it's your first
time.

-> While it was open I did see that the holder for the CMOS Cell had a
-> + Mark on it and I could see the + Mark on the CR1220 Cell.
-> So I know I put the 1220 in properly the first time I opened it up.

-> As I was putting it back together I thought of Holger because I think
-> that He uses a notebook and iirc He also does Service on Computers in
-> His Shop.

-> Those things were not made for Fat Fingers.

-> I did try being careful about Static.
-> So I may not had been as careful as I thought, since the display is
-> messed up.

-> I know the BIOS is working because after it is turned on, one minute
-> later the screen goes dark, and that is the Default setting for the BIOS.

-> I touch a Key and wait one minute and it goes blank again.

-> To me that says the BIOS is working.

-> That is as much as I think I know.

-> Stay Tuned for another episode............
