| Re: Video problem Dell Latitude CPi A <snip>
No. if it's intermittent flickering, it's hardware. Also, the CPiA
doesn't need any extra drivers for a functional display under XP. Open
the case and check the ribbon connector where it joins the motherboard,
also the joints behind the LCD screen.
Battery out, power off, press power button 5 secs to discharge. Flip
upside down, remove keyboard screws (5). Flip over, lever up keyboard
- it's a press fit with side clips. lever away from keycaps as they're
a bugger to refit. Remove battery, HDD, optical and undo the couple of
extra top casing screws near these - the top casing and trackpad should
lift without effort. you probably have enough room to work without
disconneting keyboard/trackpad, but if not it's easy: unclip ribbon
connector and slide out.
To open screen, prise off rubber feet and grey blanking plates at
corner of lcd and carefully prise off bezel of screen. 1 screw at each
corner and the LCD will come out - lean forward and check connections.
At this point you can power up (carefully) and wiggle the connections
to see if it helps.
