Acer Extensa 4420 Windows 7 Ultimate white horizontal lines

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
I have an Acer Extensa 4420-5910 AMD Turion 64 X2, ATI radeon graphics X1250. Installed windows 7 ultimate and everytime I close the laptop, or it is left unattended with the display open I get white horizontal lines across the display. I called Acer and they told me my warranty expired on February 9, 2010 and would say no more. I also get an error about the Catalyst Control Host not working. We have downloaded the latest version; error message still appears and I still get the white horizontal lines across the display. I posted this problem to the windows bbs and they suggested I post here. Please advise. Thank you.

Would it work fine with an external monitor?

I will hook it up to an external monitor and see what happens and post the result. However, having an external monitor attached to the laptop defeats the convenience purpose of having a laptop.

Agreed about defeating the purpose of having a laptop. But this is only for diagnostic exercise

probably a failing lcd.

Inverter could be also faulty, it's easier and cheaper to try a new inverter.
