Driver for LCD

Thread Starter 
Can someone who has a factory load tell me which driver AW uses for the 16.1" display? I can't seem to find the OEM, I thought someone mentioned Hitachi, but still I need a driver for it. The display does not come back from hibernation, or standby but all other components do.

Thanks in advance.

I am glad it's not just me then. I am trying to avoid calling tech support, they seem to know less than the guys at CompUsa.

16.1 - ATI - No HIB + other Vid issues -

Time -

Wonder if everyone with this combo is having the same problem. Would think AW would test Hib on the lap's before shipping them out. Anyway - if you find a solution please let me know.

I plan to call AW on Monday -

I don't have my lappy yet but if you look at another thread...yoda answered this very issue:

Had the same problem... it was the video driver.

apparently the drivers for the 9600 aren't quite finished, or stable.

So I used Omega's driver sets... no problems since then.

Well, save for a VPN issue that is irritating the hell outta me (causes my lappy to take 3 minutes to boot everything up). It's a Win XP thing...

I can't say this works or is true myself but it would seem that it is the ati drivers...

Omega Drivers - Good so Far

Ok - I asked where the drivers were before actually looking for them ( have to excuse the fact I was posting to the forum with my Kyocera 735 palm phone ) Searched and found and installed the 2.4.96C drivers and everything appears to be working fine.


Note - I used the install program to extract the files - then I updated the driver manually - the self install would not work.
