Hello. It seems that this grand father laptop is about to nd its life and existance. All of the sudden, when I tried to power on the notebook, afetr the BIOS post messages, the Windows 95 entrance gave me a garbled display. Everything is just messy and wavy. The picture is not calm at all. I can’t even read any icon text. While this is not the situation when I am inside BIOS. I think I have some serious video problem. Anyone knows how to overcome this? Thanks in advance.

Hello. Wavy, you say? How old is your notebook, and when it was opened last time? I am asking this because of very large amount of dust that indeed can be big obstacle regarding proper hardware functioning. When the temperature is above normal, this could be the effect. Open that notebook and clean it up as much as you can. Note that this is not easy job for non experienced user. The other choice is to try with some never (if there are any) video drivers. Take a look at IBM or Lenovo driver archive. Search for them by your laptop model numbers.
