Da Mail Man

greetings all,

i acquired a Toshiba satellite m35x-s114 series laptop computer....1.3ghz, win xp home, 40gb-hd, 512 ram.....i have a video display problem of which the screen has a 'ragged" display image at the right of the screen..if i move the mouse the ragged image will be filled in so-to-speak which looks like the mouse has a shadow in the ragged edges as mentioned above....it is really hard to describe!...additional to that, the entire screen seems to be "discolored"...

......this laptop has a good battery and power supply and does not have more then 3 hrs run time on it nor has it beed subjected to dropping or any other form of abuse....

.......do you think it could be a loose video card or similar? ..i just did a low level format on this last night and reinstalled the restore disc......when i first booted it up a day or so ago, the "ragged" video problem was not there and now is....i have taken a pict of a word doc and have attached it here in hope that it will display........any ideas?......ya think i should try and open this up and re-seat the video card (once i find it!).......please advise and thanks again for your assistance!!!!!!
