I've got a problem with the display on my Sony VAIO A215Z. Whenever I turn it on, as soon as the VAIO logo pops up on start-up, weird horizontal lines start appearing on the screen.
I've spoken to Sony who are quoting an astronomical amount to have a look at it, as I'm through the guarantee period, though I've only had the laptop for a mere 18 months and have looked after it well. I'm clearly loath to start spending lots of money on sending it back to the manufacturers if the problem can be solved easily.
I've uninstalled the ATI driver, and reinstalled it again, to no avail. Someone mentioned it could be the chip in side the computer that's damaged, and someone else said the problems could simply be occuring because of the 30 degree c (and more) temperatures at the moment.
Can anyone suggest what may be wrong and how to fix it?
Many thanks!
