    My friend is having problems with a hand me down Acer Travelmate 4500 with an ATI 9700.

    It's hard to explain the problems so here's a couple images.

    Those are actual screen shots, not pictures of the screen. The problem persists on external monitors. But pressing on the casing and physically propping the notebook up seems to temporarily address the problem. Of course, just moving it around brings on the above symptoms.

    Any thoughts?
