    Hello

    I recently noticed that about 2 pixels are being cut off or not being displayed on the top right corner my e1505. I think this only happened recently, but I can't be too sure about that. My monitor is 1680x1050, if this is any help.


    I was wondering why this is happening and what I could do to fix this?

    Heres a picture showing this... [​IMG]
    thanks!

    Does it do the same thing in other resolutions? Also, double check that you are using the latest drivers for whatever graphics you have.

    Other than that, you could try a Live CD (either Bart's PE for Windows, or a Linux LiveCD). If it's still happening in there (or if it's noticeable in BIOS or during bootup), then there may be a hardware issue.
