HP Mini 5101 rolling screen issues

We now have two of these at our office that has issues where the screen will just start to ROLL? Hard to explain, but it just starts to roll up and down. Never seen anything like this and the first one when in warranty had this issue, we sent it in, and they did something it was fixed and came back at a later time. Now we have two doing this. New OS install, new drivers, nothing fixes it.

Anyone have a idea why?

 

well the only thing which would cause a 'rolling' effect is if your vsync value is off. it was a typical issue with old dying CRT monitors and Televisions from back in the late 90's early 2000's.

Its almost unheard of on a laptop display that is this modern. however, i did have a dell M6500 pass through the office with a rolling screen issue and it was due to the user installing a monitor driver not meant for the TFT, and it had a wrong vsync value which messed it up. (this can happen a lot on linux distros too, with the user setting the wrong values for the X-Server screen settings)

I'm not going to go out on a limb and suggest this is the case here, but it's very very odd to see vsync (vertical sync) issues in this day and age. Otherwise could be faulty LCD cable.

Hope you get it fixed!
