    I recently bought the 6615WD and I'm really satisified with the computer!

    One thing that is quite annoying though is when using an external TFT-monitor with the computer AC adapter plugged in. The thing is that white semi-transparent lines appear across the screen moving from upper part of the screen to the lower part, and my guess is that it's some kind of electric interference causing this since the VGA port and AC input are placed next to each other.

    As soon as I unplug the AC Adapter from the computer, the screen goes perfect again. The laptop screen isn't affected by this at all.

    I have tested two other TFT screens (and cables) and the issue appeared on both of them as well. I also tried another AC adapter with the same result. It doesn't matter where I put the AC adapter either (it actally lies on the floor).

    Anyone experiencing the same thing? I usually charge the battery full and then disconnect the AC adapter to be able to use the computer without any distraction, but it gets quite annoying in the end.

    Any help is highly appreciated!

    I guess nobody has the same problem then. :)

    Anyone using an external TFT monitor with the laptop? Just want to confirm that this isn't a general issue with the Zepto laptops.

    Thanks!

    I've got the same problem with Asus a6ja and external Samsung lcd tv. I connect tv to the vga output and if the AC adapter is plugged in the laptop I can see the same kind of interference on TV. As soon as I take the AC adapter out, the lines dissappear. I have no idea what to do about it or how to fix it :(.
