Hi, My HP pavilion dv4 notebook [product #fj880av, CND9060VID)] has horizontal flashing red and green lines across the lower screen in the taskbar area. Video hardware is nvidia geforce 9200m gs. OS is vista home premium 32 bit. Bios flashed with newest version F.66.
Problem started a week after the warranty ran out several years ago and this became my backup computer. Searched these forums before and again recently, and attempted the solutions shown for similar issues others have encountered. I tried several things to fix this problem at the time (HP refused to fix it), and again recently because my primary computer just crashed.
SKIP THIS BACKGROUND IF YOU LIKE: I’m too broke after being laid off and out of work for a long time to buy a new computer, and this display problem makes the computer very difficult to use since everything you want to pull up is usually in this region of the screen. Have moved the task bar to vertical left for now, but even so these flashing lines at the bottom of the screen give me a headache.
Fixes tried so far included updating nvidia driver, and flashing bios. Can you please help me get rid of these lines?
