Hi all, appreciate in advance any help you can provide.
Today my 5 year old XPS1530 froze with a distinctly video chip look. The screen locked with all sorts of strange lines, etc. After rebooting, no display on the LCD. I can increase or decrease the backlighting, but no display on screen. I here windows boot, I can enter my password and I can tell everything is happening correctly, I just can't see it.
I connected to my TV via HDMI. I get a very low res display. 640x480 and no option to change it. In advanced settings, Adapter tab, everything is listed as "unavailable". Ie- chip type, DAC type, adapter string, bios information- all say unavailable.
Then below that it says:
Total Available Graphics Memory: unavailable
Dedicated Video Memory: n/a
System Video Memory: n/a
Shared Video Memory: n/a
So what do you guys think? And what should I do? Thanks everybody.
