Re: "snow" on a Thinkpad T42 display & external monitor

I'm guessing the video adapter is integrated on the mobo, and I'm wondering
if taking out and reseating the RAM might be worth a shot. I take the
laptop home every night, so it gets normal jostling. They did a memory
upgrade on this laptop a while ago (replaced two 512MBs with two 1GBs), and
I am certain that the "snow" problems didn't start until after that upgrade
(although how soon after, I can't recall).
You might try my special technique of picking it up around 4 inches over the desktop and dropping it (while turned off).
