Fungus inside lcd monitor

I have fungus grown inside my lcd of fujitsu s4562 laptop when it's 7yrs old,
Fungus inside my lcd monitor they are spread fast. I start notice it grow from the middle of my screen

It look like dirt of old scratch at first, but it spread out more and more everyday

Until it look like cloud. It will look light grey color when monitor turn off and will look dark color when turn on and see it in white background.


When the cloud is so heavy I am afraid of it then I stop using this laptop. I keep it in paper pack and wrap it with plastic. Decide not to use it anymore. But after a month pass I thought about the other usable part of my dear laptop. How can i forget to bring HDD out?


Step of unwrap is quite gluey, i thought fungus love wrapping atmosphere much more they develop some gluey water with a sour smell. Very bad smell, now i can see fungus creeping to grow outside around joint of monitor border case. The LCD have a kind of white round fungus grow up by something inside LCD. I screw out monitor case and see a lot of fungus growing around empty space, but in the body part (CD-combo, HDD, CPU, battery, ram, motherboard, soundcard)not seeing any fungus here. I clean body part with alcohol and still keep it on shelve. I don't have any picture because at that time I'm in panic of disgusting fungus which had kill my laptop monitor will kill other computers in my house.



This is my recommend if you have problem of fungus inside lcd.
try to replace it very soon because fungus will continuosly increase and may grow on and damage other parts of your computer or may spreading to another machine nearby.

This is my atmosphere of using this laptop

- Monitor's case is aluminium

- Sometime carry around in backpack

- using indoor open air temperature 32-35 °C humidity around 70%

- using indoor with air-conditioner 24-27 °C

I wipe my laptop with dry cloth almost everytime of using. I thought something contain in lcd has an attraction for this kind of fungus not because of dirty hand from routine computer using. I see no fungus appear in other part except around LCD screen.

Problem installing Windows XP on Benq Joybook S32B-LM04

I have try to install Win XP on to Joybook S32B-LM04 (build for Vista) but it freezes!

At first I pop in XP cd ...
then press any key to load from cd.
The process continue passing all driver loading, then XP let you choose to install fresh copy OS or repair OS
I choose install fresh copy,
then it freezes at the blue screen that let you choose about format to NTFS , NTFS Quick

I try two copy of XP cd, it stuck at nearly same spot no respond from keyboard
Now I still can do normal boot from Harddisk because no format occure yet.

So i search from google about "XP install freeze" found that i have to check faulty for Ram, HDD, Optical Drive.
I try test Ram, HDD, and DVD drive but they all seem ok. Don't know what to do next i decide call BenQ support.

The solution is just follow step of XP installation but you need to be quick and no hesitate. Don't forget prepare number to fill in for your partition size.
It'll be fine if you can choose to format before it freezing, or else just redo the process again til you can do all step in time.

Blurry text on my monitor SyncMaster 743nx

One day i found one of PC in office has a very blurry text
So annoying all text from Destop Icon to Web content. Font are very hard to read.


First, i try setting monitor resolution but no help.
then try all the VGA properties setting, clear type, etc. not thing make the font sharper.
Then I thought maybe a monitor driver cause the problem so i remove and installing new driver from official site. Umm still not the point. Text still blur.


This time i think this monitor is malfuntion. I touch turn off button and thought about contact the shop for replace one.



By mistake my finger touch the Auto button that locate at no.5 instead of button 6 (see above pic) This auto adjustment button i've never notice it before, screen go blank few second.

Surprise it come back with fresh and a lot sharper text.

Note: If using DVI cable to connect your monitor monitor's Auto button will be not available
