Either there are multiple problems, which is rare; or the problem lies in an area that is common to the others. So most likely there is a power supply/ inverter problem. Probably one of the source voltages is low.

Hi,
This is a very common problem for most Dells this age.
You can try this repair if you feel comfortable.
Remove the keyboard by removing the power button bar (just gently pry up from the right side working left)
re-insert the mouse cable which is coming from the pad/palm rest. Re-assemble.
Check if all the screws on bottom of the unit are tight, especially around the palm rest area.
Good luck

Ok I have included some information that could be VERY helpful and given the correct credit to the original author. If you find this useful don't forget to rate the thread. Thank you.


SERVICE MODE WARNING:
Without proper documentation Don't mess around with the service mode adjustments unless you know what you're doing and have the service manual to guide you.
Once you enter service mode the first thing you should do is record all the original values BEFORE you change anything! - This is the only way to restore the television to its original (factory default) state should it become necessary to do so.

  • Sit in front the TV, you will need to be able to access keys on the remote and the TV at the same time. Turn the TV "ON"
  • Turn the volume all the way down to 0.
  • Press and hold the TV's front panel volume down button, and then press and hold the remote's "9" button for about a second.
  • The service mode will appear. \ -or-
  • Press "MUTE" on the remote.
  • Press "MUTE" on the remote again, but this time continue to press "MUTE".
  • While still pressing down on "MUTE", press the "MENU" button on the TV front. Release the "MUTE" button. You should now have an S (for service mode) displayed in the upper right corner.
  • Pressing MENU again should bring up the first service option Pressing the Channel Up/Down keys brings up the different service options. Pressing the Volume Up/Down keys changes the associated HEX value.
  • One you have entered the service mode, you can bring up the various test screens by pressing the "TV/VIDEO" button. For example, to minimize screen non-linearities, press the channel down key until PARA appears on the screen, with the associated default value (this is the parabolic adjustment option).
    Then, bring up the cross-hatch pattern by repeated pressing of the TV/VIDEO button. You can then use the volume Up/Down buttons to change the PARA settings, this should cause the grid to bow in (concave) and out (convex). Adjust until the grid is the most linear.
    The numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6 jump to different items. 9 displays SELF CHECK
    The number 7 displays a grid. There's a blinking cursor in the upper left corner. The numbers 2,4,6,8 move the cursor. 3 cycles the colors (RGB), 5 stops the cursor from blinking, then when you push 2,4,6,8, you are adjusting the convergence at that point for the selected color. Pushing 7 again gives you a "warped" grid for a few moments. Pushing 7 again removes the grid from the screen.
    If you're attempting to adjust color or geometry errors, you'll need the Video Essentials DVD, Laser Disc or some other source of test material.

    SOURCE: itt night quest 150

    Sounds like the image tube may have shifted in its mounting? This sometimes occures when the night vision has been subjected to an impact or dropped sometime in its life. Repair is not cost effective for a 150 / Gen2.

    Try clicking the auto adjust button on the screen. If this doesn't work it may be in demo mode, so click the fENGINEbutton on the monitor and make sure it is selected on the normal setting.

    SOURCE: TV all the sudden started curving the picture

    This is caused by either a flyback transformer or the IC chip that controls convergence and screen display.
    This is not tuneable as a DIY from any external controls It has to be replaced and tested in situ to ensure correct alignment of the display. Don't be convinced that this is just a board swap or DIY project. So many think they will save money by swapping the board, but other elements in the circuit as yet not failed entirely have caused this to occur

    Use a professional service to repair it properly otherwise the problems will continue after a time even with a replaced board.

    yes it could be or check to make sure there's not a temp probe inside of the oven. It usually will be inside when you open the door in the upper left hand corner. If it has a long rod on the right side of the oven in the inside then you have a bad thermostat.

    Nikon Coolpix p80 blacked out, rounded corners

    Have you attached some sort of lens shade to the front of the lens? The vibration might have something to do with the shake reduction system but I can't be sure. It certainly shouldn't vibrate heavily. You might get a better answer if you e-mail the tech guys at the support section of the Nikon website.

    I had the same problem w/ the same TV about 6 months ago. You need a new optical engine. Hopefully you are still under warranty. Once that was replaced, the tv looks great.
