Howdy! Ben,   
      
   I got the notebook back together again but still can't use it.   
      
   When I turn it on I see the regular coloring on the Display for 1/4th   
   of a second and then it shows Ten wide vertical bands with many thin   
   vertical lines in each band.   
      
   While it was open I did see that the holder for the CMOS Cell had a   
   + Mark on it and I could see the + Mark on the CR1220 Cell.   
   So I know I put the 1220 in properly the first time I opened it up.   
      
   As I was putting it back together I thought of Holger because I think   
   that He uses a notebook and iirc He also does Service on Computers in   
   His Shop.   
      
   Those things were not made for Fat Fingers.   
      
   I did try being careful about Static.   
   So I may not had been as careful as I thought, since the display is   
   messed up.   
      
   I know the BIOS is working because after it is turned on, one minute   
   later the screen goes dark, and that is the Default setting for the BIOS.   
      
   I touch a Key and wait one minute and it goes blank again.   
      
   To me that says the BIOS is working.   
      
   That is as much as I think I know.   
      
   Stay Tuned for another episode............
