Jarmo:

The computer was originally my niece's and she got the bright idea that 
if the computer "got hurt" while under warranty, she'd get a new one. 
Best Buy didn't give her a new one, but managed to fix it to the point 
where I think everything except the Windows Vista serial number was 
replaced. She somehow or another scored another computer and I inherited 
the rebuild model (which is fair since I bought it for her when she 
turned 18).

I know it is a new graphics display and the associated connections to 
the box. So I can't rely on historical issues with HP as who knows what 
is in it. It may be HP parts, but the assembly is from Best Buy. And it 
is so out of warranty that I couldn't claim defect as it survived the 
warranty and Best Buy's extended warranty including a very bad night for 
the computer at the hands of my niece and roommates.

That being said, I am going to google the info you provided to see if it 
gives me any additional info.

Thanks for the reply,
Paul
