notebook powers up fine. the thing is, after about 3 seconds, the screen
goes mostly black. if i use the function key to switch to CRT, it works
fine.

2nd problem,

i have a fujitsu mvh2080AT hard disk that i wanted to use but i cannot
determine if its compatible with the inspiron 8200 i have.

many thanks for your help!
