X230 First Boot

[afikbar]

Hello,

I've just received my newly purchased x230 thinkpad,

I've connected it to the power, and booted up.. At first some weird unclear screen, and then disappeared.. If I touched the screen a bit, moved it back and up, sometimes a quick bizarre screen came for second and disappeared.

I'm guessing its some kind of screen fault. Someone came across this? What can I do in this situation?

Thank you!

Afik,

Hi afikbar,

Please connect to external monitor, when first screen appears, please press Fn + F7 to switch display. For more info, please contact local lenovo for further assistance.

Hello fred,

Thank yoy for your reply,

i've connected an external monitor, pressed FN+F7 several times, but no succes, it just switch to total black, and if again i switch again it just random black with stripes...

i did contacted my local IBM service provider, but they can only fix it, which is kind of annoying, since i'm buying a new high-end laptop not to get a "fixed" one, i am willing to replace it with a wokring unit, do you know whom i can contact with?

thank you
