I'm sorry: I don't speak hardware. :-{

Well, the font is back to normal, if not smaller; but it's so dim
I can barely see it's there. (The brightness is at max.)

No -- but I think I have a CD with it here somewhere, or can make
one. Stay tuned.

Well, the chief purpose of this laptop is to run proprietary
software connected with a GPS -- preferably on a virtual XP. (Wine will
usually install and launch, but not connect to a GPS.) Looks like I'd
better upgrade <sigh>.
Meanwhile, unless memtest offers surprises, I may try installing
CentOS 6.4, and look for some other use, or give the machine away. I'd
rather get the data off it first, though ....
