My Qosmio laptop started having poor quality (faded, intermittent flickering) on the bottom 2/3rds of the display. Now it is black. The top 1/3 is working fine. The laptop has a nVidia GeForce 6600 Go graphics card.
Graphics card problem or display problem? How to proceed?

Same in Safe Mode?

I'm technically challenged...safe mode? And if it reguires me to see bottom 2/3rds of my display, then seemingly I'm out of luck.

When your computer starts, keep tapping F8 key, until you see this:

Yes, I got the screen you showed, and I selcted safe mode. It scrolled thru some text and then went to a Windows screen, but both were top 1/3 only.

In that case, you need to connect your laptop to working monitor, and see, if same thing will happen.
