[rescue] Anyone dealt with a SPARCle laptop with bad video?

[Robert Novak]

So I picked up a for-parts SPARCle 500 laptop last month. It has the
DVD-ROM drive, not sure on what else is still intact (it came with no RAM,
no disk, no battery, no power adapter).

I finally got the PC133 ECC SDRAM for my SPARCle laptop from an eBay seller
in Israel, found a compatible power tip  for my iGo universal power supply,
and powered up the SPARCle. Alas, I got what looks kinda like interlaced
video with missing lines on it.

I get the same on an external VGA monitor (

shifted to the right of the 1600x1200 monitor.

Anyone run into this before, and have any ideas on how to fix this if it
can be fixed?

The keyboard works-- STOP-A changes as does 'probe-ide-all' at the OK
prompt. For now I have no hard drive although the machine has a DVD drive
and I can probably try to boot opensxce or Solaris 9 on it. But I'm not
optimistic.

Thanks,
Robert
