Re: Driver Help, screen replacement

If its a Laptop by Dell all the drivers are obtained from Dell, specific to
the Tag# of the Laptop

If the screen display is correct, ie it simply does not fill the full screen
its probably a display setting, If however part of the display is missing
theres more going on, probably to do with the repair or water, a driver wont
make any difference

Help!!
My son, and kids came down for the weekend, and brought their injured
Dell Inspiron 6400. Seems my grandaughter sprayed it with water.
After they had a friend check it out, it was determined that only the
screen was fried, and their friend had a dead Dell Inspiration 6000
with a good screen and they bought it.
They brought it all to me (for unknown reasons ;} ) and I swapped out
the screens. Darn if it didn't work!
Problem is that when Windows XP Pro boots up, only 2/3 of the screen
is working, and 1/3 rd of the screen looks like it is blank. So I've
got a normal looking graphical view on a wide screen, that is Left
Justified.
I went into device manager and tried to get the laptop to recognize
the new hardware, then go download the proper driver, but all I got
was the message that the current driver was good.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction on where to dl the
driver from, and how to go about installing it?
They are only down for the weekend (leaving today) and live 600 miles
away, so I only have a short window for advice!
