IBM PC730/PC750 - Distorted image with video adapter

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
IBM PC 700 Series systems may experience distorted video images when an ISA video adapter is installed.

Problem Isolation Aids:
Using the Setup Utility, check that the Parallel Port Mode is set for ECP (Extended Capabilities Port) mode OR the Parallel Port address is set to "3BC". These settings may be viewed in the Setup Utility by pressing F1 during the memory count. System diagnostics run without errors when the ISA video adapter is removed from the system.

Fix:
Change the Parallel Port Mode to "PC/AT Compatible" or set the Parallel Port base address to an address other than '3BC'. If the symptom remains, utilise normal problem determination procedures to isolate the failing FRU or application.
