This seems a little odd. I have a 365XD 2625-4E9 (nearly the same) - Mine
had a bad screen months ago (white lines, screen would go blank) and IBM
fixed it in a recall. You may want to contact them about it. With the
"w's" and the trail it seems more of a software problem to me. What's it
like to boot up to dos??
