Notebook AC power supply causes LCD interference

[Acura604]

I got a LG 22" widescreen LCD hooked up to a Toshiba A200-TH7 laptop. Everytime i simply plug in the toshiba charger into the notebook, i get these ghosting lines going up the screen...the moment i unplug it, bang..the ghosting is gone. it only happens at the highest resolution which is 1680x1050.

I've tried a number of things....

1. repositioning the wiring away from the laptop.
2. repositioning the laptop away from the monitor.
3. tried a different toshiba branded ac adaptor.
4. changed to different seperate outlets for each power cord.


anyways... lemme know if anyone has similar and if i just gotta live with it lol!

have you tryed a different VGA cable? maybe the ground pin is broken or something. Something to try anyways.

it's electrical noise in the power adapter there's coils of wire therefore causing feedback into the line. IF you had a monster power clean centre you wont have this happen.

I know cause it happened to me.... I can't believe it till I got myself a monster power bar

Does the VGA cable you're using have a ferrite core?

Those circular things:
