Hey there.
Picked up a new HP laptop at Best Buy today.
It came with MS-DOS.
As soon as I powered it on, the bottom corner of the screen started acting up with these horizontal distortions. Just constant flickering every few seconds before it settles.
Reminds me of those old cell phones where the ribbon cable would just give out.
I’ve got a video of it, but I have no clue where to upload it.
Is this some weird MS-DOS driver issue, or should I just haul this thing back first thing tomorrow morning?

Maybe try booting into Windows—if it keeps acting up during the installation process, just go ahead and roll it back..
