Hi
Just replaced original hdd with ssd and went to install Linux. On loading install from USB, the screen was duplicated 4 ways and cannot read the text. Still managed to install linux fully, but the problem persists after taking off screen several times to check all connections and restarting. Is it a connection issue or software eg driver issue? photo attached. Thanks for any ideas to help. I can probably use Terminal if needed...
