From: Steve_Karl on 23 Feb 2010 15:54 Hi there, Here's a photo. http://www.sightsea.com/renders/9200_2.jpg The white areas are totally gone and everything else is banded with what appear to be bad pixls, and some areas of it are flickering constantly. The good news ( I guess ) is that the display shows perfectly when viewing it on an external monitor. Of course that doesn't affect the laptops LCD screen. It stays messed up no matter what. SO... .... is it possible that replacing the LCD screen in the laptop will fix this problem? What are the changes that it's the mother board or the connection ( ribbon cable ) to the LCD? I'd just hate to throw good money away on this but it would be a great laptop if the display worked. Any suggestions for trouble shooting are very welcome. Thanks, Steve

OK... I spanked it good ... 3 good smacks ... and now the LCD on the laptop is totally black, but the external monitor is still working fine. Does this suggest that it's the cable or a loose connection? Any thoughts?
