Post by: Miss Demeanour on September 17, 2011, 06:05:30 AM
I was using my laptop last night when the screen went all fecked ...just lines and can't see screen behind  evil:

I was just watching IPlayer nuffink else  sad24:

The lines haven't gone ...any quick fix solution ?

It is still under warranty so I can take it back but didn't fancy trudging all the way into town today  sad32:

Prolly the cable is gubbed.  Ring them because they will prolly want someone (i.e. not them) to collect it and take it away for repair.)

I've 'ed this owld Dell steam driven thing since early '04.... or was it '03 even? rubschin:

Apart from the occasional struggling fan when it's too 'ot like and the original screen gubbing itself within the first week, and a odd blue line that vanished after a few weeks, it's been the absolute dogs bollox, and it still going strong even now. :thumbsup:

It's been sent away ...2 to 4 weeks for repair they guesstimate.
