As threads break it's best they are locked so that your new reply is not lost in a broken discussion.
An example thread is titled "HP Pavilion F1703 TFT Monitor Blackout".
It's a great source of ideas and a few cheap fixes but when a member posts there no one can find the new post. So it is time to lock it and move on.
