A weak link to laptop screens is the cable connections to them. Usually you can verify this by moving the screen around on the hinge but not always. If there is a broken or intermittent connection in a flexible cable, you cannot fix it yourself. I hope I am incorrect because repair is not inexpensive.
Hi All,
Just to confirm!!
I have a Toshiba Satellite 5005-S504.
Win XP Etc. Two years old. No problems 'till now.
The Screen has started flickering and changing color, (sort of like Safe Mode VGA or a negative) and lines flashing across the screen.
Anyone know what is going on?
Thanks,
Joe
