Over the past 6 months my laptop has been developing these vertical lines that run down the center of my display screen. At first, it was just a thin, single white line that was kind of off to the side. It was annoying, but I could live with it. Now I have 5 rather thick lines right in the middle of my screen. They are multi-colored, so that's fun. But the annoying vertical lines have now crossed that threshold between annoying but manageable to annoying and making it hard to do normal work.
Sooooo. . . tonight I decided to do something about it. I googled "line in middle of screen on laptop" on and after searching around tech chatrooms of people who've had similar problems I figured out that there must be some sort of loose connection in my display screen. So then I googled the manufacturer's directions to try to figure out how to detach the screen and crack it open to get to that little connecter
2 hours later, I have completely dismantled my laptop, fiddled with the connection, reassembled my laptop (and by some miracle I didn't screw something else up), but the STUPID LINES ARE STILL THERE!!!! So I guess the next step is to take it in to someone who knows what they're doing and pay to get it fixed. CRAP!
or... you could buy a mac! ;)

That's right . . . because a cooling fan that sounds like a jet engine is way less annoying :)
