Howdy all, I've had my 365xd for almost two years now and never
had a problem with it until the other day. The problem is when I
power up, the screen no longer has any color, everything displays
in a foggy, hazy white/light gray.
I tried tapping the machine from various angles a few times.
I've found that a sharp jab (probably not an approved fix) to the
left side of the screen near the lid hinge point occasionally
restores the color to the screen.
However, this does not always work. I've also noticed that
should I flip the lid down to suspend and then re-open to
continue where I left off, the condition again reappears.
I'm guessing I may have a cable problem since I can still get
the problem resolved with my fix. I suspect however that my
fix isn't a good solid repair though.
Anyone have any ideas? I suspect I'm definitively 'out of
warranty' so I'm not averse to openning up the case myself if
there is an easy fix for this.
