This is a major wear point, IMO, fot all notebooks..
the cable between the base and top wears out after Xthousand flex cycles...
AND, there are four different cables.. two for the two different variations of LCD placement and two for each display style (TFT and DSTN)...
i'm not sure if the cable can be had by itself, but i rather think not, though i may try to learn more since this problem seems to be cropping up more frequently..

If I then adjust the angle of the screen and cycle it between external and internal video; the screen then returns to normal. The problem occurred more frequently when Lotus Organizer 5.0 was installed on the machine. It decreased in frequency when I uninstalled it, but that just might be a coincidence. The problems shows up on both my Win95 and Win98 drives. Help! Has anyone ever experienced a problem like this one? Thanks in advance.
