Hi all, some of you might this topic. Here's how the problem was solved.
I was in Singapore for a business trip when my LCD went dead.
I took it to the local IBM Repair Center and two days later they called me
saying it was ready. The problem was loose LCD connector only. Whew !!.
Now that I am back again. It made me wonder how long will it take if I had
sent it to Ezyserve ?
Thanks to those who responded.
