Re[2]: [Thinkpad] warranty questions

BRUCE,

agree that last year's repair is not relevant. i will try again. the
guy i got this afternoon -sounded- like a dummy, whereas previous
agents were both polite and knowledgeable.

should i try reseating the cable? the flickering goes aways (flicker)
if i move the screen to a new position.

thanks to all who replied.
