About a couple weeks ago I started noticing a screen issue that’s different from anything described on this website. I now see several bright areas or blotches across the screen. One blotch is brighter than the others. Changing the brightness of the screen doesn’t help. The blotches are most noticeable when working an application with [...]
The laptop powers up and the screen illumination is ok, but instead of graphics I get horizontal and vertical lines on the screen, they are colorful and bright.

Recently I have been having problems with the LCD screen.

I have a problem with my digitizer of my Toshiba Tecra M7: The pen works but no everywhere. I don’t see the cursor, and I can’t click in left border and top border (when the M7 is in laptop configuration: open with the key board). I’ve tested on Vista and Unbuntu, it’s exactly the same [...]
