early on it simply had a red vertical line of pixels about 2/3 of the way from the left side. Then another (blue?) line appeared. Eventually it started wigging out altogether. I could fix it by grasping the top of the bezel and depressing the front. This worked for a while. Eventually that stopped working. Then I opened it up and discovered that if I pulled down on the circuit board (it's at the top of the panel, in back obviously, Toshiba Satellite L25-S1192), this would fix it also. So I started applying tape judiciously to pull down on the board. Eventually that stopped working (the screen is mostly white, areas of faint blue or other colors). I started 'scoping' a little deeper and see that the harness that goes into the panel proper has extremely thin traces. W/the naked eye it appears as if there's a solid coper plane descending into the panel. I used this microfiche lense to get a magnified view. Crazy meticulous stuff.
Anyway, is my problem fixable? If there's a chance of fixing it, I'd like to know (don't want to blow 100$ on a new panel right now, nor buy a new laptop right now, and even my Asus eee 900a is giving me problems!). Please help
I guess what I'd like is information on troubleshooting lcd's in general. I do have a scope (no probe) that samples at 60mhz.
