I have a Toshiba Satellite P25S609. It had a vertical line (about 2 mm wide) all the way from top to bottom on far left of the screen for a while. Lately when the machine starts, half of the screen on the left stays black with interleaving vertical lines on top of it. The vertical lines are about 1 and half inches apart. The black screen usually goes away if I move the screen back and forth slightly. But today things have changed - the (half) black screen together with the vertical lines won't go away any more no matter what I do, and the whole machine becomes useless because of this.

My questions are: Is the LCD dead? or is it because of the cable connecting the LCD and motherboard? I opened up the screen and checked that there's no loose connection.

If the LCD is bad, what's the last thing I could try before trashing the LCD?

Also you can get the white 2.0 GHZ with a 80 GB HD and 1 gb of ram it's still cheaper than the black 2.0 GHZ with 80 GB HD and 512 MB of ram so go for that.

So here is the problem: No dirt, no dust, I have the right programs installed and a new laptop. Despite this, I suddenly noticed today that the CD drive wouldn't open (I then luckily could open it with a paper clip) but what worries me more is that the CD-rom drive won't do anything when there is a CD inside. It doesn't recognise any of my CDs or DVDs. There is a light flashing constantly on the drive. The drive has always started playing automatically so I'm sure this is some sort of a problem in the drive, not because of the correct programs are lacking. Any suggestions what I could do in order to fix this? Thank you so much in advance!
