Many thanks for the replies on this.
What *is* the flex problem that causes the bottom half dropout?
Kilfeder
If it were my Mac, I would take this opportunity to
swap for an active matrix screen. They were made with a
different backplate and don't suffer from the flex
problem that causes the bottom half dropout.

You do not need a new duo. You can take it to your

$25. Hope they will get
it fixed!
