I've seen this behavior multiple times in Palm PDAs. In that case the connector to the ribbon cable is loose. Pressure or reseating the connector fixes the problem. -- Allen Brown http://brown.armoredpenguin.com/~abrown/ The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. --- Arthur C Clarke

I'll forgive you. It's the circuit board on the back of the screen. Putting pressure in the right place 'fixes' it temporarily. I get it all the time. Only once out of dozens and dozens of screens have I ever seen the cable be the issue and that was because it was dropped down stairs and survived! That be all, Mr O. --- On Sun, 2/13/11, Kaplan <[email protected]> wrote: From: Kaplan <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Eug-lug] Need Dell 15.6" LCD - Trade E1505 laptop To: "Eugene Unix and Gnu/Linux User Group" <[email protected]> Date: Sunday, February 13, 2011, 9:42 PM Seems to be between the cable and screen. I have to put pressure on an edge or corner to view. Otherwise it goes red and seems to freeze. On 2/13/2011 2:23 PM, Mr O wrote: I may have a 15.6 at the store that we could sell for $100.

Will trade a 15.4" Dell E1505 for just a working 15.6" display with cableage, dead 1545 with good display, or you can have the E1505 for a measly $100. The E1505 is in excellent condition.
