I don't know if a similar remedy will work for you, but ever since
I received my PB 190 the display would generate a comb-like row of white
pixel-wide vertical lines on the lower half of the screen if I handle the
lid a little too roughly, which goes away if I firmly pinch the left side
of the display housing approximately three inches from the top. I speculate
that doing so seats back some surface mounted display circuitry inside the
housing that somehow became loose. Hardly happens now since I know what
causes it and how to avoid or "fix" it (after weeks of hair-tearing
trial-by-errors).
BTW, I don't bother with JPEGView which my OS 8.1 PB 190 defaults
to for any new images which is irritating to me since I think
PictureViewers' quicker and smoother. Since Mac OS Easy Open doesn't do the
job with my preference, I change any new images' file type to OGLE via
Graphic Converter or File Buddy.
Good luck!
