Suddenly a thin vertical line has appeared on the display screen of my Lombard, halfway between the center and the right edge. It is not visible when that part of the screen is white.
It is my understanding the problem is most likely due to a bad I/O logic board, or possibly a bad backup battery. The machine has sometimes shut off during sleep (the blinker goes off and a power-on is required to bring the machine back up), which to me might implicate the battery. However, I tested the backup battery by shutting the machine off and pulling the main battery and power adapter, and it held the time and date settings OK for 30 minutes. One more bit of info: When running file system check (fsck), I get message: bootstrap_look-up() failed (ipc|send) invalid destination which appears three times on consecutive lines before anything else appears. 1. Am I on the right track here? 2. Is this problem likely to get worse in some way? 3. Does fsck message have anything to do with the screen problem? Any suggestions appreciated.
