Having the same issue with my Wallstreet/250. I've also noticed since I
have had this laptop, that at times with prolonged use on my bed or lap I'll
start to get shadowing on the lcd..
For now I shut it down and let it cool. But being this is my only
computer for awhile.. That can't be the longterm fix.. Would getting one of
those laptop coolers that go underneath help the situation at all?
