Well if its been dropped ANYTHING could happen. My recommendation is to open the thing up (no it isn't that hard ;-) and make sure you can't see any obvious stresses or fractures in the circuit boards and that all the connectors are solidly plugged together. Make especially sure that the screen connector is secure, if that comes loose it'll cause that sorta problem. You can get to this connector just by flipping the keyboard up, you don't need to fully open the case. If you're feeling brave run the laptop without the case and do the freeze test on the RAM modules ... those seem reasonably delicate and the solder joints under them may have fractured (a freeze test is where you run the libby in a loop with something that tests the RAM then apply freezer spray to half the circuit board then the other half ... one half *should* fail when you blast it, reboot and divide THAT section by half and so-on until you can narrow down an area). Of course, if you were going to do that you'd probably want to try down-clocking first ... chips do deteriorate and its quite possible that the chip doesn't feel up to running at that sorta speed anymore. Hope this helps! - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
