TiBook, stripes on screen ???

2005-05-23 Thread Larry le Mac

I have been offered a TiBook 400MHz with stripes on the screen,
there are four vertical stripes on the screen, unevenly spread
of about 1 pixel wide.

I would post a picture if I could, otherwise I will gladly e-mail
a small image off list if anyone who is kind enough to shed some
light is interested in having a look.

My questions:

What is at fault ? The screen, the video card ?

Is it cureable ?

Is it likely to get worse ?


I have to decide by tomorrow lunchtime CET (GMT +1) so I
would be very grateful for any replies.

I bought a 400MHz TiBook off ebay eight months ago with two vertical 
stripes as you see.  It was quite a bit cheaper than those without a 
screen problem.


It was from a resaler who moved quite a few various kinds of units, so 
I don't think it's easily repaired; they described it as a faulty 
screen.


It has not gotten any worse, nor healed itself!

I would also like to know what is the source of the problem.


Free Radical running 10.3.8 and 9.2.1 on Powerbook G4 @ 400 MHz.
