    What? Do you mean the computer booted and the screen worked too? How could the LCD panel survive the heat? I would understand maybe if the computer booted up without the screen working, even though that is an amazing feat in itself!

    Yea. It makes my Fujitsu a hazard to fire. I should go invest into buying a Apple Powerbook instead [ :D]. Must convert to the Apple [ :D]
