    Hey everyone .. I have a question about the LCD on my Asus notebook. I have owned the notebook for about 6 months now. Recently I turned it on and there were a bunch of white lines on the screen and it was shaking, you couldn’t see the bottom of the screen. This occurred right from the point when it powers on. So I called Asus and they said it was sent in for LCD repairs before and the warranty is over (from serial #). So it turns out the vendor had sold me a notebook without telling me it was refurbished. It was sealed and looked brand new with all contents in packages. So I called the vendor and forwarded them the RMA receipt from when they had sent it in for repairs. They were apologetic and offered a full refund. Now I am going to buy the FS3V-XI.

    However, I decided to wipe all the data on it…so I did a system recovery and the screen was messed up until I rebooted and began the part where you enter your OS information (name, network, language, etc) At this point the screen was fine. I have no idea how that fixed it. If it was a corrupted driver wouldn’t the screen not have worked at boot up? Before recovery it was even messed up in safe mode. Now when I bring it back they may claim it is fine; however, I do have the RMA receipt from before (forwarded from Asus)

    Maybe I should just keep this one? Or do you think it will happen again? I don’t want to have to continually do recoveries because the screen messes up. What do you all think the problem was?

    Thanks!
