    for the last year there have been horizontal line appearing across the screen. But whenever i put something in between keyboard and screen to bend the outwards the lines go away. I put it down to a model flaw with the screen being larger then most and no support hinge from keyboard to screen in the center. Getting fed up of putting in the rubber tho, what exactly is wrong?
    thanks.

    If you pipe out the display externally do you get lines? No? Likely a bad LCD. Yes? Bad motherboard/GPU/RAM.

    But instead of replacing the whole lcd, try replacing just the cable first, it's much cheaper :) Check out this thread to see an example: http://forum.notebookreview.com/gateway-emachines/334705-p-7811fx-screen-distortion-fix.html

    You'll just have to look up the part by either your laptop model number or by taking out the old cable and checking the part number on it. Or....take it to a repair center. Just make sure they don't charge you for something you don't need.
