    I'm getting red horizontal artifacts (very slight) on white surfaces while in windows. I don't notice much of any problems in games or anything. I can make them disappear by installing new drivers. They also seem to disappear when I reboot, but they come back after a while.

    Its been more than 3 months since I bought this refurb from TD, any chance I can reg this bad boy w/ gateway and get the full 1 year? :(

    mmm sounds like a flex cable issue, mine did that for a while, but only when it was moved, wether it be in a bag, or just sitting at the wrong angle, if u remove the bttery, undo the screws, and then take off the media bar at the top, the flex able is under there, just flick the flastic clip up and pull the cable out , blow some compressed air in there and stick it back, in , i have been gd for 6 months now, hope this helps u
