    So I picked up the 6860 from Best Buy a little over a week ago, and already the screen wigged out on me. Today I picked it up to move it, and when I did, a large black line raced from the top corner to around the middle of the bottom of the screen. Everything to the right of that line is pure white, but still part of the desktop, meaning I can move my mouse to there and such, but I just can't see anything. In addition, when I move the screen at all, to close it or whatever, a bunch of colored bars move along that area.
    There's also a gray bar on the right side of the screen.

    Is this something I can fix myself or do I have to send it in for repairs? Or is that not even enough?

    Just go exchange it?
    It seems like the inverter cable is loose, but why take it apart to fix it when you can go get another one?
