    ok so i worke up today, turned on my gateway,( which hadnt moved from the noght before) and bam, green line on the right hand side of the screen , a green dotted line, then when in windows, the screen was all pink flickery where white should be. I read it could be the flex cable for the screen.

    So i found a guide, unscrewed the 2 screws under the battery and lfted up the media pannel, took out the cable, and blew some comressed air in there, and in the cable connector, plugged back and and still the same.

    I did this the first time before and it fixed it, well didnt do it as much.

    Please help me, is there any solution, apparently althought i thought i had a 3 year warrenty, i do no (scamming ebay s).
