    I have had an IFL 90 that i take around with me to school for work and such. It has a nice roomy case all for its own, well padded. I have had a problem before where when i boot, the screen will be speckeled with red wherever there should be black, but rebooting a few times usually fixed it.

    Today, though, when i booted up everything that should have been black was instead a lime green, with the pixels of this green vibrating violently. I booted into XP, but once again, anything black was green and vibrating violently.

    I checked to see if any of the LCD cables needed re-seating, but they all look to be in the proper position and not needing it.

    Any advice?

    UPDATE: After exhausting all options, i tapped it lightly against the wall, held perfectly flat (bottom against wall) while it was on and the green vanished completely. This leads me to believe something is loose, but i know not where to go next.
