    HI guys,
    I have a Toshiba M30 (YSJ model).
    I purchased it in 2004, and it was working fine until 2 months ago, when one of the hinges started to make 'click' sound everytime I opened the laptop.
    A month ago, the 'clicking' hinge came loose, and exposed the antena wires. The screen was still fine. The display was still perfect.
    However, yesterday, some lines appeared on the screen, on top of the programs I was working on, in the following fashion:
    || || || ||
    || || || ||
    || || || ||
    Then, I got a 'waring' which mentioned something about my N-Vidia driver, and the screen went blank. I turned the computer off, and then I turned it on. This time, and everytime after that, nothing showed up on the screen.
    Do you guys know what might be going on?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thx.
