As some of you know whilst fixing the fan on my craptop I accidentally b*ggered up the screen... all the white bits went dark blue and the writing ended up with a white shadow... it's been making certain thinge (email etc) very difficult to read.
So anyhow earlier Jethro cat decided he wanted to move from one side of the couch to the other and in his usual kitty style just plodded over the keyboard of my craptop only for the screen colour to change to a pale blue and now I'm able to read the screeen much easier ;D Gotta love a cat with techie know how ;D

Give the screwdrivers to the cat! PMSL you could have a point there ;D It was ok paul til himself & I attacked it with screwdrivers one night... think something below the keyboard may be loose, might take it off and have another look *hopes not to get batterycuted*

there's the dreaded "P" word again. Well Feral, don't you know that the rulers of the house often know what's best?

Sounds like the cable that connects the screen to the rest of the laptop. Might be connected in two places. Under a hinge, and also somewhere under the keyboard.

Yeah I saw the one at the hinge so will see if I can trace the other one... himself has a habit of shoving wires any place to make the top fit back on anything which I saw him do with the lappy so it's likely summat like that.

Step away from the craptop! We barely to get to see you as is.... Pob, Paul and P**** - you're all awful. So bad that I demand pics of you dancing through a field of flowers - all of you in pretty, white, flowey dresses. Ahhhh, lovely!

Right you lot this thread is in the public section, please remove all your inappropriate comments as younger members have access to this thread *rolls up newspaper*
Well I've fixed it! The screen cable connects to the computer by what looks like a miniture scart cable which I discovered was loose so I pressed it down & the screen is perfect! Three blinkin weeks of squinting & migraines and I could have fixed it so easily!
Although while I was doing it my toolbars & tabs dissappeared off the page?! Does anyone know how to get them back?
