A foot on the TP

#1 Post by Cecilia76 » Sun Mar 13, 2005 5:06 pm

Hallo,

my girlfriend put a foot on my TP for error: she is veery thin and as soon as she realized what she did she took off the foot.
We checked the TP and everything seems to be ok: there is only a non-uniform light on the right side but I am not sure there wasn't before.
Anything else to do to check it?

Thanks, C.

if there is no visually perceptible physical damage, and the machine appears to be working ok, you are probably fine......

The only thing I can notice is a light on one side of the TP with a black background. Non visible with other color.
Maybe it was also present before. Is it normal?
The black is clearer is one or two points of the side.

it is possible you might have developed a pressure point on the LCD, if that is the case if you reseat the lcd it might be ok

If it's only visible when the screen is black, and it subtle enough that you are not sure whether it was there before, I would leave it alone....

Thanks everybody.
I think I will go on this way and wait to see if any other problem comes out.
