T43 LCD flickering

[Pawelek]

Hello !

Recently I've observed that when my T43's LCD is gently hit or my notebook gets some vibration the image on the LCD flickers a little. The flickering occurs in one place shown on the attached picture. When the LCD stays without any shakes/hits etc (during normal usage) the problem doesnt appera. Is there some way I can fix this or if not does this flickering mean I'll get new troubles in the near future?

I'd guess that you have a row driver with a loose connection. It cannot be repaired without replacing the LCD.

Thank you for fast reply. The question sounds: Should I bother to buy new LCD (that can be though task as this is SXGA+ version) and replace it or this problem wont expand and I can live with it.

The question is unanswerable, so if it bothers you replace it. It is not a difficult job if you use the maintenance manual and proceed slowly and methodically.
