Hi! I've stumbled into a chance to buy an IBM Thinkpad 701CS for about $100 and know that Linux works on these. But this morning, I went in to reinspect it and noted that the top 40-50% of the screen looked like it was not working completely when Windoze started up. (The best description I can come up with is alternate stripes of working and nonworking pixels.) Things were still readable, but it was quite annoying. I played around a bit and noticed that if I moved the screen a bit, the problem would go away and stay away regardless of what angle I left it. Is this just some kind of subpar connection or is this thing about to fry? Might there be something less ad hoc I can do to fix this, other than buying a new laptop that I can't afford? Anyone with more experience/familiarity w/ laptops out there? Thanks in advance!
