Can you do anything with it? If so, it is probably a screen issue. If not, then a more serious issue.

i had the same problem with ibook mac, its the processor.
you can tap the area around the front of the computer and make it flicker.
the repair involved return with new software 3 times !! beware back up your files ...I didnt lose anything in the repair...
i had a pink screen with horizontal lines, while underneath all of the mess, it ran perfect,just couldnt see it !

Screen Lines
Could be your video connection is getting lose. My Dell did that. Take the unit apart ( basic ) and just tighten the connector from video card to LCD screen. Dell had a section that detailed this fix.

All set called Compaq last friday, they sent me a box overnight. I removed the harddrive, and sent the thing out on monday, got it back today with a new lcd screen. Not bad service...  |
