I dont know if I believe her or not, but randomly without any dropping it or physical wounds, pixels in the far right started turning white. This kept going until it was about an inch to the left that was all white. Then came some lines of multi colours on the screen. Right now she's still using the laptop but does anyone have a clue as to what the problem is? Link to comment
