I have opened my aspire one up a time or two. It has been so long ago I forget why. I think I was gonna do the hard drive hack but never did. After I put it back together the last time I installed windows on it. I was introduced to this strange visual distortion depicted in the attached image file. As far as I can tell I haven't done anything physically wrong to the netbook. The only thing I can figure is I electrostatic discharged into a chip or somehow broke the cable. I find both of these events unlikely as it was the dead of humid summer and I always ground myself before I start and during the procedure, though I do not wear a wrist strap. (I find them annoying) and I am ultra careful with things. This screen is similar in the bios as well, and during the boot up processes all the way from power on. With the exception there is no duplicated screen, its just in the first "screen" you see on the screen. [img]http://tinyimage.net/image-A4F9_4C27F039.jpg[/img] you will notice that below the top screen and the bottom screen there is also a 1 inch line of stretch. Also, the screen is supposed to display to the edge of the picture. there is all that black space on the screen. Is this thing trash? Anyone have any ideas what I could do to fix it?
