Screen about to combust!

Unfortunately not from pictures of hot guys either, no, for real.

I just lost another row of pixels on my laptop monitor. I'm backing all my shit up NOW, because it's going to fail any minute. I thought it might hold til Christmas but it's not looking good, friends.

FRAK.

NOES! Laptop not die! *sads*

Is it just the monitor, or the whole machine?

Ack! And the screen is the most expensive piece of the laptop to replace. :( Yes, making a backup is always a good idea.

Aww... do you have a spare monitor you could hook it up to as a temp solution?

I am an expert deal finder so let what/if you are looking for a replacement. Laptops have gotten a lot cheaper. Best Buy had a doorbuster last week with an HP for $299.

I second the idea about an external monitor that you can hook up to the computer - it might prolong the useful life of the laptop just a little longer. I have a monitor hooked up to my laptop most times, via a docking station, but I've also had it plugged directly in when I wanted two have two monitors.
