Hi!

To make a long story short, I have a nearly-two-year-old Compaq Presario V5000 laptop, widescreen (15.4 I think).

It works *almost* normally, except for the fact that when any pressure is applied to the hinges (i.e. opening or closing the laptop, or adjusting the screen) the monitor starts freaking out a bit, and horizontal lines start shooting across the screen, and images jump around (i.e. the lower half of the screen will jump up to the middle or top, etc).

Also, I dont know if this will tell you anything, but the bottom half seems to be more affected than the top half of the monitor. Im really hoping this is just a frayed wire or something that I can just tape up, heh!

Thanks in advance for whatever help you guys can offer! :)
