Hi

I am new to this but really need your help. My laptop is about 18 months old and has always worked fine. Last week I plugged a broadband moden into it through a Ethernet cable and set up broadband. A couple of minuites after doing this when I looked at the screen again, it had gone all white with vertical coloured lines down it. I have rebooted the machine etc and that is all I ever get now. As soon as I switch on, it just goes straight to white with these vertical coloured lines. I have tried connecting a external monitor to it and that works fine. The laptop is a Toshiba Equium A60. I am worried that the screen has blown, is it possible for a surge or something like that to come down the Ethernet cable and blow the screen ?

Thanks

Adrian
