What am I not seeing in terms of relevance?

Ana said 507 days ago:

computer problem? I'm guessing yes.... A 'blue screen' would work!

rosedaddy said 507 days ago:

yeah, windows is like that

philippe said 507 days ago:

@mooch: when your (almost) brand new (but not under warranty anymore) computer screen starts looking like this, I can tell you it's a real PITA :O)

@Ana: you're definitely a pain... A blue screen! Tsss... (I'm kidding, of course) :O)

King said 507 days ago:

The screen display doesn't have a lot of specific meaning to me, but I do think that computers can be a PITA all too often.

philippe said 507 days ago:

@King: probably it never happened to you, but when you see likes of pixels like these, it means you screen is definitely damaged and the cost of a new screen is a real PITA...

philippe said 507 days ago:

read "lines"

King said 507 days ago:

philippe,
I've bought a new screen for my laptop (after dropping it). Yes, a definite PITA and if I had considered that, I would have given you straight 5's on this one.

Bummer. Sorry, dude.

philippe said 507 days ago:

Well, it seems I failed to make the message clear enough on my two last posts.
As for the first one, it maybe too obvious...

mooch said 507 days ago:

Um, well, a few lines, they just looked like part of a black backdrop, almost abstract cool. Also, I have had two vaio laptops in my life and neither has ever had a screen problem so I perhaps didn't make the immediate connection of "laptop" and "pain in the a ss". I did wonder about those lines but couldn't be certain. Hence the immediate question...

If you don't want that PITA laptop, I'll take it off your hands.

I assume it's some hardware failure that causes those stripes on the monitor - and that really IS a pain in the ass.

So high scores. The only thing that is a bit distracting is those cables and stuff in the background - but hey, if that was the biggest problem with my pics... :)

bioLarzen said 507 days ago:

philippe,
how can a notebook be almost brand new but out of warranty already? Shouldn't a warranty be valid for at least a year? And a one-year-old notebook is not really "almost brand new" :(

bioLarzen said 506 days ago:

mooch,

first I thought of that also - that the lines are part of the desktop theme - but then i realized they continue at the tray.

philippe said 506 days ago:

Biolarzen, you're right, let's say it's "quite new", at least I didn't expect an important problem so soon.

bioLarzen said 506 days ago:

philippe,
that's the thing with hardware failure - you just never expect it to happen, so it always catches you unawares, plus always at the worst possible moment (see "Murphy's law" and amendments...)...

bioLarzen said 506 days ago:

OFF

And, at least, this failure looks good, right? Much more pleasant than a blue death screen :DDD
