even if the screen does go - you can use a plug in monitor - which i what my mum used to do. i have, on the other hand, had the opposite problem with most of my laptops, where the hardrive didnt' work and the battery didn't work, and the keyboard didn't work... but laptops are better than desktops.

that you can make it right it by tilting the screen back seems quite positive to me though, and more like it's a loose connection. mind you, iknow nothing about laptops, but... it sounds pretty good.

i think i am very quiet with lots of people too - in chat, and definitely with other people i don't know, and english is my first and only language. boo.
