i have this laptop and (where do i look to see exact model number?) it's screen has given me problems since I've bought it. it shows horizontal white lines across the screen when i tilt it or when its in an angle it doesn't like, its pretty temperamental. i bought it through best buy and have sent it off to their geek city to have this issue solved twice and possibly three times now should someone on here now know the problem/solution, the first time they replaced the inverter cable, and the second time they replaced the whole mobo.The only issue with the screen is these horizontal white lines, i was looking at a few similar posts and saw people with horizontal AND vertical, and/or white AND colored lines, mine are just white and just horizontal. where the white lines are not during one of these episodes the screen displays normally, but the lines do flicker.
This is the first laptop I've bought, MAJOR TURN OFF! Please help! ![]()
EDIT:forgot to mention that this problem does get progressively worse over time, each time after i get it back all seems well until a week or two later then it starts all over again.

Hello,
Click on this links to get an idea how to retrieve the model num
For your problem, try to go to bios (tap f10 several times once power on) if you have the same problem, you might wanna send computer for repair
If problem is still there, pls inform me

I have had a similar experience with a Pavilion DV5 I purchased last April. Within 10 months of purchase, the screen started malfunctioning with grey and white vertical lines - which was intermittent at first. I have shelled out for the sreen to be replaced only to find within one month, the problem is starting again!
