Picture of screen

I'm not exactly sure what happened (owner is in NY and I'm in IL) but I believe coffee was spilled on the laptop at one time. Is this a screen defect or is it a video issue. I'm voting that the screen is junk and probably not worth fixing.

I can drag anything I want to the right side but that nasty strip hides it.

heh.. dell will ask you to reboot your machine about 10 times first, then use the restore disc, THEN flash the BIOS. :)

I have seen that happen when the end user places PAPERS/FOLDERS
on the keyboard and then closes the lid.
