Laptop screen suddenly loses resolution/color?

[SuepaFly]

I don't know what it has to do with, old age or maybe something is loose inside. But sometimes (with increasing frequency too) my thinkpad screen turns everything into a grayish shade and seems to loose its resolution. Sometimes the problem is alleviated when I move the screen back or forth, but sometimes not. Anyone ever experience this? TIA

Hopefully just the LCD->video card cable is loose, but I'm scared to open up laptops so I can't help you figure out exactly how to check. If that's not it, possibly your LCD or video card might be damaged. If that's not it, then it's the motherboard I would think. It's probably one of the first solutions, but like I said I'm no good at dismantling laptops. Try checking IBM's website for your model - they usually have diagrams of how to take the laptop apart and troubleshooting charts.
