Ok, so I was in the kitchen and the lights flickered heavily after a lightening strike and now I go in and I see a horrible line on my laptop's lcd that sort of flickers on and off..

Its like a strip of pixels across the entire height of the screen...

Is that is, my lappy if fooked?

It is your laptop? Warranty much?

 

[Deleted member 4644]

Warranty no, laptop mine yes....

Bleh.. I can live with it, but its going to get real annoying if I ever try to play a game on this POS again...

 

[Excelsior]

why not warranty?

 

[Deleted member 4644]

shoulda used a power surge bar.

This is an act of god, warranty does not cover it.

 

[w00t]

or maybe if you are lucky you were using a power surge bar and because your lcd got owned the people who made the power surger bar are gonna have to pay for it to be replaced or money. what kinda laptop is it?

Should've unplugged the notebook. Surge protector wouldn't help w/ a charge this large.
