My T-43 laptop gave that appearanceafter getting a little rain water onto the back edge last summer. It was in my briefcase, sitting in my tent. Rain doused my tent, 1/2" water a result. The next day, on first switching on that lap top, nothing happened. I then removed the battery, noted a drop of water around the battery cotacts. I blew all water out with an air blast (pursed lips; blow hard, aim blast at suspected water in niches.) Wiped all dry. Retried. Then all worked OK. Other than that...Good Luck! Angelo Campanella
