I have an IBM Thinkpad 750Cs, Dual Scan Colour notebook. Over the pst two
days it's started to show some odd symptoms in the lower half of the display
at boot up. It's corrected by a light tap to the side of the lid.

Symptom: Vertical lines appear on the lower half of the display, and they
seem to be the three primary colours. It's as if the convergence has drifted,
though I undrstand that this is not the way a dual scan works.

I plan to take it to an IBM service point as it is still under warranty. The
first year was only up last November, and I understand it is covered by a 3
year warranty.

Can someone explain what it's likely to be?
