It's the guy/poor sod with the Idek 17", having such *FUN*. I need Elec Eng.

Replacement Idek:  no smells, more real colour mis-convergence (a white
                   line has a red vertical line 2-pixels wide by it).
                   BUT ironically *much* clearer text @ 1280x1024.

                   DS DRAM -> VRAM card swap for peanuts being sorted.

Today. 3 times so far.

 o Suddenly screen goes very bright, everything explodes in size & blurs 
   out then suddenly dims and comes back as normal.
 o I hear a pop/click.
                                        <FX: Head on desk, quietly sobbing>

 o The LCD display doesn't change or light during this time (it does on any 
   change) so I don't think it's graphic card (DS) problem.

Connected?    I constantly have to re-adjust the H/V positioning, 
              it drifts 1/4-1/3" over time. The other didn't.

What is this?
I'll go paranoid! I will! ... how do Demon stick it? What's their secret?
OK, a guy in ROC (not made in Japan anymore, $:Yen), was sacked on a Friday.
