[Wolves] laptop screen bugger

[A2RT]

howdo

Ok i'm pissed off. I got a 2nd hand laptop a while ago, and it worked fin=
e and=20
dandy for 3 weeks the the screen went dim. Boo hiss. Took it to a place t=
hat=20
said for 100GBP they'll fix it. So, after messing about, picked it up 2 d=
ays=20
ago...and after using it for 6 hours....the screen went dim.

Now i'm wondering if i've been fiddled, or if its something i've done?=20
Basically is it possible for the wrong settings in XFconfig to blow the L=
CD?=20
I've read about how the wrong sync settings can do this...i remember havi=
ng=20
to choose several different settings to get the display working, and ende=
d up=20
with the following config file below (which appears to be set to use "fla=
t=20
panel" - hmmm?)

Any words of wisdom gratefully received, and if anyone knows of a good pl=
ace=20
to fix it let me know.
