The display on my laptop is now officially hosed. I talked with ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
hartree and we looked at the symptoms and took the laptop apart and it would appear that the video card is glitched. Since on Vaios (it's a Sony Vaio PCG-NVR23) the video card is integrated into the motherboard, this makes for massive ugliness. So. We can try to work through Sony to repair it (price to be determined but surely not small since it's out of warranty). We can try to find a Vaio on eBay with a broken display and remove the motherboard. Or we can buy a new laptop. I hate the notion of the later option - the damn thing is only fourteen months old. Grrr.
Anyway, obviously my online presence is going to be limited for the next few days.
