sullenly i unscrewed the sick screen

my monitor messed up again. no, the monitor was messed up anyway, still is - i made it worse. the thing has a resolution problem. initially it showed a random stretched, lined display till i shook it a bit. now thats all it does while its screwed closed. so i have to keep the thing unscrewed. another thing, which i am completely responsible for, is the burning up of some soldier in its legendary compaq mainboard (yes its a compaq 140. yes i am proud of it.). and i had thought the thing was all but lost but fortunately i somehow salvaged it. the problem now though is that i havent solved the initial problem, namely the lined display, for which the only solution is to keep it open while in use and a new problem of a weird shade that develops towards to the right bottom of the screen... thats irritating. but anyway, i can get on with my work without having to borrow anything from anyone for now.
