The laptop overheated yesterday and when I finally got to it I saw the
pattern that is in this photo , I am uhttp://tinyurl.com/rfnjz I am
using it at the moment with an external monitor, so it's obviosly not
the video card, I suspect most likely it is the mainboard component
that connects to the drake that connects to the LCD and if that's the
case then the mainboard will have to be replaced, or could it be the
LCD itself?

Any thoughts?

Thanks
