Another laptop display bites me slightly in the behind.
Turned on my laptop (just over four years old) this morning to find the display ghosting (photo though due to the ghosting, I can’t tell how well it’s come out). It’s got worse over the course of the day (and it was happening in the BIOS so I know it’s not a software problem).
For quite a while, the display has flickered increasingly badly so I’ve bit the bullet and ordered a replacement. I’m a little annoyed as I’d planned to wait until I start my next post (whenever and wherever that may be) before replacing it.
Anyway, thanks to Dabs, I’ve ordered a refurbished Acer Aspire 5532. That means 8 times the RAM and more than 6 times the hard disk space of the out-going machine.
Given that openSUSE 11.3 is merely days away and may have gone gold by the time the laptop arrives, that’s what I’ll be installing.
