Hello again all. This morning, pretty pleased with myself after getting up early and deciding to be productive, I broke my lappy's screen. Totalled. The backlight was flickering, which is barely noticeable except with a bright...
Thanks for your reply. I've had this problem before, but switching the bay the DVD drive was resting in (thus changing its loading sequence at boot) solved the problem. I *had* already tried switching the drive bay, but just on a...

This was my problem 2 weeks ago. After a day (literally) of screaming (and also trying all the ways I could think of), I swapped the CD drive to a different bay: it used to be left-hand side at the front, now it's left-hand side at...
I'm getting this on my 8890 as well. Anyone willing to explain where the 'connector' is?
