[QUOTE="DracusNarcrym, post: 456949, member: 43812"] If the symptoms were generalized, I'd say it's failing hardware (especially the GPU - laptop graphics cards are extremely sensitive, mainly because they are confined in very small space and since laptop cases are very thin and compact, they do not allow for proper heat exchange between the inside of the case and the environment, thus providing inefficient cooling). Uhm, anyway, that was too much text. Sorry. :p Since the symptoms occur only when specific conditions are met, I'd say there's something wrong with a more external component, like the display strip (as other members have mentioned), the LCD itself, or something with the lid. I'm afraid this is trial and error and laptops are A LOT harder than desktop PCs to diagnose. Let's hope you find out something on your end because there are literally tens of possibilities here.

I had a ([I]very, VERY old[/I]) laptop with similar issues as well, but it turned out really quick that it was the graphics card that broke down. Also, having your laptop connected actually helps the battery, since it is the battery drain and recharge cycles that wear batteries down.
