laptop help!
It just went like that when watching youtube in XP. Sometimes when I shutdown in Ubuntu it would turn screen like that too. But it would be fine and the system shuts down.
It's R61 7755 ThinkPad. Once in a few tries, it would actually work normal but only for a few seconds before breaking again.
Is this worth fixing? Where would I take it to?

Could be the ribbon cable connecting the LCD to the laptop being ajar. Although, in my experience, fixing laptop LCD's, they are usually secured pretty damn good. If your machine boots up fine and then dies, it's either your graphics chip gone to shit or the ribbon cable.
I would clean it out with compressed air where you can. The dust could be overheating the machine. And if that doesn't work, look up a local laptop repair shop to get it fixed. I wouldn't take it to BB or FS. They will rape you.

Guarantee its probably the inverter board... $10 off of ebay... If it was the screen you wouldnt see anything or cracks... Because there is still video it cannot be a ribon cable, which leads it back to the inverter board... Most notebooks that come into my shop with screen problems 80% of the time is the $10 inverterboard..

Try dusting it out first. Could be simply overheating in the heat.
