My laptop display (and/or videocard?) is on the fritz

The right 25% or so is covered with vertical multicolored bars.  It changes a bit with the orientation of the screen, and not at all between text and graphics modes, so I guess this is likely to be a problem with the display itself (or even the connection between the display and the video card?) and not the video card?  Are laptop displays replaceable at reasonable cost?

If you take a screenshot and it's still fucked up, it's probably the GPU itself and not the connection.

ooh good idea, don't I feel dumb for not thinking of that.  nope, screenshot looks fine.

Try installing new drivers for your video card or rolling back to older drivers and see if that does anything for you. I remember my laptop started seriously bugging out one night after playing Warhammer on it (that game raped my poor laptop) but it eventually corrected itself after a few reboots. I had horizontal fuzzy white noise lines and purple glitches everywhere, even in screenshots.

Does it make any difference at what angle the screen is?
