My laptop's started acting weird; the display is unstable for a while, then it seems to settle down. AFAIK there's nothing infecting it; I have Firewall enabled, plus the Internet access is via my router, so to the best of my knowledge it's never had anything more threatening than a tracking cookie. But are there viruses that can affect LCD laptop displays?

Or is this just a hardware problem? I took out 3 years' cover on the laptop when I bought it - God, it's coming up to 2 years ago now! Two years?! Where the hell did that go?
