I have also read people say that running a card around the edges of the
Newt will get rid of the problem. I have a 2000, which at one point was
giving me such terrible Jaggie problems I thought I would go spare. Running
the card around the edge did not do the trick for me. However, I was able to
solve the problem immediately and absolutely by taking a small piece of
business card, folding it in two and inserting it between the case and the
screen. I had to try several spots before hitting the right one, but when I
did find it, the problem was gone for good. I did this about a year ago, and
have not had the problem since. Once I found the right spot, I made a new
piece of folded business card and trimmed it down so that it wouldn't stick
out from under the case edge and get in the way.
Has anyone else tried this approach?
Hope that this helps.
Mike
