ImNewtMan, are you still out there? Is your MP2100 still jaggie-free?
My previously jaggie-free MP2100 just started exhibiting the dreaded
jaggies in the lower-right corner. I'm thinking about trying out the
cleaning the connector routine (I tried that once before, on a different
Newton, and it didn't help) but was curious if your newt is still okay 4
months after cleaning the mobo-screen connector?
If this doesn't work I'm thinking about trying Calvin Grier's
backlight/touchscreen replacement or giving Apple repair a try.
I HATE JAGGIES!!!!!!!
