I will have to agree. My 2100 recently started loosing alignment and experiencing jaggies at certain areas of the screen. Cleaning, using a business card under the screen was only temporarily helping and helping less and less.

Taking this theory into mind, yesterday I lifted the bezel on the PC Card side, providing a light pressure for a couple seconds, spreading the seam. I did this several times and viola... jaggies have haven't returned and now have been gone much longer than cleaning.

I'm guessing I've developed jaggies more specifically because of my belt / hip case. Although it is well padded, I'm sure undo pressure is being placed on the Newton's case and bezel when I'm sitting in my car. hmmm...

Thanks for chiming in! Perfect timing.
