- The same happened to me and I did exactly as yu did, ran :-). It's now
- happened three times since. Even popped twice one after another. Nothing
- happens to my display however. I have heard of a fix for this but the person
- telling it to me could barely remember anything about it. Basically, it's
- something to do with some wires need to be reinsulated... I know not, except
- if it happens again (scares the crap out of me everytime) it's going into the
- workshop... finding someone to fix it WILL be fun... NOT.
