    Hello,

    I have this notebook from allready 1 year now. Very soon after purchase I have the issue ilustrated in this clip: YouTube - MSI CR700 LCD issue
    The issue was active for arround 1 month, and it "disappears" a litttle time after I post the Youtube clip. It appears again in thel last 15-30 days, and is very random. I have to say that in mean time if I use my TV connected on HDMI (with both active: the notebook panel and the TV), the TV displays correct, even if the notebook panel is broke.
    Also I noticed that in "correct" work moments, it is a kind of "wave" the come from top to bottom (somehow simmilar with the interferences on the old analog CRT TV sets).
    From times to times if the issue agravates (I mean at length: normally is 2-10 seconds long, sometimes it can be controled be moving the lid from back to front and so on), the screen becomes full white.
    So for short, it can be a hinge/cable problem as sugested by some youtube reviewers?
    I also have to say that I have also yet a one year of warranty.
    Btw, in what concerns warranty, the nasty warranty seal that MSI put on the back panel, becomes to slide away because of heat. It is still covering the hole of the screw, but...

    That sticker on the back panel should not really have an effect on your warranty.

    I have read many times on the msi forum that your warranty is not void if you take the sticker off.

    I've had that happen on an Acer once where the monitor cable was not properly inserted through the hinge and as time went by the closing and opening of the hinge severed several wires in the cable. RMA it dude. MSI is usually cool about warranty issues. I doubt they'll bust your chops over a sticker.

    I've had this on phones, its a loose connection but that's it, you wan't to be tracking the LCD connectors and pushing them in.

    If your not confident RMA it but MSI shouldn't care about stickers, as long as you don't break anything.

    Is not about not beeing confident about warranty, but I have very much to work this period of year, and the waranty it takes at least 2 to 4 weeks.
    And about stickers, I don't know: I have many notebooks in my home, but MSI are the only that I have with this annoyng warranty seals.
    I wondering if anybody have an disassembly manual for C series?
