[DuoList] Duo 230 lower half of screen failure

[James kilfeder]

Hi

I'm new to this list, but I've used duos for many years. I want to be 
able to carry my laptop on the back of my bike, and leave it on my 
library desk. If I use a ram disk it'll work for ages on battery 
power with the screen dimmed. And it's still the lightest mac there 
is.

My most recent duo 230, which I've had for a couple of years, has 
developed exactly the same fault as the previous one. The bottom half 
(only) of the (passive Matrix) screen has a series of vertical lines, 
which interfere with being able to see material clearly.

This time, it occurred shortly after I had inadvertently allowed the 
screen to get warmer from the sun than I should have.

Any suggestions? I'm not very technical. I'd love to know if there's 
a simple repair, or if I need a new duo.
