[DuoList] Duo 230 lower half of screen failure

[Andrew Holst]

You do not need a new duo. You can take it to your local mac repair. I got 
mine repaired for $10. But if yours is too expensive, I can sell you my 
screen for $10 or the whole thing (w/mini dock) for $25. Hope they will get 
it fixed!
