There's a thread in the hardware archives describing when a TiBook gets "electric" and when you touch it, it's like feeling a light vibrating shock/current. Most people said they never observed it, but I've experienced it roughly 5-10 times in the two years I've owned my Rev A TiBook 500. Because of it's strangeness, I payed close attention each time it happened and couldn't identify any pattern between each case--all very strange... I just always assumed I was going out of mind or something and never thought it could be a platform problem.
The second issue is that in the last couple weeks, the bottom third of my scan lines are flickering more and more... When I flex the screen or hinges a little, it definitely affects it, so it seems it's just a matter of knowing where the loose connection is (and how to get at it). I'm a tech guy, so I'm not afraid to go in the tibook (and I have the tools)--if someone could just give me direction on where it's probably, loose, etc. In fact, I've already opened it up and done a quick inspection, but i didn't see anything... I was unable to get the back screen plate off, however.... And if the same helpful person could give a pointer (or URL) on disassembly of the screen, etc...
Thanks,
