I had an old toshiba tecra 720 cdt way back when, and the screen did the same damn thing. I just twore mine down, and one of the connectors for the ribbon cable, was busted, so i ordered a new one off ebay for $0.25, and it worked like new. I don't advise "bending" those, because in the top of the screen, is a VERY delicate cold cathode flourecent lamp, with is hard to get ahold of, and a bitch to replace. bending it is the best way to break that lamp.

toxic gases will be released if you break the cold cathode, but they can be replaced:
