The Patch to Cataclysm and The Acer Restoration

Acer 5720G running Windows 7, patching
WoW backup on the external
500GB Drive
Patching World of Warcraft while taking a break from programming and getting the Acer to get back in shape before 12.07.10.

The Shaman's Acer 5720G that encountered white screen of death, During the time I tried to troubleshoot the error. I tried compiling  my own kernel at the time. So as to suspect a software glitch or error have caused this.

That led the shaman out of the game. There are many instances that I tried to isolate the problem whenever I got the time. And numerous occasions It get's to narrow the issue from a broader spectrum. Since most LCD has slim chance of getting defective than the inverter circuit. And several signs that make me suspect issues with its graphics card.

The Acer which eversince was running linux since I got it, from linux mint, fedora and much longer with ubuntu, accross each updates. I have been playing world of warcraft on this rig thru wine.

The Shaman's Acer 5720G with Busted LCD

The shaman's gear, ACER 5720G has a busted LCD (no display) but the system overall is still good, has display using external monitor. I tried installing several Linux distro, but seems to have a garbled display. I have a doubt that the Nvidia 8400M GS might be busted or something.
