Internal damage to LCD screen

Review:
I brought the HP 17" Laptop and I have been happy using it but suddenly one day I find the internal screen developed a crack running diagonally and in few days the crack pattern also changed! it started with small internal crack line and now its widened!! I was using the Laptop 1 day before and next day I find this crack and I am very much sure there hasnt been any external force! I am myself puzzled with LCD endurance and how this can happen! Lesson learnt which I would like to share with you all is its always better to buy Laptop with smaller screen size like 14.1 inch or at max 15.4 inches
Hot dv9000

I just upgraded my laptop from a 2002 800Mhz 256MB Compaq Evo600C to a 17" HP dv9623cl from Costco. I did this because when I demo my web services, if the internet isn't available I have to run IIS, SQL Server on the laptop itself. Needless to say that the old one was just a little slow these days. After setting up the 1.8 Ghz, 2GB dv9000, I discovered that it was only marginally faster. I guess, as I have always known, that disk drive speed is REALLY important and we are still using 5400 rpm disks just like we did in 2002. As a reliability engineer from the computer industry, I can say that reliability halves with each 50 deg C rise in temperature. I always SpeedFan on my systems and keep an eye on the temperature. This is a really hot laptop. It runs 50C when doing little and up to 70C when working hard. I checked with HP and they weren't concerned. They say "it is set to shutdown at 80C." I suspect that most modern laptops run hotter then I would like, they are now really very powerful systems stuffed into a small space. Anyway it works good, runs great so I am keeping it.
