Weird. i just switched on my laptop today and i got some weird scan lines on the monitor. i rebooted and they were gone. is this normal or a sign that the hardware is about to 'deteriorate' (go bust) and that i should prepare my warranty documents for an exchange?

I bought the laptop on December 2004, a similar model can be seen at:

Sony VAIO:

I've talked to some people on IRC and some have said that they have experienced similar faults with their laptops (different brand). They aren't persistent though, so it isn't a big deal.

My warranty will last until December 2005. My intention is to observe whether the problem will arise again. If it does then maybe I should do something about it.

Is this the right approach? Has anyone had a similar experience in the past? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Good approach, sounds like (and hopefully) a fluke :) I guess its better than no video at all :P
 
Thats what the others from IRC said, "could be fluke", a one time thing. Which is normal.

Praetor, so I guess waiting it out isnt such a bad idea, for now.
