Neck Ache: Part 6.5

I have been scrambling the last week, working on school stuff as the term comes to an end. I also have finals next week. After that there's the hustle and bustle of the holiday season with relatives and driving and such. Long story short (or by now, short story long), posts are probably going to be sporadic over the next month. 


I opened the neck back up and wrapped the ethernet wire with some aluminum tape. I tried to get it down into the super skinny part but the angles were too extreme. All in all, I probably covered 95% of it, but that either wasn't enough or wasn't the problem because the display still had the same issues.


I need to track down some ferrite cores and try those, though I fear even if they do solve the problem, the one that will need to go behind the display won't fit. We'll see I suppose.

I'm still in the process of trying to track down somebody who actually knows about this sort of stuff. There's an uncle of a friend who might, and I'm also working to track down some electrical engineering professors... we'll see.
