Mouse stuck in upper left corner, screen dark
I recently installed Kubuntu 10.04 on a Toshiba Satellite 5205 laptop (which is prone to overheating, if it helps - it was on a platform in the back for airflow, though), which worked great for about 4 days.
Recently, I picked it up (looking for a USB port) and rotated it around a little bit. However, after this, the screen was darkened (not fully), and I could move the mouse for about half a second, after which it jumps back to the upper left corner of the screen. Rebooting doesn't help.
Is it possible to fix this? The warranty's already long dead.

Post toasties... Can you boot into the BIOS or diagnostics?
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

The Satellite doesn't let end-users access the BIOS (annoying). It never did. And it has no diagnostics.
