what is wrong with my screen???

roastie

hi all was wondering if anyone knows what this is or has had and knows a way of fixing it with out having to buy a new lcd.











i taught it was just stuck pixels or dead ones but they flash and as you can see they do change colour. i have tried rolling back drivers

i think its odd it is a block like it is , if you divide the screen into 6 it is one 6th perfectly so not too sure what it is

thanks all in advance

What is the screen like before Windows launches, still the same?

roastie

Ah, have you got a VGA out on the graphics card where you can plug your a monitor into it and see what comes up on that?

roastie

it works on a monitor.

i was thinking it was a loose connection inside but the laptop never moved for anything to become loose.

Have you tried tapping the plastic at the hinge. Thats where the connection for the screen usually is. If it's a loose connection you might knock it back in.

Worth a shot. I used to have to do it on an old Gateway. Same thing, never moved but it came loose. That looks like a loose connection alright.
