Seen it before on the lcd tv . . .

A purple LCD problem with my laptop, consumer electronics forum, no, comp & tech, yes, laptops, hmmm, maybe, Graphics, yes!

Here is a screen shot, it's purple, it's my LCD done and dusted right?

(The screen shot looks twice as bad / purple on my screen )

Edit: I am on work computer and I see that screen shot is fine!



Laptop between 9 and 10 months old bought from Lenovo. Should be fine for return and replace (of the monitor only would be nice?) but am not at same address anymore, hassle? i.e. no receipts and different country postal!

e350 for 9 months use; hassle of return or find cash for another cheap one . . . ?

Several questions in there; any useful answers to any of them will be useful. . .

Your screen is likely fecked, the imagine displays fine.

The other possibility is a GPU failure right in the rasterization areas, but to the best of my knowledge screen capture pulls the screencap from the raster, so if it was a GPU error it would show up on the screen capture - and I've had a few GPU problems in my day.

It comes and goes. I should take a camera shot, but it's basically the colour purple takes over most of the screen but is dependent on what is actually displayed. I was reading up on it and I have heard some say it could be a loose connection / wire. It hasn't happened in the last week, but when it does, either adjusting the angle of the monitor or simply shaking the laptop clears it!
