Hi all,
For about a month now, I've been having problems with my LCD panel. I can hook it up to an external monitor no problem, but when I turn on the laptop, I can expect a variety of things:
a) it might work beautifully (about 5% of the time);
b) everything will be weird colours (i.e. black will be bright RGB Green), everything will also appear a little out of alignment;
c) the screen will be black with a band of coloured stripes, kind of like how a busted LCD looks...
d) there will be 3 horizontal bands of grey shades.
Sometimes, when I turn it on, the display will appear fine, but if I leave and come back, it will look all mangy.
I bought and replaced the VGA cable to no avail.
I would really like to be able to fix the current panel, as it has proven that it is capable of working. Also, because I don't have a lot of money to replace the panel, and I have a friend who's handy with the solder.
Any help, or points in the right direction, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
