Dumbledor123 Posted at 5:12 pm on June 4, 2008 Connection to the monitor is loose obviously. abiloo Posted at 5:57 am on May 20, 2008 Thank you, i will try this, although the laptop itself seems to be having troubles too though, i only use the latop to play the sims 2, and it keeps crashing and freezing after only being on a few minutes. I guess i've been lucky that its lasted this long, the screen broke way back in december. marshmellowman Posted at 2:35 pm on May 19, 2008 Quote: from abiloo at 7:22 pm on May 19, 2008 ok, this is obviously a key point to this, i don't use the moniter of the laptop, that broke months ago and my ex like sorted it out, disconnected the monitor with the harddrive so now i use another monitor. Ah, then from what I've experienced, the problem is probably with the cable, or the actual connection from the external video port on your laptop to the motherboard on the laptop. Can you try it with another monitor and see if it works? If it does then the problem is with the current monitor or it's cable. Or do you have a monitor where you can just change the VGA cable that goes from the screen to the laptop? That could also be a problem. The computers at our school have had similar problems, and it seems to be at the connection from the cable to the monitor itself. If you rotate it a bit the colour gets messed up, because not all the pins are making a good connection. abiloo Posted at 11:22 am on May 19, 2008 ok, this is obviously a key point to this, i don't use the moniter of the laptop, that broke months ago and my ex like sorted it out, disconnected the monitor with the harddrive so now i use another monitor. Crazy snake Posted at 10:53 am on May 19, 2008 Did you let it drop recently by anychance? Cause If someone dropped it without telling you, this would explain the tinge. There could be a slight crack in the screen, thats letting the light at the back shine through that part more, which could cause a bluey tinge. But that way, you would be able to see the crack... How old is the laptop? What is the model? Brand? i r sekz Posted at 5:50 am on May 19, 2008 Quote: from JamesBrauman at 6:57 am on May 19, 2008 Quote: from i r sekz at 3:08 am on May 19, 2008 Videocard may be loose.  You could take it to a store and have them fix it, unfortunately with laptops its almost cheaper to buy a new one than to fix them. Untrue. You can have most problems fixed for a couple of hundred dollars. Nearly all laptops cost between $1500-$2000 (in Australia, at least.) The one I'm on at the moment was purchased for $2500.   Spending over a grand on a laptop is almost worthless.  If you are trying to get a super computer for a laptop you just defeated the purpose of the laptop. Anyway chances are the laptop is nearly out of date and dumping another few hundred into it when you could buy a new one for a little more just seems uneconomical. Arjay Balboa Posted at 4:11 am on May 19, 2008 maybe there is a problem regarding the wires and the ribbon which connects the two folds...

DefaultTo0 Posted at 3:55 am on May 19, 2008 Does it do this only while it in Windows (or whatever operating system you use), or while it is starting up too? i r sekz Posted at 3:08 am on May 19, 2008 Videocard may be loose.  You could take it to a store and have them fix it, unfortunately with laptops its almost cheaper to buy a new one than to fix them. rand0mguy Posted at 3:04 am on May 19, 2008 get a new 1 All 12 previous replies displayed.
