rudrax Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I think, my laptop is taking its last breaths. Today while adjusting the LCD lid, the display turned into solid color. The color depends upon the color of the wallpaper. I have a green wallpaper so the phenomenon shows greenish solid color. It gets fixed same way in some position when adjusting the lid again. Sometimes have to restart.I also found that the bottom-center part of the LCD is heating up a bit nearly 50-60C. Looks like some kind of malfunctioning.So what is it?

dcs18 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Looks like you need to revisit your own thread. :think:Edit:--On second thoughts, it's also quite possible that the ribbon of wires leading from your LCD into the bay (under your keyboard) might have one or more cracked wires just waiting to break-off completely.It could even be the case where the ribbon of wires might be in fine shape but there could instead be a failing component.

dcs18 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Do also uninstall and then install your graphics driver (with the latest release, of course) - just to make sure. :think: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
