lcd computer screen problem

[yellow_lamborghini_2406]

hi some of the colours on my lcd computer screen keep going funny colours like the white go's grey. so can anyone help please because its only a year old

I recommend boiled linseed oil. If that doesn't work check the cables are attached properly. If that doesn't work see if you can't borrow another monitor or try your monitor on a different PC with a view to identifying if it is an issue with your monitor or a graphics card/PC/elsewhere issue.

i just tried what you said mrjay apart from linseed oil :lol: but its still doing it

Your monitor lead is falling out of the back of the computer.... or out of the back of the monitor.

If possible, try the LCD with a friends PC to see if it's monitor or graphics card with the problem.

So is that to say that you tried the monitor on a different PC and it still misbehaves? If that's the case then your options are going to be limited. If the video cable is non-captive (ie it's got a plug at both ends, one for the computer and one for the monitor) then I'd turn my attentions to getting a new cable and see if that helps. If it's a captive cable (permanently attached to the monitor with just the 1 plug for attaching at the computer end) then you might have to think about returning it for repair.

Ouch.

If there are just a few pixels affected then it may be that the manufacturer will maintain that this is normal. Manufacturing tolerances with these devices allows for a certain number of pixels to fail.

If there are a large number of pixels affected then you may have to renew the monitor, but if it is only a year old I would ask the shop to replace or repair it under warranty.

yes i tried it on a laptop and its the same but the pixels are all ok its after its been on a couple of minutes some of the colours go a bit like the colour of oil in water if you know what i mean

and the warranty has just run out

and the warranty has just run out

Oh dear may be time for one of these then :wink:

 

[brianhabby]

and the warranty has just run out

There are arguments in some quarters that say some products should not last just for the 12 months of the warranty. You may have a case that if the monitor only lasted for 1 year then it must have been faulty when you bought it because it is reasonable to expect it to last much longer than this.

Just a thought - do you know any friendly lawyers?
