    Hi i have the above laptop and ive started getting red pixels on my screen and white backgrounds turn blue when i move my display back and fourth, is it the screen that is the problem or something else? if its the screen then what are the best prices to replace it? or is it something that can be repaired?

    thanks

    If it changes colors when you're moving/adjusting the screen that's probably the ribbon connecting the screen to the mobo that needs replacement.
