    The screen on a laptop I have not used in several weeks is behaving very oddly.

    The image is washed out and faded, the laptop is unresponsive for a period, and as a new window pops up a portion of the previous image remains. When at the safe boot selection screen moving the highlighted selection takes a moment for the next selection to light up and the text of what was previously highlighted takes a moment to change to a non-highlighted state.

    Is my monitor dying or could something else be the cause?

    I was having some trouble with this laptop for awhile and had this written up for it, thought it could be relevant:

    Sounds like a broken LVDS cable.

    Can you take a photo of the problem?
