    Today a technician came to my house and changed my laptop screen and now the screen too bright like rly light.... And I noticed that the icons have changed they became biger! ( the icons on desktop )..
    I talked to them and they sent me three drivers may need to install. I installed them and it's still very bright.
    they said they would call next week and will replace my laptop screen.
    I wanted to ask if you have any ideas to fix this without having to replace thet problem... ( and how i can fix the icons)

    It is mportant to make sure that the colour of the screen is fine before recplacing *

    Cables are messed up not seated completely or something along those lines if it's only the colors that are messed up.

    Also they may have given you a different model screen.

    What resolution is your computer defaulting to? It sounds like the monitor is not getting recognized 100% by the computer.
    You could always pop it back open and try reseating the connections to the mobo.
