    it seems that i got this weird red image on my screen that doesnt really bother me but seems to jus annoy me lol. i was wondering if any of u know what it is and how to fix it. i mean when i turn off the computer it doesnt show up and the screen is black but when i have a plain black wallpaper as my desktop background for example, you're able to see it or when i watch a movie and the screen gets black. if u dont kno what im talkin about i left a pic for u guys to see. thanks for all the help

    sounds like you got a bad screen with some stuck pixels. try running JScreenfix ( http://www.jscreenfix.com/basic.php). simply move the box with the flashing colors so it's under the affected screen area. it can help sometimes. otherwise, back to AW for a new screen i'm afraid.

    yeah, i thought that too - especially since the pattern kinda looks like the negative of a keyboard. perhaps someone pressed the lid down onto the keyboard with, ahem, unnecessary force.

    yea i was kinda afraid that was the issue too, i think that might be it because it doesnt look like a stuck pixel but i didnt do anything to it because i know the screen is fragile but maybe one of my boys did so im not sure but ill get to roswell and see whats up thanks for all you guys' help, really appreaciate it
