A6G red Screen

Hi,

I put on my A6G laptop today, and the first thing I noticed was that the startup screen -- rather than its normal black -- was red. The Windows logo popped up, but the colors were weird. Then it went to the point where it's supposed to go black for a few seconds before the welcome screen, and again that was a red color. Logging in, everything looked off and weird -- sort of pinkish/reddish. I could see greens, blues, browns, yellows, and reds displaying (but again, off and strangely saturated).

Now, I did some searching and LCD monitors that get a "red tint" tend to indicate a dying CCFL backlight. Could this be the case here?
The color is _extremely_ uniform -- it's just a solid red when it should be black, no apparent variation. Possibly this can happen with a dying backlight, I'm not sure, but is it possible that it could be an issue with the seating of the video cable or a crimped wire?

I've got some pictures here now:

Note any blurriness is just because of the photos being taken in low light (couldn't get the room any brighter, and flash would wash all the detail out).

Finally, I plugged the laptop into a desktop monitor and that display looks just fine. So it's definitely a problem with the laptop's screen. If I could figure out just what is causing the problem, maybe I could try and fix it myself if no repair place can do it in time (as I'm due to leave on vacation at the end of the week, and I really need the laptop in working order.)

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
