    I booted my laptop today and the screen was pixelated and fuzzy. Happens as soon as I boot, sometimes the screen is split in 6 instead. In some occurrences the screen stays fine and then it goes back to this state or goes black, forcing me to shut it down.

    I've had something similar happen because of graphic drivers(on a different pc), I don't know what this is about in this case.

    Here's a sample pic

    Have you tried it on an external monitor?

    No I haven't. It will be the next step though, I'll try running a live linux distro first just to see if perhaps windows got corrupted.

    I had the same issue on my HP DV6000, and it was the GPU. It had burned.

    Heh, that doesn't sound good... and for some reason I have a feeling it could be this. Recently I left my laptop on and it didn't put itself in sleep mode, when I came back the fans were running off high and there was rather a lot of heat being dissipated, gotta investigate.


    Thanks though.

    I've hooked up my laptop to an external monitor, the screen displays perfectly.


    And for some reason my laptop screen is now okay, does anyone know if there might just be something loose like the connections from the laptop screen to the mobo? Anyway I can open my laptop and deal with that?

    I may have been a driver issue or a bug that when you change to external and come back to laptop screen i fixed automatically

    Yes your display cable might be loose (or going bad), try shaking it and moving the lid back and forth to see if you can get it to happen again.

    I did that, tried getting the widest and shortest angle from the hinges and I can't reproduce it as of right now. I'm going to wait a bit before resorting to physical repair.

    Hi, I've been having troubles with my Asus lately, theres a bunch of broken pixels for no reason, I haven't done anything to it but i can't see half of the screen because of the pixels and the bottom half of the screen is colored green. I don't know what to do or if it can even be fixed though.

    Sounds like bad screen or video card if half of the pixels are displaying wrong colors. It could also be the monitor cable. Which computer do you have? If you're under warranty still I would get it sent in.

    If you can take a picture and post it here we may be able to pinpoint what it is. In any case, it sounds as though you'll need something replaced, so Hutsady is right in that you should send it in if you can.
