The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Best way to test is to hook it up to an external display.

    Seconded. But generally when I've seen errors like that it's the GPU or vram failing.

    That looks like something was dropped on the back side of the lcd cover? Did you drop or have something fall on the back of the lcd cover?
