    Hi,

    I've got a problem with a Compaq C700. When the laptop is powered on the LCD is showing a screwed up image, when I plug an external monitor in the picture is fine on that screen. I purchased a replacement screen, but that shows the same image.

    Any advice would be grateful.

    Cheers

    if the replacement screen is doing the same thing than this is most likely an issue with the cabling to the LCD, or worst case scenario something wrong on the connector on the board where the LCD plugs in to. If your external VGA is fine then your GPU (video chip on the board) should be fine too.

    Yeah that looks like a cable issue.
