    I have an old N600c laptop that has a red tint to the screen upon boot that does fade after awhile. I heard that replacing the backlight could fix this problem but I'm wondering if anyone might be able to confirm that before I give it a try. Thanks!

    Red/pinkish tint is usually a sign of a failing backlight and yours is old enough to have that problem. I agree with your diagnosis.

    Thanks for the reply! I'm going to give it a shot and see if that'll fix it.
