    Somethings gone wrong with my zepto's screen!

    Dark colours(especially black) seem to have a blue haze over them that is really irritating. Lighter colours and whites seem to be un-affected.

    It had been disappearing when i got the notebook hot. But now it seems to be permanent.

    Anyone got any ideas? I really dont want to send it away.

    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Cheers,
    Grouse

    hehe, I feel your pain. After what i have heard about NUsystems since i joined this forum, i would be gutted if i had to send it in.

    have you called anyone at Zepto or (ohh no) NuSystems and explain the problem.

    I find it strange that i bios and driver update would help. The screen doesnt just spantaniously start acting up, and need a new driver to work again.

    If you take a screenshot, does the shot include the phenomenon?

    Wow that does look pretty bad. Have you spoken to the tech support/customer service yet about this?

    In Denmark they have an option called "quick rep" or something like that.
    It gives you high priority, so you can have it back within 10 working days or so.

    Instead of 3-4 weeks.

    But im not sure if NUsystems can du the same, or if the laptop is just sent to denmark.
    The option you buy is 2 yours from your purchase date.

    I think its about 80 pounds.
