The continued saga of the fubar 3415W

So, my friend who had his screen ****ed up and got to send it to Zepto (and later on paying over 500€ to fix it) have had his computer for what? Two weeks now? And alas, the screen ****s up again, but this time it's not six screens, no, it seems much more worse, see the attached picture for more details on that.

The screen have random pixels, and sometimes when he opens/closes the lid, he get's a "still picture" of the desktop, where the quality is horrible.

Now, the strange thing is that it act's like it's a loose connector or something, if the lid is moved, the screen gets ever "worse" and it starts to flicker.

This of course occurs all the time, so it's no driver stuff in Windows for those that might wonder (external monitor works perfectly, just like last time the computer got sent to Zepto!).

Seriously. What the **** is wrong with this computer, I'm starting to think it's possessed, this isn't possible, he haven't been, or rather, have never been violent with the computer, so it's not like he hit it when he got mad or something.

Oh and quick edit: The screen works perfectly when the lid is 0.5cm from being closed.

 

Sorry my friend always ends up posting my problems xD hes faster though.

Im getting tired of this computer and i rather buy a new one because i have alredy payed half of the computer on repairs now and i dont feel like doing it again, i could of have bought 2x 3415w for that money T.T

 

Another picture (the lines at the screen is there its not my crappy mobile camera) and every other "line" of pixels are white and its only a "picture" or my desktop i cant see anything moving.

And its so random now it works with my lid ½way closed/open and it goes like that worse/better.

 

I would also suspect a problem with the connector. Possibly a damaged cable between the mainboard and display or maybe a connector that is loose.

Maybe its worth taking my laptop apart and have a look, i have a dissemble guide and i dont got any garantee left and its not like i can make the lcd worse T.T

 

OMFG!

I just took apart my 3415w and i saw that the plastic cover that is supposed to protect the cabels from the lcd to the motherboard wasnt even corectly in place! (when i moved the lcd back and forth they were moving around ALOT) AND the small kabels to the right ( idunno wtf they are for xD ) were badly put were the kabels are supposed to run along in so when i moved my lcd lid back and forth they were rubbing against the plastic (which cant fking be good).


The person that switched motherboard on my last zepto support session failed @ putting it together because now when i coreected all the flaws i saw it works fking perfect.

Okay now im fking mad what the hell are the guys up at zepto doing !?


Im happy too though because now my lcd works.

 

OK. You have identified the cause of the problem. I suggest that you edit your last post to make it clearer for people to understand and then draw it to Zepto's attention.
