Screen problem.

Hey there,

First, I'm sorry for posting this here, but I haven't seen a general problem's part on this forum. Also since resellers and people with clevos are more used to change screens and deal more with them, I'm posting this here, even though this is not from a Clevo.

PROBLEM:

-> The screen has a huge flickering (image is always moving up and down) problem, and colors are all screwed.
-> The owner said that connecting to external screen, it works fine (though I haven't tested).

Laptop: "Toshiba Satelite Pro C65018T".

If anyone had a similar problem and know how to fix it, just shoot up some kind words.

Every opinion and ideas are appreciated, THANK YOU!

Sounds like the monitor cable may have got pinched or come loose. Thought I'd shoot a reply on this before it got flagged for being in the wrong place. I'd contact the reseller/Toshiba to see what options you have.

 

That's what I also think. But if anyone had the same exact problem and for example know for sure that it's a faulty part without repair that really need to be replaced, I would not open the laptop.

The laptop looks very well treated, no scratches... And wouldn't want to open this shiny thing. Every time I opened Laptops, there's always some little plastic things that breaks

ps: Video posted.

Thank you for your opinion!

 

It looks like you need to adjust your rabbit ears to get a better signal... The monitor itself may have gone bad or something is wrong with the signal in the ribbon. Don't think there will be any way to fix that without opening it up for further testing.

 

Thank you!

That's what I also think. If I don't get too lazy now, I will open up the screen only. If it doesn't fix, will have to dismount the whole laptop to check LCD connection from inside the laptop board (this gives a lot of work, since I open a few, and always break some crappy plastic ).

But it's not likely that the LCD connector inside the laptop will have any problem, I agree with you, it is a very probable cause being the cables that connect on the LCD.

EDIT: Damnit, it's not the cable on the screen, I removed all connector from, the back of the LCD and connect again, same problem... Have to open the whole laptop now. It's probably not fixable (I bet the electronics on the back of the screen are the problem).

Let us know the result of your testing so that we have records should anybody else experience these problems.

 

Sadly couldn't fix it .

I open the whole laptop, checked the cable from one side to the other... I reconnected the cables (board and behind LCD), and still didn't made a difference.


A lot of time lost for nothing.

But Thank You anyway:thumbsup:.

No problem at all, probably the monitor itself in that case. I hope you end up finding a solution.
