    The model # is satellite M65-5821. When screen gets pushed to 90 degrees or greater it turns yellow. Additionally after it has been on for a long period of time the screen will start to yellow and screen will have to be tilted to less than 90 degrees. Also will sometimes turn yellow when not sitting on a completely flat surface or if weight is unevenly distributed.

    Has anyone seen this problem?

    Have the laptop checked out for a loose video cable connection either at the motherboard or at the LCD itself and a defective video cable around the LCD hinge area. Note that the entire laptop will have to be disassembled to gain total access to the video cable.

    Losing the blue component of the video signal will leave the red and green components...hence the yellowishness.
