Hey Im trying to figure out why my sister in law's laptop color is jacked up. From the bottom left corner is a red hue (like taking a magnet to a TV) while the rest seems to be in good condition. Is there a way to fix it or no?

I personally haven't seen that particular problem before, but the only cause I can think of is an LCD problem. If that's the case, the fix would be to replace the LCD screen.
I've heard about people having leakage from there lcd. Wonder if thats the problem.
My laptops LCD screen has developed light/dark spot on it. I would assume the only way to fix it would be purchasing a new panel, but I am not able to justify spending $300 on a new panel for a laptop worth ~$450.
You can sometimes find LCD's or old/broken laptops you can use for parts dirt cheap on eBay. A little over a year ago, I bought a replacement LCD for my old ThinkPad 600e for around $50.
How hard is it to repleace the screen. Doesit juts snap on or do you gotta do a bunch of soldering crap?
That depends... I took apart my brother's dead (mobo) Dell laptop and there's lots of screws to take apart... but when done carefully, I noticed that you could salvage the screen and transfer it to a different laptop.
I have an old laptop and the screen has redish tint, although, as of recently it seemed to go normal again. Try leaving it on for a while see if it 'burns off' (seem to be what happened to mine) (remember not to literally 'screen burn' it.)
nah this leakage problem i've been reading about also, i guess its kinda hard to get a lcd from dell without the problem. You only notice it on the bottom half inch of your screen kinda a faded whiteness. But you only see it when the screen is black, kinda odd but easy to live with.Quote:

I have taken apart a couple laptops, not of them would have required soldering to change out the screen. Laptops are made to be at least somewhat serviceable.Quote:
