White expanding Dell laptop screen of nothingness!
Hey computer guys,
I have a Dell Inspiron 4000. Ok, she's old, but she's very reliable until now. The problem with my LCD screen can be described like this:
A few months ago, the screen would flicker. I would have to give it a little love tap on the back of the LCD screen and all things would be fine. Now what happens is that when I turn on the computer, there will be a white spot in the center of the screen and it will slowly expand outwards until the whole screen is white. And no, i dont take any hallucinagens!
So is this a problem with the screen? Or the graphics card? Or an inverter?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob

I actually had the same problem with an old Inspiron 5000e, and for me at least it was the lcd and since it was a UXGA, 1600x1200 screen they wanted nearly $900 to replace the screen alone.
Better off going new, lay the old dog to rest.
