When it goes pink, can you sort of squeeze the sides of the laptop screen together, as if you were pinching it?
I.e. one finger toward you, the other BEHIND the screen.

and see if it changes it.nothing changes, i'm thinking it might be in the hinges maybe?I noticed it only seems to be when you open past a certain point, yes?

so it could still possibly be a damaged cable or something like thatQuote from: Kurtiskain on February 04, 2009, 09:13:37 PM

yeah your right i plan on taking it apart again an running it with the switch cover off an the front screen casing an poke around with a stick or something. Warrenty ran up a few months ago, sucks figures oh well.

any other ideas? how do the hinges work when you open the laptop how does it know to turn it on, is there a wire in there?Quote from: Mikdugal1 on February 04, 2009, 09:52:42 PM

Yeah warranties do that

And most use some type of switch/button, whether external or not, I do not know. There would be a SMALL pin that would push a small button down when you close it if it was external, but internal I doubt you would be able to see it at all.

It seems very odd though that it only happens ant a certain point, not flickering pink/normal/other colours

So it would seem past a certain place, the cable gets bent in such a way that it causes pink strips?Quote from: Kurtiskain on February 04, 2009, 10:11:32 PM
