My Laptop's screen becomes tinted red when I turn it on, but it goes away after a few seconds. This is a problem that just started happening to me today, and I can't help but think it's going to get worse unless I do something. What's wrong with my screen? Edit: Well, apparently, it did get worse. The screen flickered, and I heard a buzzing noise, and then it went black on me, and now it doesn't work anymore. As of right now, I'm using a TV as a monitor. Upon closer inspection, the screen DOES still work, but the light doesn't. I can still see everything on the desktop, but the light is off.
The back light is definitely broken. If your laptop still has warranty you should bring it back to the store or RMA it.
It's been years since I've gotten this laptop. It's definitely not under warranty anymore.
You could try try get a replacement screen. They are pretty shitty to build them in yourself though. It will cost you somewhere between €99 and €250 for the screen and labor. I think it's better to use another regular monitor for now and save up for a new laptop.
