IBM-laptop screen abrubt colour change.

vsa24 · 05-13-2008, 03:50 PM

Hi all,

I am using one of the Z series IBM laptops since I bought it about 1.5years back. From last 4-5months, when I am working on the laptop, all of a sudden the screen becomes either blank or most of the times becomes totally pink/blue or any other colour!! During early days of this problem, I used to restart the system. Now, I just make it to hibernate and then log-in after few seconds. This is quite annoying and can I know what the problem might be? How much would it cost to get it fixed. I am in New Zealand and is very hard to find people dealing with IBM laptops! Thanks in advance to all.

hi vsa24,

try using an external monitor if it displays the same symptom. also run PC doctor diagnostics. if this is a Z60m (just guessing here), it can be downloaded from this page http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/si...&validate=true

EDIT:
please provide complete details of laptop (brand and model and product number). this will be a very big help for us and will prevent guess work. thanks.
