ok, i finally got around to buying a LCD screen from Ebay that was the right size, model and everything. It didnt work... It was the same excact thing, not a red screen, the red screen is gone, now I just cant see anything no more. My dad suggested that it might be soemthing actually inside the computer like a video chip or something. And if dont know wat im talking about then please clik the link.

P.S.- I was quite excited about this new LCD screen but now im very dissapointed because thats $34 wasted. So ANYsuggestions are welcome.
