Some relatives 'borrowed' my Toshiba Satellite A500 laptop for a few months and i just recently got it back. Havent had a chance to turn it on since today, and when i did, i noticed now there is a blueish hue to the display which wasnt there previously. When you physically move the hinge back and forth, sometimes the display changes from blue to pink, and sometimes weird shapes and patterns appear, but when you find the right position, all dissapears and only left with the blueish hue to the screen. It wasnt like this when before i loaned the laptop.
What does this sound like it could be? I connected through VGA and HDMI and the external display works perfectly, so i doubt its the graphics card, i'm leaning towords cable or lcd screen itself. Problem is most shops wont touch this for at least a minimum of $100 and as its an old laptop i rarely use nowdays, i would like to try and attempt to replace whats broken myself and if i destroy it in the process, im not too fussed, but again, i would like to try.
Does this sound like the LCD itself, connecting cable or an inverter?
Thanks alot to anyone who takes the time to respond to me.
