Laptop screen

Supatramp

My laptop screen has suddenly developed a probem.


Across the bottom, where the taskbar is, has appreared a pink/green semi-transparent strip covering the taskbar and making it difficult to see/read.


Does this mean it's knackered?

Yes . .

Or the connection cable is damaged or slightly unplugged.

You can search on eBay and Amazon the product name and get a replacement screen and fitting kit for most laptops, tablets, phones. Its very simple and cost effective to replace a laptop screen.

Test with external screen (e.g. to verify its a screen fault - sounds like it.) Use your exact model number to view screen replacement videeos on youtube and to order the correct replacement .

this does not work on all laptops. hold the Control+Alt keys and press the down arrow and this should turn the screen 180, doea the problem follow the screen or does it stay put?

Hold Control+Alt keys and press the up arrow makes it normal again

It stays put, along the bottom covering the taskbar.

id you do he above, the screen often inverts, placing the task bar on top, but not all devices do this?

It turns what's on the screen upside down, but the taskbar is also upside down, so although it is now clear, it's upside down!!

I've partly solved the problem by right clicking the taskbar and then dragging it with the left to the top of the screen.
However, the taskbar is still also at the bottom, though partly obscured by the pink/green strip!
