Hi guys,
Apologies if this thread in the the wrong forum. I was wondering if anyone could help...
Firstly, view this please: YouTube - Toshiba Satellite Laptop Screen Problem - flickering
This is the long and short of it:
Looking for advice for my Toshiba Satelliete P100-188 Laptop with screen flickering and banding.
As you can see from the video - the main issue is the flickering band on the left side. Also, not so apparent in the video is the drop in colours, and distortion (looking like 16bit colours!)
I have tried:
- Using and external monitor - this works fine (so it's not the graphics card or motherboard).
- Swapping RAM sticks (made no difference)
- Unplugging/replugging and jiggling cables to the inverter (no difference)
- Unplugging/replugging and jiggling cables to the LCD (no difference)
- Changing reolutions (no difference)
- Changing refresh rates (no difference)
The issue is gradually getting worse and is now ever-present - changing patterns dependant on what is displayed on screen.
As I see it, 4 options remain:
1) Replace the inverter (I don't think it's this, due to the graphical flickering and corruption)
2) Replace the LCD cable - not sure if this would help....? (£15)
3) Replace the backlight - (I'm certain it's not this as it's graphical distortion)
4) Replace the monitor....? at around £100... Most probabale cause???
Any sound advice or educated guesses would be most appreciated. Thanks!
