Let's consider problems with the image on the laptop screen, which are manifested in the form of: horizontal or vertical stripes, white screen, image ripples on the screen, artifacts on the laptop screen. There are a lot of reasons for such defects, so let's go through the most common ones.

Vertical stripes on laptop screen

Typically, the cause of this malfunction is a partial detachment of laptop matrix decoders. In this case, the screen (matrix) cannot be repaired, because it is possible to restore the contacts of the matrix decoders only at the factory. The detachment of decoders may occur due to mechanical damage or manufacturing defects.

In this case, the matrix backlight has failed. More precisely, it is still functional, but in the near future the screen backlight will disappear in the laptop. The laptop matrix backlight lamp, like any other light bulb, has its own specific service life and burns out when it is exhausted. Troubleshooting options: replacement of the backlight; replacement of the matrix if the screen is not collapsible (very rare).

Ripple or noise on laptop screen

In this situation, first of all, you need to try to connect an external screen to the laptop. If there is noise or ripples on it, just like on the laptop matrix, then the problem is with the video card. Otherwise, if you connect a monitor to a laptop and see a perfect image, you either have one of the cable wires torn (from the screen to the laptop motherboard), or there is a problem in the laptop matrix decoders. Troubleshooting options: replacement of the video chip, restoration or replacement of the cable, replacement of the screen (depending on the malfunction).

There is an image, but only on half the screen

If on the laptop screen the image is only on the left or right, and on the opposite side there is just a white screen, then your laptop matrix is ​​definitely faulty, namely the problem with the screen (matrix) decoders. Troubleshooting options: replacing the matrix (screen) of a laptop.

Colored stripes on the screen

On the external screen, everything is OK, but on the matrix of the laptop there are multi-colored stripes. If you move, turn the lid of the laptop, the image appears, but after a couple of seconds the image becomes blurry. Also, in very rare cases, such signs may indicate a malfunction of the matrix cable. The matrix of the laptop is faulty. Troubleshooting options: laptop matrix replacement or replacement (loop repair).

• Sergey

  Hello. A month ago, I replaced the mattress on a laptop, but when I close it, the screen starts to turn red, the same situation happens when I open the laptop lid. What could be causing this problem?

• Yulka

  Hello. After the laptop is fully loaded, the monitor becomes with a red tint. If you turn on sleep mode, then exit it, then all colors are displayed normally. I rolled back the video card drivers to the old version - colors were also displayed normally, but the laptop slows down. And with new drivers red. Interestingly, during boot and during shutdown, the colors become normal.

Good afternoon, dear blog readers! Remember the good old days when the CRT TV screen suddenly changed color? The hand itself reached for the slipper, just like when hunting a cockroach. But the same fate can befall even a modern monitor. Once I was asked to figure out why the color of the computer screen turned green. A very simple and quick diagnosis followed.

For a quick diagnosis, I needed:

• extra VGA cable
• a laptop

First, it was necessary to disassemble the existing circuit - monitor + VGA cable + old desktop computer. When parsing, it turned out that the VGA cable is not simple, bought for three kopecks in the transition, but with gold-plated contacts! Then a laptop was connected to the monitor, first through a VGA cable with gold-plated contacts, then through the cable that I brought. Which was without bells and whistles. The result was not long in coming, but ... first things first. What potential reasons could there be for an unexpected change in the color of the monitor screen? Why is the screen color now green?

• computer video card problem
• monitor problem
• a problem with the cable, for example, there was a break or break in its wires
• color settings problem

Let us briefly analyze these hypotheses in order.

Video card problem

A malfunction in the graphics chip, for example, its partial failure, is the main reason that the output video card "paints" the monitor screen in a certain color. The blade of the GPU can be cured at home by heating it with a special hair dryer. But to be honest, I haven't tried it yet.

If you have a discrete graphics card in your computer, then it must be inspected for swollen capacitors or other burnt parts. Swollen conders can be replaced if desired.

Overheating of the video card can lead to the described result. To begin with, it is worth checking the temperature of the video card with the well-known GPU-Z program so as not to gut what is securely fastened with adhesive tape and works in vain. We should not see numbers over 90 degrees in the GPU Temperature field. Once I saw the temperature of the processor around 100 degrees, and it continued to grow rapidly. I had to hard cut down the computer from the network, otherwise it was threatened with self-digestion.

If it turns out that the temperature of the vidyuhi is really off scale, then it's time to clean inside the computer with a vacuum cleaner or compressor, then, if necessary, check the performance of the cooler on the vidyuhi and replace the thermal paste under it.

You can also damage the connector on the video card, especially if you pull the cable without sparing. This can be checked by slightly shaking the connector itself. If it does not stand still like a glove, then this may well be the reason for staining the monitor screen in a certain color.

The video card connector on the motherboard could “solder out” in the process of life. If something happens on the monitor with a slight shaking of the video card in the motherboard connector - the screen shade changes, artifacts appear or disappear - then all this clearly indicates a problem with the connector on the motherboard. It is treated by soldering it. Or sending the motherboard to a service center.

Finally, the video card drivers could fly. Let this be the last thing to check if we have a suspicion of a hardware problem, but we must keep this option in mind. Download the latest drivers from the graphics card manufacturer's website and install them. Hope it doesn't fall out for you!

Problems in the monitor itself

The color of the screen could turn green or otherwise due to a malfunction of the monitor itself. If the LCD monitor screen turns warm, then the backlights are likely to go out. The only solution is to replace the burned-out lamp with a new one.

But still, the matrix, not the backlight, is responsible for the color, so its malfunction leads to incorrect color rendering of the monitor. In particular, the screen can be painted in a certain color. Only its replacement will help here.

Of the relatively light options - damage to the matrix cable. It is quite possible to replace it with another one. Finding out what still gives a reddish tint to the screen - a cable or a backlight - is easy, just remove the cable from the matrix that goes to it and turn on the monitor. If the backlight is to blame for everything, then the illuminated screen will remain reddish.

It is also possible that the control board is defective. Just as in the case of a video card, a processor failure can occur on the monitor's control board. In principle, it is also a treatable disease by the same heating.

Cable problem

If the serial change of VGA cables did not lead to a noticeable improvement in image quality, then it would not have been possible to identify the culprit so quickly. The problem was that there was not enough space for the monitor on the table, and the cable was done like this:

The rich inner world of the cable could not stand it and burst.

There is one adequate solution here - replacing the cable, and don't do it again!

Problem with software color settings

If there is no reason to suspect a video card or anything else in a hardware malfunction, then it makes sense for the monitor to reset the color settings to default. It could well be someone's playful hands to delve into the screen settings. Of course, everything will be somehow different for your monitor, but I will show the very idea of ​​how you can distort all the colors on the screen. Here is a slightly "kolkhoz" image:

It is clear that here you can creatively approach the issue of monitor color reproduction. Having chosen the wrong color scheme, you can then try to look for swollen capacitors on the vidyuhi for a long time.

Or, for example, calibrate colors using the Windows Control Panel. You can ruin everything there too! To verify this, you can go to Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Display, then click on the "Color Calibration" link.

The following Calibration Wizard window will appear:

If we compare the last two screenshots, then the difference is visible to the naked eye at least in the white areas of the window.

Also, do not forget that video card manufacturers supply their drivers with various control panels for them, for example, the "Intel HD Graphics Control Panel". Here you can apply different profiles as color scheme settings. The profile can be customized in the "Display" section of this program.

So many alluring sliders!

Conclusion

This diagnostic option using an additional replacement cable and a laptop allows you to quickly reject unnecessary hypotheses.

First, we replace everything - both the cable and the computer with a laptop. If now the monitor shows normally, then everything is fine with it. Now we connect the laptop to the monitor using the old cable. If everything is fine now, then it was in the computer's video card or driver settings. If the image is again the wrong colors - it's in the cable. However, if no replacements have helped, you should pay attention to the monitor itself, its color settings and its video connector.

Of course, after the initial sorting of the causes, a deeper diagnosis should follow, identifying real problems and describing their solutions. Those. not “something with the monitor”, but for example, the wrong color scheme was selected in the monitor settings, which was replaced with a more suitable one.

Unfortunately, sooner or later, all equipment and electronics fail. It happens to everyone, so don't worry if one day you open your laptop and find laptop problems - (for example, a red screen). Namely, about this unpleasant situation, when the screen is filled with red, we will talk today. This situation is quite common, it happens with different models of laptops, which is well known to repair specialists and all employees of service centers. They call it the "red screen of death" and it is known as a signal to boot the computer in emergency mode.

When you turn on the laptop, the red screen - what are the causes of the malfunction?

There may be several reasons for the appearance of a red (or pink) screen - some are buried in the software and talk about the incorrect operation of the “brains” of the laptop, while others indicate mechanical problems and require hardware repair. To figure out which of the reasons led to the appearance of a red screen in your case, you need to observe the progress of loading and operating the laptop.

When red screen appears when laptop is turned on, but it loads and continues to work without distortion on the screen, this indicates critical errors that have occurred in the system. This happens with Windows Vista (Windows Longhorn) - the error signal in the beta version of this OS was displayed on a red background. In the common version of Windows 98, a red screen also loaded and indicated the presence of critical errors.

Red screen and hardware problems

If, in case of problems with the operating system, the red screen indicates emergency operation, but the computer boots and works, then in case of problems with the matrix or video card, after the system boots, red stripes remain on the screen, and the image or video itself is often blurry. This happens when the monitor cable frays or leaves, the video card burns, or malfunctions appear in the matrix itself. Often, the video adapter and the VGA cable also suffer. In any of the above cases, you must contact the service center for repair.

You can make the simplest fault diagnosis yourself - open and close the laptop lid a couple of times, while observing the changes on the screen. Do you see that the color of the screen changes when burrowing and opening? Most likely the VGA cable is damaged. But if you found red screen when turning on laptop, which by itself begins to change color, then we can assume that it is the video chip that will be faulty.

The laptop boots as usual, but the colors are heavily distorted - everything loads in red, a strange flickering of the screen appears. Are there spots, streaks or ripples on the screen? Try connecting an external monitor. If the image on it is correct, then the screen backlight is probably out of order. The problem can also be solved by contacting the service center.

Features of repairing a laptop in a service center

When looking for a repair specialist, remember that if you have a warranty card and terms of warranty repair, you can repair your laptop for free. But this can be done only if there is no mechanical damage on the laptop, all factory seals are intact, there are no traces of external interference.

As a rule, problems that are associated with red coloring of the screen are resolved fairly quickly at the service center. If the matrix plume has departed, then in the repair shop they will simply put it in place and fix it. This repair will not require much time.

The same can be said about problems with the OS. If necessary, specialists will reinstall your operating system or fix the errors that have arisen - the red screen will no longer appear when the laptop is booted, as the system will resume correct operation. All your data and files will remain safe and sound on your computer.

If you need to make a larger repair - repair the backlight, change the matrix or video card, it will take more time. Be prepared to wait for a supply of replacement parts from the laptop manufacturer.
