Half the screen on my laptop (Dell Studio 15) has completely broken. I accidentally sat on it over the weekend while the lid was down, now exactly half looks like this:
Now, the fact I sat on it makes me think it is a pressure issue, and I've damaged the screen. However, occasionally the left hand side of the screen (currently all white) will flicker back to normal - this suggests that it's sort of a connection problem doesn't it? Like I've pulled a wire connecting to different parts of the screen?
The middle part (black in the photo) changes colour occasionally too, sort of going back toward normal but with a hint of purple etc.
Also happens a lot when I move the the lid.
Now, I've found this - http://www.amazon.co.uk/INSPIRON-LA...NB1Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345537146&sr=8-1
But it doesn't seem to come with any of the connections.
As I have a suspicion it might be the connections and not the screen that is the issue, does anyone have any idea as to how I can test this?
Also I have read loads of reports about finding that replacement screens aren't compatible, any way I can check what exact screen model I need?
Thanks.
