    Dell inspiron 9300 17" possible lcd and gpu problem.

    The dreaded Nvida chip. Reflow is a rather intensive fix I would recommend an expert to it carry out. I done this before, but without the right tools it is only a temporary fix. I guess knowing your options is good, but this is a last resort in my opinion.

    Dell inspiron 9300 17" possible lcd and gpu problem.

    From my experience, I would most likely bet on it being a GPU issue. I have pixel trash from time to time on my Dell XPS, which also shows up on an LCD monitor through the VGA port. Forgot to add that I did clean my laptop and put new thermal compound, and that seemed to help a bit.
