Toshiba P55W-B5224 with red stripped screen

[ainda32000]

Hi,

I've had this model for a year now and it has been working ok until this morning when I opened it and the screen had a red colour. Sometimes it displays some strips as well.

I restarted it but the problem is still there. After 10 minutes on, the colour changed from red to light green and after 10 minutes it looks normal again.

Everything else seems to be working fine. Should I worry about this? Is there something I can do so I don't have this problem in the future?

Thank you!

connect the laptop to an external monitor to see if it displays the same issue as the laptop screen does as I think it will which is not good.

Thanks for the reply, the laptop seems to be working fine until now and the screen is back to normal. Should I worry about this happening again in the future?

yes as it happened once it might happen again & maybe even worse.

So, could you suggest a solution or a test? Or should I take it to a tech?

the cause could be anything such as the screen, ram, videocontroller or video cable. as it is intermittent even a tech might have a problem finding the cause & fix it.
