Black Onyx Screen

[ianktaylor]

Hi There! Is anyone experiencing a pink hue to their screen when initially switching on their Vaio? if so, is it normal and if not how can it be cured?

[Ash911]

Could be the pixels degrading prematurely or a problem with the voltage control to the screen, how old is the laptop?
Needs a new LCD to be honest.

Warranty claim claim claim quick as you can.

Laptop is now 16 months old and Vaio-Link have supposedly replaced a harness and inverter!!!!

'fraid it's common in some VAIOs like the GRX

Kee-lo,

Do you agree with Ash911 that it could be a pixel premature degrading problem or a voltage control problem???

To me it sounds like a problem with voltage control.

That could be down to a faulty LCD Inverter. You can have them repaired by The Techno-Mark if your VAIO is out of warranty.

Thanks James, but Vaio-Link say they have replaced the inverter.

I'm not sure if it's voltage

If its not the inverter, then it might be the LCD itself.

I would keep an eye on this, and ring consider a repair if the hue problem appears during a Windows session.
