VPC-F13M8E/B screen problem

[tonyboy60]

Hi, could anyone please help me with a problem i have with my sony vaio laptop, i always just leave the laptop open on my table,but closed the lid the other day and when i opened the lid and booted up the screen colours were all wrong and looked wired? i tapped the back of the screen on the case and it went back to normal, this only happens when i close the lid,but once i tap the back of the screen on a reboot its fine, any ideas please? Thanks

Hi Tony,

This would seem to be a hardware/cabling problem with the screen. If possible try connecting an external monitor either via the VGA or HDMI port to confirm this.

I suggest that you raise a case with Support - assuming that you have managed to confirm that you are still within warranty (referring to your previous thread).

Hi Tony,

Contact one of Sony’s authorised repair centers - uncertain as to whether they will 'supply only' but worth trying.
