Question Old laptop display has screwed-up colors and small blinking lines like an old TV ?

[mihnea32]

Hello, I have the following issues:

Old laptop has display problems: screwed-up color, and the display sometimes has small blinking lines like an old TV(a few pixels long). Sometimes you can see tracks after some borders or lines "coming down" horizontally, also like old TVs.

If i connect external monitor via serial cable everything looks fine.

Laptop: Gateway NE71B

display: LED 17.3", HD
CPU: AMD DUAL CORE E1-1200
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7310
RAM: 4GB
HDD: 500GB
DVD-RW
connectors: serial, dvi, usb

If you're not receiving the same issue on an external panel, then the issue is with the laptop's (display)panel, not the GPU in the laptop.

I know.....but what can I do? is it easy to fix? or I should change it?
