Do u have access, can u use control panel etc?

 

[MORTY]

Turn it off. And then back on again.

 

[tedebear]

Thats done for! How odd that it goes when you did your upgrade...

Definately looks like a broken screen....turn it on and keep pressing the F8 key if the the screen appears with the service options you know it is a weird screen graphic thing if not screen is sh**ged...

Quite blatantly a crack in the LCD, trust me. This aint a software problem.

If, as it appears , it is just the LCD screen that is pooch screwed, you should be able to get a replacement if the laptop is worth it (cost me £200). If you want to get your data off you should be able to plug an external monitor in and use it that way.....

Did you take it in the bath with you?

 

[Falkor]

I don't see how its got cracked at all as it has not been dropped. I was playing football manager got a graphic error so posted it on the offical football manager website and they told me to download this graphic pack they gave me a link to it. I installed it and then went for a bath came back turned laptop on and its like that.

whats the make and model of the laptop?

 

[tedebear]

I've never had to download a graphic pack....how old is the laptop?

 

[dingodan]

While u were in the bath, someone snuck in and smashed up your screen. Thats my theory.

 

[Falkor]

Laptop is 7months old max its an asus not a great make but couldn't afford an expensive laptop.

It was something x graphic update. One of the offical people on the football manager website told me to download it. As a few people have had this error.

Makes no sense to me.

Mine went like that after I accidently shut a pen between the screen and the keyboard....

Accidental insurance paid up.....

Certainly looks cracked screen looking at the lines...

Do u have a dog who's tail might have hit the screen?

 

[Falkor]

I dunno mate i closed the laptop before i went for a bath. Maybe the wire got caught in it i dunno. Bloody gutted.

Might help

Broken Laptop Display - MajorGeeks Support Forums

I can't see a DirectX update being responsible for that - are you the only one in your house?

Yes mate. I did download some shirt packs for fm aswell but every one on the forum used the same thing.

The only thing i can think that happened is that when i shut the laptop the lead must have been caught in the screen. And its done that.

Repacement screens cost about £100.

Don't let anyone charge you £200 as above.
