blksith0 Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 One day some white bars showed up on my Dell Inspiron N7110 laptop. Now I crowd-source my diagnosis. Symptoms: - white bars show up in BIOS/Diagnostics - they are not shown on external display nor screen captures - funny thing: they're not "covering" the screen, rather the screen is "split" at these areas (see video) - screen is actually being pushed off the side! Attempted: - reseating LCD cable at both ends - problem persists - praying https://i.ibb.co/xSkQzSg/screen1.jpg https://i.ibb.co/W0xxHQm/screen2.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 This fault is usually due to a poor connection made by the ribbon cable. Sometimes the fault will show as two vertical white lines. You can also get horizontal lines as well. Check the seating of the ribbon cable connectors between the display panel and the motherboard.

blksith0 Posted October 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 Replaced LCD ribbon cable. Problem persists. And I'm $12 short! Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coltpax Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Maybe someone touched the lap's screen not gracefully..... and it's only with your laptop...external displays will always look fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
