when i start the laptop it has a blank white screen and it fades away and half the right screen is blue and half left screen is black (what it should be)

this happaned when one day i turned the computer on and then it frooze during start up and then i restarted by holding the turn off botton and then restarted and then it booted fine but i went to my account and then it frooze Lol so i hold the turn off button on for a few secs and it went off and now when i turn on the laptop back on it does the white screen thing

laptop : medion wim 2170

graphics card:can't remeber but will find out soon

LCD screen:unsure

OS:windows vista SP1 i think

this is not the main computer i use so i dont know much about it

i hope i can fix this since this laptop is out of warranty

if this happaned a few mouths before it would have been in warranty still Lol damm

plus the battary changer has died before but we got a new since it was under warranty

i will never buy from aldi again thats for sure!

That doesn't sound too promising really. Its doubtful you'll be able to fix it without replacing the display. It is possible that the connection is lose inside the notebook. Has this been moved into or out of a very cold or freezing area recently?

It is probably the inverter, not the display itself. Is the black side of the screen really non powered or is lighted up in black? If is not powered it means that one of the lights is gone as well. Or its power supply. Anyway, a technician must check it. I have no idea how this kind of service is priced in your area, so better ask first.

ok well hes a pic of it just to make sure we all know what it is and we sure its a hard ware problom(which 99% sure Lol) when i leave it on for about 30 secs and all the white stuff fades away and leaves half blue and half black screen

and yes it both sides are powered on so its not a light i guess

it appears to somes time to fade to half black and half blue but now its just fading to black most of the time

As I advised you before - take a walk to a repair center. After the machine is working again it would be nice to share with us the results.
