I use a Dell Inspiron 1300 Laptop. And I woke up one morning to discover that the screen is suddenly blur. I have checked the module myself and its still the same. What do you think is wrong.

Check graphics card drivers, by using a linux live cd. Also could you say what OS your using. That will only work if it is a software problem. If it is hardware take it to a repair shop, they would be able to help much more.

That's a good idea. I use Linux Live CDs to troubleshoot machines all the time. I really think his problem is hardware related, but using the CD will verify if that's true.

It sounds like either a bad video card or a bad connection to your screen. Try attaching an external monitor to see if the display looks ok. If it does, then the problem is the connection to your screen. In laptops it's not uncommon for the hinges to wear down and the screen connection to get worse.

Hello, Yeah it sounds like you may need a new video cable or the light bulb in the lcd screen might be going bad but i would need more info to help diagnose the promblem, but you can refer to your laptop manual for replacement and repairs. Happy Holidays
