Gif of symptoms here.
1.5 year old Aspire V5-591G started having a horizontal line of
gray pixels appearing near the top of the screen last Wednesday, at
where the address bar of my internet browser is in the gif. A second
line then appeared next to it, and sometimes a third one flashes in as
well.
On Friday, the part of the screen below the lines (so, like, 95% of the
screen basically) started ghosting like you see in the gif. Afterimages
whenever I scroll down, or whenever I move the mouse cursor, or whenever
there's an animation playing, basically any action happening onscreen.
Screen also periodically has a purple tinge slowly fade in, which then
disappears after half a minute to reset before the next cycle of fading
in. Ruins my eyes to use the laptop now.
If it matters, I mainly use the laptop at my desk and rarely move it
around. And I don't have a screensaver, if you're suspecting something
like a burn-in. The behavior is already present right at boot even
before starting Win10. Tried to investigate by connecting to an external
monitor, then a television set. Displayed fine on both. Also, my laptop
has the feature of having dual graphics cards (Intel HD Graphics 530
and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M), so went to device manager, disabled one
while enabling the other, problem persists. Switch to disabling the
other graphics card, still no dice. Partly opened the case to wiggle
cable out from screen and reseat it multiple times, didn't seem to help.
What other troubleshooting steps should I try? What is the offending
component? Much
thanks and Merry Christmas!
