I usually put my laptop [G9-591-70VM] in sleep mode after I'm done working on it for the day, but today this morning, when I started it up, it booted to this red screen and stayed that way.


Every time I press the 'enter' key, the screen would flicker.

I had to do a hard reset and the laptop booted up normally.

I want to know what would cause this issue and what solutions exist because chances are that it might happen again in the future.

    Hi,
    It could be a loose display cable or it's time to replace the panel, I would suggest you connect the laptop to an external display/TV with a HDMI cable and check if and when this happens again, if the display in the external monitor is fine, you may have to check the cable and replace it if needed, sometimes reseating the cable also might solve the problem.

    I did have an external display plugged in using a HDMI cable when the issue occurred, but it displayed nothing.
