@ Blink,

Hi there, I am having the same problem… I tried to do this but nothing happened. My laptop works on external screen but I can’t use it always like this. Is there any other issue that causes this to happen?

If the laptop works with the external monitor, most likely your motherboard still operates properly.
Your problem could be related to one of the following: failed LCD cable or failed LCD screen.
You said reseating the video cable didn’t help, so I assume it’s not connection related issue.
By the way, you should try reseating video cable connector on the back of the screen. Maybe it got loose.

Yep looks to be. External image fine. Just replaced video cable, same screen showing.

Looks like one of the pins on the connector to the motherboard is missing…if it’s supposed to be, OK. If not, may be where my issue lies…and yes, all I did was unplug it initially then on the re-plug and re-boot I got this.

I thought initially it was just bad Windows drivers…but that wouldn’t affect it in BIOS…I’ll give it a shot there, but otherwise it’s likely the shop for this.

Thanks!

Matt,

How about a funky color screen?

Getting green snow on the boot up and it’s all out of whack color-wise in Windows. Toshiba L305.

I’m guessing it’s the video cable going bad…which is weird because all I did was unplug it from the motherboard doing another repair! I’ve tried playing with the connection but can’t get it to show properly.

Did you test laptop with an external monitor? I assume the external image is fine?
Take a closer look at the connection between the video cable and motherboard.
Take a look inside the connector on the motherboard. I hope you didn’t bent pins inside the connector (happened to me before a few times).
Again, make sure the cable seated correctly. If the problem still there, I guess you should try replacing the video cable.
Maybe reconnecting the video cable killed it.
