Stripes or ripples on the laptop screen

When a breakdown occurs on a desktop PC, we understand that it can be disassembled and repaired. When it comes to a laptop, very few people know what to do, and the only seemingly available way out is a service center or a repair shop. However, before carrying the laptop to the master, it is necessary at least approximately to understand what is happening, and whether it is impossible to fix it yourself. If the computer is under warranty repair, it would certainly be better to take it to a service center.

There are breakdowns that you can diagnose yourself, for a number of specific signs. Quite often, laptop owners face such problems as stripes or ripples on the laptop screen. What to do in this case?

Let's name several types of breakdowns that can lead to ripples on the screen: failure of a video card, motherboard, breakdown of a matrix-laptop cable or the matrix itself. At home, you can only change the video card, if it is not built-in. In other cases, only a specialist will help to save the laptop, therefore, the only right decision is a service center. However, if you have a regular monitor at home, you can continue to diagnose the laptop with it. In case of malfunction of the matrix or cable, the monitor connected to the laptop monitor will have a normal image. If the video card is broken, then ripples and stripes will appear on the monitor. Confirmation of breakage of the cable or the matrix can be the following signs: changes in stripes or ripples when closing or opening the lid of the laptop, changes when pressing or other mechanical effects on the screen.

In most cases , when stripes or ripples appear on the laptop screen, it can be repaired at a service center. However, if you have the skills to repair electronic circuit boards, equipment, you can try to replace the cable yourself. However, remember that the service center will give you a guarantee that the laptop will work.
