I accidentally dropped my 700M on the floor. At first it was working and then a piece of my screen starting greying out. After about a week about 3/4s of the screen was greyed out where I could not use it. The screen is not cracked, but there is obviously a component in the lcd (ink?) that is busted which is causing a blob of different colors to appear and then it goes grey. Do I have to replace the entire monitor which is about $500 or can I replace a component? It seems as if there must be an alternative measure that I can take.
I think along the lines like you. $500 dollars is a good chuck of money and alternatives would be my first choice. My suggestion is to check both ends of the cable harness the plugs into the screen and to the mother board. Make sure both ends are inserted properly.
Next thing is to test - power up the laptop and see if that made a difference. If not, it may be the screen or the motherboard. So test further by pluging in an external monitor to check to see you get a good picture/image. If so, then that means you need to replace the laptop screen. If you dont get a good picture/image, than that means your motherboard needs replacing.

You get nothing? Black? You didn't post the Make, Model of Laptop or the OS. Is the monitor broken? So here's a general idea. There is a ribbon cable that connects the monitor to the motherboard, it's on the back of the monitor. Google your Make, Model of laptop for a video on screen replacement. Check ALL graphics cables. How does it shut off the monitor when you open and close the lid? Some laptops have a tiny switch near the hinges. When the hinge is damaged, out of line, etc., it will not function properly. That's a good place to start. Take a look at this video tips: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Yi6GNFcP3w
1. What happened to the Phone before it acted strangely that way. (well if its accidentally dropped or splashed with water)
2. Try to change batteries or switching them with a working one. 3. If it works try to OBSERVE / If its showing lines or distortions on screen - then there must be a leak on the battery. Or the reserved module is busted and needs to be replaced Or its a battery short circuit.
You have look whether the cable is lose contact.some times this will make problems.but your screen showing like a funky lines, this is due to problem of the LCD screen.you have to make it correct by giving it to the service center.
Once a lcd screen is busted there is no other choice but to replace the lcd. You can always hook the laptop up to a monitor in the meantime and use that for your output.
I am sorry but this means that the screen might be busted. the impact might have damaged the luminous controller inside the screen. You might need to find a replacement for the screen if that is happening.
I had a similar case where the screen was gng very bright but this was due to a cabling fault of the screen.
did your monitor accidentally hit or pouring water that may caused this problem.
i am sure your problem is not in plug..
we can say if the monitor damage it is sensitive because the only way to fix this is to go and find technician to open it...
if you pour some water accidentally or over heat occur sure some parts of the monitor are busted sometimes it can fix but often i prefer to advice you to buy a new one....
Are you able to test this monitor on another pc?
This will allow us to eliminate or identify as problem with the graphics card.
With the monitor itself, these lines could indicate screen damage - has the screen been dropped or accidentally hit with a pen etc.. ?
