What is wrong with this screen?

[Batuhan Apatay]

This is an old Toshiba l505. I thought it was a bad flex cable but i guess it isn’t. I connected the pc to an external monitor and I had the same output. Does anyone know why?

Probably a failing GPU then to be honest.

[Hiya!]

yep thats the gpu failure

Not really, no.

 

If you really felt like it, you could find some way to de-solder the GPU from the mainboard and solder a working one on. That's incredibly high risk/low reward though, and is usually not worth doing.

Yeah I meant that. Not worth doing. This laptop is too old. Owner of this pc has already purchased a new one.

Yeah, that laptop is probably worth however much you'll get for it at a scrapyard at this point then.

 

Might as well pull the drive and memory out of it, those could be handy down the road at some point.
