My Laptop Has Gone All Fuzzy

[silliemillie]

Was just surfing, as you do, when the screen on my laptop went all fuzzy and unreadable.

Does that mean its bu@@ered.?

Thanks for any help.

Please illustrate what you mean by 'Fuzzy'.

Is it colours which are not right, or picture appears out of focus.? Have you recently downloaded any software.? What make and model is your laptop.? etc. etc.

The more information the better.

Hans.

Thanks Hans,

It's a Dell Inspiron.

I can see letters, numbers, but they are repeated 100 fold, like the tv not being tuned in properly.

Hope that's of some help.

Have you tried turning it off and on ?

Is the screen completely 'unreadable' ? If Not, I suggest you first check to make sure your system is clear of any malware. Download and run a quick scan of the free version of Malwarebytes. Do Not select a trial of the Premium edition.

Please report back.

Thanks Hans,

The screen is completely unreadable so can't run anything.

Never mind, my son is coming over the weekend, I will get him to have a look.

Thanks fender, but that didn't work either, sob, sob

I had the same problem. Switch off. Move the lid up and down sharply a number of times and see if thsat helps. A tip from a disc co. Dirt in the system. It works for me Good luck

No, sadly nothing worked, thanks anyway, if son can't fix it at the weekend, will have to go lappy shopping.

Which Dell Inspiron is it? Is the screen garbled?
