Why is the screen going green and red?

Why does my Acer laptop sometimes have jumpy white lines going across the screen?

• I have an Acer Aspire 4530-6823... cost me $450. So sometimes when I startup the laptop or open it from sleep mode, there are these white lines that are flashing on the screen. At points, it has gotten so bad that the whole laptop screen is white. It's easily fixed by moving the laptop screen up and down. However, I noticed something else... whenever the screen is at a particular angle and the screen is white (while on a web page or when the lines are appearing), I found some fuzzy spots underneath... as if the laptop screen is worn out. My dilemma is that I have a one year warranty that is about to run out in a couple of days... I do not want to pay for shipping and insurance especially if Acer ask me to pay for it as if it was a result of wear and tear and not an original hardware problem. Does anyone know what the problem is with the laptop monitor? And what should I do? Should I send to Acer anyway (despite the fact that this poorly constructed product will problem incur other problems in a couple of months)? Is it easily fixed... I am going back to college in the fall so I'll ask the IT services to possibly work on it. Thanks!

• Answer:

  the LCD screen is damaged. to get rid of this problem you'll need a new screen replaced. contact them before you warranty runs out. possible causes are laptop being dropped. something banged hard against it etc its fixable but might cost u if acer wont cover it. alot of pc repair guys frohome run businesses would do this cheaper than Acer. give Acer a sob story, and tell them how much u love their product etc and they should fix it free of charge. same prob with my acer aspire one netbook.
