Hi all. I just picked up an Aspire One AOA 110 for real cheap because it has a problem with it's display. I was wondering what sort of insight or advice you could give me about this issue. First of all, the problem shows up from POST and BIOS onward, so it's apparently hardware related. Second, the external display looks fine (and runs nicely at it's native res of 1280x1024 btw) so the issue is most likely somewhere in the screen itself or it's connection. What happens is this: the screen seems to be having alot of trouble displaying a range of colors, usually in brighter areas of the display. Colors that should be in a gradient appear as a blotch of one uniform color, and the brightest whites are displayed as bright pink-purple. I noticed the problem go away once when the LCD was dimming to go into sleep mode, but manually dimming the display doesn't fix it. Probably because I'm only turning dowm the backlight. I plan on opening up the screen, once I pick up some small screw drivers and a parts holder, to see if there's some obvious defect or loose connection. Next step would be to buy a new screen and replace it. It would suck though if the problem wasn't in the screen after all and I ended up wasting money on the replacement. Does this sound like a likely candidate for a new LCD as a fix? It's a bit of a dilemma. For what I paid for it, I'd be satisfied using it with an external monitoe as an ultra low profile desktop. Maybe attach it to the back of a desktop monitor. I'd like to fix it up if I can though, but if the problem isn't the LCD than I will have wasted $50 on the replacement and doubled what I paid for the thing.
