Try another OS from a Live CD as a test.

No install required.

I'd google UBUNTU LIVECD as it's the one I use for the test.

Video Problem

Looks like the video chip is failing. When you use an external monitor, it must be a digital monitor. If you should use an analog unit attached via VGA, it might look OK even if the video is bad.

Hi jbmadriaga,
To confirm the LCD screen issue, we need to run LCD built in diagnostics. Please follow the below link which has instructions on how to run the LCD built in test.

Hi,

Thanks for replying back with the test results. Did you see pink or green color or distortion during the LCD built in test? I request you to please run the test again.

This time, simply go to F12 screen.

Select diagnostics & when it asks 'were color bars displayed'. Select NO.

This will start the LCD built in test; the test will pass only if you see different solid colors on the screen.

If you see any distorted video or bad quality video when the LCD built in test is running then we need to replace LCD.

Please check your system warranty details using this link.
