My alienware 17 laptop (brought from ebay as manifacture refurbished, about 2 weeks ago) screen does not seem to be working, i was reading an article online, when the screen suddenlly went black (backlights still on though). I tried to connect a hdmi cable in (from another monitor) and it works perfectly on the other monitor, I made sure the settings is set to duplicate.
After that i restarted the computer, no display, you can hear the login sounds and everything, and it still shows up on the other monitor, but nothing on the laptop screen. I tried to shine a light on to the screen to see if i can see anything then, no luck there either. but then, the intresting thing is that when the screen is displaying something that is at least about 90% white, the laptop screen lights up! But the display still seem to have a few pixels displaying the wrong color.
Any idea how to fix it? or do I have to take it back to alienware?
BTW I still have the warranty.]
Thanks!
Update: I realized that grey works too, but not black. trying other colors now
