I've a Dell XPS M1710 laptop which I've owned for 5 years. Recently I've noticed that the screen has become a little wonky, in that the pixels where discoloured and there were a few pixel spots coming up every now and again.
Then the other day I turned on the laptop and the windows screen came up but looked all funny, before it just went completely blank. Every time I turn it on since it does the same....windows screen comes up then blank.
It's gotten alot of use for the first 3 years of its life as it was my main computer that I used but the past 2 years its only been used a couple times a week at best.
My question's are:
1. Is this a big issue regarding getting it fixed?
2. Can it be fixed?
3. How much are we talking about roughly to have it fixed?
It cost me a couple of grand initially to buy this machine as I got it specked out to what I needed it for. But I don't use it as my main computer anymore so if its going to cost a few hundred €€ just to fix I'd rather just buy a basic level laptop with the money to have as a secondary machine....which i need as a monitor for poker tournaments when I run them.
Cheers.
