I've mentioned this before in another thread and said I'd live with it but its becoming more noticable and I'm considering RMAing the laptop (international shipping
).
I what I can only describe as a fuzzy redness on certain shades of grey, red and purple. When the laptop's been off a while it's fine but the redness starts to creep across the screen from right to left when its been on a couple of hours, restarting doesnt help. It also doesnt show the redness on a CRT. I'll post a pic or two when I get my camera back tomorrow.
Problem is I've just started my two week break from college, and my 30 days will have expired by the end of it, is this covered by the 12 month warranty so I can wait until after my break? Or could I order a new 8890 and send this back for a refund when I get the new one (obviously I'd have to be guaranteed a refund for this)?
Anyone else had a similar problem, is this most likely to be the video card or the screen (I'm pretty sure its hardware, the problem is the same in both windows and linux)?
Thanks
