Toshiba Laptop screen - goes tinted green when fully unfolded - any fix?
Hi,
A client of mine has a Toshiba Satellite A100-02M. They have the problem in that when they open out the screen fully it goes tinted green. E.g the black desktop goes green and a little bit distorted. I notice that when you unfold it and then pull it forward again, it sometimes recovers.
Also if you only unfold it a few inches then it is also fine.
If you flip the screen very far back then it is hard to stop the green screen effect.
Does any know of any ideas why this might be. Could it just be a loose connection that if opened and reinserted would be resolved.
The laptop is about 4 years old so don't want to spend too much money on it, but if repairable then worth while.
Thanks for any input

I have found a few points on the screen that if I press I seem to get better results. I've now managed to push it back quite far, put it forward a fraction holding it in a certain place and it goes to normal screen.

Thanks. In the end the client is living with it for the time being rather then trying to fix as laptop is oldish anyway.
