Hi @SS90901322311,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If your laptop display is fading from the corners, this can be caused by several potential issues related to the display or its connections. Here’s a step-by-step guide to troubleshoot and address this problem:

1. Check for External Display Issues

1. Connect to an External Monitor:
   • Connect your laptop to an external monitor or TV using an HDMI, VGA, or DisplayPort cable.
   • If the display on the external monitor is normal, the issue is likely with the laptop’s internal display.

2. Inspect Display Settings

Adjust Brightness and Color Settings:

• Go to Settings > System > Display on Windows or System Preferences > Displays on macOS.
• Adjust the brightness and color settings to see if it makes any difference.

Update Display Drivers:

• On Windows, go to Device Manager, expand Display adapters, right-click your graphics driver, and select Update driver.
• On macOS, ensure you are running the latest macOS version, which includes display driver updates.

3. Check for Physical Damage

Inspect the Screen:

• Check the screen for any visible cracks or damage, particularly around the fading areas.
• Gently press around the edges of the screen to see if the fading changes, which might indicate a loose connection.

Inspect the Laptop Hinges:

• Ensure that the laptop hinges are not damaged, as they can affect the screen’s connection.

4. Perform a Hard Reset

Turn Off and Disconnect:

• Power off your laptop and disconnect it from any power source.
• Remove the battery if it is removable.

Perform a Hard Reset:

• Hold down the power button for 15-30 seconds to discharge any residual power.
• Reconnect the battery and power source, then turn on the laptop to see if the issue persists.

5. Check Display Cable Connections

1. Inspect Internal Connections:
   • If you are comfortable opening the laptop, check the internal display cable connections. Loose or damaged cables can cause display issues.
   • Refer to your laptop’s service manual or manufacturer’s website for instructions on accessing and inspecting the display cable.

6. Run Built-in Diagnostics

Run Hardware Diagnostics:

• Many laptops have built-in diagnostic tools to check hardware issues. Access these tools through the BIOS/UEFI settings or a dedicated diagnostic application.
• On Windows, you can use Windows Memory Diagnostic and Check Disk utilities.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
