Graphic Board trouble
02-17-2021 07:19 AM

The monitor appears divided into 4 parts with false colors. I assume the problem is the graphic board. Can it be convenient to repair the fault with official HP assistance?

This is almost certainly an indication of failing video hardware -- either the screen or the video chip or both.
You need to connect an external monitor to the laptop.
If the visual artifacts also appear on the monitor, then it is a failing video chip and since those are soldered to the motherboard, they are not replaceable.
If the visual artifacts do NOT appear on the monitor, then it is a failing laptop screen. While those can be replaced, the cost varies enormously by individual PC model.
We are not able, or permitted, to provide any repair estimates or equipment prices.
For this information, you would need to contact an HP Repair or Service Center.

Good Luck

Hi WAWood and many thanks for your advice. I did the test and the external monitor connected with an HDMI cable gives a perfect screen. So I assume it's the screen's fault. Would you recommend to replace it? Thanks again for the support.
