Hi everyone,
last week, my notebook got repaired. The notebook wouldn't turn on and hp replaced the motherboard. Everything is fine now, except for what I just found out. The texts on google chrome become blue or violet. I did all kind of tests to check if something was wrong with my screen but everything seems ok so I dont know where the problem is.
Has anyone encountered this kind of issue?
kind regards,
Abdoullah

Did you make any software or hardware changes on your PC?
Does the display issue persist in BIOS?
Does this issue persist with different applications?
Have you tried checking with a different browser?
