You don't have to buy a new system, jsut a monitor, and you can get a slick flatscreen one for a bit, or you can pick up old tube monitors at garage sales for cheep.

if your talking about "display" on monitor???\nyou may have a problem with your video card.\nPS...a bit more detail would be helpfull, "what sort of display problem"?

multiple things could be the problem, you'll have to do some troubleshooting.\n\nFirst I would check that the monitor is plugged in correctly and powered up. There is a plug, ususlly blue, plugged into the back of the tower and leading to the monitor. two manual screws hold it in place. untighten the screws to see 15 pins. make sure all pins are intact and not bent. plug it back in tighten screws, power on pc, give it a second and see if it works. if not... \nNext I would check the monitor on another computer or try another monitor on the first computer. If the monitor is not fried, its likely you have a video problem. \nIf its a video problem, you are going to need to get a video card. ask at your local computer store. buy, or borrow one from a friend for testing. you might want to open your tower first to see what kind you need.\nGet some canned air and a small screw driver. \nBefore you open the case check to see if you have onboard video or a video card. You can do this by seeing if the Video plug(vga 15 pin same as before) is located behind your I/O shield (where the printer port, mouse keyboard and usb ports are) which would mean its onboard. If it is in one of the long horizontal slots, its a card. \n\nunattach the VGA cable and Open the case. Its usally either a screw on the back and then sliding it off or a handle that you can use to pop it off.\nBefore touching anything make sure the power is off, but the computer is still plugged in and put a hand on the metel case to ground any static electricity in your body. esd can damage your mobo. \nplug your nose and close your eyes and blow out that dusty mess with the canned air.  \ninside is a mess of cables that can be scary but bare with me you are looking for a speciffic thing. you should see the power supply with all the multicolored cables running to the cd rom hard drive and other stuff. Then there is likely some IDE cables (flat ribbon cables connecting the motherboard to the hard drive and cdrom.) on the mother board there will be some slots (usually white) that correspond to the slots on the back of the tower. in these may be the video card, if so you have a PCI video card. If the card is plugged into a similar slot that is shorter, set back more, closer to the inside of the motherboard and probably brown or blue (also corresponds to a slot in the case usually the highest slot), it is AGP. If you have onboard video just see if you have an AGP port so you can get an agp video card. (note there is a new technology called PCI express but unlees you bought your computer in the last 6 months don't worry. ill assume you haven't otherwise you'd just use your warrenty)  \nso get yourself the correct video card (agp or pci agp is better).\nPull the old one out (unless you have onboard video) \nThe long piece of chrome metel attached to the video card is bent at the edge and there is a screw in the top. (or there is a clip over all your expansion cards) unscrew or take this loose. agp cards sometimes have a plastic clip on the back to keep them from popping out, unclip this.\npull strait up on the card, some force may be required but don't break it. handle all circuit cards by thier edges only as much as possible to avoid esd. \nUnpackage the new (or Known good) video card and insert it the same way you pulled the old one out. make sure that it is seated well. put the screw or clip back in place and close up the case. \nattach the cable to a known good monitor and power up.\n\nif this doesn't change anything, its likely that your motherboard is freid. if this is that case you will need to have a professional work on it for you or just buy a new pc.\ngood luck.

Hopefully your notebook is still under warranty. You'll probably need to get the screen replaced.\n\nAlthough... I suppose you could make sure you have the latest video drivers before sending it in.

some body might have changed you screens brightness, you might have to negotiate the confusing monitor setup menus. That might be impossible due to the whiteness so consult the screens manual or manufacturer to see if there is a key combination to return the screen to factory settings. If that dosn't work then you may have to consider buying a new screen but only after checking with your manufacturer (If its a fault with the screen design there could have been a recall which would mean they could fix it)

I would say you contact DELL, coz it could be a safety hazard issue here. They might even offer you a replacement in this case. Just try ur luck.

Just press any of the keys on the keyboard. Even then if ur monitor is not on , then check the power button of monitor.\nHope it will solve the problem

I had a similar problem. One of my friend advized me to go to MS dos and type scanreg /restore; I got 4 options. He asked me to select the 3rd or 4th. I did and then followed the on screen instructions. I then adjusted display setting color resolution to true color, and 600x480 to 800x600. It is working well now. Please dont ask me more. I am not a computer savvy.

Ok.. if it is a work computer, then you really need not worry. Contact your IT department and tell them your monitor is giving you trouble. They'll fix it for you.\n\nIt could also be that there is no problem with the monitor. \nProbably some magnetic disturbances around the monitor led it to be distorted.\n\nWhat you can do is, leave the monitor off. unplug it. for about 15 - 20 minutes. until cools down completely. \nThen turn it on. \nThen "Degauss" it\n\nIf you dont know how to degauss, then read further. \nGo through the "Menu settings" of the monitor. \n\neach monitor has different way to access the menu settings, so i dont know how to do it on yours because you did not mention any specs of your monitor.\n\nbrowse through the settings to find for something called "Degauss" and select it.\n\nThe monitor may flickr for a second and come back on .. .. \nIf that does not help.. then your monitor is DEAD. \n\nhope that helps.

My sister got an LCD monitor (not sure if it was TFT or what) and it had an image of her MSN permanently showing through the desktop wallpaper. SHe was on MSN a lot but only had the monitor for a month!\nI did not realize that LCDs could burn images like that. I am glad I still have my CRT right now.

Well years ago when monitors were as big as houses and as heavy as one (remember those?) I had one that did this. The power button went bad.\nKept using it for a couple more years with a wood screw in there keeping it on lol! It was one of the first 17" or something, that was pretty cool back then lol!\nSaw your question and this came to mind :0)\n\nThe link below is for the drivers that might help you, sounds like a hardware problem though......

try adjusting it manually on your monitor .....

Try the power settings on your computer. \n--or--\nif you have another pc, try connecting the monitor to that\n--or--\nupgrade your OS. ME is the worst OS by MS.

Try using this program.. It works with a LCD monitor, and a CRT monitor..I have been using it for a year now, and it works great..You can choose which type looks the best to your eyes..It is from microsoft..\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/tuner/Step1.aspx

forget that test, they always find some "faults" only to animate you buying a useless system tool. if the PC is working normally why should you change something?

Depends on the type of monitor you have - lets assume the old tube type monitor.  In that case, the entire monitor inside the shell is a big vaccuum tube with something called an electron gun in the back.  There is phosporous compounds on the back of the glass.   The electron gun fires a particle beam at the back of the glass starting at the top left and then move to the right.  WHen it gets to the right side, it goes back to the left and down a line (I won't got into interlacing - you can look that up).  This continues until the beam gets to the lower right corner and then it shuts off and goes back to the top left and starts all over.  \n\nSo, there is a constant beam going across your screen in that typewriter fashion - it happens many times per second (depends on the monitor - this is your refresh rate).  What happens when the beam hits the glass - well, the phosphorous glows.  For each little spot on the screen, there are three colors - red, blue, and green - that can be lit up by the particle beam.  The combination of colors gives you the screen.  The more spots you have that you can light up as a rgb unit, the better the resolution on your screen.\n\nHow is this electron gun moved?  Well, it doen't really move.  The  direction of the beam is altred by electromagnets aroudn the yolk of the glass tube (the yoke is the smaller part near the back).  power is applied to the magnets to control or bend the electorn beam.  These control magnets are controlled by the inputs from the video card from the main pc.\n\nSo, if you opened up an old tube TV or tube based (analog) monitor, you will find a big vaccuum tube wiht wires running around it and a circuit board or two.\n\nLCD and plasma work a bit differently.
