Hi all, can anyone advise me on my prob please. I have a Dell Inspiron 1110 z11 mini laptop but as you can see from the pic it's not well! It looks like that after about 3 seconds of switching it on so I think it's the screen. There is no place to plug in a monitor so I cannot check it that way. Even if I try to get in the bios screen, it looks like that. I need to fix it quickly but don't have the cash to get a screen and a m/board so I need to make a good choice on the diagnosis. The motherboard has an integrated graphics chip which is why I may need a new board. I think it's the screen but any help or suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks

I was afraid you would say that, lol. Thanks for the reply. I guess I'm off shopping now
 
Yes had it a while. At least you all agrre with me on the screen, so thanks to all for the replies. Dell wanted £250 just to have a look!!! New screen is only £70 and I can fit it myself! lol. Thanks again all.

OUCH!! why not just by a new one. Screen may be only £70, but they are a bit tricky to fit.
 
They're dead easy to fit and rest of pc is ok so I think I'll go for the £70 option. Also I'm a Yorkshire man so the cheapest option is always the best option, lol

LOL hey not all Yorkshiremen have squeaky wallets. Half my family are from up that way. Well let us know how you got on then when its done.
 
I'll let you know how it goes. I'm from Leeds and EVERY wallet is squeaky here lol.
Thanks again for your help and input guys.
