my laptop has started playing up recently. only does it from a "cold start" when its not been used for about 12 hours.

it switches on and functions ok, and everything works in the background, but for the first 5-10 minutes the screen plays up with stripes of blue and pink untill its warmed up. after that it sort of fades to normal. i dont think its the screen at fault but could it be my graphics card?

any way to fix it?

it started after i left it out in my car one night over christmas

If you suspect moisture, same procedure as a phone but bigger.

Does it matter what angle the screen is at?

not that ive noticed. it sort of wipes down the screen after a while, faiding to normal. or it can be like it is in the second picture for a few minutes then change suddenly at the move of the cursor.. should i leave it on the radiator and see how it goes?

Push the screen as far back as possible see if it rights itself, maybe the connector running to the board.

Connector issue, as the laptop heats up the problem becomes less.

Easy job to reseat connector.
