Well, last night, the laptop was fine no problems at all, i don't even play many games on it, only Skype, work, and browsing the internet, and i use one of those cooling pads. Today i woke up, and tried to turn my laptop on, like i always do, and the screen was grey and slowly goin green/yellow.

Things that i tried:

Start with the battery only

Start without the battery

Start with battery and cable

Removed the rams and tried to start it [black screen]

Removed HDD and tried to start it [Same grey screen]

Tried each ram, and tried new rams [Same grey screen]

Cleaned the fan

So, my question is, what could that be? I think that it's probably the graphics card, but im no expert. And what should i do? Buy a new one? Or send this to repair? I don't have warranty.

I don't have warranty, but since you said that its a screen problem, i asked my friend to bring his screen and we tried and it works. At least it's not the graphics card.

Is there anyway that i can repair it at home? Or should i just buy a cheap external monitor?

The LCD is probably fine, the Driver board on the back has probably faulted. You can't order them separate. This one is expensive, nothing used on eBay.

How to take it apart is right here.

I would suggest you look at disassemble and examine the connections first before ordering a new Screen assembly. This video should be real close to the one you have with only a few slight differences.

That's a little expensive for me right now. I will probably ask my friend his monitor since he doesnt use i. Thanks for your help! ;)
