have a hp laptop with display that shows up bright, pale and very grainy lacking proper colour. it looks like with standard vga driver installed but worse quality, the laptop is unusable. the post screen and initial vista startup screen is fully legible as are any dos based progs.

the display on an external monitor is ok.

i suspect that it's the inverter but not 100% sure, anyone have any suggestion what it might be
