My compaq presario c700 has a blurred monitor? what will i do?

Hook a external monitor to the video output on the back of the laptop, If the picture is nice and clear the laptop LCD screen is defective. To replace the display will be costly, Now! if both screens show the same problem it is the Video Graphics card that is part of the motherboard.

You may want to open it up and inspect the caps (bad caps with bulging tops) as shown in my pictures here:

Bad DC filter caps can cause alot of strange symptoms.

Please verify that you are running your PC video card with native resolution of this monitor, 1680x1050 @60Hz for best picture for this monitor.
Unless you may have problem inside the monitor or the video card itself, so try this monitor on another PC also.

Acer travel mate 340 I have a back light on the screen but no video I do get video when I use an external monitor

Your LCD screen may have gone bad. Those screens are replaceable. You may need the assistance of a person with technical experience to assist you in replacing the LCD screen. Make sure that you do not have settings on your laptop that send the video signal to an external source or you LCD screen exclusively. Check with Acer if you don't have a user manual. Manuals are available from ACER support. See the link below:

I hope that you have found this information helpful. If so, please leave positive feedback for me.

thank you,

Desktop distortion of a Picture

you have to make sure that the picture you want to use as a background has similar resolution to that you are using in your actual display. for example if you are using 800x600 resolution you should have a picture close to that so it doesnt look distorted.
