T42 LCD going red

#1 Post by Antioch » Thu Aug 31, 2006 3:25 pm

Hi guys. I've had a T42 for almost 2 years now, it's been a great machine. However, I've recently noticed that the display has turned red. When I first turn on the LCD it has a reddish hue and as it warms up it slowly fades away to normal colors. However, at anything less than max. brightness the redness is constantly there.

It never had this problem when it was new.

It this just a sign of aging? I still have a year on my warranty and I'm considering contacting IBM to get the display swapped.

Thoughts? Comments? Opinions?
Past: T42, T60
Present: X61s, Y450
Future: X302?

If its still in warranty, get them to swap it out for you. LCD's should last much longer than that.

Probably the backlight. If it's under warranty get the lcd changed.
