First post and basically I'd like to cut to the chase. I own an Asus G50 that I bought at best buy over a year and a half ago. I love the machine, does everything I need. After a few accidental drops while in it's targus bag, my G50 developed some screen issues which no one has been able to give me a straight answer on.
Red lines and outlines on fonts appear from time to time and it drives me nuts. The only way to get rid of them is to wiggle the screen back and forth until they dissappear. Some days I can leave the laptop on for hours and it's perfect. On other days its the house of red.
I've taken my Asus to five different places and 3 out of 2 think it's my graphics card. They said that since the card is soldered to the motherboard it would cost me at least $600. to fix. Meanwhile, I've read on this site that the graphics card on my G50 is removable. I feel as though these shops are trying to rip me off. Two computer geek friends of mine think that it could just be a pinched wire or inexpensive part that just came loose.
I've take some photos. I'm hopeful that someone here can steer me in the right direction. Thanks in advanced.
Mike
