Does the resolution of the replacement screen matter that much?

For example, my laptop(Presario V5303W) has a WXGA (1280×800) display and I found one option that is a WSXGA+ (1680×1050). Would that make much difference?

It depends. A new screen with higher resolution might require a new video cable. Will it work without replacing the cable? I don’t know. You’ll have to try.
If in doubt, go with the same resolution to be safe.

The thing is it was working fine till last month and now it is showing colours Like the one in your discussion “laptop-lcd-screen-turned-white”. But its not just white…….if am viewing my destop wallpaper which is blue in colour then the entire screen becomes in that blue colour.. If I am viewing a picture whichis in pink colour then the screen becomes entirely pink…. and i could not switch off and all the process comes to end..

I thought in to be virus problem and installed fresh OS formatting everything. But when i was loading OS from CD the same thing happened.

You’ll have to test your laptop with an external monitor and see if the same problem appears on the external screen.
Connect an external monitor to your laptop and turn it on. In Windows you can setup your laptop to output to both screens (Fn+F5 keys). Wait until laptop video fails and see what happens on the external monitor.
Let me know.

This problem occurs not in any pattern. Sometimes I am able to work for very long and suddenly it happens.But sometimes as soon as i enter the desktop this error occurs. Then again I have to switch off and On.

Please help me find wats the problem.

i have a gateway nv series theres probably a longer name but idk what it is but when i start it it seems normal but the screen starts white then fades to black on almost all the screen but the rest of the screen is outlined in a fading white around the sides and there is a piece of paper looking white shape in the midde. any thoughts on how to fix this or what the problem is?

I think this is LCD screen failure. Just in case test the laptop with an external monitor and confirm that external image is fine.
I think you’ll have to replace the screen.

I have an acer aspire 5742-7653, my screen starts white and then the image comes back to normal by itself ( no tapping, no pressing screen, no magic angles), I check the video cable connection, and i also tried using an external monitor and it works perfect, but i am not sure what is the problem, any suggestions will be accepted

Is it an intermittent problem or it always happens on the initial startup?
Let’s say the scree started working normally. What happens if you restart the laptop? Will it start with a white screen again or this time it works properly right from the startup?

I’m just trying to figure out if this failure somehow related to the temperature of the screen.

my problem is that, i have a toshiba laptop containing problem, that it starts for a while and after some time it give white screen.
sir please tell me what is the reason behind that problem

Could be loose connection, bad LCD screen or motherboard problem.
Try reseating the video cable connection on the LCD screen first. If it doesn’t work, try replacing the screen.
