i've had my laptop for about three years now and have had no major problems with it. reccently when i startup my computer after about a second the screen gets about 3 shades brighter (and i already have it set to max when it comes to brightness) then i notice everything has become rather...well i can see pixels..lots of them. especially when watching videos and in certain images. this has never happened before and now it won't stop. it's really ugly and very noticable and i'd like to know what the problem is, is there a way to fix it or do i have to buy i new laptop?

I doubt you will have to buy a new laptop. Check your screen properties and makesure someone didn't set them back to a lower resolution causing it to look more pixely. If thats the same you can look into a application that checks your screens balance, colours, dead pixels and so on. I would think that the problem is dead pixels so you can check for them here: http://www.laptopshowcase.co.uk/downloads.php?id=1

If you did not change any screen options then there's only one thing wrong. Your pixels are pixelating and here is no way to fixthis. This is very common in lcd laptop screens. If you have an extended warranty I'm sure that it will be covered becauseit is a very common problem with laptop screens over 3-5 year old screens.There is no way to fix your screen your warranty will replace your screen or if you don't have a warranty it will cost between $200-$350.

Hi. Left click on your desktop and select 'Properties'. Check the screen size under settings and try changing them. Click "Apply", not "OK" so if something goes wrong the system will revert back in 15 seconds. If you find a setting that works then click "OK".

Hard to say - but I can guess as good as anyone -- most likely - is that the video card is failing. Problems like this need to be examined by someone (hands on) who can properly check it out determin if it can be fixed.
