So I picked up this Wallstreet parts bucket for a couple of dollars. It's obviously been dropped at one point while closed and hit on the corner of the display and optical drive sled. So far as I can tell, it seems to be cosmetic. I took it apart and all boards and ribbons appeared to be intact. In fact, most everything seems to work fine. So, the drop may be a red herring.

The problem is that the LCD screen shows a negative color image. Hooking up an external monitor shows the proper colors. The brightness control works and adjusts the LCD brightness.



So, I'm wondering if it's just a damaged LCD or ... ?
