My laptop's display is messed up. I get no video on right side of screen, while the entire laptop's display is squished onto the left side. Sometimes there is a black line about 3 inches to the left of the blank area and in between the two blank areas is a 3 inch area of replicated screen. Also the start bar is a little high and it repeats to the bottom (last two things are hard to explain, maybe i can screen shot it later.
It reads my laptop display as digital flat panel with max resolution of 1024 x 768 when it should be reading it as something closer to wxvga laptop display max res. 1280 x 800. I can get full 1920 x 1080 on my 24" monitor, so it seems to be specific to the laptop screen...which is weird because I've taken the laptop apart a few times to check the backlight and inverter, as well as numerous other maintenance related items like dusting, so it shouldnt be a hardware problem (also, the black right half is clearly backlit its just blank. I have used system restore and driver magician to try to get rid of the problem, and sometimes it works temporarily but any time i reboot the problem reappears. When the problem is present my graphics options are twin, dual, and extended display, when not present its just dual and extended. I never used to have this problem, and i never used to have the twin option. I've tried everything i can think of aside from reinstalling windows...even /basevideo booting to try to see if its a faulty intel driver...but even basevideo reverts to this problem sometimes. The problem appears at boot (even in bios) and after. Im really stuck here, and it takes a very tough problem for me to get stuck with computers...any ideas people?
