LCD Screen

michiiru — Thu, 19 May 2016 16:14:55 +0800

Hello there,

I'm posting here to inquire about LCD problems on my laptop. I'm using an Aspire 4752G laptop, which due to overheating issues I'd decided to disassemble and clean my laptop fan YESTERDAY* (sorry I forgot to mention it). It all worked well and my laptop was down to 40C average and my gaming fps went back to normal.

All is well through the night until this morning when I started my laptop, it was fine at first until the screen suddenly start flickering and even start becoming whiter and whiter until the whole screen becomes completely white.

I googled and suspected that maybe my LCD connector is loose so I disassembled my laptop again and check the connector. It was all fine, so I tried plugging HDMI cable to my TV (works as external monitor too) where the external screen works just fine.

While it is suspectible that my LCD connector might have been broken, my screen actually turns from white to purplish vertical lines as shown in the pictures.

So I'd like to ask if anyone knows what is actually happening.

Many thanks!

NOTE: I'm also posting a picture of my LCD connector so it'd be helpful if someone could comment on it if it looks broken to you. (if you observe one of the right-side gold plates, it does look like one of them is missing and hence it's black, but I'm not too sure if that's the reason why it's faulty)

And also if it's the LCD connector problem, why did the screen only turn white after one day of cleaning the laptop instead of immediately becoming faulty? I was still able to game last night before I went to bed.

Google Redirect?

Was struggling with this issue since yesterday. So the situation goes like this:

Whenever I tried Google-ing something or click on a Google site, the search engine would automatically redirect me to youdao.com. I've searched high and low for this issue and it seems to be a symptom or the Google Redirect Virus?

I tried numerous ways such as Avira and Malwarebytes scanning, but it didn't help. So I opted for the HijackThis log instead.

Could anyone help me solve this problem? Thank you very much (:

Here is my HijackThis log file:
