Samsung NP300V5A - LCD panel issue

[tmcw]

I'm looking at one of these for a colleague at work, attached a photo of what the panel displays. The bottom quarter or so shows a pink hue.

I'm wondering if this is strictly a panel issue, not something to do with the motherboard/GPU ?

And what might have caused this, IYO? And is it fixable as is?

Is that the original display?
I've seen this before as a mismatch between the screen and the laptop.
e.g. an Asus display in a Dell laptop..

It does look like a bad panel, but check out the cable first, give it a wiggle and reseat both ends.

I forgot about this thread.

After a bit more dismantling, I found some sticky residue in the bottom right corner of the screen, it looked like there had been a spill of a sugary drink into it.

A new screen sorted it out.
