    I don't know if you could see it there but it has a bluish tint when at the BIOS(?) and somewhat yellowish/bluish tint when it boots.

    Just a little history, I had this laptop since 2009 and that thing happened around 2012. The tint went away for no apparent reason then I had this thing om storage since mid-2013 as I don't really game amymore. Resurrected it just for fun.

    I had internals cleaned up so i have no idea what's causing this.

    You should replace the LCD. Can do so if you want at LCDS4less.com
