hey guys my 2 year old dell inspiron 15R turbo-7520 suddenly has display issues since 2 months,initially only 1 pixel wide horizontal line was flickering white and sometimes even working properly,now it has become 4 pixels wide which is still usable
my question is ,can i get this repaired or direct screen replacement
if so what are the costs and what should i look out for etc
this issue sometimes even causes 6 beeps on booting my laptop-display failure error or something but its still usable but im worried as it seems to be going worse now
pls post advice and experiences etc
ps-i live in Mumbai and my laptop is out of warranty

Change the screen yourself. It's DIY time.
