Hi !
Has anyone had this issue?
Possibilities:
1. Screen
2. Cable pinched
3. Video card / chip
3. Inverter?
I really don't want to change every part so if someone has seen this "half-screen" issue
I'd really appreciate hearing about it.
Thanks[

Thx Compton I will try those two.
What brand Gaming Laptop is it? MSI?
If it was a driver, the mirror of the desktop would show a half screen as well. Looks to me like the backlight on one side of the screen has blown out, or it may be a bad inverter.
So what I would do, is check the input ribbon/cable that goes from the motherboard to the LCD panel...If you see damage replace the ribbon/cable...If you don't see any damage, replace the LCD panel. The new panel will include a built in inverter...
