It's not a software issue and not a ram issue. It's either flex cable, of some IC in video output cascade, or maybe some line on a pcb. And 99% that it's a cable, because it's always in motion so it breaks sooner or later. Search for a replacement, and if it's not too expensive - buy it and replace it. Or write exact model of output and I can try to help you searching.

I use my laptop as a desktop I leave always open the screen lid, few days ago I moved my laptop to another room, maybe it could have been damaged in the trasportation but I open and close it gently.
The connector should be the same of this you see on the forum post How do I remove this type of lcd cable? - Acer Aspire A515-51G
my laptop is acer aspire 5 A515-51G-51v7, I found few replacements on amazon they're not original but not easy to find original pieces and it is compatible with some models included my laptop.
At the moment I don't have the exact model of output, I closed everything and I had enough for today to re opening again.
I'm thinking about making an upgrade buying a bigger external monitor so I can hook the laptop to it, so I will be sure it will work.
Thanks anyway for help and tips.

I've enough for today I won't touch or open laptop for a while

I don't blame you, thats a pain in the ass...but wait, the laptop wouldn't boot on the original ram?

Maybe it overheated the new ram enough to damage that.

Try typing "Windows memory Diagnostic" into the search bar or open the run box (Windows Key + R) and run mdsched.exe

I'll see if I can find any other possible solutions, wanna PM me your model type again so I can see if its a common issue?

I found your next post :LOL:

It likely IS the wire or the connectors or board damage...but when you actually work on other peoples PCs, you learn to try to find the free or simple alternative first.

I've had my desktop screen flicker colors before it loaded when I bit by bit cloned my HDD to an SSD, and it was the ONLY problem that it caused.

I thought my GPU had issues and it was just the fact of different file organizations on the drive making my system act funky, installed windows fresh and everything was fine.

So even though its the most likely answer doesn't mean its actually the answer...regardless of locked in a box logical opinion.

EDIT:

All other shit aside, your PC should have booted off your built in memory, its worth checking (be ready for a wait though)

Everyone else seemed to ignore this little fact heh.

Found an interesting thread on this...someone fixed it by turning off the night light on their acer lmao.

It also reminded me of the easiest way to determine hardware or software, go into your BIOS next time you have the problem (usually F2..sometimes Del during boot for Acers) and if that screen has color issues, its a hardware issue, if not its a software issue.

I still suggest you check your memory as well...after you figure this out and if you intend to keep the laptop, its not urgent this second.

I tried to go the bios but still have colors issues.
I saw yt tutorial someone suggested to remove internal Cmos battery fo like 15 sec and then reseat it, in order to clear the Cmos. Haven't tried it yet but I don't wanna to open it again :eek: It is like 19 fkin screws to remove each time, plus remove hd so boring.

I searched for the cable, it seems there is no reason to order from china, it costs the same as on amazon, ebay, etc. Also, it's kinda more expensive than I hoped :(. I think it does not matter if the cable is not original, it's just connectors with wires, what could go wrong?
And yes, buying an external monitor is also the solution of course, if you can afford it and don't care much about portability of laptop.

On amazon there is the advantage I can have 30 days for return it if I don't like. The only thing it stops me in this moment to try is that I never changed it , inside the laptop there is few space to "move" and wires are like taped, I'm not a technic, I'm more into software things, but with hardware and electrics things if I don't have a video tutorial I won't go for it.

It's definitely harder to fix a laptop. Hell, even with a video I'd still struggle with fixing stuff :ROFLMAO: I guess it's either have someone fix it for you or just go with the external monitor route if you really need the laptop :(
