Greets!
This is likely more a hardware question but it's hard to ignore such
knowledgeable people at keyboard length.
My Acer Swift 3 running TDE (Trinity Desktop, a successor to
KDE3) for about three years, now on Debian 12, usually has a bright
and sharp (matte) screen.
A couple of days ago it starts up with a flurry, relatively dark
screen with streaks. After about 10 minutes hooked by HDMI to a
monitor for tv it becomes more distinct and brighter though not so
much as before, streaks are gone. (I think it may be getting darker.
The image on the tv is as bright and distinct as ever.)
I assume there's something wrong with the visual system. I'm not much
for repairs but given various circumstances it likely makes sense to
replace the machine, maybe fix it for fun and profit at my leisure.
Anyone know what the likely cause is? Suggestions?
