anyone else find fixing laptop green screen more awkward than it should be?

I need to fix laptop green screen and the help pages haven't caught up with the new layout. A laptop that's out of warranty, in case that matters. Has anyone got a way that still works?

watch the screen as it boots. if the logo or the bios screen already has the green tint, that's before windows loads any driver - hardware, full stop. clean until the desktop shows up and then it goes green points back at the driver.

Before you change anything, plug in an external monitor. If the external picture is clean the fault is the panel or the ribbon cable behind the hinge, and no driver is going to fix that. Green on both means it's the graphics side. Second test is safe mode - clean in there points at the driver, and rolling it back tends to work better than updating. And if it only goes green during video or in the browser, turn off hardware acceleration in that app and it usually stops on the spot.
