I have a Dell Inspiron 7500, about 3.5 years old? I think...anyhow...despite being slow, seems to do the trick for me. Plus, it is paid for, and I don't want to buy a new laptop.

My question- lately...maybe the last 30 days...the screen 'flickers'...normally it is a blue screen, but, it kind of 'shimmies' to purple...does this mean my monitor is going? If so, is there anything I can do? Anything that will prevent it from getting worse? If not, anyone want to donate to the "buy another laptop fund"? (just kidding)...
