Severla months ago I acquired an old Compaq Armada laptop (Pentium II), Windows 95.

Recently I have been having problems with the display. It boots up with a gray/white haze over the desktop. I can see the blue background of the display underneath it (around the edges), but the vast majorty of the screen has this gray/white haze covering it. This makes it quite impossible to actually do anything.

I hooked it up to my desktop monitor and it displayed just fine, so I know it is something internally with the laptop.

Any advice on how to fix? Can it be fixed? Will upgrading to a more recent version of Windows help?

Thanks
