I'd try it on an external monitor. If it goes funny there then I'd suggest the video card in the laptop. If it's fine then I'd suspect the screen in the laptop.

Well, today the screen truely way garbled. And after letting it warm up for 15 minutes it still didn't clear up. I tried my usual flexing to see if that would help. nope. So I closed it, let it go into suspend mode and then opened it. The screen was crystal clear and stable.
Don't have any idea why that would happen. Its either:
faulty video chip
perhaps some milk got into screen connectors
faulty vista
No clue. Will have to now call in the HP repair man.

Yes, have an ancient Microsave with the same problem. Keep it just to check backward compatibility of progs. Ok if left in a warm office before turning on, otherwise lines all mixed up and blurred. Never spilt anything on it.
Not sure that milk would get into a screen as they are usually pretty well sealed except at bottom where the cables are or into the main PC boards as there will be an aluminium plate beneath the keyboard.

I've never had any problems like that with the laptops I've had.
I used to leave my permie ones in the boot sometimes and that was in freezing temperatures. They still worked ok though, the panel was just a bit sluggish until it warmed up. Permie laptops were a mixture of Toshibas and HPs. I wouldn't treat my own equipment like that obviously!
Sounds like yours is borked, time to call the helpline and try out the warranty. You might be ok, depends on how severe the milk spillage was

Laptop screen temperature issues
Recently I have been taking my laptop to the wife's office. When I open the laptop up there sometimes the screen is completely corrupted..flickering and colours all akimbo. I suspect that the screen is very temperature sensitive as after a few minutes it clears up. Also sometimes clears up if I flex the display a bit. Never did this until I started taking it to her office.
If I leave it in the porch on my return and then bring it in and start it up..same thing.
