Hello members!

 

Greetings for the New Year 2018. :-)

 

Please refer to the enclosed depiction & help suggest further in the relevant context?

 

What might be causing this trouble with my HP AIO 18-1206in desktop PC? & how to go about its troubleshooting & resolution any further?

 

The patchy part is very much persistent all throughout even after logging into the Windows.

 

Inputs will be sincerely appreciated.

 

Thank you.

looks like a damaged touch screen from the screeny tbh.

 

grab a live linux distro and boot from that, if it does the same, its physical.

 

does it corrupt in the bios set up also? If not the gpu driver may have had an episode, try uninstalling driver and re-applying.

When did this start? Have you applied an update? Did you drop the screen?

 

EDIT: Or in today's world of touchscreens, maybe too much pressure was applied somewhere?

..since I tried to force open my AIO for this very last time! One of the screws had gone free (wasn't unlocking the rear panel) & probably that's how I screwed up this entire experience !?

That might just be the cause of the issue. If you have to force anything (anything from hardware to relationships) then there is an issue that should be handled with care. ;)

So what options are left for the revival or towards the recycling of core components such as - HDD, 8GB DDR III RAM, CD/DVD writer?

Can an equivalent Motherboard be made to fit within a regular CPU cabinet to then re-use the above peripherals?

If yes, I would be at advantage to choose my preferred Processor along with rest of the components !

Inputs are being awaited.....

Thanks.

Looks like a display crack in the picture (looking at the left side).

 

If you insist on rescuing the computer, maybe check here for a replacement display.

Otherwise, doesn't look like the parts are worth anything significant, so I'd just trash it or hand it over to a local electronics recycling depot.

Hello zhangm!

 

Thanks for the information on the above resource.

 

However, Iam not able to make sense out of the attached outcome ? Do I need to order as per 'Part Number' & hand over the machine to the Authorized Service Center?

 

What next please?

To sum up the below briefly: you're better off buying a new/used/refurbished computer.

 

If you were fixing this computer, you'd find someone to sell the part to you and replace it yourself, referencing the part number that you found. Given that you broke the display, it may be wise to find someone to do the repair for you.

 

I've had some time to look into the machine now. The part is, ostensibly, for sale:

 

http://sopriscomputerparts.com/laptop-replacement-parts/lcd/led-screens/parts/hp-18-5-anti-glare-w-led-200nits-n-ze-693499-007.html

 

This costs 160$. I'm giving the link above as an example, and not as an endorsement of that particular vendor. I know nothing about them.

 

A comparable computer on Ebay costs 100 - 200$. This means that replacing the display really isn't worth it, or would cost you money.

You're technically correct - you could find a box to fit this motherboard into. However, unlike standard size/layout motherboards, laptop boards (as well as this particular AIO machine) have non-standard shape, size, connectors, I/O, and mounting hardware. You would not be able to line up the I/O ports. You would not be able to mount the motherboard in a standard case using the mounting sockets in the case.

 

I'm not able to find any indication that this computer has a video-out ports, therefore getting a working display would continue to be an issue, even if you put the parts into a new chassis.

no mate, bin it and replace buddy. 

 

even a refurbed machine will outperform the kit in that AIO.

Thank you very much! 

 

I agree absolutely that the sabotage has come like blessing in disguise...& I would be better off buying a second-hand CPU cabinet of relatively better configuration.

 

I therefore put a close to this thread.

 

Best of luck choosing a new one mate, by all means post any you are considering and plenty here will advise if its worth the purchase.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with chat cost tracking and multi-agent chats by Paul Hill Microsoft has just launched Visual Studio Code 1.126, its latest weekly release. This time, the company has focused on letting you see the total cost of chat sessions to spot expensive conversations; enabling multiple chats per session that run side-by-side in one agent host Copilot session; and letting you browse new folders safely in restricted mode. We have now reached the stage where free AI in IDEs is coming to an end. To help you keep track of your costs, VS Code now lets you see the entire cost of a chat session, rather than just individual turns. This should give you more transparency about which sessions consume the most credits, so you can better manage your usage over time and spend less. For those of you using the Agents window, you know it is possible to run and manage multiple agent sessions at once. In this update, a Copilot session started from an agent host can hold several chats at once. Explaining how this feature works, Microsoft writes: Finally, from this update forward, Microsoft will remove the pop-up when opening an untrusted folder. When you open a new folder now, it will automatically open in Restricted Mode. You will see a banner that lets you manage the trust level of the folder. Microsoft has made this change so that it’s easier to start inspecting code without giving it trust right away. If you have VS Code, you can check for updates within the app now to get this new version. Otherwise, you can download it from the Visual Studio Code website.
    • Anthropic accuses Alibaba of using 25,000 fake accounts to copy Claude's capabilities by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic has accused Alibaba of using nearly 25,000 fraudulent accounts to extract capabilities from Claude on a huge scale. According to a report from Reuters, Anthropic told US lawmakers that operators linked to Alibaba and the company’s Qwen AI team generated 28.8 million exchanges with Claude between April 22 and June 5, 2026. That is a lot of Claude conversations, but Anthropic says this was not ordinary chatbot use. The company believes the accounts were part of a coordinated effort to collect answers that could help train or improve rival AI systems. The alleged campaign reportedly focused on some of Claude’s most valuable skills, including software development, multi-step reasoning, and agentic tasks. In practical terms, that means getting an AI model to plan and complete work across several stages rather than simply answering a single question. This is called 'distillation,' where AI companies use outputs from a larger model to train a smaller and cheaper one. The smaller model learns to imitate useful parts of the more capable system without needing the same amount of computing power. The distillation process isn't automatically suspicious, but the problem comes when one company gathers another provider's outputs without permission and at an industrial scale. Also, this does not mean Alibaba obtained Claude’s source code, model weights, or original training data. Instead, Anthropic claims the accounts repeatedly asked Claude carefully designed questions and collected the answers. Those answers could then be used as training material for another model. Anthropic has made similar accusations against DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax earlier this year. As Neowin previously reported, Anthropic said those three companies collectively generated more than 16 million Claude exchanges through roughly 24,000 accounts. Anthropic says the new campaign produced almost twice as many exchanges in a matter of weeks. Anthropic reportedly told lawmakers that the campaign could help Chinese AI developers approach the capabilities of its Mythos Preview model. Mythos is focused on advanced cybersecurity work, including finding and exploiting complex software vulnerabilities. via Reuters | Photo via DepositPhotos.com
