From your description, this is most likely a failed and hardware
defective LCD panel. If that is the case, there is no fix other than
replacement of the LCD panel (which will be VERY expensive if it's out
of warranty ... could cost almost as much as a new laptop). But it
sounds like you are still in the warranty period.
