I'm hoping the answer isn't 'buy a new laptop' because I simply can't afford it ( Read more... )

Hmm... that's different.

Have you dont anything like drop it? Anything hit it? If not, and you're still in warranty, you can send it back to the repair department of whoever made your computer.

Not dropped it, no...

It's a couple of years old now. I'll dig out all the literature that came with it, see what kind of warranty I got (I'm betting 12 months...)

Wow, the "ghostly image" used to happen to old monitors, which is the whole reason screensavers were invented (hence the name).

As for the swirly things, I have no idea. I've never seen that before.

Usually that kind of stuff happens when you wipe your screen too hard, or use some kind of alcohol solution to clean it and the plastic overlay on your screen gets damaged. Sometimes this can be the maker's fault because they have the screen on too tight, and it causes it to break down. If it's under warranty, send it back if you can.

To get it fixed would probably cost you just as much as a new laptop.

The image of my desktop appeared over night...

I've never used any kind of solution on my screen, and I either use a cotton pad to wipe my screen, or the duster attachment on my Dyson.

Also... the ghostly image is of Anderson or Jon... cuz it sure looks like one of them...

Now that's kinda creepy.
