This is a deliberate cross-post concerning a presumed hardware problem.

This happened on turning on this laptop this morning, it's a Dell 
Inspiron 15RSE 7520:

The pattern is rather unusual.  In the past, nearly always I've seen 
video faults that concern one of the primary colours ...
   Dead red = cyan (turquoise) cast
   Dead green = magenta (purple) cast
   Dead blue = yellow cast
... but this patterning is rather different.

And it's not constant, but changes over time, for example it changed 
somewhat as I moved the mouse, and in fact for a while now it's gone 
altogether.  I suspect that temperature may have played a part in its 
appearance immediately on switching on and its subsequent disappearance 
as the PC warmed up, a loose connection possibly.

Or the screen or the video card is dying.

Does anyone recognise the rather unusual patterning and can be more 
specific in their diagnosis?
