Inverted display colors

Question

I was using my Dell Inspiron I5160 to browse the web.  I went to a font website and the screen started flickering.  The next thing I know all the colors were inverted.  I tried hard booting the system, system restore, last known good configuration...you name it I've tried it.  I have no clue how to fix this problem.  When I open the Magnifier and check the 'invert colors' box, all the colors are fine.  Please help me...my eyes just can't take it anymore.  I really don't know what else to do.

it may be worthwhile uninstalling then reinstalling your video drivers.

I'll try that and see what happens...thank you!

if that doesn't work, try outputting the video to an external monitor to see if it's the same.

Wait...I don't know much about computers/laptops.  Where can I find the video driver to uninstall it???  I did, however, plug in an external moniter and the colors there are fine.  Please help!!!

If the system is under warranty, call Dell for a repair. If out of warranty, contact an LCD repair shop. The panel needs repair or replacement.

Not what I wanted to hear, but thanks!  This Dell is second hand so it looks like I'll have to take it to a shop.  Thanks for all the help!
