Hi Deepsh
Welcome to the Community.
Could you please check if your system’s screen flickers at the Dell logo which appears as soon as you turn on your system?
You may also check your system by connecting an external monitor.
Also, please check your system’s screen by entering “Safe mode”. Please find below the steps to boot into “Safe Mode”.
• Please restart your system and keep tapping “F8” as soon as the Dell logo appears.
• Highlight “Safe mode” and press “Enter”.
Kindly reply back once you done the above mentioned steps.

Hey i have the same problem, my insipron is less than a year old as well and the screen has gone pink and green as well....everything else is working fine!
The screen flickering can be caused due to operating system issues or the LCD/video card failure. To isolate the same, restart your system and keep tapping “F2” key as soon as the Dell logo appears. The system will enter the BIOS (system setup). Check if the screen flickers in BIOS.
If the screen flickers in BIOS, run the diagnostics on your system:
If the screen is not flickering in BIOS, you may try the following steps:
If the above steps do not fix the issue, uninstall and re install the video driver:
Check if the issue is resolved or not. If the issue still persists, update the system BIOS:
Note: Make sure the ac adapter is connected and the battery is charged 10% or above to update the BIOS. Also, disconnect all the external peripherals before updating the BIOS.
Keep me posted with the results. Please reply if you have any questions.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Edryized,
What is the power light status? Do you hear anything when you turn on the system? Please connect an external monitor with your system and see if that works fine.
Note: Press <Fn> + <F1> to swicth the display to an external monitor. In case it does not work, you may press only <F1>.
Keep me posted. Please reply for any further questions.
Thanks and Regards,
