Bottom part of the screen either freeze, turn black, or become fuzzy
Recently I have been having problems with the LCD screen. When I turn on my laptop the bottom 1/3 of the screen will either freeze the image, turn black, or become fuzzy and look like a crazy barcode. The mouse pointer disappears when moved into this zone. The top 2/3 of the screen always works fine. If I jiggle and bend the monitor the bottom 1/3 can be fixed, but the problem seems to be getting worse everyday. It’s a Dell Inspiron 6000.
Most likely this is the laptop LCD screen failure.
Just in case, you can try reconnecting the video cable on the motherboard or video card. Maybe it’s not making good contact with the connector. Make sure the video cable plugged correctly, all the way into the connector.
If reconnecting the cable doesn’t help and the bottom part of the screen still fails, you have a bad LCD screen. Replace the screen.

muhammad shareef,
I think you are correct. It’s either failed memory module or failed graphics card.
You can try removing memory modules one by one and test laptop with only one module installed.
If the laptop still beeps with either memory module installed, probably it’s bad graphics card. If the card integrated into the motherboard, the entire motherboard has to be replaced. In this case the laptop not worth fixing.
Yes, you can backup your files. I assume the hard drive still good.
Remove the hard drive and install it into an external USB enclosure. After that connect enclosure to another working PC and get your files.
Check out this post explaining how to backup files from laptop hard drive.
