nicayotte Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Your screen is on its way out, goodluck replacing that, they are a bitch to do and expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.cOLt.45. Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 well i read that its probably a connection. I don't think it's the screen as it fixes when i move the screen around kinda...thanks for your responses and No it wasnt exposed to a magnet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinkyfisherman Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Yea man your LCD is going out, rather you have a line of pixels out. A magnet won’t fix it that only works for tube TVs and really that only works to mess it up. For a tube you have to degauss the tube. How old it is and if you have a service plan on it take it in. you might be bowned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolt in blue Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 When it's an entire line from top to bottom, it means the panel is dying. The cable goes through the hinge, so you can confirm by seeing if you can make the line appear and disappear by moving the display around without moving the hinge. If you can do that, it's the panel. Otherwise, a loose connection is possible and worth checking out.Is your computer still under warranty? My experience is that panels either go very quickly (probably defective) or take years of abuse before quitting. That's why I also get a long warranty on laptops (3-4 years, however long I think I'll have it) because I carry mine around and know that they don't last like I want them to.

TheScotsman Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 It's either a bad panel, or a broken ribbon cable. Panel likely if you have beat the crap out of it, flex cable if you open/close allot. In either case, it's going home to the mfgr to get fixed.
