I have no clue what to put here...

« on: 2007-10-20, 06:34 »

I just started up my laptop and for some reason there's this small 1-2 pixel wide purple line going from top to bottom on my LCD screen.

Is this something I can fix or is it something I'm gonna have the manufacturer fix?

Knowing my luck/financial situation it is, thankfully it's just one thin line so far, and I can't see it when it's over bright stuff

Lines running vertically and/or horizontally across the entire screen indicate the screen is physically damaged.

No.  The rest of your components should be fine, but the screen must be completely replaced to fix the problem.

Cool, my other comp isn't as useable, and the laptop can wait till I can afford to have it's screen replaced.

If you have a VGA output on the laptop and you have an available monitor you can always hook it to another screen for the time being if needed.
