Title: Screen woes Post by: Kajet 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? Title: Re: Screen woes Post by: Arnie on 2007-10-20, 13:09 Sounds like a duff /dying LCD to me.

Title: Re: Screen woes Post by: Kajet on 2007-10-20, 20:44 Well SPORK... will it damage the rest of my laptop if i keep using it for a while?
Title: Re: Screen woes Post by: Phoenix on 2007-10-21, 05:24 No. The rest of your components should be fine, but the screen must be completely replaced to fix the problem.
Title: Re: Screen woes Post by: Kajet on 2007-10-21, 05:49 Cool, my other comp isn't as useable, and the laptop can wait till I can afford to have it's screen replaced.
