blue line thingy? huh?

Tar.Aldarion

problem is that for no reason the screen of my laptop has developed a lovely cyan line running down the length of the screen.it's approx. 1 cm in from the right and it is damn annoying.
Just wondering if thats easy to fix as i dont want to part with my lappy fo long :eek:
would it be a problem with the screen itself or what?because i din't see how that could have happened.it literall just appeared as i sat there looking at the screen.(as you do making sure it's fine).

I've a horizontal line running across my lappy screen, it's very annoying, anyone have any idea how to fix it? (Sorry if I'm hi-jacking your thread Tar)

Try booting up using knoppix and see if it appears. If not you know it's your graphics driver or windows finding a new fault to invest itself in.

PM me if you need a copy of Knoppix (no DSL, download cap, whatever)

if its still there in dos its a problom with ur screen .

if the laptop is old buy a new one as screens cost a lot

Tar.Aldarion

ye think i may have a three year guarantee....got some1 to go find me a laptop with the specs i wanted,must check that out....
just that i constantly need laptop for college work etc atm so i cant part with it....so its one of those-maybe ill try and fix it myself and blow it up times.....

Try and fix it yourself and you'll instantly invalidate the warranty.

Bring it back to the shop you bought it from and get them to fix it as pronto as possible.

hmm guess i could get em to fix it during the summer(when the problem will occur er yea) cos the shop happens to have an ocean in the way
guess i wont try myself thanks for the advise on that,might have fecked it up good .
