    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).

    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)

    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.
