I just had a thin green vertical line show up on my laptop's screen.

I restarted / shutdown / checked for driver updates for the video card / refreshed the screen and nothing.:banghead::banghead::frustrated:

I am running dual monitors and the other one is fine.

Anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of it?
Or do you think my monitor is on it's way out?

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

( I Know this sounds weird ) If you "Bend" The monitor the green stripe will go away as you hold it.. it's really odd but if it makes any sense. take your monitor and like..pull foward on the left side and push back on the right side see if it goes away.

Put a piece of black electrical tape over your screen where the line appears and you won't see it anymore.

I did this on my old VCR where the time kept blinking the wrong time. Works like a charm.

Don't forget to shake your foot and kick your knee. You should also have the song "hokey poky playing in the background", that works best.

My kids laptop got one about a year ago and now its reproduced in to 3 or 4. A couple have got fatter. I'm sure there more to come. Expect that you'll get a least a year before the screen fails.

It could be a bad connection. Rip that sucker apart and find the ribbon cable from the screen and unplug it from the board then plug it back in and reassemble! If you can!

PS: don't forget to back up everything on it lest you poo the scrooch!

OR: Like many of us here would say to the home sign maker with a marks a lot. Have a professional do it!

By the way a black marks a lot and a ruler will hide that green line just fine!
