It started about two months ago with one line. Currently I have 8 vertical lines in different colors running down the screen of my dell inspiron 9200 laptop. these are very thin line, maybe one pixel wide. Any ideas Anybody?

Hi

A quick google brought up this page: Fixing a Laptop Monitor

It seems to mention something about lines of dead or forced pixels, which I understand is your problem.

I can't access it from work as it is blocked. But I hope it is helpful.

Mr Koi

dead pixels. hopefully you got warranty on your bad boy

to be honest mate it sounds to me like either:

your screen is dying
or
maybe the cable connected to the internal graphics device is loose

try connecting a normal pc monitor through the D-sub connector on your laptop

if that works fine then i am afraid to say that your laptop/notebook's screen is on its way out

if in warranty just have dell replace it



if not try Ebay

I also have a line problem on my Toshiba laptop. I am now thinking that it is a virus or the graphics card. I have no reason to believe that my laptop should be having this problem. I now have three vertical lines. Started two months ago with one. Someone will figure this out
