    Lines on my screen
    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.

    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
