Im getting these color vertical lines across the screen (to the right). When I apply pressure it goes away but when I release, it comes back. It all started with one line and now there is ALOT! PLEASE, IF YOU KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS OR MAYBE HELP ME OUT AND TELL ME WHAT IS CAUSING THIS I would really appreciate your help! Thanks. |

New member Username: Nd4spd18Post Number: 9 Registered: Jul-06 | ^^ If it is a laptop then the screen is an LCD. Duh. As sean penn said, there is not much you can do to fix it, you will need to replace the display. If you are good with electronics you can buy a new display and install it yourself, otherwise take it to a PC repair shop. |

Anyway yeah, new LCD. Pop the laptop apart and get the part number off the LCD, google it, and order a new one. You're looking at 200-900 for a new LCD though 500 is the average. Check ebay if possible. |
