I have about 45 vertical colored lines on my HP zd8000 and spoke to the HP tech support. They said the video card is bad and to replace it would cost $389.00. What a rip off! It sounds like this is a huge problem with HP. I will not buy another product of theirs!

Yes I have a vertical line (red or purple) going right donw the center of my zd8000 screen. I thought maybe it was related to a heat situation. If I left the computer laying on somethin where the fans couldn't breat that well, but I'm not sure. Any ideas? I tried to download a fixer called Driver Detective but when it tried to install it said there was a problem with netfx.exe and wouldn't conplete the installation soI don't know whether that would work or not.

Apr 23, 2008 17:16:26 GMT I too have a HP Pavilian zd8000 which was custom ordered loaded with everything the same time as your purchase..I have it in a dry location, no sunlight and it is not opened and shut or moved..It has never been dropped and is cared for with kid gloves. Several days ago my computer developed in the same spot a white/blue line one third of the way from the left...then two days later over another three quarters of an inch a red line has developed. Considering this computer does not get over used, abused etc and is in like new condition I cannot believe this has happened. I too called and they immediately wanted me to ship it in...telling me cost would probably be from 200. to $600. This is obviously a design or assembly error and it will only happen again...I had just purchased a second HP laptop too...and now I regret totally this purchase.....I have referred so many people to HP...and have been a life long client...I am going to write to them and if I get no assistance I will make it a point to tell everyone I meet...as I assist seniors with computer help and write for the Miniature Horse World and have my own Art Studio, I cannot stand unfairness and dollars are not easy to come by today that they can be thrown away like this to support some CEO's bonus.....

GuruWhen plugged into an external monitor and you still see the lines, it is the video memory on your laptop.
If that being the case, and you change your shared memory to a lower value, it may correct the video problem (depending on memory address), but cause Windows to crash when that address is reached in a program before using Swap file.
Another option if you are real good with addressing you can lower the shared memory and exclude ranges to use- That would have both laptop and LCD working but not remedy the problem totally.

You may have to remove your lcd monitor and unplug and plug it in your laptop, firmly but everything should fit and dont force anything.
Unfortunately that will void your warranty.
