This just started a couple of days ago. When I power up the system the screen is normal, then after about 30 seconds a light blue vertical line appears. It's about 2" inset from the left side of the screen, less than 1/32" in width, and runs top to bottom of the screen.
Does anybody know what this is, or how to correct it? I've have had this laptop for a couple of years, and it operates just fine, except for the annoying blue line. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks for responding so quickly. I was offline over the weekend, so I didn't see your response until this morning.
Your suggestion that worked the best was to change the background color. When I got into the light aqua range (blue/green), the line would soften or dissapear, with the exception of where it runs through the start bar at the bottom of the screen.
Even though I still have the aqua/blue vertical line, your suggestions were good ones, and they worked to varing degrees.
I wanted to let you know that I really appreciate you taking the time to help me with this problem. It may be an precursor to an internal problem, or just one of those little gremlins I'll have to hunt down. Once again Thank You for all your help.

My Toshiba Satellite also had a faint blue-like vertical strip about 2-3 inches wide that ultimately changed into an all-white strip where nothing can be viewed. I am thinking that it needs a new screen but that's probably not cost-effective. Any ideas as to a solution?

It is sounding like when the laptop is turned on and heats up a bit, the line appears? Sounds like one of the panels is going bad or atleast has developed a problem.
below are some tricks you can try to lessen the annoyance of the line.
Dual-Scan STN displays are composed of 2 panels behind a single protective
panel or screen. Because you are looking through the protective screen the
display appears to be one large panel even though it is not. There is
a physical separation line (gap) at the point where the two panels meet.
When the computer is on and being viewed it is not unusual to see the
visible separation line with the Dual-Scan STN displays. The line, actually
the fine gap between the display panels, appears because the color and light
pixels cannot run along the very outside edges of the panels. This line
(gap) between the panels can be seen as a fine gray line and is most
noticeable when viewing on a screen with a white or light background.
Note the line may not be as noticeable when the screen is displaying certain
colors or darker backgrounds.
SUGGESTIONS:
It is not possible to completely eliminate the line but there are some
things you can try to reduce it's visibility.
1) Lower the display brightness/contrast. The brighter the backlight the
more noticeable the line.
2) Use Wallpapers and Screen savers that use darker colors.
3) In the Control Panel/Display applet under appearance try different
combinations of color schemes for your Window and Background choice
Let me know what happens.
Good Luck,
Tim

Horizontal scan output fault. Check the connections to the deflection yoke from the main board. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. Surf the site with patience. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/
It looks like you've got two issues. If you tried a different monitor and it too have vertical blue lines your video card might be bad, but hold that thought. I'm thinking you need to reload the operating system because you can't boot all the way up which is the second issue.
Have you tried to boot up in Safe Mode and do a System Restore? Turn the computer off, then turn it back on and immediately start hitting the F8 key repeatedly until you see SAFE MODE. Select the Safe Mode option. When it boots, if it boots successfully things will look different in Safe Mode. The screen will be darker and icons bigger, but that's normal. If you get into the desktop successfully, click Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore. Select a restore point (date and time) that is before you started having problems. If the system tells you that you have no restore points, then you will have to either Reload the Operating System or do a System Recovery. By the way, System Restore does not lose your data, documents, music, pictures, videos, or programs unless the program was installed after the restore date. System Recovery LOSES EVERYTHING, it sets your system back to when you first purchased it.
Since it sounds like an issue with the Power first try to release flea power.Disconnect the charger,remove battery,press and hold down the power button for 30 seconds.Reconnect the battery and charger.Turn on system and check if it turns on. For further help please check Dell Inspiron 1525 Manual. Also confirm if the light on the charger stays on,when connected to the system.
the set having blue scteen when the nosignal condition so blue horizontal line due to failure in vertical deflection section and system control detect the vertical delection failure . so system control farce to set to shut down pls repair the vertical section and system should be ok
The vertical line is a bad pixel sensor at the edge of the screen, your screen has hundreds of vertical and horizonal pixel sensors. This is an indicator that the screen is going out and need replacing.
The Blue dots or discolouration you are seeing is due too the Blue LCD screen having cracked from excessive heat. This normally happens when you have a power failure while the Television was on. This obviously because the Blue LCD sits next to the lamp - the main cause of heat. The correct part number on the 60" is A-1086-952-A. It is very, very ,expensive.
Sorry to have been the bearer of bad news. Good luck : )
The first suspect on a LCD projection if yours is a KF50WE610 is the lamo itself. The second issue with the blue line is a possible bad LCD panel. There is NO convergence settings on a LCD set.
