Vertical lines in my laptop screen (by 31 users)
Hello! I've been using my Compaq Presario (M2223AP) Laptop for 2 years now, then all of a sudden I saw 2 vertical lines on the screen. 1 line is a clear red line (but not so thick & dark) located about 1/3 from the left of the screen while the other is a very faint (thin, almost transparent) line located about 1/5 from the right of the screen. I think it might be a monitor problem. I'm not very good in fixing computers so I have not done anything about it yet. I'd appreciate your help very much. Thanks!

GuruWhat 24 sever is suggesting you do is connect another monitor to see if the problem shows up there as well. I?ll be surprised if it does since usually this type of display problem on a laptop more often than not is due to a defective connection inside the laptop screen area.
A quick test and perhaps even fix would be to grasp the right and left sides of your display while it is on (displaying the offensive lines) and gently twist like you were wringing out a towel. Again, and I emphasize, gently using only a couple of ounces of force. Watch to see if the lines disappear, get worse of make the screen flash or change. If you do then its likely cause is the connector from the LCD panel to the electronics has oxidation or a loose connection. If you?re lucky the flexing might even fix your problem, if not you will have to take it apart to find out exactly what is going on or take it to your local repair shop.

Hi... I have the same problem but with my laptop, it started with one vertical line about 3/4 of the across the screen. Then a second line appeared about 1/4 way across the screen. Strange thing... the first line disappeared leaving only one. Now, a second line has appeared about a half an inch from the other line. What is going on?
Thanks for any help.

Hi. I have a Compaq Presario M2000. My problem is more or less the same as that posted by Qdoublea. First to appear were 2 thin, red dashed lines about 1/4 inch apart, located approximately in the the middle of my laptop screen. That was about 3 weks ago. Then, about a week after that, 2 thin, dashed lines about 1/4 inch apart again appeared (one blue, the other green), located at about quarter of the way from the left side of the screen. About another week after that, one thin, dashed green line appeared close to the last two lines. A day after that, one more solid red line appeared next to the last green line.
I hooked up a VGA monitor as suggested by 24 seven and the lines didn't show there. Then, I tried twisting my laptop's screen as suggested by tomj23 but nothing happened. How do I resolve this problem?
Thanks in advance.
