I'm experiencing white horizontal static lines on my Acer Aspire 9410 notebook screen (using Vista). It appears to be a hardware problem as I can move the screen to different positions (more open or more closed) and it gets better, worse, or goes away altogether. I'm thinking maybe a ribbon wire connector of some sort shorting or pinching?
However, it may not be hardware, as it is always present on my desktop, but not always present on internet pages. When I'm using the internet, I see it only at the bottom of my screen in the application bar, but not on the website I'm viewing.
I'm stumped. I'm pretty mechanically inclined (cars, etc.) but have never cracked open a computer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Tom

- OK, I've connected an external monitor to my laptop and the external monitor looks perfect, while my laptop screen continues to have white static lines. So, I believe that rules out the video driver or software issues. In fact, the laptop screen has gotten worse and I'm getting the static all the time now, regardless of what I'm working on. Earlier today, I had so much static, the lower 1/3 of my screen was white. As I move the screen (more open or more closed) it gets better or worse. Haayz, you sugested that perhaps my LCD is bad and needs replaced. By LCD do you mean the entire screen display? How expensive is this for this machine (ballpark). How difficult - I'm mechanically inclines, just have not worked on computers before. Wondering if it's worth it or time for a new machine? Thanks for your help. Tom
Try updating the video driver. Also try to connect your laptop to external machine to check if the video display on the other machine is ok or not.
If same problem occur, suspected the LCD of your laptop is faulty and needs to be replace.

presario cq50 i think may be stuck in hibernation ... i power on and i get power led and gharge led ( if i have charger in ) i have tried the HDD RAM and battery in another cq50 and all work fine i have managed to boot into windows a number of times and tried normal shut downs when i go to power on again im back to having leds and power but nothing on screen and HDD light flashes and then stays off it might be worth mentioning that when i managed to boot into windows i had the screen only half open so i could see my screen on my desktop while i googled for answers.. it may evn be something as silly as the hibernate pin being stuck but on cq50 it is hidden and although i did take this notebook to pieces i dont know where it is ( it is back together now and working as i managed to boot into windows after taking apart and putting together )
