Vertical Smears (bands)

Vertical Smear indicates ROLLERS. Clean the rollers. Most printers has a rear cover that you can open to reveal the rollers.

That is the symptom of failed T-CON board (part of the LCD panel assembly, new panel will be needed), you can try reseating the ribbon connector on the LCD panel first.
This what T-CON board looks like:

check for vertical ic and replace

My grandson suggested I unplug the computer from the wall and leave it out for a while. i did, and it worked!

1. try connecting laptop to an external monitor and check if this vertical dark gray bar appears. if yes it means video is the problem. you need to boot in safe mode then uninstall the video driver. boot to notmal mode then download and install the latest video driver. if still same problem then replace video card. if video is built in with motherboard you need to replace motherboard.

2. when the vertical dark gray bar did not appear in the external monitor then it means issue is with the LCD panel. Do this turn off laptop. press and hold D key then press Power button at the same time or Press and hold on the Fn key then Power button check if the test will run. Color displays full screen when you keep pressing on N key when the colors appears check the vertical dark gray bar if still exist in the test, this means LCD panel and LCD cable needs to be replaced.

Horizontal lines that look like streaks or smears, you need consider:
1) video card memory error cause it if the display memory on the video card
2) check RAM (clean pins and slot pin)
3) monitor power on without cable to see the menu display, it is ok if no streak, need to clean monitor cable plug.

i experienced a tainted vertical black lines on the boths sides of my lcd screen. There was no scratch or whatsoever that could be the reason why thsi balck colored vertical lines to spread. Hope you can help me solve this problem. Thank you..

Your camcorder is on a list with potentially defect CCD light sensors. Sony is replacing them free of charge. Go here for the link and free mailing label: http://www.imaging-resource.com/badccds.html

Recording a movie of a subject that is brightly lit by the sun or some other very bright light source can cause vertical lines or bars to appear in the image during playback. This is due to a CCD phenomenon called "smearing." Note that lines or bars appear in movie images only, but not in snapshots. Smearing does not indicate malfunction of the camera.
