I have vertical lines (15 of them now) on the right side of the LCD panel of my P105-S6227 Toshiba laptop. They appeared 1 or 2 at a time, are randomly spaced and are aqua,yellow, or pink. They are 1 pixel wide and when starting to appear they flicker a bit and then show up to stay. I am very careful not to bang it around but it does travel a-lot. I have tried disabling/uninstalling graphics card and memory removal, no change. Running Vista Home 32bit. Screen replacement is $$! Any ideas??
I'm afraid when you see vertical line on an lcd panel, it most likely is screen failure. Ebay has plenty of screen from good companies in Texas. I get most of my screens from Ebay store LCDTECH99. They have the best prices, most screens are under 100 bucks and they ship right away. The Toshiba screen is an easy repair, Only the bezel needs to be removed in most cases. Below is a guide to show the process.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the solutions P-head. Can this model be upgraded(cpu and gpu)?"
Most laptops have integrated graphics processors, you can tell if your does by its specifications. Look at the graphics information and if it has an "M" after the number , like a Gforce Go 7600m then it is a chip soldered onto the motherboard and cannot be upgraded. Also, the processor on your system is the T5200, runs at 533 mhz fsb, the only other chip that matches the spec. for fsb speed and manufacturing process which is 65nm is the T5300 which runs only slightly faster than the T5200.

Sorry, you'll have to live with it, LCD screens are not repairable, they're only replaceable.

Thanks Parrothead I will just replace the screen at those prices. While I have it apart can the cpu(Core duo T5200) and/or graphics "card"(GeForce Go 7600) be upgraded on this model?
