Could you please specify
what type of screen this is? Or any other information that could help identify
what type of screen it is?
A thin
vertical line in a screen could be a faulty cable, faulty graphics card or even
that the screen is faulty itself. But with more information on the screen the
problem would become clearer.
If the line is present in all inputs and modes, there is a problem with the LCD Panel. The only way to fix it is to replace the whole LCD Panel which is very expensive (usually around $1000+ for 40" Sony). Unless the TV in under warranty, it is usually around the same price for a new TV.
monitor is probably going bad. Try hooking up a different monitor up to the computer, one that you know works properly. If the same problem exists then its the video card, if the problem goes away then its the original monitor that is bad.
Vertical lines on a screen is not a processor problem, vertical lines is going to be a problem with the monitor or the video card. Try a different known working monitor on your computer and if the lines go away then you know that the original monitor is bad.
If the lines don't go away then try replacing the video card. If you have integrated video then the motherboard would need to be replaced. A processor driver download is not going to fix a vertical line problem.
you're video card is failing, try the secondary port if you have one, artifacting such as different colors, shapes and lines are VGA related, you need a new VGA card and for more info contact http://tinyurl.com/m7ghqz
You are not alone with this problem. Some lines (like mine) run vertically rather than horizontally. The solution - sue HP. These screens have a known fault ie the Nvidia graphics chip is known to be the culprit. The company knows all about this issue but expect us to pay to put it right - sue them, you can do it online for around £35 (UK).
I know not everyone has this ability, but if you can, go to a friend's
house and hook up an external monitor to your laptop. You may need to
use the function keys to switch from LCD to external, but if the lines
go away on the external, you have a bad LCD. If the line shows up
still on the external, then your problem is either:
a) video driver (free, easy fix) b) bad inverter (video 'outputter') ...approximately $10-50/varies + labor costs to replace c) bad video card/motherboard ...usually between $200-$400 + labor to replace
