The inverter simply takes the power from the DC power supply and converts it to high voltage AC for the backlight display. Vertical lines are from a loose or damaged data cable that usually connects on the left side, rear of the display or the lcd panel itself is failing and the lines are usually indicative of this type of failure. If you grap the screen on either side and "torque" it or twist it slightly and the lines go away or are diminished, then there maybe a problem at the socket on the back of the display, this is where the data cable attaches. Over time these sockets can get "wallawed" out and not make good contact. The only repair for this socket damage is lcd panel replacement. I doubt it is the cable, but there is always the chance.

Blue vertical line

Vertical lines appearing on your laptop computer's screen are not a nice sight to see and they can indicate an internal problem with the computer.


This can be a simpler issue if you are lucky.

You can try a few things to get rid of the lines, but it all depends on what the source is.


A problem with the screen itself might be corrected with some home repair, but there's a good chance you'll need to take it in for repairs.


Wait for the computer to warm up if it has been in very cold temperatures and has just recently been taken into room temperature.

The cold air can be one of the simpler causes of the lines that can be easily corrected.


Press the laptop's menu button and click on the "Degauss" option if one is available.

This may correct the problem in some cases, although the monitor normally degausses itself when you turn on the computer.


Turn the computer off and remove the computer's main panel and keyboard to access the motherboard and screen cable.


This varies depending on the model, so follow all instructions included in the laptop's manual as to how to do this.


Disconnect and then reconnect the data cable for the laptop screen.

Check and confirm that the cable's connector is properly seated.


Assemble the computer in reverse order of disassembly and turn it back on.

If the vertical lines persist, the problem is likely with the motherboard or video card and needs repair from licensed professionals.


Hope this helps

How do i fix the lines on my toshiba satellite laptop l25-s121?

More than likely the screen. The inverter normally causes things on the desktop to be barely visible. The whole screen looks black, but with a flashlight you can see the images are there when the inverter is bad.

On my screen I keep seeing red vertical stripes. How do I get rid of this?

Hi,

You can try to hook up an external monitor. If the vertical linea are visible on the external display, try to update your video card driver. If it is not showing in the external monitor, You are having an LCD problem.

If you don't have any external monitor, go to BIOS setup and check if the lines are visible, if yes, you're having an LCD/screen problem. You need to replace either the LCD cable, LCD inverter or LCD itself.

Hope this helps.

NTV Scree

Hello,

All plasma an lcd tvs have boards that control vertical and horizontal output to their respective areas. They are connected to the screen by ribbon cables.

IF YOU HAVE A SOLID BLACK LINE RUNNING VERTICALLY THEN YOU HAVE A FAULTY MATRIX INVERTER. IF CENTRAL THE MAIN VERTICAL INVERTER NEEDS CHANGED. LEFT = LEFT VERTICAL INVERTER RIGHT=RIGHT.........

ANOTHER WAY TO GET THIS FAULT IS WORN OR DAMAGED RIBBON/PLASTIC GOING FROM THE SCREEN MATRIX TO THE INVERTER

Hope this help....

LCD Screen problem - Whiteish with vertical lines.

It sounds like the inverter has failed. A small circuit board which lives under the lcd screen. While they are cheapish to buy, replacing them is risky as you have to dissasemble to screen itself. If, like you say, an external display works that rules out most other possibilties. The only other thing could be the screen itself. Bu it would only behave like that if it get smashed.

Please take a moment to rate my solution.
Thanks.

But it could be just a bad inverter. Can you hook it up to external monitor? That will tell you if problem is before or after inverter.
