Replace the screen; all it takes is steady hands and a set of electronics screwdrivers. The screen will run you about $25.00. Look up how to do it on youtube. Heres some links to screens:

LCD monitor has a black slash where no color shows

Sadly its a crack in the screen. Laptops take a lot of abuse no matter how careful you are with them. The fact that they are moved 6-10 a day makes them very susceptible to damage.
