Hello! I've been using my Compaq Presario (M2000) Laptop for 2 years now, then all of a sudden I saw 2 vertical lines on the screen. 1 line is a clear red line (but not so thick & dark) located about 1/3 from the left of the screen while the other is a very faint (thin, almost transparent) line located about 1/5 from the right of the screen. I think it might be a monitor problem. I'm not very good in fixing computers so I have not done anything about it yet. I'd appreciate your help very much. Thanks!
Most of the time, symptoms like those appearing on your laptop are caused by problems with your video card or the LCD screen. One of the main causes for the problem is excessive heat buildup in the laptop that damages either component, or both of them. If you have a jack for connecting an exterior monitor, try hooking up a monitor to the laptop. If the problematic lines don't show up on your LCD, that;s the component that's going bad, If they are still visible, there's a good chance your video card is going bad (or both the video card and LCD screen are going bad).

Take out battery from laptop and disconnect power cable. Keep the power button pressed for 30 seconds and then plug the power cable. This will remove static charge from laptop and should resolve the display issue,
its the lifetime getting over of the lcd display , either get it replaced or just ignore it . Nothing of repairment can be applied to it . I am an authorised repairer for Compaq at my region . Sorry that we coudnt help you sir ,
Thankyou , please vote for me .
this thing happened in my laptop also i got green screen fully then when i hit it behind the screen it was gone but comes many times then again i would hit later on the screen was completly lost then had to replace the screen yous is a starting period so go to a nearby computer service and fix the screen
the lcd (liquid crystal display) is damaged at this time, nor the inverter, that is of course inside of your pc, im afraid you need to send this to a repair shop
There can be 3 possible reasons for this 1)Screen connector cable is loose. You can try to re-seat it and see if works. 2)display card problem. Connect your laptop to an external monitor and see if the problem persists. If it does not then 3)You will need to get a replacement LCD screen. Hope this helps!
Hello pse try to connect an ordinary screen to your computer and see if you have the same problem then...use both screens at the same time ...and see if your lcd is the same or not...please tell me how it went...good luck...be hearing from you...Ron
you could try and download a new display driver from here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=mx&lc=en&dlc=es&product=499234
