This will be either a loose screen connection or a failing screen. Start by checking the screen connections. It's generally the connection on the back of the screen, but go ahead and check the screen to inverter, and screen to motherboard connections also. If the connections are good, and you still have the problem, then I'm afraid screen replacement is going to be your only option.

    "I cannot get into the back of my screen as this is a laptop."



    This is just a stupid comment. I know this is a laptop, I am a professional that deals with these on a daily basis, not just some idiot that knows a little about computers and answers questions on the net, and Yes, you can get to the back of the screen. You simply need to remove the screen bezel around the screen and you will see the four screws holding the screen to the hinge assembly. The screws for the bezel are hidden under the small black rubber bumpers, and sticky tabs at the bottom, then it simply snaps off. The bezel is the plastic piece around the viewing side of the screen. Since you can squeeze the screen and it will go away, then you have a bad connection. I hope this helps you fix your problem, so at least one of us will come out good, because I'm stuck with the inappropriate you gave me.

What could be causing my Xerox 660DN printer to print stripes down the center of the page?

This is usually the print heads are not working correctly.
Either purge forever and the problem might go away, or call in Xerox.
Good Luck.

There is a different coloured band down the side of the sreen

This likely to be one of 2 things. 1: its a fault with your screen, try it on another computer if the stripe goes away its 2: the display card in your computer. if its 1: you will need a new screen. if its 2: you will need a new display/graphics card. neither of these items are normally fixable.

Philips plasma tv vertical black stripe

Hi
If there is no picture behind the stripe and the edges are well-defined, then one of the display driver ICs has failed. Philips displays can be made by several manufacturers - usually Samsung. The ICs are bonded to the flexible ribbon in most cases, and replacement is an expensive specialist job - and in many cases is simply not possible.
A shadow on the picture is much better - usually due to interference.

Picture stripe down center of screen

Is the stripe there when the machine boots up in dos or only when it goes into windows? If only in windows the I suspect a driver problem. If all the time I suspect that the LCD panel itself has gone bad.

Black stripe down TV plasma screen

along the sides or the center ? if on the sides check the picture format and see if it changes. If its doesn't go away sound like u might have a defective IC on the ribbon cable that plugs into the plasma panel

Yellow stripe down the screen.?

And a good evening to you!
It is possible that you have a bad LCD assembly, or possibly the LCD cable connector is loose. The only way to find out is to remove the LCD assembly from the top cover so that you can access the connector. It is located behind the LCD screen.
If you want a copy of a service manual for the disassembly process, let me know and I'll see what I can do for you.
