green stripe on my monitor..?

Question

I have a laptop and there is a thin green stripe going down the monitor. Does this mean my monitor is going to be breaking soon and be no good? Can you fix it or make the green stripe go away? It's annoying cuz it's in the middle of the screeen. I just am not sure what this means. Thanks for the comments in advance

Answer 1

Try taking your fore finger and thumb - lightly pinch the bezel along the outside edge of your screen.

Sometimes there is a loose connection to the screen. If this fixes it, it will only be temporary.

Is your laptop still in warranty? If so, call into service an tell them the monitor goes blank white intermittently. Theu may replace the screen and the connections.

LCD replacement screens cost as much as a new laptop.

Good Luck

Also worked on dell monitor with similar 1 pixel vertical green stripe. Pinched the monitor hard at the base of the stripe and it goes... release and it's back
