Sorry to bump this, but another one just appeared on the screen, this time down the middle. Its magenta in color.

Now, its getting out of hand. Do they just .. appear like that?

No, if we are talking about another line then I guess you must have a bad connection somewhere, that just gets worse and worse, maybe each time you open/close the screen.

And tbh, I swear that my mouse cursor is able to go "over" these lines.

That is probably because white is made by turning all three RGB pixels on

Damn... I still have this laptop under a maintainance labor warranty, hope that works :cry:

[pilvlp]

FYI, I was fooling around.


GL with the laptop though man. That green line would surely annoy the heck out of me.

[pilvlp]

Tell us what happens with your laptop, I'd like to know. :}

[AllFoamNoBeer]

It will go to maintainance next week.

if i recall correctly you have an acer laptop (from when you had harddrive formatting issues) if so all i can say is the acer badge strikes again, reliability is not something they are known for

and it could be a contact issue inside if you have dropped it recently

[AllFoamNoBeer]

I haven't dropped the laptop ever, it may just be its age, its nearly 3 years old, but it has gone through severe punishment, such as dusty areas etc.

I dunno, if I can get this under the labour warranty, I would fix it, otherwise, I will just live it for 2 years.

my suggestion is to get an external monitor you should have an outlet on there for one, i do that for work with an external keyboard mouse combo you should then be able to split your graphics work across both screens and the monitor wont be as annoying however the green line can probably be fixed

they do replace screens on laptops, if needed im sure the warranty replacement wont be too expensive

[AllFoamNoBeer]

yeah, I do have the pink colour output thing, but lets see

if i get the replacement, then yatzhee!!

otherwise, i would go for an external monitor.
