Thread: vertical lines with laptop screen

This Dell studio 1737 has abruptly outof the blue evolved vertical lines everything the way across thescreen. The lines are actually noticeable going via the desktop iconsand you can barely create out the text below them. It is not a drivermatter like I have rolled rear and updated them and it creates nodifference.


Really you can watch the lines duringstart up going via the Dell logos and stuff and they are howeverthere in safe way thus drivers are not the issue. If you plug it intoan external monitor the screen is alright with no vertical linesanywhere. Seemingly no one else has had this problem earlier likeGoogle is not helpful at all this time.

Is it likely thescreen itself or few other part in the screen such like the inverter?I have watched symptoms of an inverter going out earlier and thisjust does not seem to be the case with this one.

Double examine the connection to the motherboard. It may not be seated firmly. Inspect the wire carefully appearing for a crimp or cut

The cables all appear alright to me, no pinches or cuts and they are seated unwaveringly. I am thinking attempt the inverter first since they can be had for cheap. If it is not it I have an additional inverter.

Did you attempt hooking the laptop to a different monitor to watch if maybe the display is faulty?

The Toshiba Satellite Pro and the Dell XPS of a some years rear applied the same displays and suffered from this trouble. It is mainly an above heating matter and generally by this stage the display is broken. Attempt a novel inverter board by everything means, but from experience you are going to have to bite the bullet and alter the display.

He did and it was alright. A display substitution is more as compare to likely in order. I agree with a display substitution.

The inverter is just for the rear light. That is not your trouble, the display requires to be substituted.

Alright everybody, display substitution it is then and thanks for the heads up. I could not detect anything with these having matters thus I appreciate it.

The display was bad. I was shopping about online for a substitution and remembered I had a junked HP dv9700 in my pile. The display from it fit exactly minus a few screws keeping the display in place at the top. It is however nice and snug while and the video screen is exact now.
