Blackman4 -> Single-pixel Lines in Dell Inspiron Screen? (1/19/2007 20:43:16)
|
As a bit of backstory, I've never worked hands-on with a laptop before. Somehow, I ended up with one as my primary computer. Please save the 'lolz get a real computer' comments until after you've given your expert opinions.
Recently, some vertical lines have appeared in the screen. It has not been bumped, jostled, thrown, or dampened. It's a very spoilt little machine.
I don't have a spare monitor to test for a screen problem, but I might be able to jack a friend's when he gets back from vacation.
As far as I can tell from previous experience, I think the video card may be going. To be honest, I'd be much happier if that were the case, since I imagine screens are much more costly.
Has anyone else ever had this happen? Does anyone have any idea what's up?
