Hello! I've been using my Compaq Presario (M2223AP) Laptop for 2 years now, then all of a sudden I saw 2 vertical lines on the screen. 1 line is a clear red line (but not so thick & dark) located about 1/3 from the left of the screen while the other is a very faint (thin, almost transparent) line located about 1/5 from the right of the screen. I think it might be a monitor problem. I'm not very good in fixing computers so I have not done anything about it yet. I'd appreciate your help very much. Thanks! I have a dell inspiron 9300 with a straight vertical line running down the very center of the screen. How can I fix this? Is it a problem with the hard drive or the actual screen?
Try connecting an external monitor to the Dell Inspiron 9300 and see if the vertical line is also present on the monitor. If the monitor display is fine, then your laptop’s LCD display panel is defective. If the monitor also displays the vertical line, then your problem is with either the video card or motherboard located inside your laptop.
Not sure if the Compaq Presario has an external monitor plug, but if it does the above procedure can be applied to that one as well.

I have a thin red line and a thin blue line going verticle on the left side of my screen. How can this be fixed?
I have had the same problem with my dell inspiron 9300. Not too long after I got it a line at the very top appeared and then a few months later another line appeared. It is like two small lines that are transparent and there is some kind of background showing through. Not really a problem but it is aggravating to look at.
Theres a black line going down the screen with a thin yellow bit in the black think when put the mouse at it you can not see the mouse and when when you pull it a way so how do a get it away

There can be 3 possible reasons for this
1)Screen connector cable is loose. You can try to re-seat it and see if works.
2)display card problem. Connect your laptop to an external monitor and see if the problem persists. If it does not then
3)You will need to get a replacement LCD screen.
Hope this helps!

"A TRUE DELL STORY" For 4 months have one thin vertical line (one pixel wide) 3 inches from right on Inspiron 9300. Now second line same size but one inch from left. After I ran diagnostics that Dell suggested on line, I called Dell and #1 "Dell Phone Answering Expert" said, "I promise it could be fixed over the phone for $49". I bit on the hook, paid with my card. #1 connected me to #2 "Technical Expert" who told me to do the exact same steps I just did before calling #1....... then #2 said I needed a new monitor. BUT would have to connect me to #3 "Sales Expert". I said "WHOA! Give me your boss, I want my $49 back. You did nothing." #4 "Boss" is busy with others right now...... "WHOA! I'll wait." #4 says that is the process and I said, " #1 is a liar. Give my $$$ back now." OK OK OK in two weeks. FORGET DELL. Last purchase from the only supplier of their stuff. No motivation to provide better service. PS Computer has 2 lines. Should I expect a total screen failure or just one tooth falling out at a time over the next months? WHOA IS ME
I have an Inspiron 9300 with the same problem. the line is yellow instead.
really annoying
