Line, faults & possible causes to LCD screen are given with illustrations.

its the ic problem.on the board.

A vertical line could indicate a faulty lower scan (long skinny boards along the bottom of the set) board, a faulty lower scan connection to the screen or a bad screen altogether!

Put your screen saver to black..let the screen saver come on if lines are there you need a new lcd.....if lines are not there uninstalll all graphics drivers reboot your laptop and reinstall this will fix it if not your lcd screen is on its way out.....NEVER CLOSE YOUR LAPTOP AND STAND ON IT THAT IS JUST SILLY THINK ABOUT IT PEOPLE I MEAN COME ON HOW STUPID CAN YOU GET YES PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE LCD WILL REMOVE THE LINES FOR A WHILE BUT THEY WILL COME BACK.

Check the connections on the flat cables to the screen. Be sure first to disconnect the power supply from the x and y sustain boards before you disconnect any of the flat cables.you will burn the cables from the stored energy in the power supply, also check cables on c boards at bottom of screen. If this does not fix probably bad panel.

Press the Menu Key on your remote. If your menu shows clearly on the screen, then there is a problem with your source.

just on a whim I'd say you have vertical output IC circuits in distress.

can you say Warrenty :->

If the lines are thin and close together running horizontally, it may be the vertical driver, but that usually takes out the resistor and sometimes the diode in the B+ for the vert. Also you must replace the caps that caused the problem in the first place.

You most likely have a bad address board or the conntection is dirty between the address board and the PD (Plasma Display Panel). This is not a do it yourself repair as any damage to the cables to the PDP would require a PDP replacement.
