I have no clue what your talking about. Can you take a picture of it? How old is the laptop, who made it?

had that happen with my old Powerbook. You need a new LCD.

I agree. This is a hardware problem, not software. My philosophy is ...there's always an excuse for an upgrade!

I once bought a laptop with a single pixel strip down the left, for $150 (because of the defect). When I got home it (the defect) went away, and never came back. Had the whole screen gone kaput, I would have felt pretty stupid.
