    A random line

    I turned on my Sony Vaio UX UMPC today and there's a faint horizontal line running down the LCD screen! It's 1 pixel wide and runs down the screen... it's solidly grey as well.
    I didn't do anything to it... hasn't been dropped or anything like that. It was fine the day before as it sat on my table... this random line just appeared out of no where.
    Is this a fault with the LCD or the screen cable? Everything else works fine... the faint line is hard to see... but it's there.

    I had this happen once with a Dell Latitude C600. I think maybe it maybe just is the equivalent of a dead pixel except running down the screen.

      usually bad cables result with more than just one faint line, but like a line of like several pixels

        I don't know what causes that, but I have seen a similar problem. My parents' computer monitor has a white horizontal line at the bottom of the screen. It is sometimes solid white and sometimes transparent with visibly moving white pixels.

          Samsung LH82QENELGC/EN Help needed - Static line on screen
          by Kiberge
          HI guys!

          I've got a Samsung LH82QENELGC/EN with a problem and need some advice and I hope this is the forum to use?
          I'm from Norway so I'd like to apology in advance if my description of the fault is kind of simple or the names on the components are way off. 😊

          the TV is powering up, working as normally and picture is all good, except a 1.5-inch-wide vertical line of snow/static across the screen.


          This TV is a Signage Display/Public Display version and it's been used at my work for 4-5 years showing commercials 24/7. The fault occurred when...

          Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
          by Ryan.man
          Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

          My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

          This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

          To fix laptop screen vertical line by working on its EDP cable
          by almarhum
          Has one here really gone through fixing laptop screen vertical line(s) by repairing/replacing its Embedded DisplayPort (EDP) cable, so would recount and share the complete steps of the process here now?

          As most, if not all, believe the laptop screen vertical line(s) caused by defective Embedded DisplayPort (EDP) cable which slipped and passed through either laptop screen hinge but post here is asking help to elaborate definitively the useful, real knowledge of repairing in the most complete, correct way, esp. can decide/determine whether the cable can still be fixed or must be re...

          iphone XS turns off when press on screen.
          by smic717394
          Hi,

          I have a iphone XS that came in for a screen replacement, the screen was badly cracked, and inside missing scues, on the back of the screen still the blue protector, the screen was a LCD. So we replaced the screen and all good, installed the screen and we noticed that pressing the screen with a bit of force but not excessive, the phone dies. After plugging the charger it turns back on, but again if you press it it dies. I open the phone again, and I can't see anything major, with the phone open, if I press on the logic board, battery, charging board, or even putting pressure on...

          LG OLED 55EG920V Black Screen with one line
          by fibcom999
          Hi guys, I have aquired a LG 55EG920V for very small amout of money.

          I have jumped the Power on, DRV_ON and 3,5v pins just for the screen to show a black screen with a green line offset to the left.

          Connecting everything together, shuts the tv off automaticlly after a couple of second( LG protection?)

          Tried with a spare MB and the original, both the same results.

          But if i unplug the 12v rail to the tcon or the larger LVDS to tcon, the tv turns back to the one line and dosent shut off.

          Could this be a tcon issue or something...
