A random line

[stevo1210]

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.

Re: A random line

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

Re: A random line

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.
