gavin_darkglider 1562 Posted May 4, 2016 Weird lines on the screen of a laptop can be caused by 2 things. either the video card in your laptop is going out, or the screen is going out. Do you get the lines on an external screen? if not, the problem is the screen, if so, the problem is more than likely the video card, which most likely is built into the motherboard or CPU. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gavin_darkglider 1562 Posted May 6, 2016 Hi Swizzy thanks. I've posted the link here. https://youtu.be/5e1ataLeILw If I had to take an educated guess, which, considering what I do(Fix Computers) on that video, I would say it is the screen. Try hooking it up to a TV, or vga monitor, and see if it has lines on that screen. I have found these lines are usually vertical, and either green, or purple in color. sometimes they are red, blue, or other, but usually not. good luck, and if it is the screen, you should be able to get a suitable replacement online for $50 or less. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the hinge isn't properly seated it could be that the cable is slightly damaged causing the issue as the cable that connects the LCD with the motherboard usually go within/alongside one of the hinges Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
