About Lauren Bennett Expertise I am a computer science major and my dad is an Electric Engineering, so my life has revolved around computers. For as long as I can remember, I have been buying and selling computers. I tend to travel a lot, so I have always had a laptop. I have bought 5 of them for myself, and bought around 30-40 for friends and family. I have dealt with the good and the bad of various version and brand names. If you are in need of buying a laptop, feel free to contact me and I'm sure I will be able to guide you into purchasing the laptop that will be the best fit for you. I will custom build you computers for you to choose from so you can get an exact idea of what to go and buy when you do it yourself and so that you have an exact price. However, I am in the USA and am only knowledgeable about computers here in the US. I do not know about foreign currency or the quality of computer brand names outside the US.

Question Hi i recently bought a laptop and now i have yellow line orunning vertically down the screen a faint line what does this mean thanks
Answer Most likely it has to do with the pixels in your screen. If you keep hitting F12 at the Dell logo screen when you boot up, you can run diagnostics and run a custom test on the LCD screen. Write down any errors. Lucky for you, you said you just bought the laptop and I believe all computers come with at least a one year warranty. If you report this issue to your laptop manufacturer, they will either replace a cable running between the two screens or replace the screen. I had the same problem with mine last year and that's what they did.
For future reference, I am on this site for buying/selling laptops & desktops, not repairing them. There is another section on this website for that purpose. I do have personal experience with this issue and a few others so if I do get asked one, I do my best to help even though repairing computers is not in my area of expertise. Another great resource for future problems is www.pchelpforum.com.
