I have a Gateway M460 and the screen has a vertical 3″ wide bar on the left side from top to bottom thats more like a film over whatever is diplayed on the screen. It also has the same size bar in the middle of the screen that’s full of lines that change everytime I move the mouse. Is this something I can change with reinstalling my drivers or does this seem like a more serious problem? The problem is constant and even when I open my browser it is still there in all it’s glory! It doesn’t effect the function of the labtop, just my brain! Please help!

Harry,

I replaced the LCD screen on my laptop HP G62-140US, now I have a black 1” strip at the right edge and the task bar at the bottom does not fit the screen.
I tried to change the resolutions but it stays the same.

Try starting the laptop in Safe Mode. Press F8 when HP logo appears on the screen and select Safe Mode option.
If the screen works fine in Safe Mode but not normal mode, try uninstalling and reinstalling the video driver.

I replaced the LCD screen on my laptop HP G62-140US, now I have a black 1” strip at the right edge and the task bar at the bottom does not fit the screen.
I tried to change the resolutions but it stays the same. There are no display settings in the BIOS that I can adjust. The BIOS window displays the same way with the black strip at the right edge.
Any suggestions? Thanks

I have the same problem with “HP DV8000 Pavilion”. At first a 6cm black strip from the right corner. I tried to reinstall drivers, plug monitor… Finally I pushed it and now I got a 12cm black strip from the right:D I think I will have to change LCD or buy a new laptop. Is it possible to set resolution to the LCD screen area which is still OK?

From my post yesterday Sept 9th. I hooked up an external monitor and it works fine. Does this mean the problem is exclusively in the screen and not the graphics card or elsewhere?

Stan I also have the Dell 9300 and a black strip about 1″ wide showed up out the blue today and won’t go away after restart. Could you elaborate on the driver download you did? I use Firefox instead of IE.

Tried the twist, No luck. Did restart, no luck. Will try external monitor tomorrow.

Heeloow, I got a same problem from my Fujitsu fmv 715nu3 laptop. I brought it second hand, it worked very well but from sometimes the evil have been started to appeare and by pressing the corner i get the solution, but right now it can’t works, If i press the corner, the whole part of the side looks like only lines, a vertical screen matched colour lines. I think a person who says that something problem abt behind the screen and above the screeen, I accept it. because if any part of the process is not working very well, the problem should appear in the whole screen, but the problem should working with any 1 or some part of the screen. It’s a just a loose connection or loose screw problem, I think so,
& My dear friends if u can find a problem solution please send me a IM on my above yahoo id, I’ll apreaciate u.

thanks, now i’m going to beleving that the internet is not a mechinenet now, it’s more than a society.

It happened to my Dell Inspiron 9300 one day out of the blue after 5 years of loyal service. a thick pink bar 2 inches from the right corner. Tapping, pressing, hitting and all these things didn’t work and reading your comments i thought the screen was doomed. i also had the bar in the bios screen. eventually i realized this may be the windows update, i downloaded all the drivers again, reinstalled and walla the bar was gone! I hate MS!
