Dell Latitude with a vertical blue line on the screen. Is this fixable.
The display is perfect otherwise.

Tnaks

has it been knocked or bashed because the pixels could be damaged, and
if so that can not be fixed

No, it's not fixable [as a practical matter].

Yes, it's fixable. You can replace the whole screen. But.... big money
for small defect. If more lines appear, you might have to replace it,
but for now... no. (Unless of course, it's under warrenty, in which
case... call up Dell and have them fix it.)

Ever thought it was just the ribbon cable.... that want's re-inserting
or replacing ... this type of fault is common to not only to laptops,
I've had weird faults like this in LCD monitors & LCD TV's as well were
a ribbon cable is used.

To replace the display, that is the screen and the display driver
electronic's ain't gonna be cheap.

These kinds of defects (single horizontal or vertical sub-pixel line
always on or off) are always in the LCD panels themselves. In fact the
ribbon cable can't cause such defects, the ribbon cable is a signal
interface from a video card in the laptop to the screen, it's signals
are at a "higher level" than this.

I agree Barry, just that I've changed the odd leads that caused all
sort's of odd problem's.... as opposed to being of an intermittent
nature as one one expect a lead to be.... never had any bounce or come
backs.

I remember reading a whole website about this. I can;t recall the URL.
Something like blueline.org or dellblueline.

Some guy got everyone organized to post their experiences. I believe Dell
finally admitted to the issue. Not sure what the solution was. It involved
new screens.
