    hey guys, I just noticed a strange vertical line on my screen...its not like dead pixels or anything...it looks like the line is there because of too much pressure...like when you push your finger on the screen, but lightly, the line flickers when i tap itor jiggle it around...im just wondering if this is going to be a problem...thanks guys

    Does the vertical line ever go away? If you have warranty, this should be covered in it and you could get a replacement.

    the line is not visible unless i jostle or jiggle the laptop...i noticed that if i touch the bottom frame of the screen the line appears...my warranty already expired, has anyone ever had this problem before?
