Hey guys.
Not sure if is this goes here, but i yet to find another forum more appropriate for my question.

Recently, a thin, short, black vertical line (ending with a white and green pixels) has appeared on my laptop's screen, from the top.

Since its sometimes there, and sometimes not (actually, it appears only few minutes after vista starts up) i geuss its probably video artifact in my OS, and not a burnt or stucked pixel, but i've tried to update my x3100 drivers, and still nothing seems to help.

Any suggestions ?

thanks ahead.

it looks as if it's a display issue. Do you see this line in the BIOS, too? If you still have warranty, then better contact your notebook manufacturer.
