    Hi there,
    I got this HP compaq CQ40-601TU 4 months back and since 2 months a reddish thik line started blinking all the way across the bottom of the screen.I don't think its bad pixel as the color changes..I am guessing.. :( .can anybody help me get rid of this please..? Or should I just call them up as this is still under warranty?

    you have been waiting 2 months to decide whether or not to call hp service/support and send your machine for warranty service?

    why?

    Screen is going bad. Call while it's still warranted.

    I was away for some time plus I really don't use it much and it kinda slipped outta my mind. Well actually I called them when the line started appearing and one of the HP reps sent me video driver, I installed it but apparently it didn't worked as it started reappearing the next day...then I was away and blah..blah..I wasn't too concern I guess..thats rather foolish of me..but I am not too late to realize that (I am sure!)...
