    Hi

    Since last week my 4 year old VGN-Z4 (custom) is showing one vertical white line on the display, in Win 8.1 and also in the BIOS. The line is not showing on a external display.
    I think this is hardware related, any idea if this is the Graphics card / display / or wiring?

    Thanks!

    This is definitely the matrix problem. It should be replaced.
