Colored on laptop screen vertical lines

Satellite M60 BK300E. For a complete specification, see http://www.toshiba.ca/web/product.grp?lg=en§ion=1&group=223&product=4670 & part = 3411 #spectop
It is relatively older model, about 3.5 to 4 years.

Recently, I spotted the appearance of colored screen vertical lines, each has 1 pixel thick. The lines altogether 6 now. They are distributed in thickness and the positions they take on the screen remains unchanged at the start of the system.

I wonder if this may be incurred by the failure of the video card or the TFT matrix?

Test it with external monitor. If the situation is the same as the graphics card is defective.
Otherwise, if the image is normal, it must be defective LCD screen on the laptop.

  • Pavilion dv4 laptop: HP Pavilion dv4 laptop grey screen vertical lines

    (1) a couple of months there are 3 vertical lines have appeared on the left side of the laptop screen.  Then the last two weeks all of a sudden the entire screen turns into a gray color with vertical lines.  Happened three times already and don't know what to do.  Not too computer saavy (I'm a senior) and it will bring relief but I don't want to get cheated and want to be less well informed about what it could be.  Read something about a UPS (not sure what that means).  When this happens, I have of course turn off the pc, wait a few minutes and turn it back on.  Don't know what is the cause.

    Maybe I should change the screen, is it expensive?

    (2) also I am on a wireless network and pages have sometimes a delay in loading or it says it is not connected.  Called my provider and they do not know what the problem is.  Six mos Fox their service has worked very well, all of a sudden it doesn't and of course they blame my pc.  If anyone knows why this would happen intermittently?

    Thanks in advance. Enjoy all your help...

    Hello @maxinemaxine1,

    Thanks for the quick response!

    There may be several reasons why you would have this problem.  Wise software, it can be related to malware.  Or maybe your drivers should be updated.  Hardware wise, the graphics card may be faulty. It is possible that the display cable is not correctly connected or is faulty.  It is also possible that the display on the wall it itself is damaged.  I hope this helps.

    Kind regards!

  • iMac late 2009, squares spread on the screen, vertical lines of color

    Hi, while working on the imac 2009 end got suddenly squares scattered all over the screen and froze, rely on the button in the back to restart. After reboot when starting, I got colored vertical lines at the same time with the logo of apple and after the screen whent white, and that's it nothing else, remains just white. Appreciate any input.

    Sounds like your graphics card has failed. Find a CENTER in your area and make it check and get an estimate to determine if it is cost effective to repair.

  • Colored screen vertical lines

    I have a HP Pavilion laptop dv6 6100 special edition Entertainment, on which I run Windows 7 64 bit.

    For about 2 months now, multicolored vertical lines have spread from right to left on my screen.  There is a part of somall who is also black, and it kind of white and purple flashes occasionally. They are perfectly straight, and there are no cracks in my screen. Right now I am running with a third of the visible screen. Help, please

    Hi GoodTmsBadTimes,

    Your processor is attached to the motherboard that can be very expensive. Most of the time the motherboard is more than a new computer. Sorry for this information.

    Have a good week.

  • HP dv8333cl problem - Green Green screen and screen vertical lines

    I had Staples easytech replace the CMOS battery in my laptop and in the process of reassembling the tech got green lines on the LCD screen.  He was frustrated and gave up after four days.  I brought the computer home and plugged the second monitor.  The video on the external monitor was perfect.  Now, I suspect the cable or pins to my laptop screen are messy.  Is there a link of good disassembly out there for my going back in and the problem of troubleshooting.  I do not sound like a novice, but shrunken technology has this old man with fat fingers a little frustrated.

    Return to the store where he worked on and insist firmly on the wound by making a repair. Frustration of the tech isn't your problem.

    Display problems that did not exist should not have happen with a replacing the CMOS battery. Replacing the CMOS battery in a dv8000 series laptop is a simple task. It's a question of withdrawal of the door of memory and memory modules themselves to access the CMOS battery.

    Here's a link to the guide Service and maintenance for dv8000 series notebooks. I suggest let you disassemble the laptop for technicians.

  • ProBook 6560 b: Probook 6560 b screen has lines blue vertical + VIDEO TDI FAILURE (atikmpag.sys)

    [IMG] http://i68.Tinypic.com/zya8mb.jpg [line]

    [IMG] http://I66.Tinypic.com/sfb2uq.jpg [line]

    My computer runs Windows 10 64-bit and Windows 7 64 bit in a dual boot, my laptop has a 6470 M graphic ATI card.

    I was running a game in Windows 10 when 'glitches' started occurring on the screen, the blue strips on the screen vertical lines.  Then I tried to check for the latest drivers, I already had the latest, but tried to install the Beta Edition Crimson.

    Questions seem to get worse, windows would start well, but by practicing a game the screen would suddenly get these strange blue strips, and when the screen is black the whole screen is filled with blue dots.

    I left the laptop running for awhile, and when I came back to it, the screen was out of order so I restarted.

    Blue stripes appear now already during the welcome of the hp bios screen before the OS has been loaded. What, I'm unable to connect to Windows 10 in normal mode, as he complains of a "FAILURE of TDI VIDEO (atikmpag.sys)" error and stops at blue screen. ""
    I am able to log in window s10 in safe modeand when it is connected to an external display by VGA adapter, but there are always strange objects and strips of blue lines.

    The same blue lines appear in windows 7, also I am here only able to log on in safe mode.

    In my haste to fix this with a driver issue, I'm also currently not able to uninstall the driver thanks to the "add or remove programs" in windows 10, maybe I should have uninstalled the other driver first. The uninstall program gives an error message, I think it's "initialization error" or something similar (I can check when I get home)

    I tried to update the bios of F.22 to F.61 too, but there is nothing.

    My theory is that the ATI card actually suffered a severe hardware malfunciton, as the seeds of graphs already occur before the operating system is loaded, in the screen/HP logo screen bios welcom immediately after startup. I can't realistically replace the ATI card, so I'm afraid that the laptop is now brick. As the laptop is an I5 2520, I guess it's a HD3000 Intel integrated graphics card, but I've never seen this map in "Device Manager", it's in my mind, maybe the last option I have, can I just bypass the ATI card and use the other onboard graphics, that would be acceptable to me.

    I would be eternally grateful if anyone has any suggestions for me.

    If you see the lines on the screen when it makes BIOS initialization with the HP logo then it is not a driver issue, it is a hardware failure.

    In the probooks I was inside the video is integrated in the motherboard, so the odds on the motherboard needs to be replaced to fix your problem.

  • HP 14 laptop: there are vertical lines that appear on my monitor HP 14-r024TX

    When I opened my laptop, a vertical line has appeared in the centre and disappears in a short time like 5-10 minutes of using the device. The case is repeated for 2 weeks until week 3, there are more lines appeared and does not disappear. I went to my dealer and they said they will send the laptop to the company here in the Philippines. Should I back up my files first before sending it even if just the monitor will be replaced? How long he's going to be fixed? and my unit has a genuine copy of Windows 8?. Also, my unit did not fall to the ground to make. Please help! and I thank you in advance.

    Hello

    Thanks for coming back!

    Ok. In this case backup all your data by copying and pasting on external hard drive and the HP Recovery Manager backup tool & expected repair with HP in your region.

    You could also do an entire hard drive / image back to another external drive using the built in Windows 8 Control Panel tool and using third-party tools such as Macrium Reflect free. You will need Windows rescue CD to return after restore everything back to the laptop.

    Hello

    If a separate monitor (not a laptop), it will be setting of physical geometry on it then you can move all the
    the screen to the right and enlarge if necessary. Also right click an empty area of the desktop - graphic properties.
    Search for geometry settings (PCs and laptops).

    If necessary contact your system support manufacturer and check their documents and online forums. Do
    even to the different system manufacturer monitor manufacturer if.

    I hope this helps.

  • Strange khaki screen with vertical lines

    Hi all,
    I desperately need help! Please help me. I've never had problems with my Toshiba satellite. But, today I was turning away, but... the only thing I had was a strange screen khaki color with vertical lines in the colors of the spectrum. I tried on several times, but each time the result was the same. And also the screen becomes darker and darker while I am interested in it. And at some point, the computer is a function that seems to restart and the result is the same...

    I do not much about computers, but I know something serious. Diagnose you something for me...
    Thank you, Ana

    Hello

    The pictures on the screen appear like behind a fog?
    This looks like a failure of inverter FL.
    This part is placed behind the screen and is not very expensive.
    In my opinion, you will not be able to replace yourself and I wouldn t recommend this if you have no experience.
    I recommend to contact Toshiba service partner in your country and technicians must first check the laptop.

    Good luck

  • Qosmio F10: vertical lines on the screen

    I use a Qosmio F10 with a nVIDIA 128 MB graphics card. Recently while I was running a graphics-based application on, my screen started showing me wire colors on the screen. I was able to start the game once more, but found the same problem exist.

    On reboot, the system showed the vertical white lines on the screen to start qosmio, ' *' on the lines of the bios password screen and green on the Windows XP loading screen. I was not able to start Windows. Thinking it would be a problem of S/W, I formatted.

    The problem persists and I can not load Windows XP.
    Can someone tell me what the problem with my laptop?

    Hello

    This sound like a hardware malfunction and I guess it could be something wrong with the graphics card or motherboard :(

    But the vertical lines appear on the external screen? If so, then it must be a matter of Council.
    In this case, you have a lot of possibilities. In my opinion, ask the guy to service for the control of the laptop. The technicians of the service in your country partner could run diagnostics tests and will give you more details about the failure.

    Good luck
