Dell Inspiron 15: Vertical black line on the screen.

Dell Inspiron 15 , I bought about 8 months ago. The specs are as under: -.
Intel Core i3 3217U clocked at 1.8 Ghz
4 GB RAM DDR3
1 GB Intel HD 4000
1 GB AMD 7670 M (switchable)
500 GB HARD DRIVE AT 5400 RPM
Windows 8 Core 64-bit Edition

The laptop was working absolutely fine with no problems until yesterday. Today morning when I turned on the laptop, I noticed a vertical black line on the desktop with an endpoint at the end of the line on my screen. At first I thought it would be a graphic bug which would disappear on reboot, done repeatedly, but no avail. The black line is more noticeable on a light background.

Laptop has not been submitted to harsh handling or stress. What could be the cause of it? Is it a manufacturing fault or something else?

I am attaching 2 photos of the screen from different angles to obtain a correct and complete line. Please tell me how should I proceed from here.

Contact Dell for a replacement of the LCD warranty.

  • Thick vertical black line on the entire length of the page

    I have a HP LaserJet M1530 MFP Series PCL 6.  When I print normally there is no mistake in the image, but when I make a copy I have a thick vertical black line on the entire length of the page. The black line is about 2 inches from the left edge of the page. The problem is older than the current drum cartridge which was just replaced a couple of months. Never, the problem occurs with a normal printing, copy only and occurs with every copy without exception. Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions?

  • Solid black line on the screen of the HP Tablet

    I just got this HP 7 5709 flow. So far so good except there is a horizontal black line across the screen. I first thought, this is the screen protector, but now I'm starting to think that it is in the screen itself. Is - is this known? Attached to the image here. Thank you

    all kinds of lines on the screen that persist all the time are defective LCD screens and will need a replacement.

  • I am using captivate 8. The clarity of the published files are poor with black lines on the screen. Is there a way to fix this?

    Hello

    I use 8 Captivate. The clarity of the published files are very poor. It has black lines on the published file. Please suggest if there is a solution for this issue.

    Thank you

    Hmm, Milot, why change the top instead of optimized to drag a quality which is the default setting in CP8? And why to substitute the quality of the blade in the preferences, if it is already set to high? I would like to know the reason, always eager to learn. I know that sometimes high leads to reduce the size of the file, but did not know that there has been better.

    My advice would have been to uncheck all the Compression settings in the preferences, size and quality. And I would like to know if the project has been recalibrated, if images have been resized.

  • Tecra M4 - lines of vertical black pixel on the screen

    Hello

    This morning I turned on my laptop and suddenly I have vertical black pixellines more my whole screen.
    There's a line that works normally, who is black, a job, a black man,... and this all over the screen.
    In this same way read something is very difficult.

    I have no idea what can be wrong, I did not install something recently or anything like that. I tried the system recovery, but the problem will not be solved.

    No idea what this can be?
    I appreciate your help!

    Sincerely,
    Seppe

    > I tried system recovery, but the problem will not be solved.
    It looks like a hardware problem, but try the BIOS default. In order to access the BIOS press ESC and F1 at the beginning.

    On the other hand I recommend you connect the external monitor to the laptop to determine what might be wrong.
    If the same lines would appear on external monitor, then a graphics card failure can cause this problem ;(

  • Qosmio G30 - shaded black lines on the screen

    Hello

    I bought the Qosmio G30-116. Great set, but it is a question. On the bottom of the screen there are two dark outline shaded (the brighter the background color is more wisible it gets.)

    It is very annoying, I bought it mainly for movies. I took it to the shop where I bouth it but they said it is normal and have all the toshiba 17 "screen. But I saw 3 other models with 17 "(qosmio résolution reste la même) and none of them did."
    What should I do? Is it really normal? Thank you

    Puuuhhh. Hey pitorek, it's really not easy to tell if it s a malfunction of the display.
    But I think that this question could be answered by an authorized technician.
    I think you should contact the service partner in your country (I guess you are just the Poland ;)) and explain the situation guys.) I think that you need to send this screenshot.

    Eventually, you will get a replacement. But I put t know if it could be an inverter fault or fl display or something different.

  • disorder of the copy or scan, just the shows up as vertical black lines on the page

    I have a HP Envy 120 printer all-in-one.  It prints very well.  But when I saw something to copy, it's just all black vertical lines.  No light in the scan bar.  I had HP replace my printer with a new printer and the same thing happens.  Anyone have any ideas?  I have a laptop with Windows 7.  Have used the printer for 5 or 6 months, but use only a few times a month, so did not notice a problem immediately the Copier.  Spent 4 hours on the phone with technical support who said first the version of the firmware to put up-to-date, but he was able to complete correctly.  He suggested that I had a surge in my wall connection, but that wouldn't make much sense given that I had just plugged the new printer to try and nothing else on this decision was having problems...

    Hi teropt. Reset of the printer and plug it directly into a wall outlet are a very important step to do if you do not have.

    I have problems with my HP 8600N911g.  I have several vertical black lines on the printed page of right hand margin.  This only happens when I copy or scan. Printing from my pc is fine.  I did all the cleaning, cutting for over an hour and reset to factory default.  NOTHING WORKS.  Help, please.  I love the printer hp but tire of their problems, which are few, but when they occur, they are doozies.

    Hi peggymay.

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    Sorry to hear that you are having problems with black lines on your scans or copies.  I had this problem myself on my 8600 very clean and I was able to get it to be resolved. The question arises in fact from two locations and with a little luck, we can get this problem solved for you. First thing to look at is under the hood of the scanner. Lift the cover on the left of the large scanner glass and scanner, you will see a small strip of glass. Take a glass clear cleaner and a lint cloth and clean the small glass placed as well as the large glass. On the underside of the lid, you will see a white plastic strip. Please clean it as well. IF you have already done these steps please proceed to the next step.

    The printer power cable must be connected to a wall outlet and NOT a power strip/Bar. HP printers have built in surge protector and if you have it plugged into a strip/Bar, the printer will NOT get all the power needed for the proper functioning and it will cause problems with scans or copies, and it might even generate false error messages on the printer screen.

    Please try these steps and if they work, fantastic. But if they are not, please do not hesitate to write me again.

    I thank very you much for your time.  Always happy to help.

  • 7520 all-in-one offers unique vertical black line

    My 7520 puts a single vertical black line in the middle of the page when I scan or copy from the document feeder.  I tried to reset by unplugging the power supply, and I cleaned the glass.  What should I try next?

  • How to remove a black line between the two parts of the scanned image?

    Hello

    I scanned a drawing I did a long time ago.

    But given that the paper is too large for the scanner, I had to do two scanning. I wanted to join these two parts as in Photoshop.

    I loaded the left side of the drawing.

    I changed the size of the canva so the second part could be put there.

    I loaded the part right of the drawing and copied and paste it on the canva of the left side of the drawing.

    But whatever I do, I can see a vertical black line where the left and right hand reach. On the contrary, where the right side starts, it seems.

    Could someone tell me (or direct me to a tutorial that tells about) what to do in this case?

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    This isn't under file, Scripts, but under file, PLC.

  • 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

    OfficeJet pro 8600 print a single vertical black line when using the charger

    Hi @realestatejeann,

    I see that you have found one black vertical line when using the ADF. With a few steps, we should be able to solve this problem.

    Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector) This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

    Here is a document for the cleaning of the glass Strip and the underside of the scanner cover.

    Vertical stripes, lines or streaks on Copies, faxes or scans.

    If you need help, let me know.

    Good day!
    Thank you.

  • Vertical black line on Portege 3500

    My P3500 screen suddenly started showing a vertical black line with interference on the right hand third of the monitor. The line disappears after about 15 minutes, but still the interference. I plugged an external display that shows no display problem.

    Hello

    If the monitor external don t show any problem, to certainly show a malfunction. Try contacting the Service of your country partner. Explain exactly what is happening. I'm sure they will know immediately what the problem is.

  • Qosmio G10 has vertical lines on the screen

    I have a G10 which I use for the last 15 months since I bought it.
    However, there are now 4 vertical lines on the screen, 2 Purple (magenta?), 1 yellow and 1 cyan. Other than these lines there are no other problems, it never fell down or something like that.

    The lines are still there, they do not change in any way and are always in the same place. They appear on the screen at first power up, before the Qosmio logo lights up.

    They have not all appear at the same time, they all appeared individually in the past two months. I've seen the last of them disappear briefly, then stay on.

    I guess that my screen is dying slowly, I guess to be an expensive item.

    Any advice thrown my way would be greatly appreciated!

    I took a picture of the screen you will find at:

    http://www.imagebucket.NET/images/lldata/displaylines.jpg

    Note: the photo was taken with Media Player full screen on a black image, just to clearly show the lines)

    Hello

    I suggest you connect an external display to check if it's a graphics card or a display problem. If cela pipes appears also on the external screen then it could also be a problem with the graphics card.
    If these lines do not appear on the external display while the display of the laptop has a malfunction.
    However, this does not change your situation. I recommend you contact the Toshiba ASP to solve this problem.

  • Qosmio G15: Green vertical lines on the screen

    All started an ordinary day, when I was playing music on my iTunes.
    All of a sudden my screen went black and the music stopped, but my power button is always blue. Since then, whenever I try to start it, it goes on the Qosmio screen and Windows XP screen and plays the startup sound, but there all those green vertical lines on the screen. And then it goes black and tsays in this way.

    I was able to use Windows VGA (whatever that means) with lines all over the screen, but I am not able to start normally. Does anyone have any suggestions or have had the same problem? Please help me!
