180920 2003-10-06 20:09:00 Hi.
Was wondering whether someone could help me with this. A vertical line has somehow appeared right in the middle of the laptop screen ( a translucent line) and seems to persist with all applications and through many re-starts. I have no idea how to remedy this! I use a Compaq 1.6GH pentium with Windows XP. Thanks for your help.

If the guarantee hasn''t run out, make use of it. :D
