I have 2 vertical coloured lines going down my laptop screen
which sometimes turns to 3 but it's quite rare
but usually one is turqouise and the other is white
it's quite annoying at times since I know it's not ment to be there
why do I have lines on me computer screen?
thanks in advance for any answers :)

Hi Sound_Asleep

Several things can cause this:
1) you need a better video driver
2) Your embedded video adapter is physically going bad
3) the screen itself is going bad.

For a test can you do the following:
1. Power off the laptop
2. Plug in a external monitor to the laptop
3. Power on the laptop/monitor and let's see if these lines show up on the monitor or just the laptop or both.

Let us know.
