LCD Problems... Dead Pixels?
Hey guys, I've got an Inspiron 9200, 17 inch display, and just yesterday night a very slim, perhaps one pixel in width line just appeared down my screen. It reaches from the top of the screen all the way down, like dividing my LCD. I made sure it wasn't just a graphics card problem by doing a print screen. Does this mean that where the green line is, my LCD has died? Do I need to send it to DELL for repair? Or is there another way I can handle this?
If anybody's got any suggestions I would love to hear them. Thanks Guys.
- Hi!This sounds to me more likely to be a broken screen cable. I had a similar problem with my inspiron 8500 due to frequently use. Opening and closing the lid is always bending the cable...But the good news is: Replacing this cable is far easier and cheaper than replacing the whole screen.I think there is even a manual available from dell website how to do this.good luck!H.
