For those saying, "I just pressed the screen in the right place and it fixed it", my personal experience is that you can expect the lines to come back after a while, since you haven't really fixed the underlying problem of a bad connection.
If you fix it properly they will not come back. When you are doing this fix on a HDTV - the only way to fix it fully is to replace the screen entirely - however you cannot get replacement screens for HDTV's - so you have to do things like this to keep it working.
Hi guys the reason theres lines is due to the white plastic sheeting is loose. the screen itself has plasma in it. there is a silver see through sheet in between screen and white plastic panel. once loose on any section it causes this. just find the type tape used on laptop itself and replace it and be careful. it uses a certain amount of pressure a never touch the sticky on the tape or it will give out quicker and loose life. the are wires running up sides and a flimsy board at bottom of screen on back. never mess with it .. hope this info helps guys.
My school laptops are also Acers, not too long ago I opened my personal laptop up in our science class for work purposes and half my screen display was stuffed with lines and white blank areas. I went to the schools ICT person and told me that I "dropped my laptop"... It had been in my view the whole day in a protective cover and if not it was tucked safely away in my locker (in its case of course). I have no idea if he's bullshitting with me or not because when ever you press on certain areas behind the laptop the lines move or disappear like you said in this video. The only part that makes him truly believe that I dropped it was the fact that there was a bleed in my screen, he also said that in the insurance claim (which even with insurance the bill is still pretty big) I had to write that I dropped it, even though I know for sure I had done nothing with my laptop. It was fine the night before, in the morning as well and the whole day up until I pulled it out for science from cover.
THANK-YOU! The laptop repair guy said it would take over £100 to fix my screen! I've literally just fixed it by watching your video. I didn't even have to slip anything in there, I just pressed down on the spot a couple times!
This is very useful and informative, but to anyone attempting this while the laptop is on, fiddling around with screwdrivers and stuff around the "do not touch" isnt a really good idea, you could get electrified by the display inverter, which creates high voltages.
+F1nWarri0r But high voltage is not enough to cause major harm, you need also high amounts of amperes, an example: an electric spot welder only out puts 12v form the welding tip but also a huge amount of amperes which is enough to melt steel, meanwhile to feel a sting from static electricity you need over a million volts to compensate for the lack of amperes. These warning are for preventing people from frying the inverter, and those inverters are for power the screen backlight. Also LED screens don't have inverters since leds don't need high voltages to work
It has something to do with the screens layers releasing. the layers are sometimes attached to each other by a cohesive or just compressed together, this then gets separated and causes this to happen to your screen. Do to heat this can release, the air flow should go from the side and not from the screen side.
Great explanation! From what I've learned so far, if your screen is dim or have no display (confirming it is a display issue and not other hardware/software), good chance it's a video inverter board or cables running to it. Be it a bad connection at the connector on the inverter board or on the motherboard, or wires severing due to opening and closing of the lid. Green/pink lines, probably the screen itself. Or possibly wires between the inverter and the screen. The latter being unlikely tho, because the inverter and wires leading from the inverter to the screen are usually stationary.
Thank-You Karrissa ! .... I was able to Fix my "OLD" COMPAQ Presario C302NR Widescreen LCD laptop screen following your Video tutorial specially on time laps 5:10 . Yes, I realize it is a different bracket system but I played carefully around it and got it working again I learned a lot from doing this. The Solution on mine was to add//Shub in with a thin tiny screw driver a small piece of (what I had in hand) a small piece of Velcro material to one Side or Edge of the screen( it was thick enough) and it stayed in place This made it possible again for the Image to come back to my LCD screen. And when it doesn't I just JIGGLE IT a little and It comes back On. Hey!.. At least I don't have to go out and buy a new one. Thank-You Once Again for this Amazing Tutorial... Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year 2016 :O)
Thank you! I've had a vertical line through the center of my Thinkpad T440pscreen for a long time. Now it fixed! In my case I had to press down rather than pop up.
Awesome.... well am gonna give this a try, though i have not purchased the laptop already, it's my friend own, he wanna sell it to me because of the vertical line on the screen, i pray this tutor works for me if i buy the pc next two weeks from now... thanks, i will comment my feedback when i give this a try....
i tried and now the half of my screen is dead :') guys if you are gonna try it out please be careful and be sure its the type of laptop that will not break by that process!
i tried the same and in my case i have ended up with one extra line, old ones are still there, also i have broken my bracket, but still not worse than yours.
Good job. Informative. After owning a series of Dell D series latitudes I got some skills at pulling these things apart. But that's more of a gpu issue then the screen itself. But good job.
No this is an issue with the display wires for the screen. It is from rough handling opening the screen or an manufacturing defect which has pinched the LCD display wires. A GPU issue is within the graphics card itself and the same lines will be mirrored when connecting to an external display and pushing on the LCD cables will not make it disappear.
Thanks for an informative video. I have an Acer chromebook 14 which showed the intermitent vertical lines on about 1/2 the screen. I tried something else first. I opened the back. disconnected the battery, and then removed and pushed back in the screen connectors. This worked for me. If the lines come back, its good to know/try your approach too.
I had the vertical line problem on my laptop, too. I tried pressing my thumbs lightly at the top and bottom of the vertical lines, and they immediately disappeared! I have no idea why this worked, but it did !
Thanks for this video, I will also do it with my laptop, I was thinking I am gonna change screen, but after this video there is some possibility to fix it, thanks for this solution
Thank you so much from the bottom of my wallet! Your solution worked for me! I was so tired of looking at that big block of lines in the middle of my screen. Whew.
try this at your own risk, I have broken my bracket and lines are still there with an extra one, not for crude hands. but still if this works than this can save a lot of time, money, and I don't think even with an extra line I am worse than before, be careful though. do this knowing that you can end up with worse.
Hi, I really hope you post more videos - this one was a great start. You communicate very clearly and I believe, with a bit of work on the production, you could have a hit channel. Cheers!
Maybe someone will find this info and be helped even today. I have an Acer Aspire 7 with Nvidida GTX 1050ti. When I was gaming the screen started to flicker. It got worse over the last weeks. Then it started to go black at times. Playing games might make the screen slightly warmer, idk, because that's when it would start to act up. I didn't have the "lines" she mentioned in the video. My problems were much worse. Anyway...I opened the screen and did what she did, slight pressing or lifting with a toothpick at the bottom part, bellow the screen-area. I found an area that made the screen stable when I lifted it up slighty. Made an inlay with cardboard and electric tape just like she did and put it under that spot. Now it works again!!! (I already tried disconnecting the screen cable and cleaned the connector earlier so I knew it wasn't that.)
These lines used to appear when my laptop gets too hot. Now I ended up in this video again because the lines wont go away. It's very annoying. The little press with a soft cloth doesnt work anymore.
When do you study to programmer in another contry that dont understand english, but you understood what happened on this video. Yeah professional looking activated .
!!!hi Karissa worked perfectly !thanks p.s i think this happens from lack of support in the middle of the screen when its closed, so it get bended. my solution was to create support using elc tape.
i also having such problem , but the line in my case is horizontal...and comes periodically and vanishes ....will this method work for me?? please suggest...
thnq thnq thnq ssoooo much it works (y) and now i dont have annoying lines on my pc u just have to find that one spot by pressing gently on either sides of your laptop and on a certain point you will find that your line is getiing effected by ur press soo here it is just press gently and u will find ur laptop will go vertical lines free :)
Thanks so much! I have a different brand of laptop but pressed exactly where you said and poof... They're gone. I didn't have to remove the screen though. I know they'll probably return if I don't take care when handling my laptop. Again thanks!
My unboxed tablet s2 shows these lines only rarely when I unlock it after long time with..side unlock click..is it same.,should I give it to Samsung service center??right away
I did this and it worked but the idiots who built my laptop model glued a section of the "do not touch" plaque into the cover and when I pulled it open it created a whole bunch of lines right above that section which I have had much more trouble trying to deal with, holy shit why is HP so incompetent?
What to do?? T__T Mine's a bit sensitive because its touch screen I'm afraid to open it it might just worsen. Are there any other solution? I left my laptop on for three minutes, 2 video players were running and my app player bluestack, when I came back there's a horizontal (almost an inch in width) at the bottom of my screen. Does anyone know any other solution? Help please T___T
i have the same problem in my mini waio , but screen doesnt have the conectors below , they are not exposed at all amd screen is on a metal cage :n what can I do?
has anyone done this on an HP Pavilion TS 15 Notebook? From what I can see this is a fairly common problem. My screen seems to come apart completely differently (or not at all).
Hello there, I would need some help to figure it out what's the problem with my laptop Asus N751Jx display (2015). I see one horizontal line. I see this horizontal line just after some hours of work when the laptop is overheating. I don't see that problem at the first power on in the morning when the laptop is cold and I don't see that problem if I connect the laptop with an external monitor. So I think it's just a display problem... Any suggestion? Could you help me about that? thank you. Please take a look at the picture in the link here below. thank you @t

My fix is adding foam at the back panel of my panel of my lpatops screen .
6 years later, and we're still waiting for the follow-up video. 😆
Legend says she is still inserting cardboards to try fix the problem.

the are wires running up sides and a flimsy board at bottom of screen on back. never mess with it ..
hope this info helps guys.
thx so much
o meu ta assim :( apareceu umas litras
Can we replace these white plastic sheet connector
Well how about the green screen on the bottom of Acer? Next to the power button do you any solution?
Eight years later and this still works thank you❤️❤️

😂
Probably she broke the screen. :D
For me it's 4 years and two days it's October 4

I had a line on my laptop screen and I came here looking for a solution. while watching your video, the lines disappeared automatically :D WOW
Thanks
Oh my good.. 7 years passed. But your trick still works.
I just pressed the sides of my screen and it's working all fine now. Thank you so much ❤️❤️ i almost went to a repair shop to get mugged for my money
THANK-YOU! The laptop repair guy said it would take over £100 to fix my screen! I've literally just fixed it by watching your video. I didn't even have to slip anything in there, I just pressed down on the spot a couple times!
sameee
I did the same thing and VOILA.... the lines disappeared.
@mladen kuznar ikr mine always come back :I its very thin tho but in the middle so its annoying
Hello

What a useful video.. Just wasted 06 mins and 46 seconds of my time.. Thank you
Nice video, was looking for part 2, did you repair it? how long does the repair last?
U r a life saviour. Thank you so much. Love From INDIA.
These lines used to appear when my laptop gets too hot. Now I ended up in this video again because the lines wont go away. It's very annoying. The little press with a soft cloth doesnt work anymore.
The lines will eventually come back. The column TAB driver needs to be replaced and that can only be done with special
materials and equipment.
Hi, Karrissa..nice video...love to see..thanks for your helpful video....
A better solution would be some small pieces of hard foam - that way it contours to the wire while still being solid.
love the "i'm gonna touch it" moment
Same lol
You just saved me 40 Euros for a new screen. Thank you very much!
Tu vídeo me dio una idea para reparar una línea de mi monitor , gracias thank you.

Thanks this kindof helped me fix my laptop.
ok baby that was just what i was looking for .....Grate post.
Excellent vid. You have skillz grrl!
in short its a loose connector issue (within the monitor nto the motherboard /screen one), which can be fixed itself, vs pressign in the screen
!!!hi Karissa worked perfectly
!thanks
p.s
i think this happens from lack of support in the middle of the screen when its closed, so it get bended. my solution was to create support using elc tape.
Cheers darlin'. Worked a treat!
You recorded this with a phone?! Its really high quality
Yea, for 2014 video..
Good video, nice walk-through presentation; I didn't mind the and black screen, audio was good. Will look at mine the same way. Thank You.
Thank you so much! I worked perfectly on my Vaio Fit 15F

Thank you! This was very helpful. I have a Dell laptop.
i got half laptop screen with almost no video or black white lines in horizontal. do you think can be fixed something like that?.
Nice to understand. thank you very much.
Is it safe to open a laptop when it is on???
thnq thnq thnq ssoooo much it works (y) and now i dont have annoying lines on my pc u just have to find that one spot by pressing gently on either sides of your laptop and on a certain point you will find that your line is getiing effected by ur press
soo here it is just press gently and u will find ur laptop will go vertical lines free :)
thanks a lot karrissa, you were helpful.
I think you just need to turn it offand check the connection unplug and replug. No?
Thanks so much! I have a different brand of laptop but pressed exactly where you said and poof... They're gone. I didn't have to remove the screen though. I know they'll probably return if I don't take care when handling my laptop. Again thanks!
