Vertical Line on Toshiba Laptop Screen

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

Hi,

I am having a problem with my Toshiba Satelitte Laptop
(S1900-303). Sometimes there is a faint vertical line on left hand
side of the screen.It is not there always. It comes from no where,
sometimes stays there for a day or two, then disappears by itself.Then
again shows up after a few days. I did sent my laptop to the Toshiba
repair centre, but they send it back saying they could not find any
fault. They could not even see any vertical line.

This laptop model has a BIOS update and I have not yet applied it.
I am little afraid to do a BIOS update. Can this problem be because of
not doing the BIOS update.

Laptop is still under warranty (I feel myself lucky that I bought
an extended warranty when the standard warrantly expired earlier this
year). But since this problem is occuring only intermittently, I do
not know how to show Thoshiba the fault.

Any help/advice would be most appreciated

Regards,
Priyesh
