Red vertical bar on screen!

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Have you ever seen anything like this (see screen shots)? I powered up my laptop and saw this vertical red bar. I re-booted and the problem was still there. I left it on and came back 1/2 hour later and the screen saver was on. Full black screen and no red bar. I logged in and everything is fine. I still have 30 days of warranty left on my Inspiron 8600. I was going to contact Dell. I was just curious/hoping if anyone had any advice or thoughts. Thanks.

I have seen something similar on the Dell 17" laptops, but only a pixel wide. Word has it that Dell will replace those faulty screens for free since the problem was so common. Visit the 17-20 inch Dell laptop forum within notebook forums and look up the problem, I'm pretty sure there's a sticky or a frequently visited post that talks about it.
