Its a mechanical problem. You can do one of two things.

1. Wait. It may go away. I've had this happen before to me on an HP LCD screen and it went away after a day or two.

2. Send it back/Get it fixed. There's nothing you can do if it is a defected LCD screen.

I'd get your video card checked out. What you described has been symptomatic of video card problems. A quick way to check is hook your computer up to an external monitor. If you see the same thing on the external, it's most likely a video card issue. If not, then it's your notebook screen.

This is an issue with the LCD. It has tab separation. It has nothing to do with the video card. Look for a new LCD on ebay for your unit, it is going to have to be replaced.

...or you can load Linux or hook it up to an external screen to see if it gives the same Line...
