Laptops help: dead sector on screen

L

Leadfoot

Beginner
there is this white line in the middle of the screen. it seems to be a dead sector. Laptop model is IBM ThinkPad R52. its 2 yrs old. what is the cause of the prob n possible solution??
 
Apart from the white line, is the LCD working ? Are you able to see the display properly ?

You can try reseating the LCD cable if you are comfortable doing it yourself, it will involve removing some parts on your own.
 
Ya LCD working fine other than the line. but the line is irritating if u look at the screen for a long time.....

the line is 1 pixel wide vertical through out the length of the screen....

can i expect the problem to increase??? ie more lines

it doesnt look like dead pixel .. as advised above try play with the LCD adapter cable. if you are lucky you may get this back.
