How can I fix the Vertical Line Issue?

[Harsk100]

I was on the computer and while I was on the internet, the pink vertical line started to appear. It bothered me, because I hadn't this before. Here's the picture:

By the way, I'm using a Toshiba Laptop.

Could someone help me to fix this problem?

Can't see it... perhaps it's not showing due to the resolution of that picture?

See if any of these suggestions help; http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/forum/helproom-1/vertical-lines-my-laptop-screen-4204955/

For what it's worth, I've had a number of Toshiba laptops and the current one is my last ever. It's on its third screen and goodness knows how many graphics card replacements.

I believe the line is a defect in the screen itself, not an issue with the image being sent to it from the GPU. In other words, a screenshot isn't going to show the defect. @Harsk100 would need to take an actual picture for it to show up.

Possibly, but I don't know it does this. I will replace my laptop's screen tommorrow.

It might be another possibility, but the picture at OP has been taken by myself with a Camera Tool which I have in my computer.

Which is simply doing a screen capture of what the GPU is sending the screen, not what the screen is actually displaying.

Do you see the pink line in your post?

Also, do you have something you can use as an external monitor - do you see any problems if you're using that?

Display issues are either
Defective LCD which looks similar to this, but can be anything from half the screen missing, to covered in lines, even ghost images.
(The GPU is not displaying these lines)

Or you can have GPU artifacts.
GPU artifacts change looks when the screen changes, be it change color, shape or even disappear or get displayed after a short time from boot.
(this is what the GPU is displaying)

Cracked LCD.
This is obvious

Backlight issues.
This is obvious as well

Pink Line while I'm posting, I don't. But on the black backgrounds, I see the vertical pink line.

Well, I think so.

Well, I think so.

So... a picture begins in the GPU.

It then has a choice of where to go - it either goes out of a port or plug into an external monitor or tv, or it goes through the inside wires to the screen in the laptop.

If the GPU is making the pink line then you will see problems on every place you see the picture, you will see it on a TV, on a monitor and on the laptop screen.

If it's just the laptop screen (or the laptop screen's connection wires) then a TV and a monitor will be okay.

That's what you need to check.

TB means specifically in your opening post. Do you see the pink line in that picture you posted? Because we do not see a pink line in it. Which means you weren't able to screenshot the problem. Which in turn means it's not in the GPU (since it outputs the correct image). So it's a defect in the screen or the connections to it (hardware problem). It won't show when connecting an external monitor.

Yes, I do.
