Full Column of Stuck Pixels

[wswartzendruber]

My whole 262nd column (vertical) of pixels is stuck solid cyan. I used to be able to twist the display to make it go away. Ever since I took the plastic shell off and fiddled around, I haven't been able to do that anymore. I can't find much on these forums regarding stuck rows.

Any ideas?

It's a 1440x900 LED made by LG.

There is no repair for that. Replace the LCD. You have a small fracture in the control array which is causing one of the transistor control lines to fail.

I don't suppose I can upgrade to an IPS while I'm at it?

EDIT: Are all LCD connectors the same?

[Harryc]

The connectors may not always be the same, and the EDID chips required for Lenovo machines may not exist on other seemingly compatible LCDs. Also, Lenovo and IBM never made a 14" 1440x900 widescreen IPS LCD, so that is not one of your options.
