A31 little red line

#1 Post by Indy452 » Thu Jan 27, 2011 10:36 am

All was fine till one day a small red line about an inch long appeared on the lower right corner of the screen.It never goes away and is always present...What is it, and is there a way to reverse effects?

Nope. You need a new screen.

So its in the screen and not the video adapter hardware thingy?

I guess I should ask, if it will get worse over time or what? Its really not to bad but just wondering.

Video issues usually come in the form of checkered stripes (mostly green, but I've seen other colours as well) across the screen.

Will the issue that you're having get worse? Quite likely, but how soon is anyone's guess.

With that said, A3x LCDs are dime a dozen nowadays...

Good luck.
