The stripe can be seen while the windows boot screen is on? Or it also appears in black backgrounds?

If so, yes you will need a LCD replacement.

You may want to check your LCD cables to see that they are properly seated.

the stripe is there all the time and yes i have checked the cables have had it apart a few times it is an 600e running at p3 600 can be maxed out at 750 if i do the speed step mod i gues it is off to ebay to pick up a screen or maybe an whole one for parts am i correct that one from a 660,600e,600x will all fit are there any other ones that will fit that i could look for good parts for the 600 seem to be getting harder to find thanks for the replys

When you checked the cables, did you look for any breaks in the cable?

The difference between my post(s) and yours is that mine were not laced with attitude. It's much easier to understand something when it's written in the language you know, not gibberish. It's for your own good.
