Laptop producing lines all down the screen

[gavm99]

Hi all,

I haven't seen this problem directly yet but my customer has told me about it.

The customer has a Toshiba Qosmio F20 Laptop. After a few hours of use they get 'lines' down the screen and they have to close the lid a few times in order for it to go away.

They have also attached a monitor to the laptop on my advice and said that the lines do not appear on the monitor.

What does everyone think this is? Just the cable which connects the screen to the motherboard?

Thanks in advance.

Put the laptop on your lap instead of the table. Sometimes the uneven pressure of your lap can trigger screens going wonky. Also, do you know if your customer lifts the laptop by the screen?

I will try that if the laptop comes back to me!

Thanks.
