I have a compaq presario notebook, 17" widescreen, which i bought almost two years ago. A week ago a thin vertical line appeared in the screen, and today as second vertical line appeared. They are different colors, and are on opposite sides of the screen equidistant from the center. Does that mean the screen is shot?

I have a HP ZD8000. My problems started with one vertical line down the middle of my screen. I was very annoyed but lived with it. Now almost the entire left side of my screen has two large black and green bars extending from the top of the screen all the way to the bottom. Which makes it impossible to use the laptop now.
I will never buy another HP product again.

Although I was lucky and never had to deal with those annoying vertical lines, I still in the end have a very expensive brick. From day 1 this thing ran hotter than hell, idle temps over 55deg c, and that was with the back of the laptop elevated to allow more airflow. Actually use it for it's intended purpose and temps elevated rapidly from there. Load up a game and actually use that beautiful graphics card and you can't even hold the thing on your lap without risking sterilization. Temps under prolonged load would rise over 70deg c and become unstable, this is with all fans running . Over time it simply became an internet machine due to those issues. I'm a certified tech, I build for work and play, dabble in water cooling and even phase change cooling and let me tell you not even a hardcore overclocker would let a system build that much heat, stable or not and expect things to hold up long term. Well they didn't hold up long term, looks like the graphics chip went belly up. Figured, hey it happens, I'll find a motherboard and fix it. 400-500 for a board, hmm do I dare. So I googled the issue and it seems I'm not alone, far from it actually. Thread after thread of me too's SAME IDENTICAL ISSUE!! Come on HP, I deal with you everyday at work, treat your business customers
well, fessed up to problems with the power supply's on the G5 servers, how about treating the average Joe with the same respect and fess up to this one.
