Vertical strip on the laptop screen: how to remove?

The laptop differs from the computer in greater portability, convenient size and the absence of the need to connect other devices to it for everyday use. But finding the cause and eliminating the breakdown is more difficult than on the computer due to the characteristics of the device. Both the monitor and all system elements are closely interconnected, and in most cases there are several hypothetical causes of almost identical problems.

Causes of vertical stripes on a laptop screen

The appearance of stripes or noise on the screen is a common breakdown, which over time can progress and occupy an increasingly large area on the screen. Such stripes interfere with the color rendering and perception of the text, distract from work or when viewing photos and videos.

• Overheating or complete damage to the video card is one of the most common causes. Usually, with this phenomenon, the stripes on the monitor are multi-colored, often ripples and kinks in straight lines appear. In the case of overheating of the video card, distortions appear at the initial stage of loading the laptop when it is turned on. Over time, the screen may stop working completely;

• Problems with the motherboard - the problem is quite rare and requires the intervention of a specialist. Usually, when a motherboard malfunctions, all laptop systems turn out to be damaged, but there are times when a malfunction affects only the elements responsible for image output;
• Damage or malfunction in the work of the loop - an element that transmits a signal from the main process to the laptop monitor. The cable from the motherboard goes directly to the display. It may be damaged, pinched, or melted along its length. Stripes on the screen can also appear as a result of poor contact at the junction of the cable with other system elements;
• Damage to the monitor matrix. The screen of portable devices is particularly fragile, even one careless sudden closing can lead to malfunction of the matrix and the appearance of stripes;
• Problems with drivers and software.

How to get rid of stripes

If the stripes on the monitor make it difficult to work or their number and size increase, you should contact an experienced master for professional diagnostics and repair. But with the breakdowns described above, the repair will be quite expensive. In order not to become a victim of unscrupulous masters and save your budget, it will not be superfluous to try to diagnose yourself.

In order to immediately eliminate the malfunction of the matrix or cable, you can connect an external monitor to the laptop. If the image is displayed on it without interference, then most likely the problem is different. You can also try to push the screen or gently try to bend it or at different speeds to close and open the laptop.

Reference! If during such manipulations the number and arrangement of bands changes, then the problem lies in the matrix or loop.

If, when an external monitor is connected, the same stripes appear on it as on the laptop screen, then the problem lies deeper and is associated with a video card or motherboard. To solve such a problem, you must have the skills and experience in fixing such devices. Otherwise, there is a risk only to aggravate the situation.
