Hi I have a clients laptop that has what appears to be a permanent vertical red stripe about 2 inchs thick on the screen.

The screen does not flicker or anything it works as usual except for that red stripe.The position of the red stripe does not change either .Any ideas?

Thanks.

If this red stripe shows up on the POST and boot screens, then odds are it is a problem with the LCD itself.

It could be the driver circuits or the ribbon that connects the drivers to the LCD.

Your lowest cost repair is going to be to find an identical model on ebay that has a different failure. Such as a bad motherboard and swap the display modules.
