It could just be a stressed cable going to the LCD panel. Might be loose,
also. This was the problem with my friend's Dell. His dad gave it to him
because he thought it was broken and I fixed it within 10 minutes of him
showing it to me. Try putting pressure on the top of the case near the
hinges (above the keyboard) and see if it clears up at all.

Hi all,

I have a Compaq Armada 1750 laptop and the display's developed an
intermittent fault which at times is bad enough to make the screen
totally unreadable. It doesn't seem to be temperature related and can
happen at any time. The most noticeable problem is kind of like
slender, white, verticle streaks going down the screen which flicker
and vary in intensity. At worst, the whole screen apart from the top
quarter inch along the top becomes whited out. Anyone have any idea
what might be the cause of this problem or how to fix it?

Thanks,

p.
