Hi. I have a problem, hopefully you will be able to help me out on it.
While playing CoD2, a vertical yellow line suddenly appeared towards the 1/3rd of the screen (left side), taking the whole height top to bottom. Since then, the thing is still stuck and won't go. I believe the pixels down this line are not dead since they are yellow-colored.
It's here all the time, including during the boot-up stage (grey apple on white background) or while watching a movie. Would you like to see it? I would have to take a picture of it with a digital camera.
I've tried modifying the screen resolution, number of colors, rebooting and running several dead/stuck pixel health programs. All these attempts failed miserably.
Can you think of a method/trick to take this line out? I'm desperate, this annoyance hinders me from focusing on my work/game/movie. Thanks a lot!
