[QUOTE="lohoz, post: 1119022, member: 174217"] Hi guys, Recently, i was using my (late 2008) macbook 2.0Ghz when i noticed a vertical Blue Line going across the screen from the top to the bottom. I have uploaded pictures for you guys to see below. MY APPLECARE HAS ENDED! [IMG]http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/3572/img0964lal.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/3049/img0965w.jpg[/IMG] Can someone explain if this is something wrong with the LCD screen itself or the video card or the connector is loose? And if its a software or hardware problem, how to solve it by software? i have quoted a solution. But can someone verify if it works? " Good Fix for Vertical Lines on Macbook Here is how you fix the vertical line problem on the macbook restart by resetting the pram (holding command option p r on restart) until you hear 4 chimes then when you get into os x. open up system pref. go to display. change the resolution of your screen to anything but normal. then change back to normal. restart computer normally and problem is solved." Will this solve the problem? Thank you for helping me out! I really appreciate it.. [/QUOTE]
