vertical band (red stripe) in lcd display

Thanks in advance to any repliers, this is my first post. I have an HP Compaq nc8000 running windows XP with 1.5 Gigs RAM. Its an older laptop but it has always handle recording and mixing of sixteen simultaneous audio tracks while running numerous effects, something many newer laptops with better stats have failed to do. So I am partial to this little work horse. It is currently fully functional but the LCD Screen has a verticle band of flickering pink stripes (color will vary depending on background) a little left of center (see attached images). I hooked it up to an externail monitor and did not get the wertical band on that one. I was wondering if anybody else was having the same issue. Will replacing the screen take care of it or is it a mobo/graphics card issue? My brief research has indicated the lcd inverter is probably not the culprit, any confirmation of this guess?
Thanks again,
Cory
