I have this VAIO for more than a year and a half ago. It has been working excellent. Since one month ago suddenly a magenta straight line appear from top to bottom on the screen. A week later since this happened a new straight line appeared but this was yellow. Since then more color lines had start to appear on the screen and by now I got five straight line, two magenta, two yellow and one cyan. They are not together but separately some cms along on the screen. I can working with no problem at all with my VAIO, but I'm concern if it could be the beginning of the end of my VAIO screen. Has anybody seen something like this??. Is there any chance to fix the VAIO screen without change it all?. Thanks in advance for any answer.

Update your video drivers first. If symptoms remain hook up an external monitor and see if problem is also present if you use a monitor. Post back what you find out.
