I have an older Dell laptop. For a year or more there's been a line running across the screen when it's been tilted at a certain angle. If I tilted the screen forward or back, the line went away. I had the laptop in a range bag with other stuff on it earlier this week, and now the line doesn't go away.
I'm assuming it's actually the screen itself, and not anything in the system or in any components that control the monitor, and thus I can't do anything about it. Am I right?
It's not a big deal, just a bit of a distraction for now.
