Hi,

I am using a 20 inch Dell flat screen monitor plugged into my Dell Inspiron 9400.The screen is more than 5 years old and I have noticed some faint dark lines appearing in different positions after the laptop has been running for 30 minutes or more. Browsing the net for a solution has not been successful so I am wondering if it has reached the end of it's life. The problem is very prominent when I'm using PS and I am aware that I'm not exactly seeing a clear picture as I should. It's steadily been getting worse over the last couple of months so any help would be appreciated before I decide to get rid of it.
Regards,
Geoff.
