What to do with lines on the screen

Asked By dainty feet 0 points N/A Posted on - 08/20/2011

Hello! I have a problem on the screen of my Toshiba Satellite (M70-144). It has lines coming down in a block about 3 inches wide.  Another block of lines again about 3 inches apart from the 1st one. I changed the screen resolution up to high 32 and got more lines instead. When I moved the mouse to slide up or down the page, it would leave a red trace.  Any fix for this?

If now you are not getting line in the display then The problem is in the TCP.
