If it's lost all traces of red color, this means one or more of your phosphor guns is dead.  It's time to replace the monitor.  I'm unsure, but I don't think any repair shop will fix this for you...or even can.  Don't try to mess with it yourself.  It can be fatal even if it's unplugged.

download the current driver for your video card. if that doesn't work your monitor or video card might need replacement. Also try to degause your monitor if its not a plasma screen.

if the streak is just like one pixel wide, then no, there's sadly nothing you can do about it... sometimes that happens\n\nif it's under warranty, call dell about replacing your screen for you

If you have it set to the highest level of brightness on the monitor and it still isn't bright enough you likely have a failing monitor. I have had the same problem before but there wasn't anything I could do. You can also see if there is a reset option but I don't think it will help.

Try turning on the monitor, see if it is plugged in right.  If none of that works don't hit it with a sludge hammer, bring it into a computer store.

You need a new monitor. Plus that is a fire hazard if it has a short in it. \nIf you have set your resolution settings and it didn't work, did you try setting the specs on the monitor itself.\nFind a different monitor and see if you still have the problem, if you do, its beyond your monitor.\nHowever like  i said before replace it before it burns your house down.

Ok.. if it is a work computer, then you really need not worry. Contact your IT department and tell them your monitor is giving you trouble. They'll fix it for you.\n\nIt could also be that there is no problem with the monitor. \nProbably some magnetic disturbances around the monitor led it to be distorted.\n\nWhat you can do is, leave the monitor off. unplug it. for about 15 - 20 minutes. until cools down completely. \nThen turn it on. \nThen "Degauss" it\n\nIf you dont know how to degauss, then read further. \nGo through the "Menu settings" of the monitor. \n\neach monitor has different way to access the menu settings, so i dont know how to do it on yours because you did not mention any specs of your monitor.\n\nbrowse through the settings to find for something called "Degauss" and select it.\n\nThe monitor may flickr for a second and come back on .. .. \nIf that does not help.. then your monitor is DEAD. \n\nhope that helps.

You may need to reinstall your video card or monitor drivers.  Check your floppies and CD's for them, if you don't have them, then check the manufacturers' websites out.  You can usually find your model information on the rear decal of your monitor and on the video card itself.

It could be your video card has died.  Or try a new monitor cable.

It might be a single resolution burned out of the screen. I hope I'm wrong. The screens are so cheap now, I doubt it's worth fixing..Good Luck.

Does your monitor do or show anything at all? Or is it completely dead. Check the cords and make sure they didnt fall off. When you turn the computer on do you get a boot up screen and then it goes dead? If so the monitor is ok. The monitor driver my be corrupt or deleted itself, or you might have a bad video card. Try this turn the computer and the monitor on and unplug the monitor cord from the back of the computer if the monitor is ok you should get a message on the screen telling you that it is disconnected from the computer, if you get this message then the cord or the video card or driver is bad. If you have a friend with a computer ask them if you can borrow their monitor. Disconnect your monitor and reconnect it using their cord if it still wont work your cord is fine if it works you then need a new cord. If it still wont work connect their monitor and see if it works if it does then you need a new monitor if it does the same thing that yours is doing, then it is something else and not the monitor or the cord. If their monitor doesnt work either then it could be the the video card or the driver. To see if it is the driver or the video card since you cant check it in the device manager because your monitor isnt working do this. Notice where the cord plugs into the back of the computer,open the computer up hopefully you have a plug in video card (plugs in slots on the board and can be removed) the other kind is a onboard video card which is built onto the board. If you have a removeable card be carefull and pull it out of the computer. Start the computer up and let it run for a couple of minutes then turn the computer off this will clear a corrupt driver from the system bios. Turn the computer back on if the card is ok it and the driver is bad it will ask ask you if you want to reinstall the driver click yes it will the ask you from where click MS web site also click on the C drive make sure that you have it so it searches all the C drive. It will then do a search and if it finds the driver it will ask you if you want to install it, click yes, after you are done, restart the computer if the monitor still doesnt work more then likely the video card is shot.You can find a decent one for around 60-70 dollars at Best Buy. If you have an onboard card then you have no choice but to try a new card. There should be a slot on the board for it just make sure when you plug the cord back in to plug it into the new card and not the onboard connection. As for copying the files dumbbutt4321 hit it on the head go to radio shack and by cross over cables they plug into the usb connectors!!\nP.S. once again I have read answers from people that DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. You can NOT switch a hardrive from 1 computer to another without formatting it.. The reason being is that EVERY CPU has a unique identifier on it that installs it self into the BIOS and on to the hardrive. It matches the CPU and hardrive together. Because of this a hardrive will not work if you take it out of one computer and put it into another one without formatting the drive. You have to erase that unique identifier off the drive so that when you switch them the CPU will do its thing and put the id on the new drive so it will match up again! I wish that all you BACK YARD so called computer geeks would leave this stuff up to those of us that actually spent months and alot of money going to school to learn computers and and take tests to get certified. All you manage to do is f+ck up the peoples computer more then it is already!!!!!!!                                                                            GOOD LUCK!!!!\n                             ZEUS

If you're talking about a thin red line on your screen, it may be your monitor.  Check to make sure that the monitor is plugged in securely.  If you have a spare/loaner monitor, plug that one in instead and see if it does the same thing.  If it does, then it's probably a problem with your graphics card.  If it doesn't, then it's the monitor.

you may need to re-install the display driver.

The monitor light is going to fail soon. You have to replace it. It costs like $800 to replace it.\n\nThere is a tiny little button that the monitor presses to turn the monitor light off when its in standby or when you close the laptop cover. That might be busted. If it is, that will be a cheap fix.\n\nOtherwise, the monitor light is going bad and thats pretty steep.

go to device manager from control panel, control panel>system>device manager>display adapters and either rinstall driver or rollback driver. If that doesn't fix it, the in graphics properties, change you monitor driver to plug and play. that should fix you up, if not, email me if you find any other problems and I can talk u through them
