Check the monitor settings, the controls on the monitor, not the computer software, and press degauss.

Ok you have three possible causes... \n1. Check and see if the monitor is puged in all the way, this is probaly the most common one! Loose fitting connections.\n2. Your monitor might be going on ya, also a common one.\n3. Your actual monitor port (computer side) is gone or going... now, in responce to that. If you have an off board card, thats cool, because you can just go to your fav computer store, and get a new one. But its if on board, or intergrated, thats RIGHT TO THE MOTHER BOARD, and well, that means new mother board.... However, you should take it into compusa to get a teck to look at it,  (Being a teck myself, the best way is to have a "Computer nerd" look at it).  NEVER TAKE ANYTHING TO BEST BUY.... EVER... you'll be sorry!

is it still in warranty? if you still have your receipt you might be able to fix it under warranty; otherwise you'll find that it's much more expensive to replace a cracked monitor than it is to buy a new one!!!

It is possible that your problem might be coming from your video card.  Try testing the monitor on another computer to see if it recreates the same problem.  If that is the case you might need to get another video card.  If not, I personally would pitch the monitor and get another one.  Unless you know a lot about electronics messing around with it is ill advised.  There are large capacitors inside monitors that can seriously injure you.\n\nHope this helps and GL :-)

The problem is caused by a broken wire within the monitor cable, this usually happens in or near the plug that connects to the computer.\nEssentially the monitor produces three colours, mixing them together in various intensities produces all the other colours. There are 2 wires in the cable for each colour plus a few more for syncronising it all. One of the wires that controls blue is damaged, it's probably just come off inside the plug, replacing the cable will cure the problem.

short answers\nlaptop screen - no, not at all - impossible\ndesktop (CRT) ruin? discolor, yes.\nand permanently. (unless you have a degaussing coil)\nhard disk....if it touches the platters ya, but not outside the casing unless it's a supermagnet.\nps, ignore Xeon's paste, it's from a website and has no relevance.\nI challenge anyone to prove me wrong

It sounds as though you may have bent a pin when you hooked up the monitor cable to the computer. Try unhooking it and look in the 15 pin plug. THe pins are very thin and can bend easily. If you have a bent pin, use a pair of thin needle nose pliers the straighten it out. If this is not the case, there is a good chance that you bought a bad monitor. Unfornuatly all you can do for that is to take it back and get another. Sorry that I am not more help.

Get a magnet and try it.\n\nRead the last sentence of the link below:

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.

there should be a function button on your keyboard labeled "fn."  hold that and on the f1-f12 keys look for one that looks like it has a monitor on it.  press that until your laptop monitor comes back

I hope I'm wrong, But if the bars that you are talking about are on both sides, that means that the circutry that explands the horizontal are defective... if it is a desktop, try a different monitor, probably you'll find out that the problem goes away, which only means that is time for an upgrade... if it is on a laptop... is even worse... you'd have to find someone to repair it... but like I said, hopefully I'm wrong...

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.

Ok, this is going to sound weird, but get a powerdrill and tape 2 magnents to the drill bit.  Rev it up all the way and then move it coloser to the computer.  It will "degause" the monitor.  This is handy if your monitor doesent have a built in degauser

I would say you contact DELL, coz it could be a safety hazard issue here. They might even offer you a replacement in this case. Just try ur luck.

the problem may be the ribbon cable going from the computer to the screen. check if it is broken. You may still use the laptop with an external monitor.
