This horizontal dotted line has appeared across my screen. It doesn't show when connected to an external monitor so it is definitely a problem with the screen. Is there any solution to this other than changing the screen?
My laptop is HP Probook 455 G3

Do you have same error pattern on external monitor connected via vga/hdmi ?
In your case: Service is required !

- [ Always recommended ] Thermal paste for CPU GPU and bridges should be renewed
- [ Always recommended ] The function of the fan(s) must be checked
- Display cable check or replace
- Screen check or replace
- General cleaning ...
HP warranty valid -> Contact HP Support
HP warranty expired:
If you can't do that, you should have it serviced by a professional notebook (chip level) repair store.
Good luck
