Display of my laptop showing red horizontal lines..

[Kiran29]

My laptop's display is showing thin horizontal lines. These started from left hand side of the screen & the length is approx

3 inches.. for now i can see them only on the left hand side corner of the display but can see small line below are started appearing. Can you please help. Also if someone can help me with Live agent via some customer care number it would be helpful. I cant find any customer service numbers on Hp website which makes it so inconvenient

@Kiran29 Here's what you need to do, to identify the issue and resolve it accordingly:

• If not done already, check if it works fine on the BIOS screen to identify if it's either a hardware or a software issue:
  • If it works fine on the BIOS (Accessed while tapping F10 during a restart) it's a software issue & I suggest creating a new user account to check if that works better, for starters)
  • However, if it doesn't work within the BIOS either, I'm afraid it's a hardware malfunction.

While you respond to that, I have a few more steps that should help: 

Perform a power reset (no data loss) using these steps: Click here, proceed to next step if this works

Attempt to run a test from the HP hardware diagnostic tool, using this link: Click here for details.

If the issue appears on the diagnostics, it could again, determine a hardware failure,

If they don't appear on bios & the hardware tests passed: please update the BIOS & Chip-set drivers from the HP website using this link: Click here

if the issue persists, reinstall windows using the recovery partition or the recovery media to fix the issue,
use this link for details on performing the recovery: Click here
