Hi I purchased a HP ZD8000 laptop in August last, and I've never had any problems with it before. But last night I was watching a movie on it, and out of nowhere a 1 pixel thick, green line appeared on the screen extending from top to bottom.
Ive tried adjusting the display resolutions and rebooting and turning the cimputer off without any success. Anyone know what the problem is?

Your problem is that you bought an HP computer.
But in order to fix this, send it in for warranty work.
