Black Vertical Line on Screen
My Dell laptop has a black vertical band that is about 1 inch wide that appears and then disappears near the start button area. It blacks out the left side of screen.
Please advise.

Attach an external monitor -- if the fault doesn't show, it's the display panel that's bad - you'll need a new one.
If it does show externally, you have a bad video chip or card - replace the mainboard or video card, whichever your system has.

Hi shugedge,
You will find VGA port or DP port on the laptop. Wherein you can use it connect an external display. Please reply us with the system model so that I can check and advise you.
