Solve : Blacked out portion of laptop screen?

Answer»

Hi: I have a three year old Acer laptop with XP. For the lasy few months a TWO inch strip on the right side of the screen is blacked out and that portion of the display cannot be viewed. However COMMAND functions in that area remain active - but hidden. For example, if you accurately guess where "x", close screen, is located and click the screen will close. I don't know whether this is a setting problem or a hardware problem with the display screen. What to do? THANKS Welcome to the forums.
Unfortunately, it sounds to me like the laptop screen is failing, and that can be EXPENSIVE to fix as you'd need a new screen.
Try an external monitor though, if you have a spare, and see if that has any issues.Quote

Right!
What is the laptop worth?
A new monitor may cost as much as a used laptop.Yup its phailing. Sell it on ebay for parts and then BUY a new laptop because I doubt that it would be worth it to fix
