I bought this Dell Inspiron 9400 (17" TFT) laptop some weeks back. The problem is that after a few days of working with the laptop, it has developed a display problem..... It's a thin pink vertical line extended from the top screen to the bottom and has occured somewhere around the center of the screen!! This problem exists from the moment I switch on the laptop!! I tried connecting the laptop to another tft screen and it worked fine with it!! Need help guys!!!

Cause if they are gonna replace it, it's gonna take 2-3 weeks to bring in a new piece from malaysia or somewhere!! That's a long wait and I am an impatient boy !! :p

It is inevitable, get in touch with customer care and ask for a replacement. Prolonging would only delay it. They wont ask you to ship it back to them, so you can carry on your work somehow on it. So whats the issue?
