    My Laptop Display one-third portion on right hand-side is not displaying. Initially there were colorful vertical lines; then gradually changing, it now shows blank white vertical bar (about 3 inches wide) so that I can't see what is on that right-hand side vertical area; what's the problem?

    Most likely it is the LCD display panel.

    First problem: Studio 1535. In general the hinges on the entire Studio line are fairly poorly designed and prone to gradual loosening and breaking.

    So while I agree that the problem is most likely with the internal display, it could just be a damaged display cable, if you are lucky.

    If you can output fine to an external display then you know, almost for sure, it's not the graphics chip.
