    I have had my Lenovo Thinkpad X61S for about 4 months. Within 3 weeks of receiving it, I started getting one line, about 2 pixels wide, on the left hand side of the display, that appeared during start up and did not go away while I was using my laptop. I sent it back to Lenovo, got a new display attached, and sure enough, after a month of having the new display, a new line has appeared, same as before, but in a slightly different place, still on the left hand side of the screen.

    It is one vertical line, about two inches from the left side of the screen and about 2 pixels wide, running the entire vertical of the moniter. If I move the screen forward and backward, it gets a little wider. Is this just a screen issue, something in the way the screen is attached, or a videocard problem?
