Why is the side of my computer screen gray?

My computer screen had a black screen in the middle that streches from the very top to the bottom not the side?

  • The left side and right side are fine. I am using a toshiba with window 7.

  • Answer:

    based on ur description, it sounds like u r saying the screen becomes "normal" when u hit 'show desktop'. therefore the problem is hot hardware related. somehow, u changed some sw that causes the symptom. u need to get rid of that. If u can't find it, try a "repair" install. If that doesn't work a clean reinstall is in order.

Obviously the screen has had some kind of damage. As I do computer repair I replace a lot of laptop screens. I just replaced one that had the same problem. I have found that a lot of people damage their screen without knowing. The cause for screen damage is caused a lot by people placing their thumb inside the top of the lid to open the laptop. The pressure causes screen damage. The cost varies depending on the make, model, size and type of screen. The one I just replaced was 69.00. It was an Acer Aspire AS5253-BZ65615 and a 15.6 inch screen.

What did you do to it? Did you get liquid in there some how? Problem with screens is rearing almost cost as much as the screen itself. Best just replacing it
