Hello tomshardware, I am here to ask for tips regarding a problem in my laptop monitor showing vertical lines. My laptop is a little more than 2 years old now, and late last year the LCD hinge got a little crack. I suspect this is because 1) the laptop is wholly plastic and 2) the hinge probably lost some of its lubrication already.

The lines aren't there 24/7, and I usually use another monitor to do stuff. There are certain angles where it shows, and also certain angles where it doesn't. It looks horrible now, what do I do? Should I go back to where I bought my laptop and have it fixed there? Or is there another problem that isn't related to the damage on the hinge? Thank you so much!
