Please Help - Nintendo Switch OLED screen flashes a white line when turning on

[gabrieltkd95]

Hi, I recently bought a Switch OLED and just noticed that while turning it on, a thin vertical white line flashes for just a second on the left edge of the screen. The line appears immediately after the Nintendo logo disappears, and then disappears. It only happens for a fraction of a second when I turn on the console, at that precise moment.

Apart from that, the screen works perfectly fine. While I play the screen does not have any type of problem. It looks perfect, without flickering and strange lines, and the colors are fine too.

Is this normal or something I should worry about?

RETURN IT ASAP. We had same issue. Son bought one came home so excited and got that line. He kept it over night because store was closed by then. It worked so he at least played with it. Next day to get it ready to exchange the lines had multiplied. The guy at gamestop just shrugged it off as ya that seems to effect a few of the new OLED models.

Wow, really? Did you only have that one line when you started the console? Didn't the screen give you any other problems?

Yes started with one line and by the next day over 30% of the screen. We returned it and the exchanged one is perfect no issues.
