I have an MSI GE72 6QF Apache Pro laptop.
Yesterday, a singular vertical line of supposedly dead pixels appeared in the middle of the screen.
I'd like to point out that this has happened before, but last time it went away by itself after a few hours somehow? This time it wont go away and I can't seem to get rid of it.
I'm currently trying jscreenfix but it doesn't look like it's working, which I expected since it's a fix for stuck pixels, not dead ones like mine appear to be.
Of course, the line does not appear on an external monitor when connected, only on the laptop screen itself.
According to speccy, my full specs are:

CPU
Intel Core i7 6700HQ @ 2.60GHz

Here's some pictures so you can see exactly what it looks like:
Any suggestions on how to fix this besides sending it off for repairs would be great
