Question White Vertical Line

[Panash]

I have a white vertical line on my laptop and it is present the moment I boot. Going to BIOS did not get rid of it. Pressing along LCD bezel did not get rid of it. I did a screen mirror to my TV and there was no vertical line on the TV. I then re-installed Windows 10 and updated my drivers. Same white vertical line as soon as I boot. I then opened up the laptop and detached and re-attached the LCD cable connector to the motherboard and LCD screen. Still the same. Finally, I bought a replacement LCD cable and replaced the original one. Still the same. At this point, I am assuming that the vertical white line is a hardware issue with the LCD screen. Would you agree? Is there something else that I should try before getting the replacement screen? By the way, my system is an HP Envy 17t - k100.

You did well above the normal troubleshooting . White line in Bios screen would have been enough for me to replace the screen. Does the pc work except for the white line?

Yes. The laptop works well.

that should be just loose/broken connection on panel, saw someone putting rice between bezzel and lcd panel, but ye you will need to remove bezel and check connection on both sides of that white line, there is cable attached, put pressure on it

I decided to buy a replacement screen. I found one on eBay that has the same part number (B173HW02), but a different H/W. Mine states 5B, but the one I am looking at states 2A. The size 17.3 is the same, the resolution 1920 x 1080 is the same, and the connector type 40-pin is the same. Does the H/W make a difference? Is the one I am looking to buy compatible or should I find one that has the same H/W?

H/W numbers can indicate LCDs may have different brackets alignment, different video connector and/or pins, special EDID, etc . I cannot help you more than that.
