I have colored vertical lines starting on left side of screen.

Colored vertical lines on left side of screen are getting worse. Can not see the bar at the top of the screen and it is difficult to type in web sites.

Thanks.

Sadly, this sort of issue generally ends in one of two outcomes. Either the screen is damaged and needs to be replaced (best case scenario) or the graphics processor is dying, which I don't believe can be replaced without changing the entire laptop mainboard. (I could be wrong about that, as my expertise lies mainly with desktops.)

As a "Hail Mary," try updating your video driver. http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/driv...

If that doesn't work, it may be time to replace the screen. Try taking it to a computer repair shop to see if they can test it to see if either the screen or the graphics processor is faulty. You might be able to go from there.

My bet is that the screen is broken. Don't fret, (well, not TOO much) it is entirely possible to replace it yourself. The trick will be finding a replacement. Good luck!

There is a third possibility in the ZG5 world. Check out and make sure the VGA cable is in good condition and properly seated. See appropriate guides on this site to disassemble and re-assemble (and note - you don't have to completely disassemble to be able to see and reseat the motherboard side connector!). I have "repaired" two "broken" ZG5 screens by cleaning and reseating properly the motherboard side connector - cost: zero plus some of my time. This is definately the first to check. If the display does not get any better, the next step in my opinion is to replace the VGA cable. It gets constant wear and tear due to its positioning and either the wiring or the connectors could easily be broken so that the faut is not immediately noticeable. Cost is not so much, at least if you can salvage the cable from another broken ZG5.
