Pink line down left side of screen?

I recently popped an Arch CD into my newly (sort of) built computer and the install went great. I rebooted, and I was presented with a thin pink line down the left side of my screen. What is this thing (sorry for bad quality pictures. I used a phone camera)?
Close Up:
Full Shot:
Notice it only appears after the kernel is done and the bootscripts start:
A few months back, I installed Arch on the same machine with no issues. I also installed Gentoo earlier today and configured X on this PC, and there was no pink line. NOTE: This also appears when I boot the latest live cd.
Kernel: 2.6.33-ARCH
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon X1200 onboard
Monitor connection: HDMI
Ask for more info

Maybe a driver problem? You could try an older kernel or the 2.6.34 one in [testing].
I have something similar here on my AppleTV, the whole screen will go pink and then be reset to black during the boot sequence, pretty bizarre, happens with all nVidia GPU drivers (nv, nvidia, nouveau). Not entirely the same thing, but it's pink too...
Yeah what I probably will do is downgrade the kernel to an earlier version, most likely 2.6.32, because that has been known to work for me

Horizontal lines on left side of screen

I am getting horizontal lines on the left side of my screen all of a sudden. Any ideas on how to fix?

move the screen, do the lines change?
take a screenshot. If its not present in the screenshot, its the
monitor or its feed cable.
if it is, its the logic board.
moving the screen back and forth, if it changes, its the monitor or cable of same or at connection to logic.

Vertical dotted line along left side of screen

Hey everyone! I have a HP Envy d7 select edition with WIndows 8 OS. Brand new, just purchased last week. It already has a line in the screen and I don't know how to fix it. I'm also unable to access my university's network because it needs a new update (even though I just updated it and it was fine the day before.) WIndows update is not working for me. The program just freezes when I try to check for updates. I noticed the line after this occured. Thanks for any help!

Hi there @alphy13
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
I understand that you are seeing pixels on one sude of the built in display, and that external monitors connected to the notebook are fine. I am happy to help with this.
Please post the full product number for your notebook. See the following, if you need help with that information.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Since the lines do not appear on the external displays, it shows that your notebooks graphic adapter is good, and also your driver. It may be a setting for the resolution of your primary display, but it is more likely that the display is going bad. But to help determine which it is, take a look at the following pages and see if anything matches, or helps to resolve the issue.

How do I get iCal to print the calender just as it appears on the screen, not as lines down the side to indicate length of event? I like the whole bubble of time approach as it is on the screen.

How do I get iCal to print my calendar just as it appears on the screen? I like the whole block-out method rather than just a line down the side indicating the time devoted to an event. Is there any way to change the style of how it' sprinted?

Left side of screen dim/slow response during standby

left side of screen gets dim during standby, slow to responde after awakened. anyone else experiencing this?
By the way, I've had the screen replaced and the monitor (cable?) replaced as well. I tried to get a new machine but they said that I had to have THREE major problems before they would replace the entire machine. BS

Mine has this, too, with an area about 2/5 of the way over that is dim after being off for a time. I've found that running the brightness up and down a few times tends to speed up the time it takes for it to adjust to a more averaged brightness. It is a bit strange that it takes so long for only a portion of the screen to warm up, and even then there's always a slight hint at anything lower than max that it isn't quite even (though it is less noticeable if you happen to be just left of center, as is my case.)

I bought Lion from App Store recently and installed it successfully on my MBP. After few days when I left my machine running Lion from morning till evening I see a thin green line on the left side of the screen. I tried searching the web and tried few options like restarting the machine, resetting NVRAM and doing Apple hardware test (By pressing D while the machine boots). The Apple hardware test did not detect any problem. The green line still exists.
Please suggest me how to get rid of green line.

Hi Brent,
I took it to apple service center. They did some checks and found out that the display has gone bad and they replced it with new one.
Did you try connecting other display (may be Apple Display or Dell monitor) using an adapter? In my case the Apple service center people tried doing it and the display was appearing just fine without any green line. So the fault was in my MBP display.

Red vertical line on left side of iPhone4 screen.

I have a thin, red vertical line on the left side of my iPhone screen that appears on a black or dark background. Anyone know what causes this and should I send my phone in for repair? I've had this phone for about 3 months. Thanks!
