The fact that it did not show up on the screen dump is an indicator that this is due to a physical problem in the monitor.

I can only agree with whizkidd and govigov, I don't know what could have caused the problem but it's definately a fault with the screen itself and as such, it needs to go back to where you bought it from if you still can.

Thank for replies. Unfortunately the warranty ran out a month or so ago... Does anyone have an idea how much it would cost for a replacement screen approx (it's a Toshiba Satellite 17"), or as was mentioned could it be the connectors? With regard to removing the video card, unfortunately I don't know how to do this.

Good luck with your project! If it turns out to not be the conector, a new screen (with fitting) could cost anywhere between £100 - £200. I can't be more specific because it depends on whether you use toshiba's authorised repair centre or an independant one. I certainly wouldn't pay much more than £200 though.
If it's the GPU (laptops generally don't have graphics cards as such), you're probably looking at having a whole new motherboard fitted. Not cheap!
