The line has been there for weeks and as soon as i`ve mentioned it on help line the thing has disappeared(touch wood)--but thanks to you all who explained about the fault, will keep it in mind if it returns.

Sounds like a dodgy connection to me Dave and the movement (opening and closing) causes it.  As previously stated, connect to another monitor and see if it shows there, if the fault reappears.  Plenty of info on line re- "red line on right of laptop"  Google.

Ray,you could be right about the bad connection,mate.
Just wondering if my charger wire had anything to do with the line appearing--sometimes when plugging in to charge the laptop I found that the charging light did`nt activate unles I "twiddled" it a bit ----found the wires insided the piece going into the laptop connection was broken, ordered a new one on e bay and since then I`ve noticed that the red line has gone, whether this was the cause for the line I`m hoping it was and keeping everything crossed that it has gone--was`nt too keen on buying a new screen--too many birthdays, weddings and christenings coming up soon,need all my pennies for them
