Hello,
So here's my problem; for several months now, my PC has been leaving gray trails around (almost) every element displayed in an open window.
I would like to know how to solve this problem.
Is it serious, should I take it to get repaired? (the warranty is about to expire but not yet... so please advise me quickly..)
I have Windows XP. I don't know what additional information to provide you, thank you for your help.

Hello everyone,
Having the same problem for a few weeks now, my curiosity led me to this topic... I was intrigued by the solution that involved changing the cable to solve the issue. In fact, I've been using this screen for two or three years and it has only been a few weeks since white (or gray) streaks started appearing. At first, I thought my screen was showing signs of wear, but if changing the cable can fix everything, that proves that's not true...
Being the frugal person I am, I checked my cable, which doesn't seem to have any faults, and I lightly manipulated the small black plastic "coil" located a few centimeters from the screen side connector, and there was a miracle!!! No more streaks! So it seems to be a matter of static electricity (or something like that) accumulating around this coil that needs to be "discharged" by handling it with your fairy fingers, hehe.
