Toshiba Laptop video problem

[FCBLComish]

Hi,

I have a Toshiba Qosmio G15 Laptop. Lately, whenever I turn the computer on, there is a 2 inch wide white vertical stripe that covers part of the screen. This lasts about 5 minutes, and then goes away. It is only on the laptop LCD, and does not appear on an external monitor.

Now, I notice I have a very thin vertical line that will not go away on the right side of the screen.

I tried to google this, but I was unable to come up with anything similar.

The laptop is out of warranty.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
