Hi guys

I have had my CF-01 for about a month and was outside (in the shade) and tried to increase the screen brightness. I immediately got a thin horrizontal black line on the display. This shows up all the time including when booting up or shutting down. Anyone have any ideas on how to correct this? It's the standard setup with Win95. It is driving me nuts :(

Is the black line very thin, thinner than a row of pixels? If so, then it's not a bug, it's a 'feature'.

Look closely at the screen and you'll see a gap between two rows of pixels right in the middle. I believe this was put there during the design of the display so that when manufactured there would be a higher yield.

So, the long and short of it - if it's a line thinner than a row of pixels, every unit comes so equipped, if it's thicker it's not normal and you might be able to fix it.

It's about as thick as the lines that separate the headers on this page - it goes right across the middle of the display. As soon as it showed up I thought "oh oh". I reloaded the video driver and nothing changed.
