Check Display Settings

The first step in fixing a laptop screen with stripes is to check the display settings on your computer.

Sometimes, the problem can be caused by incorrect settings, such as mismatched resolutions or refresh rates. To check the display settings, follow these steps:

• Right-click on the desktop and select "Display settings."
• Under "Display resolution," make sure the resolution matches the native resolution of your laptop screen. If not, change to the correct resolution.
• Under "Advanced display settings," make sure the refresh rate matches the recommended rate for your laptop screen. If not, change to the correct speed.

Update or Reinstall Graphics Drivers

If the display settings are correct, the next step is to update or reinstall the graphics driver.

If the drivers are out of date or corrupt, it can cause streaks on the laptop screen. To update or reinstall the graphics driver, follow these steps:

• Press Windows key + X and select "Device Manager."
• Expand the "Display adapters" category and right-click on the graphics card.
• Select "Update driver" and follow the prompts to update the driver.

If updating the driver doesn't work, right-click on the graphics card again and select "Uninstall device." Then restart your computer and Windows will automatically reinstall the driver.

Check for Physical Damage

If the steps above do not solve the problem, there may be physical damage to the laptop screen. Check for any cracks, scratches or other damage that might be causing the streaks.

If you find damage, you may need to replace the screen or take your laptop to a specialist for repair.

So, those were the ways you can fix a striped laptop screen. If none of these solutions work, you can seek professional help such as a repairman.
