Green line on LCD screen

[w00tboy]

My friend bought an lcd screen on ebay, silly boy, and now its got a bright green line permanently down the left hand side one pixel wide about an inch from the edge. Is there anything he can do or is it as I suspected and a new screen is required?

If he didn't do anything software wise, it's probably harware related, and therefore he is hosed. A thought: Mount it on a wall in his room and turn it into a DVD screen. I did that with an old LCD with a missing row. You don't notice it because you're watching the movie.
