A thin, bright green vertical line appears on the screen and stays there permanently.

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Check for Physical Damage

Look for tiny cracks near the top or bottom of the line.

2

Update Software

Rarely, a software glitch causes this, but it is almost always hardware.

3

Check Warranty/Recall

Some models (like Samsung S20/S21) had known defects and might be repaired for free.

When to See a Technician

The green line is a sign of a failed connection in the OLED panel's flexible circuit.
