it appeared about 8 months ago, has progressed just slightly. It's not noticable but i'm just curious as what it is and if anything else has/had it? i don't know why it's there and i'm fairly sure this laptop hasn't fallen or anything. thanks.

    if you are lucky then a cable is just pressing to the back of the LCD panel. Remove the LCD panel and check if there is a cable there. 
    If you are not so lucky then it is permanent physical damage to the LCD panel, which was caused by external force.

    i hope so, but i doubt it's a cable, it just doesn't look like it in person. it has progressed just about maybe 4 mm. i've never seen any body around have this sort of streak. hopefully it stays put but i can always get a better LCD, the upgrade for this laptop has a higher HZ monitor but i'd prefer not ***** around with that sort of stuff just yet. i don't remember hitting the laptop but you never know.
