My friends's laptop has developed fixed white horizontal lines on the screen .There was one line first and now it has increased to 6.Even if he boots to DOS the 6 lines are there.The LCD screen too has dimmed and it it makes it diicult to view.Can anyone tell me whether there is a problem with the LCD screen or is it some other problem.

This is a hardware issue. It sounds like your display drivers are going south.

I think the dispaly is dying, seeing as how you're getting more lines. The light tubes for the backlight are probably going.
