I need know about your operating system. Look as your screen is bad but do you can try of get new drivers, new accelerators for your lap video, because you said it goes away but as soon as i let go it comes back, to seem drivers accelerator problem. |

Are the vertical lines all in the same area all the time? Or does it change location from time to time? |

Sorry, you're all wrong. For future reference, this can't be a virus; viruses are software, and bending the laptop is not an interface maneuver. The computer has NO idea you're bending it, so a virus cannot detect such a thing as an "event", so to speak (I bet tons of ubergeeks are flying in a roflcopter right now)
This is what's happening. There's a contact in the back of your LCD that is being made that shouldn't be. Remove the rubber things on your screen, those will reveal some screws. Unscrew the thing, and then slowly snap off the front cover, exposing the LCD screen.
(If you're not careful you'll break the screen, but hell, who cares the screen sucks anyway--buy a new one and leave your comp disassembled in a safe place and you can just plop the new one in)
Now, if you're an expert with hardware, you can somehow figure out a way to relieve the offending area without doing something stupid like I did. What I did is jam a few business cards I had handy into the offending area.
It should be a part of the circuitboard in the same place as your offending area(s), but if not, just poke around with a pencil and see what it does. YES, you will have to do this plugged in and turned on! But don't worry, it's just a screen, see above if you somehow are crazy enough to fry the screen!!! When doing this, you should be looking for areas that make it WORSE when you do this--this is because the offending areas will get worse when further contact is made, so you gotta try and force that to happen. if you make it "permanently" worse, don't worry, you can always jam some more business cards, or improvise, come up with your own solution 
Now if someone could only tell me why my old Acer gives me direct read/write errors on whatever hard drive I throw in! |

@Gleb, Its probably because one or more drives on your laptop has fat32 file system which the default file system which acer configures it as. I think changing the file system should help, btw changing file system means formatting the hdd and loosing data....:D |
