I'm jumping into this conversation late, so I don't know if my problem is the
same as the "jitter" noted here --- does anyone know what could be causing a
faint white line to scroll down my SE screen?  It's a horizontal line across the
entire screen, moves rather quickly.  What could the problem be?

(Naturally, it's no longer under warranty)...
