May I ask if you got the replacement LCD used? Sometimes it doesn't
matter but I ask because a used one could be more prone to output
errors, so the simple answer would be to buy a new one. However, I would
also have to say (unfortunately) that horizontal lines which only
occasionally show up is due to a graphics processors error or one
inherent in the LCD itself.
I have seen a handful of LCDs that do this and there really wasn't a
fix except to replace the graphics board or the LCD (usually the
graphics boards). Refreshing the monitor also occasionally worked (as it
does in your lucky case) and if it didn't then you just lived with lines
on your screen. If this is the case I would just live with it as the
graphics chip on a laptop is pretty much impossible to replace unless it
uses an add-in card or you just replace the whole motherboard. Since you
just replaced the LCD and spent the time and money to do so I would just
live with it. It really would not be worth it to invest more into the
matter unless the laptop means that much to you.
Some quick fixes may be to check the board and LCD connectors for
shorts, dust, etc. or check for any overheating issues (sometimes
keeping a PC cool will prevent errors from arising or getting worse).
Hope this helps.
