Video issue vertical distortion strip

Text:

MacBook Air 1.6 GHz Core 2 Duo 2GB RAM 80 GIG ATA 10.5.8

Unit has a 1 3/8 " vertical area of distortion from top to bottom in the center of the screen.  I don't have the micro display adapter, currently, to check the GPU on an external.  Problem persists when booted from optical drive.  There is some play in the hinge, more so on the left side. No noticeable change when moving the screen.  Some shooting horizontal white lines within the area, more so when it's the active window.  Has anyone seen this before?

Device:

-MacBook Air 13" Models A1237 and A1304
