Flickering vertical lines on screen HP Spectre 13X2

Hi all
Just go my new HP Spectre 13X2 two days ago.
Today when I turned It on after it was in sleep mode - 5 flickering vertical white lines appeared on screen.
Sometimes they get weaker, sometimes stronger.
From looking up in google saw it happened to other consumers - but couldn't find any help/explanation and so on.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Mikale_Mik, welcome to the HP Forums. I understand you are getting flickering vertical lines. What is the model or product number? What version of Windows is installed?

Fix for vertical lines and screen freeze on 2008 iMac after Yosemite upgrade?

Mavericks was running slow with iPhoto. Did the Yosemite upgrade. Vertical lines on screen before everything freezes except mouse. Mouse continues to respond but nothing else, so forced to power off. Tried a revert to Mavericks but that seemed to tick it off (made things worse). Read 3 year old threads that graphics drivers may be at fault, but not sure how to remedy that. Any ideas?

Hi wokingmac,
If you are having an issue with your iMac display not responding appropriately, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

HT3964 vertical lines on screen

Monitor has developed vertical lines down screen.Was told by Apple Store that it would cost $85 to look at it and being so old parts would most likely be available. Are parts still available?

In all fairness, I think you may agree that a 6 year life for a computer and monitor is generally considered reasonable, even in the PC world. And I seriously doubt, if the monitor itself is failing, you'd be able to find the parts to fix a 6 year old LCD PC monitor. Best wishes.
Hope this helps

Green vertical lines on screen

dvd player sony model dvp ns57p has green vertical lines on screen. any suggestions. get a new playler blueray?

Please try the steps below:
Adjust the color settings on your TV to make sure the issue is not a simple screen adjustment.
Make sure the disc player is properly connected. The disc player should be connected directly to a TV or Audio/Video (A/V) receiver. It should not be connected to a VCR. This issue can occur if a video signal encrypted with copyright protection passes through a VCR.
NOTE: When the disc player is connected through an A/V receiver, you should also check the connections between the A/V receiver and the TV.
If using A/V cables, check that the red, white, and yellow plugs are securely connected to the same colored jacks on both the disc player and TV (or A/V receiver).
If using component cables, check that the red, green, and blue plugs are securely connected to the same colored Y/P B /P R jacks on both the disc player and TV (or A/V receiver).
If using an S-Video cable, check that it is securely connected to both the disc player and TV (or A/V receiver).
Try playing a different disc to see if the issue only occurs with the one disc.
If the issue is occurring with more than one disc, replace the cables connecting the disc player to the TV (or A/V receiver).
NOTE: When the disc player is connected through an A/V receiver, you should also try changing or replacing the cable between the A/V receiver and TV.
Try connecting the disc player to different input jacks on the TV (or A/V receiver) and change the input mode accordingly to determine if the issue is with a particular input jack.
Try playing another video source (such as a VCR) to determine whether or not the issue only occurs with the disc player.
If the issue occurs with other video sources, then the problem is with the TV (or A/V receiver).
If the issue only occurs when using the disc player, then the disc player may require service.

Vertical lines on screen? Help!

Anyone have these awful vertical lines on screen? They just showed up. If you take a screen shot you can't see them. How do I fix this? This happened when I was activating and syncing phone.

Those are temporary fixes and will get you up and running. I think you should call Apple or bring it back to the Apple Store BEFORE you try and resolve the vertical lines problem.
I had the same problem come up after my MacBook did not go to sleep and after force shutting it down, several times I ended up with the vertical lines problem. It may be a prelude to the Random Shutdown problem as my MacBook developed that problem about two weeks after the vertical lines problem.
Just a thought...

Brand new iMac has hundreds of vertical lines on screen...?

I know from flipping thru the archives this is a common issue, but usually on older models - I just purchased and turned on my iMac for the first time today, and it worked fine for a couple hours before randomly acquiring a complete screenful of flickering, multicolored, vertical lines. I'm performing a hardware test as we speak (I'm posting from my four year old iBook, which ironically still works) but pending those results, what can I do? Am I going to have to exchange this brand new computer for a NEW new one?

I bought mine last week and it works flawlessly. If I were you I would not bother with any diagnostic tests and just return it to the store and get a brand new NEW iMac since you just purchased it today. If you bought it online then there's little bit more hassle that you have to go through but even if you can get the problem all fixed by yourself, I would just return it to apple. Good luck.

Vertical lines through screen

I have 2 small gray vertical lines down my iphone6 screen and the screen and buttons in that area won't respond. Has anyone else had this problem and is there an easy fix?

Hello elaforce,
It seems your display has vertical lines and will not respond. Based on the information you have provided, it appears your iPhone needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

IPhone 6 vertical lines in screen

My iPhone 6 is new out of the box less than 12 hours ago, immediately it had a thin gray line running from top to bottom and now this morning there are two of them that come and go as they please (more coming than going). tried resetting it completely, tried the home/power button reset and got nothing :-( can anyone help me out? Brand new phone I want it to work right

Thanks to those of you who have responded. It is just frustrating because I absolutely love this phone. I just was shocked to see these ever changing colored vertical lines and sometimes just light grayish stripes throughout my screen. They come and go. Constantly changing, sometimes disappearing and then showing up again in a different app or simply when I pick up my phone after leaving it sit. The problem is where to start? I'm thinking straight to the nearest Apple Store on Monday morning.

TBD showing flickering vertical lines

My TBD works well when first started up, but after a few moments begins to flicker with vertical lines. They seem to correspond to the color it is trying to display, but one solid color from top to bottom on the display.
Occasionally it will get better, but only briefly. Eventually it becomes "stuck" on one set of lines and will remain that way until I unplug and replug.
I can't find anything online - any thoughts?

Hello trogas,
It sounds like your Thunderbolt display will start to flicker after a few minutes of being connected. I found an article with some steps you can take for issues with external displays.
I recommend following the steps in the section titled "No video or no signal, image distortion, 'snow,' or flickering" in the article listed below and specifically the steps to reset your system:
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
You can find the full article here (this article also covers internal displays, so you can skip any of the steps applicable only to an internal display):

New 21.5" imac vertical line on screen

I just returned from my local Apple store after checking out the new imac computers. I noticed on many of the 21.5" imacs that there was a vertical line down the left side of the screen that looked like burn-in. It's about one and a quarter inches from the left side of the screen. It is clearly visible using any background color except white. Apple store employees and two Apple Geniuses had no idea what was causing it and hadn't noticed it themselves until I pointed it out to them. They said they would investigate. Has anyone else noticed this? It was on about half of the computers that I looked at in the store.

The link posted by Carolyn above is an old issue with G5 iMacs, which has nothing to do with this new issue. This new issue is apparently a fairly widespread manufacturing defect in the new 21.5" Silverback iMacs. I just bought one for my parents this week, and it unfortunately suffers from this same defect. A single pixel vertical line running from top to bottom, about 1.5" from the left side of the screen. On a light background the line is bluish, on a dark background, the line is red. Serious issue, I hope Apple gets on this one quickly.

Thin vertical lines on screen

Hi,
I have a 3 year old G4 laptop. I now have 4 thin vertical lines appearing on my screen. The number of lines has slowly expanded in the last 4 months. I took my laptop to the genius bar and they told me that this is simply light pixels burning out and they could fix it but it would cost over $300.
Do all Mac computers have this problem after 3 years or so? Is there an alternate solution to the problem?
Mike
Thanks for your help.

Hi Michael,
Three years ... it varies. Besides BDAqua's suggestion, you might try looking for an Apple reseller, here's the link for that: Apple Retail and Resellers

Iq500 pc Vertical lines on screen

Hello, just recently vertical pink/white lines have appeared on my whole screen monitor.My screen resolution is 1680 by 1050 and my screen refresher rate is 60 hertz.
When I turn off my pc and restart, the screen is fine but after a few minutes it returns to the vertical line state.
I have also just noticed as the pc starts up, the blue background is all smudged in some places like water marks etc.
My warranty ran out one month ago, any advice/possible solutions would be greatly appreciated.

I posted a question regarding my iq522, pink/vertical lines appearing on my screen.
I sent pc off to hp for repair and the problem was a faulty lvds cable which was causing picture corruption. This cable was replaced.
My pc is only 13 months and I was wondering would anyone know if this would be deemed a minor or major fault/repair.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated,unfortunately I couldn't get any feedback from hp regarding the repair.

Multi colored vertical lines on screen

Hello,
I have a Macbook Pro 5,1 that has multi colored vertical lines going down the screen. I've looked at numerous posts that refer me to the "EM80 article" but they seem to be referring to the Imacs when referencing this article. I tried taking a screen shot to showcase the problem but the multi colored lines do not appear on the screenshot. Is any one else having this same problem? Is my lcd broken (I did not drop the computer), could there be a lose cable, is there a problem with the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics card? Thanks for the help.

The fact that the lines don't appear in a screenshot means it is a physical problem. Such as the lcd controller, backlight, etc. As long as you've got the latest firmware updates it's unlikely you'll find any fix other than apple repair.
