I have vertical colored lines appearing on the Mini Ipad screen

I had the same problem with my first gen ipad mini. The solution was not to do a hard reset, but instead to push the sleep/off button until the red slider appeared, then slide to OFF. Wait a few seconds then push the sleep/home button until the Apple logo appeared. The lines were gone. I called Apple Support and they wanted $19 to troubleshoot over the phone and $99-$199 to bring to the nearest Apple store. This may not be a permanent fix, but it resolved the issue. I purchased my ipad mini from a local electronics store in May of this year. Believing it to be new and still under warranty I called the AppleCare store and discovered that it had "previously" been purchased in November a year ago and was no longer in warranty. As stated, I've had the device since May and it has worked wonderfully until today when I turned it on and it had colored vertical lines displayed on the screen. The lines would change color at times and even became a solid black stripe. The strange thing was that when taking a screen shot the lines were not noticeable and didn't show up on the picture. The Customer Care support tech told me to search other display issues. On one of the support threads it had something to do with videos/video apps and that is where I saw to do the SLIDER OFF. It worked even when the hard RESET had not.

Satellite M65-S9063 - Vertical white lines appearing down the screen!

Hi all - any ideas...
Model M65-S9063 Approximately 3 weeks ago a vertical white line appeared down the screen, it's around a mil thick.
Then yesterday a second one has appeared, slightly thinner this time. They're always there even after a reboot! It doesn't look as though any video is being displayed as they're always white. I was wondering graphics card perhaps? Or maybe the LCD itself?
Anyone seen this before??
Many thanks,

Hi!
You can simply determine the reason of this issue. Connect an external monitor the notebook and see what happens.
If you can notice the same error on the external screen, its a problem of the graphic card or display driver. If you dont have this issue on the external screen, you should go to an authorized service provider for exchanging the internal screen.
If you use a non Toshiba display driver you should remove it and test it with original Toshiba drivers.
I hope I could help you a little bit.
Bye

A vertical red line appeared on my iphone 4 screen..what is going on?

A vertical red line appeared on my iphone 4 screen..what is going on?

who knows what it is, and frankly, who cares? Bring the phone into Apple for replacement.

A bunch of colored lines appear and the computer doesn't respond.

1. Pavilion dv5 1127 cl
2. Vista
3. None
4. None
This started happening randomly, and I am honestly not sure why it is occurring. My computer randomly enters this state where the screen is filled up with colored lines, and all I can do is turn it off and restart it. It only takes like 20 minutes after being turned on again to re-enter this state, however sometimes it won't enter it for a while. (Hence me being able to post this)

Interestingly enough, the first dozen times it happened the screen was mostly back with evenly balanced colored lines. Just recently, earlier today, the screen took on a bluish tint as it displayed the lines, and even more recently a greenish tint (as seen in the pictures).

Looks like video chip failing. You might consider the service here which several members have used with good results. The link to his 'About Me' page has email & phone info if you want to ask opinion about your laptop before committing.

Vertical Color Lines in Monitor IMAC

Hi: I love macs but i have a problem with my IMAC:
A week ago i saw the first vertical line in monitor (yellow). Two day later i appear one more (purple), and today , when i turn on the mac, have another !!!!
Whats that? Its a problem with IMAC???
I friend told me that IMAC are bad and its not in guarantee!!!!
I want to buy another but if they are damish later that 18 months, i dont want to waste my money!
Please help!

Hello guys,
I hope my message can help you all fix your screen problem. I'm a mac lover and felt irritated when I saw all those vertical color lines appeared on my iMac screen, especially if the problem occurred not because of reckless usage but because of some production flaw, in one of Apple's outsource manufacturer, in Shanghai (I read somewhere). At that time my LCD screen had 18 lines in total!!!
Let me tell you my experience...
I called Apple Care support, because I live in Singapore I called local support, and told them about my problem. Then the guy asked me a few questions like what is my iMac serial number, my particulars, when did I buy iMac, what is my problem and so on. I said does Apple has a special warranty for this problem because I read in a forum I can get it fix for free.
Then, the guy told me he will call me back to see whether I am eligible for this warranty. Not long after that, the guy called me and told me a good news that I am eligible for this special warranty and can fix my LCD screen for free. Then the next day, I brought my iMac to a local Apple Repair Center. Three days later they called me and I picked up my iMac with new LCD screen without paying anything. That was so awesome I thought, the apple care support handled the problem nicely, the repair center staffs were very friendly, and above all that I get a BRAND NEW LCD screen for FREE!!!
I hope you guys who have the same problem with me can try to call Apple Care Support, eventhough your Mac's 1-year warranty has expired and you didn't buy an Apple extended warranty. This is a special case for Apple, you remember upthere when I mentioned about manufacturing defect.
Just for your information, I bought my iMac in early Dec 2005 and I called Apple Care in June 2008, so I have used it for almost three years this december. Maybe if your iMac still less then three years after you bought it this special warranty is still eligible for you, but for you who has more-than-3-year-old iMac you can try too. Another information is my iMac is third generation iMac with iSight, 17" screen, 1.9Ghz processor. So anyone who ever said that this warranty only valid for first generation iMac, this is not true.
Ok, lastly I hope you guys can fix this problem soon and be glad with your BRAND NEW LCD screen, free from Apple.
Hope this helps. God bless you all!

have a problem with my MacBook Pro.5,3 and monitor. Intermittently, the desk top screen becomes broken up into vertical sections, which appear in the wrong order, creating a haphazard picture.
The Apple icon, usually at top left corner, appears in top right corner in a strip including all that left hand. When the computer is restarted, the screen goes back to normal. But I have to move the mouse to the far left of the screen and then up until it reappears on the far right hand side of the screen so that I can hit shut down button.
It seems to happen randomly though always on desk top and sometimes when I move mouse and computer switches on from rest mode. My large flat screen is relatively new.
The video card on this computer, which is approximately two years old, is Nvidia FeForce 9400M.
Any help would be welcome as my usual source of assistance is not available and I am not well versed in workings of the Mac although I have used one for many years.

That sounds like a Hardware problem.
You may be able to confirm that with Apple Hardware Test, or make an appointmenst for a free Genius Bar evaluation.

TS1538 iPad not turning on. Vertical colored lines followed by a black screen. Help!

My iPad is a little less than a year old. While playing a game on my iPad, multicolored vertical lines appeared across left side of iPad followed by a black screen. After a few seconds the screen flicked back on....then a few more vertical colored lines and completely black screen again. Initially when pushing home button I heard Siri but after attempting several times to restart iPad, soon I no longer heard Siri and screen was just completely black and iPad seems to be dead. Battery was at 60%. I attempted to plug into wall and charge anyway, but that did nothing. I also attempted to plug into iTunes but iPad screen remains black and isn't recognized by computer or iTunes. (No apple logo shows up...nothing) Resetting by holding home button and reset switch for 10 seconds isn't working...I tried over and over holding both buttons for way over 10 seconds. Please help....is it dead? Anything else I can try on my own?

I have the same issue on my iMac 27" i7 late 2009 with ATI Radeon HD 4850.
Booting in safe mode is the only way to use it but the system can't do much and it's really slow.
From my findings it's for sure a GPU or VRAM issue so I've just bought a spare GPU board to replace the fault one.
Reballing could also solve this issue but usually you need also a new ATI GPU as well.
I'm not sure about nVidia GPU but it seems that you can replace it with a more powerful ATI Radeon HD 6970M card (if you use games to take advantage of it).
Your post is one year old and probably you already solved the issue so would be nice if you could share your solution for it.
best regards,
Franco

What causes vertical color lines on ipad2 and how do you remove them ?

What causes vertical color lines on an IPad. And how do you remove them ?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
If still present: Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

Don't believe it's a factor, but you should update your iOS.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5 or Later

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

White with vertical colored lines on Equium A60

Hi
I am new to this but really need your help. My laptop is about 18 months old and has always worked fine. Last week I plugged a broadband modem into it through an Ethernet cable and set up broadband. A couple of minutes after doing this when I looked at the screen again, it had gone all white with vertical colored lines down it. I have rebooted the machine etc and that is all I ever get now. As soon as I switch on, it just goes straight to white with these vertical colored lines.
I have tried connecting an external monitor to it and that works fine. The laptop is a Toshiba Equium A60. I am worried that the screen has blown, is it possible for a surge or something like that to come down the Ethernet cable and blow the screen?
Thanks
Adrian

Display functionality has nothing to do with Ethernet cable. Test with external monitor is very good and on this way you can see if maybe graphic card is responsible for that.
According to your description I believe that display is the problem. Of course, just intensive display test can give more answers.

Vertical Color Lines on my imported file how can i remove and edit

Vertical Color Lines on my imported file how can i remove and edit

If you haven't used After Effects before, you should understand that posession of a template is NO guarantee of success without prior AE knowledge. It appears you haven't used AE before.
The color bars indicate a missing file, and your screen shot reveals no text layers. Looking at the precomp names, opening the one called, "edit text" might be useful.
I will guess that the following would be even more useful:

Without knowledge of the AE basics, templates are pretty much useless.

Problems with Scrollable Content : colored lines appear

Hello,
We have a book with several Scrollable Content (around a total of 200).
The fact is that in many colored lines appear. These lines appear i disappear when changing article,
anyone have any solution?
THANKS

Hi
I had the same problem. I had pasted the scrollable content directly into the container frame, but the pasted content was slightly 'taller' than the container window (the pasted object group was maybe 0.012 pixels larger than the container, so very slight) this caused it to display the coloured lines when I moved it up or down, although left and right movement worked fine. Resizing so the pasted content was smaller and exact pixels not 0.123 px (or the same size) as the container fixed it.

My display has vertical colored lines then gray. What should I do?

My MacBook doesn't start up correctly. When the power is turned on, several thin rainbow colored vertical lines appear on the screen then the whole screen fades to white/gray. What do I need to do to remedy this?

HellO:
Take it in for diagnosis and service. The problem appears to be hardware.

Sync with iMac, Thin vertical colored lines = Catastrophe

Hey guys,
An interesting and tragic event occurred when i tried to sync my iPhone with my iMac last night. It started to sync then itunes froze, then my iMac's entire screen switched to thin vertical colored lines. The only way to fix it was to restart the computer.
I tried restoring both the phone and the mac. it appears to only happen when I'm actually adding stuff to the phone (podcasts, apps, etc.) Also, mt nano syncs perfectly.
any ideas?
Thanks,
Nick

I just started having this with my iPod Touch and my Macbook. I posted a message as well. Someone suggested I try de-authorizing and authorizing my computer. So far I am syncing and got further then before. Try that. Try to open itunes and then de-authorize, then re-authorize and play a song or something bought from Itunes, then dock your iPhohne and sync.

Hi, my ipod stop responding, and it shows vertical colored lines

Hi, I was using Facebook app in my ipod and suddenly it froze ans showed vertical colored lines on a white backgroud. What should I do, my computer also doesn't recognize it.

Try here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If stil problem, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.
If still problem time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. You likely havea hardware problem.
