Vertical lines running down the screen

I am seeing a few vertical lines running down the screen, from top to bottem. They are quite thin (one yellow, one purple and one light blue). Do you know what causes this and what the cure is.
Thanks & happy holiday,

  • Thin black line running down the screen

    Just did latest update and noticed on the reboot a thin black line running down the left hand side of the screen 8cm in apex.
    Any one else got an issue or fixed the issue?

    Sounds like a problem with the display. Contact your local Apple Store or AASP and make an appointment to have the display looked at. > Apple - Support - iMac - Service FAQ

  • Why do I have a thin blue line running down the screen?

    There is a thin blue line running vertically down my imac screen a little to the right of the centre. It disappeared for a while - i think after I tapped a certain key - but then re-appeared and will not go away. What is it? How do I get rid of it? Mark

  • First day... Lines running down the screen.

    Sigh.
    So I get my BRAND NEW, 2.0 GHz Black Macbook today, and I'm wondering if something is wrong with it.
    In looking at my screen, it appears that there are lines panning downwards, like it is progressive scanning. (They're a lighter color, and don't appear to be normal)
    The lines are horizontal, and run from top to bottom and at the right angle it's obvious that it is going on.
    Just wondering if I should take this in and it is repairable, or if others have experienced this problem or what...
    Man this *****.

    If you have a new machine (within 14 days) and you're having a problem, you should be able to have Apple replace it for you. I have heard of other people experiencing similar problems (albeit only a few)... but if you feel your machine is clearly behaving in a way it should not, there is no reason not to bring it back to Apple and have it replaced.

  • Squiggly line running down my screen

    I've just noticed a random squiggly line* running down the screen on the bottom half center of my iMac (Intel Core i5 27 inch) screen. I don't believe I'd noticed it before, had this iMac for a few months now. It's very light, more noticeable when the screen happens to be dark but it's definitely there. It's not ON the screen, almost seems like its pressed between two plates if the screen were made of two plates. Tried different screen savers and desktops, it's most definetely there. Haven't had this iMac 6 months, am I still under warranty? And what with the squiggly line??? Anyone? Thank You! MG
    *imagine a particularly intoxicated snail traveling from point-a to point-b and the line it would leave behind. THATS what it looks like. And no, a nail hasn't been anywhere near my iMac

    "Squiggly line"? Only an Apple Tech can tell you. You have a one-year warranty. If you bought Apple Care, you have longer coverage. In any event, call Apple, tell them what you see, and when you bought the computer. It's really a matter for them to resolve.

  • Vertical black line running down imac screen

    This morning i noticed for the first time (wasn't there yesterday) a thin black vertical line running down my 21' imac screen.
    Any suggestions?

    Take a screen shot & view that in Preview, move the Preview window around, if you see 2 black lines it a Video card/VRAM problem, if the line does not move moving the pic around then it's the LCD or cable.

  • 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

  • Why is there a shadowed line running down the middle of my browsing window?

    All of a sudden there's a shadowed line running down the middle of my browsing pane. It does not show up in other programs, and I've closed and started the browser several times and it won't disappear. It starts at the top and continues down vertically about 3/4 of the way down the pane and is a little to the left of center.

    If you did not purchase AppleCare yes your warranty has expired, the warranty is for 12 months.
    You can take the machine to any Apple Store or AASP to be check out. You can use the following to locate either:

  • Having an intermittent issue where my iMac blanks out on me. On restarting I get bands running down the screen with pixels jumping around, then the white screen of death and nothing... Wouldn't restart all weekend, now fine..? any ideas whats wrong?

    Having an intermittent issue where my iMac blanks out on me. On restarting I get several bands running down the screen with pixels jumping around within the bands, then the white screen of death and nothing... This happens intermittently and usually restarts OK. Happened again three days ago and wouldn't restart for two days (again the bands/pixels etc) but now operating fine? Any ideas whats wrong with my iMac and what the solution may be? Also gets very hot from time to time, particularly if I'm playing music/watching youtube/movies for extended periods. Mac is 3.5 years old, running OS X 10.6.8, processor 3.4 GHz i7 memory 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3

  • HP 5button comfort mouse-wired. mouse pointer runs down the screen by itself.

    Hi all, I have recently lost control of my mouse. The pointer runs down the screen and I am unable to click accurately on
    any buttons etc. I have uninstalled and reinstalled without success. My system is Win 7- 64 bit. I have been told this is a driver problem. If so, how do I fix it? Incidently the mouse works perfectly on my Vista laptop and my XP desktop so the
    mouse is not at fault. Any help will be gratefully received.  RegT

  • Ipad had colored lines running through the screen

    My ipad first generation which i love now has colored lines running through the screen.  Can it be fixed?

    Howdy diana,
    It sounds like your iPad has mulitcolored lines all over it. I would recommend a few things here to help isolate the issue to software or hardware. Try restarting the phone with this article:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next try reseting the device with the same article:
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    If the issue is not resolved, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it as a new device to see if the lines are still there. If not then restore your backup and verify they are still gone.

    If the lines are there even when setup as a new device, your iPad may need service:
