15"PB - Horizontal Lines On The Screen

Hi, I have a 15"PowerBook 1,67GHz with 2GB Kingston RAM and enjoyed a lot.
But just 6 days after it's 1 Year International Guarantee is over (9 March
2006) some horizontal lines started to appear in the LCD screen.
I took my PB to AppleIMC-Bilkom technical service. And they say "the
problem is in your Logic Board and must be changed"... This means 1000YTL in our country. I am an university student, I earn my own money and still
paying my PB' s monthly payments. I don't have money, in addition to this my
father is a cancer patient and ChemoThearpy takes from us lots of money and
happiness. I earn money with my musical projects which I make them with my
PB and Logic Pro7.
AppleIMC-Bilkom added that a user can't cause this problem. And I am a very
carefull user. So does anybody have an advice for me what to do? I can't reach Apple Team, they headed my way to the discussion forums.
I love Apple products, but I am loosing confidence in Apple while I am drowning with the problems which don't belong to me. Where is the Apple trustworthiness that I spend a lot of money for?
Thanks all for the time that you spend.
PowerBook G4 15" 1,67GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

If you check the terms of your monthly payments you may find that your warranty is covered for ther period of your payments.

  • Horizontal lines on the screen.

    I just purchased a MacBook within the last 3 weeks. Every time l switch on my Mac l get coloured horizontal lines on the right hand side of the screen. When l switch if off and on again the lines disappear. Anyone else experiencing this problem. Do you think it’s a fault with the laptop? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    I would get it looked at. You may have a graphics circuit issue.

  • Grey Horizontal lines accross the screen

    My iphone has grey horizonal lines accross the screen. Everyday they seem to get longer. Is there a way of fixing this?

    My 1st gen iphone is also doing this now.. The top line is all grey and now the second from top has also started and moving across daily
    Out of warranty and jailbroken here in Thailand so my phone's running life of 1.5 years is at an end. It's never been dropped so i am disappointed about this and i'm reading a lot of stuff on google regarding this grey line problem.
    Ho hum

  • Horizontal lines across the screen of my Vision:M, need he

    I have had my player since Janauaryexcuse me, February and have not had a single issue until today. I turned it on, and there are thin, horizontal, white lines running across the screen. They seem to be most intense over the text at the top left hand corner and if there is any text or picture in the main portion of the screen. I have no idea what has caused and what, if anything, I can do to fix this. I haven't dropped it, had it near any magnetic or other electronic devices, left it in excessi've heat or cold or... anything. I've been babying this thing and now the screen is barely readable when on. Anyone know what's up with this Will I have to return this for repairs Message Edited by appetencexx on 09-26-200709:02 PM

    I bought one on December 24th 2006, didnt drop it or abuse it, after 4 months the same thing happened, I was out of luck because the 3 month labour warranty was up.
    I was told by creative to mail it to their office at my own expense blah blah blah. A quick google search informs me it is a common problem and creative pretends it's your fault the unit has become useless, people also had horrible experiences with creative tech support, so after spending upwards of $400 already to purchase the Vision M 60GB, I decided I wasted enough money and time with this company and I now use the unit as a fancy 60GB portable hard drive.

  • What would cause a slim horizontal line across the screen of my iMac?

    There is a slim line across the Center if the screen. It is horizontal. It does not appear every time I boot up, but it is causing concern.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It would mean that your display or GPU are starting to fail, most likely the GPU, as the line is not permanent. Does the line move during the time your iMac is turned on or change if you start up in safe mode (holding the Shift key while your Mac is starting)?
    A good test you can do is to make a screenshot of the screen when your iMac is showing the line. To make the screenshot, press Command, Shift and 3 keys, and the screenshot will appear in the desktop. Double-click it and see if the line appears. If it appears, it's the GPU. If not, it's the display

  • Flickering horizontal lines across the screen

    My Toshiba LCD TV has a thin black line going across the screen. TV is just a year old and is not under warranty. I've seen some comments that the LCD panel needs replacing. Is this my only option? Any other thoughts? Thanks.

    Our Toshiba Regza  Cinemax TV has been acting up, it has shadowing, sometimes horizontal and vertical lines. They are worst on the left side of screen.  Anyone know what part may need to be replaced.  This has been doing this for quite a while, it comes and goes.  Paid almost $3,000 for this piece of crap it should have lasted more than five years.

  • Fuzzy horizontal lines on the screen after updating iphone 4 to ios 7

    After updating from ios 6 to ios 7.0.2 on iphone 4 the image rendering on the screen get worse, showing a lot of fuzzy horizontal lines everywhere.

    I already updated to the newest version (7.0.3) but the problem seems to persist.
    When I open the Camera app the problem reach the highest ratio of fuzzy lines making impossible to me to recognize subjects!

    - Try here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and yu can't furrly turn the iPod off, let the battery fuly drain. After charging for at least an hour try again
    - If not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Hello Armando
    Check out the article below for troubleshooting your issue with the display. There are a few things that can be done, like changing the resolution of the display and also to reset the NVRAM to see if that resolves that for you.

  • My Classic developes two thin horizontal lines across the top third of the screen.

    After a day using my classic in the car, I plugged it into its speaked dock and niticed two thin horizontal lines all the way across the top third of the screen.
    Does anyone know how to get rid of them pleaase. Thx

    You can try Resetting the iPod, won't work, if LCD screen is damaged or the display chip surface mounts has gone wobbly, which mean going in for servicing.
    Otherwise.
    Press Menu and Center button for 10 secs till the Apple logo comes on, then release the buttons.

  • When doing the app exposé gesture, is it normal to see a thin white horizontal line at the bottom of the screen after minimizing a window?

    I noticed that when I open two windoes (say Safari and Trash can) and minimize both windows so they go on the dock, when I do the swip down gesture with 3 fingers (App Expose´) there is a thin white horizontal line at the bottom of the screen. Does it happen to every macbook pro out there?  Is this normal?  Hope it's not a display screen problem...

    You would have to have multiple pages of the app minimized.
    This is what it looks like with Safari with 1 page open and 4 minimized.

  • They are dotted lines across the screen horizontally.

    When I upgrading to Lion Mountain, now I see somes "Drops" in the images. They are dotted lines across the screen horizontally. I reformatted and reinstalled OS 10.8.2, but the problem persists. I went to service, thought it was a video card problem, but it was not.

    I have this too! I just bought this iMac a few months back. These screen are having a lot of troubles from what I am reading. My horizontal lines are not that bad, but you can notice them.
    I might sell these computer off quick as apparently the quality of these screens is a nightmare.
