2GB nano screen has severely reduced and dithered colors
I purchased a first-gen 2GB iPod nano, brand new, from a seller on eBay. It arrived yesterday and was working perfectly until an hour after use, when the colors on the screen suddenly became very white and washed-out. I reset the device, and the colors returned to their normal brightness, but it now appears as if the screen's color depth has gone down significantly -- it almost looks like setting Windows' color depth to 256 colors.
I've tried resetting the device, draining and recharging the battery, and restoring the device, to no avail. Any suggestions?
Never mind, the problem seems to have fixed itself.

My iPhone 4S screen is suddenly not reacting. The screen has turned a light blue color but nothing is happening. I have tried several things such as holding the power button, plugging it into the wall, and plugging it into my computer. What should I do?
Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement. -

Can you still access your Bookmarks at the top of the Safari screen? If so, select it and choose History. Then click Clear History at the top of the History window.
If that does not help, double-click the Home button. A row of recent Apps will line up along the bottom of the screen. Scroll across and find Safari. Press and hold on it until it starts to wiggle. Then click on the red minus sign to remove it from the list. Click the Home button to stop the wiggling and again to return to the Home screen. Now see if Safari is working any better.
If still no improvement, try resetting (rebooting) the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

Apple air's screen has several horizontal lines

Is this related to Aperture? Did it start happening with a Yosemite update? More details and whether this is a new problem would be helpful. How are we supposed to help otherwise?

my nano screen has freezen and wont go back to normal.... is there any way i can unfreeze it? does any one know please help!!!!
What exactly do you mean "frozen?" Will it not respond to the Click Wheel? Or is the Rating showing at the bottom of the screen, rather than the progress through the song (or artwork, or fast-forward, or anything instead of progress through song)?

my iphone 4 screen has gone blank and its still on it vibrates when i put it on charge ive tried turning it off and the screen is still not showing anything please help
Hi Ellen,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone 4 has a dim or blank black screen but responds to some commands like enabling vibrate. I understand this may be a frustrating situation, but the troubleshooting suggestions in the article below will help you solve the issue.
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If your screen is too dim, too bright, or you see only faint images
Try to adjust the brightness. If the screen doesn’t respond when you adjust the brightness, open several apps to make sure it’s not an issue with only one app.
If you have a screen protector, try removing it. Try removing your case if it includes a screen protector.
If you see the issue in multiple apps, restart your device.
If restarting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
Take care,

My iPod Touch 4G's screen has gone white and has lines on the screen. How do I fix it? Help!
Hello everyone,
I've had an iPod Touch 4th generation for a few years now, and, today, for the first time, the screen has gone white and their are vertical lines on it. What happened was I accidentally dropped my iPod Touch on tile and it landed on its back. I tried it out right afterwards to see if it was still working and it seemed like it was perfectly fine. Later on, I got an email from one of my friends, so I slid the email button on the lock screen to see the email. In the email, there was a link to a gif image, so I opened it in Safari. After I was done with it, I closed that tab. I also had a second tab open from earlier, so I wanted to close that tab as well. When I clicked on the button to see all tabs and close one, the screen completely froze. I held on to the on/off button on the top of the iPod, and, after about a minute, the screen switched to a completely white screen with lines on it. I've tried holding onto the on/off button again and it doesn't work. I also tried plugging it into my Windows 7 computer and opening iTunes, but my computer doesn't even recognized it is plugged in. It won't appear under the "computer" section in Windows Explorer, which will allow me to do USB-related tasks with it. iTunes doesn't recognize that it is plugged in either, so I can't do anything like restore the iPod to factory settings. The home button on my iPod hasn't been working for a while so i've always been using the accessibility feature that gives me a home button on the screen. Now that I can't access that, I can't hold down both the on/off button and the home button at the same time. What should I do? Should I send it in to Apple for repairs (which I won't do and would rather buy a new iPod Touch)? I am thinking of just leaving it to, hopefully, have the battery drain and the iPod would die. Then, I could charge it and see what happens. Other than that, i'm just clueless right now and I have no idea what I should do. Please help me!
My iPod Touch is an iPod Touch 4th generation model with 8GB. It is running iOS 5.1.1.Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Portege Z830 - screen has been broken and I need to replace it
Hi
I have Toshiba Portege z830. My screen has been broken and I need to replace it.
Is it possible to install some IPS screen instead of original LTN133AT25-601? Which IPS screen is compatible with LTN133AT25-601?Hi
The original LCD which was used in Z830 was an 13.3"(HD) 1366 x 768 TFT Color LCD.
So if you want to use other display, then you should pay attention to the screen size and the connectors.
I think these are most important key elements. -
My iphone 5 has just had an update for candy crush and ever since i opened it the screen has been black and I can't get it to do anything what can I do?
- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.) Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Delete the App, then reinstall it.
Test the issue after each step. Make sure to quit the app as described before each followup step. -

That sounds like a hardware problem. Contact Apple for service. If you have an Apple Store near you, make an appointment at the Genius Bar and take it in for the techs to look at.
