4 vertical stripes on the screen of my Qosmio G-series!! ?

Hey.
I have gotten 4 vertical lines on my laptop screen. 2 pink and 2 green. They have appeared either when I turned on my machine or rebooted. Got my first line last month. Can I do anything with this issue? The machine is 3 years old.
Regards Stian.

Hi friend,
thats definitively an hardware failure. The question is:
Is it the display, the display cable or the mainboard.
You know that you will have to pay for it, but its up to you if you would like to spend some money for it or just selling it on Ebay and getting another machine.
If I were you I would contact some repair shop or service center and ask them for a hardware checkup, so you can localize the malfunctioning part.

  • I have 4 vertical stripes across the entire height of my monitor. Do I have to buy a new imac? e

    I have 4 vertical stripes across the entire height of my monitor, the stripes are there even before I log on. My 17" imac is 6 years old. Do I have to buy a new computer?

    Frequent problem on 2006 17" imac!
    Most of the time, it's a defective LCD panel.
    To validate if it is the LCD panel or the graphic card, you can take a screen shot (cmd+Shift+3) and see if the problem is visible on the screen shot.
    If it is not visible, then it's most likely the LCD panel.
    This can be confirmed by connecting an external display to your iMac.
    If it works well, then it's the LCD panel that is defective.
    Does it look like this?

  • Why are there 2 thin red vertical lines on the screen of my MBP 15" retina which is only 2 months old!

    I would just like to understand why there a two thin red vertical lines on the screen
    I suspect I need to bring into an apple store for diagnostics but is anyone aware of the likely cause?
    thanks v much!

    It could be a GPU issue, a display issue or a display connection issue.  The genius bar technician will offer you a definitive answer and should fix it under the warranty provisions.

    The picture on the screen when viewing movies on Apple TV on a samsung lcd screen is only a strip across the screen and doesn't fill the entire screen.  Any settings suggestions?

    If you can get to the settings on the AppleTV attempt to adjust the resolution settings to something more appropriate.

  • T400s vertical line down the screen - outside of warranty

    Hi
    I've had a T400s for just a 2 bit over 2 years now and was always happy with it. I used it mostly with my docking station and have never travelled with it. Now out of the blue one day half the screen was black with a few pixel problems right in the middle with a clear vertical line down the screen. I was perplexed because I was sure no damage whatsoever happened to the notebook.
    I googled and it seems to be a common problem:
    A link among others:
    "We have about 1200 T400s systems deployed and there has been a higher than normal failure rate with them compared to X301 and T61 systems. Our issues are LCD failure with a vertical line down the screen (very common), Speaker/Audio issues, and DoA systems."
    http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=89​101
    The problem seems to be known:
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?Legacy​DocID=MIGR-76367
    But since the notebook is outside of warranty but it's obviously a manufacturing problem on a (very) expensive notebook, how could I approach Lenovo service center to repair it for me? I have shelled out well over 2'500 Euro for the latest model back then and am a bit disappointed to be honest..
    Thanks for any advice on how to approach this!

    Yes, I spent 3 years at a Toronto Bank who bought say 500 systems or so plus notebooks. ThinkPad's and Think Center product. I supported did the warranty work while there. When the warranty was up it was up!! Even if a  lowly optical mouse fail and a number of them did. Too bad nor replacement.
    I've delt with IBM, Compaq and HP. There customer relations is entirely at at different level and would and did on  may occasions provide one time post warranty repair even for catestophic issues well after warranty was over. This is a case by case basis. You could reach them and talk to them (locally) and not haveway around the world having no sense of what significance your case it.
    There is a difference as was the turn around time  48hrs max and not weeks.

    I bank on line and tried to run a copy of my latest statement.  It was placed on the screen horizonally  instead of vertical and freezes the screen when I try to print it.  My bank told me the Adobe was responsible for this situation and they could not help me.  I need help?

    Try to download the statement. You can then open in Reader. If it is still sideways you can rotate the view then print

  • My i-phone just stopped working. It has coloured vertical bars on the screen. I can't even shut it down

    Hi christinehedden,
    If you are having an issue with your iPhone being unresponsive and showing vertical bars on the display, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Specifically -
    If you see lines, missing sections, discoloration, or poor image quality
    Try to restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
    If restarting or resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • My macbook pro keeps freezing with vertical lines on the screen

    I have a 2010 macbook pro that has worked wonderfully until now.  As of late it keeps freezing with vertical lines across the screen.  To me this indicates a hardware problem, but I ran a diagnostic (restarted while holding D) and it didn't find any errors.  It seems that it happens when I move or bump my macbook, leading me to think it may possibly be a disk problem, but I'm not sure how to check this.  Anybody else ever have this problem or could suggest a fix for it?

    You can try a pram reset, which might help with the display, but the bumoing thing is what concerns me.
    PRAM reset:
    Power down, power back up and hold the following keys before the start up chime.
    option, command, P, R,(no commas) continue to hold these keys till you hear the start up chime 2 times then release.
    Reboot see if this helps, the bumping part scares me.
    Hope this helps

  • Satellite P100-286 - Vertical lines on the screen and constant reboots

    I got this P100-286 with Nvidia Geforce Go 7900 GS and recently the laptop started freezing with vertical lines on the screen tried different options even tried recovery cd to re-install and after installation it started doing the same. I have read similar problems in the forum and is this a common problem with Toshiba? I have spend 1500 on this and it is only 3 years old. My friends have laptops older than this almost 6 years and in good working condition.
    Is there any solution or suggestion for this problem? The heat on the base of the laptop is really hot and it is like this for ages.
    Any help is really appreciated after spending this much would like to last longer or it is a realibility issue with Toshiba brand.

    It is happening in BIOS and even tried ubuntu on a boot cd and still having the same problem. I took to a PC servicing center they immediatly said it is a graphics card problem. The lines are comming in an external display as well. If you search in this forum you will see similar issues is reported by another user. I do think it is a genuine problem. The graphics chip is on board and it cost a lot to replace it that is what I been told.

  • Qosmio G15: green vertical lines on the screen

    It all started one regular day when I was playing music on my iTunes.
    Suddenly my screen went black and the music stopped, but my power button was still blue. Ever since then, whenever I try to start it, it goes on the Qosmio screen and the Windows XP screen and plays the start-up sound, but it has all these green vertical lines on the screen. And then it goes black and tsays that way.
    I have been able to use Windows VGA (whatever that means) with lines all over the screen, but I am not able to start it up normally. Does anyone have any suggestions or have had the same problem??? Please help me!!!
    I have a Toshiba G15 Windows XP Media Centre, but am not able to use it normally!

    Hello, This problem happens to me two weeks ago. I have a F10 and the warranty expired 3 months ago. I rarely use my laptop. Talked to a well known local store rep. He said there was a specculation on F10 as it was discontinous after a year of release. I agree that well known company like Toshiba should operate like Car companies and be honest on their products. Specially high end product like this.
    I was not informed about extended warranty when I bought it as the local store just want to sell and sell and move on. One of the regional store which represents Toshiba to repair all Laptop, said They are only allowed to fix all laptops except Qosmios models. They have to sent it to Toshiba.

  • MacBook iPhone Sync Creates Vertical Stripes on MacBook Screen

    I'm at a loss on this one... I have a black MacBook and I sync my iPhone 2G with it normally. Starting yesterday, when I sync my iPhone with it, iTunes starts the sync process normally, but after a few seconds, the screen switches to thin vertical color stripes. The cursor moves, but instead of an arrow, I get a pale 3 inch square that moves with the track pad. I then must do a hard restart. My attempts to fix this include:
    - Repaired disk and permissions in single user mode with fsck and AppleJack
    - Deleted iTunes prefs
    - Restored and totally zapped iPhone to initial status
    - Tested with my wife's iPhone and has same issue
    - Downloaded iTunes and installed it again
    Any other suggestions here? Thanks in advance!

    Hi Jason,
    The only thing I didn't see as part of your troubleshooting work flow was resetting the SMC.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411
    It's unlikely (although anything is possible) that for video distortion the issue is software related, especially when the iPhone is connected. At first I was going to suggest the remote possibility that the phone was possibly the culprit but the fact that a second iPhone also does the same thing would lead me to believe that's not the case.
    After resetting the SMC, if the issue persists, the next step is to arrange a hardware repair on the machine or at least have it further diagnosed. What about an iPod? Do you own one or have a buddy with one that you can verify?
    It's possible that there's a power management issue between the USB bus and the Inverter (backlight) or even the LVDS cable (video to the display). Resetting the SMC, is the first step to begin to determine what the problem is and how to properly proceed based on the result would be a hardware diagnosis via a service provider.
