Black line across screen after sleep button pressed

Hi,
When i press the sleep button, i have these black lines appearing across the screen of my ipod which fade away almost immediately. This only happens when i press the sleep button.
Does anyone know if this is a software or hardware issue and can it be fixed?
thanks

Okay, I've updated firmware.
Can you tell me, does this mean my iMac was one of
the first off the production line and could have all
the usual Apple early problems...?
I think I should still take it back to shop and
change it for one of their new stock models in about
3 weeks time when they take delivery of latest stock,
what do you think?
I'm only suspicious as I bought a first generation
iMac G5 and had fan noise and heat problems galour. I
don't want a repeat with an early Intel iMac.
From what I see other posters saying who have just received new ones directly by special order, they are having to do the firmware updates as well, so there is no way to tell how new yours is or isn't. If these resets do not solve the black screen problem now, I think you'll have to take it back anyway. Unless someone else can give you another idea.
edit-
I understand what you're saying about the first models of anything, but I've looked at this as actually being the best of the G5 revisions combined with better, cooler running internal components. If yours is as quiet as mine, and if you resolve the black screen issue, my opinion is that it's not worth giving it up. I've been using an iMac Intel that was returned to Apple, I don't know why and don't really care because it works perfectly for me and cost less.

  • Thin black line across screen

    My 5th generation Ipod classic has, in the last year, developed a think black line across the center of the screen that is always there. Is this a "dead pixel" area that has developed? Is there any way to repair this that isn't costly?

    This is a fairly common problem and I believe the only solution is to replace the screen or simply live with it. My daughter's old ipod does the same thing. You will notice that the lines only show up when the backlight it on, right?

  • Black line across screen

    I recently noticed on my blackberry 9360 that there is a black line on the screen that keeps getting bigger.  I haven't dropped my phone and there hasn't been any water damage.  What causes the line?  Is the screen so fragile that cleaning it can break it?

    That's the problem. An issue like that is usually considered physical damage and they domy cover it. Its is shame but its the way it goes. If you're so inclined you might be able to replace it yourself if you're good at that type of thing. Parts are available online.

  • My 1st generation Ipod touch won't turn on at all and whenever I press the buttons to reset it all I get is a white screen, or a white screen with black lines across.

    You can work through the five 5 R's of troubleshooting to rule out the possibility of corrupted software.

    It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
    Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity.  A third party service will actually replace the damaged part for a little less.  Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

  • Thin black line across Indesign CS4 doc exported to PDF

    Hi ... am using Indesign CS4 on OS Windows XP and exporting docs to PDF (Acrobat 9 Professional) then printing on a HP Colour LaserJet CP2025.
    I'm getting a thin black line across the bottom of the page when printing - it doesn't show up on the screen though.  The line sits 5mm above the bottom edge of the page and prints whether I have bleed set or not in Indesign.
    Have tried toggling scaling, printer's marks settings, printer settings,Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional settings with no joy.
    Can anyone help? 

    Hi all,
    EUREKA!   Looks like it's finally fixed ...
    One of my printer (HP Colour Laser Jet CP2025) has an advanced printer property, under printer features, called "Print Data Optimization" - this was set to "Auto" - I changed it to "Optimise for Text and Vector" and voila!  Thin black line has disappeared and I'm happily reprinting a bunch of documents ...
    Thanks everyone for your advice and input - saved my sanity
    Sally

  • Hello I suffer from a problem with your MacBook  There is a black line in screen

    Hello
    I suffer from a problem with your MacBook
    There is a black line in screen
    http://i48.tinypic.com/35apzz8.png

    Is the line always present? If you boot up the MacBook holding down the option key during startup so that you get to the startup manager, is the line still there?
    If so you have a hardware issue and it needs to be repaired. Contact Apple using their Express Lane if you live in a country where that is available, or call the appropriate phone number on this page if not. You can also take the MacBook in to an Apple store or service provider.
    Best of luck.

  • Thin Horizontal Line Across Screen

    I've had them before and they disappeared spontaneosly. The latest one seems to want to hang around. Any idea how to get rid of it?

    This is a followup to my post earlier today. A web search on "Thin Horizontal Line Across Screen" turned up this article:
    http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/post24947-5.html
    Sure enough, my horizontal line came back. I decided to follow the advice in the linked article. I didn't even have to twist the monitor. I barely tapped the screen as I was reaching up to twist the panel, and the line disappeared. This suggests to me that the problem is a loose internal connection between the driver circuitry and the panel.

  • How do I get rid of this black line across the top of my screen...

    There is this black line that stretches about midway across the entire top of my screen... I read something about reseting my PRAM and I did that but it didn't remove the line... any insight on what is wrong with it and what needs to be done??
    Thank you!

    Is your Mac still under warranty? It sounds like a hardware failure.

It worked once, but it is no longer working...PLEASE HELP!!!!!! SOON!!!! I have projects to turn in in a couple of hours.
