Black lines on my iPads edges

Hello, I purchased an iPad 2, 16GB, white, last night at Walmart.
I'm starting to see a black line around the bottom left edge of the iPad and it appears to be dirt, as if there is a gap opening between the bezel and the aluminum back of the device. I'm not sure what could have caused this, but it irks me.
Should I just take the device back for a black one so it will be less noticeable of what?

Thanks - I turned it off last night and kept it off all day and the lines were still there so I reset the PRAM and unfortunately it made it worse. I can hardly see a thing now. The grey screen and blue screen are perfect when I boot up but the second the login box appears it goes weird. When I move the mouse now it leaves black dots/lines where the mouse has been so after a few minutes of moving it around the desktop it's hard to see anything. Not to worry though as I have managed to locate the back-up option in iTunes and am currently backing up my precious music before it totally gives up before I have the chance

Is there a fix for a 2 inch black line on my iPad

Is there a fix for a 2 inch black line on my ipad

Contact apple to see if the product is still covered under warranty, it will probably need to be replaced

Black line on my ipad

I have a blackline running across the IPAD screen. I tried resetting the IPAD and had same results

There's probably very little you can do to fix this yourself aside from trying a fresh install of the OS. That might fix it, so give it a try.
If not, you'll have to start talking to Apple if it's in warranty still, to them or some third party if it isn't and you want it fixed, or maybe you just learn to live with it for a while.

Vertical Black Lines on L & R edge after 4:3 PAL - 4:3 NTSC conversion

I used Hanumang's brilliant PAL to NTSC formula as follows:
"Load your DV PAL movie into Compressor 2, then choose Advanced Format Conversions > DV NTSC from the settings. Then, under the Frame Controls tab, alter your settings to:
Frame Controls: Custom
Resize Filter: Better (Linear Filter)
Output Fields: Bottom First
Deinterlace: Better Motion Adaptive
Adaptive Details: checked
Rate Conversion: Better (Motion Compensated)"
So does anyone have any idea why I'm getting a narrow black line on both vertical edges of the frame . . ? And more importantly - how I can get rid of them!
I know they won't show on a 4:3 TV but they may well show up on a wider screen if the background's not black.
I should add - for anyone who wants to use this method, it takes hours and hours - but it's well worth it - the quality's excellent. (I just wish I could get rid of the lines)!

> hanumangs settings are really good arent they :)
Excellent!
> anyway, you used his settings exactly, correct?
To the letter.
> original PAL footage did NOT have this blanking
issue, correct?
None whatever.
>what are your video resolutions? what are
you previewing this video on (as in applicartion)?
FCP 5.0.4 - Easy Setup DV NTSC - New application - New Sequence (NTSC)
Blanking is there in the Viewer and Canvas.
Item Properties - Format - NTSC CCIR 601 720x480
> also, you can get rid of the vertical blanking by
cropping your video and then rescaling the video to
have the full frame of picture
Yes, I know that but it would be a very last resort - I want the best quality I can get.
> on a widescreen TV, assuming that the end user is using a
4x3 LB mode, you will still have letterbox pillars,
so it wont matter, as in, they will still have the
black mattes on the vertical lines
Not all TVs have a black background do they?
I just can't understand it . . . both formats are 720 wide - what could be causing this blanking?
(It's so annoying)!
Thanks for your help Mikey M.

My iPad has a series of thin black lines running across the right side of the screen. They look like pages in a book.

How does one get rid of the thin black lines running across the right side of the screen? They look like the edges of pages..... This is an iPad3 and the lines have been there since I took the iPad out of the box.

Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is suggested...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

Problem with "small black line in right margin" with Folio Builder / Adobe Viewer in Ipad. Id CC.

Hi there,
When I create a Folio Builder and I check my Id project in the Adobe Viewer (It happens in the Ipad App and in the Desktop Viewer), I can see a black line in the right margin (maybe 4 px). And I can't adjust my background (It's an object with a colour) to use the "full resolution available for the app in the ipad", and yes, I'm using rules and I can see that my background object it's 1024 x 768. I have tryed several projects and upgraded the project to the "30 version".
But I'm a new user with ID/DPS. So, is this a reported bug? Or I'm doing sth wrong?
And for me, the most important question, will this problem be solved when I send my project to the applestore and DPS transform my Folio to the Store? Or what I see now it's what I will see?
Thanks!

Sorry! I have found an answer here in the discussion:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5835960#5835960
So, the problem will be solved in the final app, and it's just the scroll in the Viewer.
Thanks!

Does this only happen on specific pages?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

In Reminders on IOS7 on IPAD a Black Line has appeared around line 17/18. I cannot enter more lines after this

A mysterious Black Line has appeared in one of my Reminder sections on the Reminders App on Ipad 4. It is around Line 17/18.
It does not at the moment appear on my iphone using the same app
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I have the same problem, and have for many mounth now, searched for an alternative til iOS Reminders which can sync. to Exchange, but we cannot find one. We use Tasks in Outlook very much.
We have several iPad's with the problem, and we can not solve the problem.
Apple will NOT listen to us, they just say we have to restore the system, but it does not solve the problem!!
Very frustating.
Now the Microsoft Surface 2 look, like a good alternative, and we will go in that direction. We cannot live with thi issue.
Apple is NOT for bussiness.

Black line on Ipad!

Im using my friends ipad and before i knew it, there was black horizantal thick black line on it. Is something wrong? I tried a hard reset, and updating but nothing will work. The screen itself works and everything there is just a big black line. What do i do? D;

Me too. It is a band of black and colored lines running vertical in landscape and horizontal in portrait about two inches wide. It's cover over all apps and all the time. Reboot, restore is no help but touch function works fine across the stripes. The screen capture from the iPad1 does not appear the band of black and colored lines. It shows a normal screen. The answer when asked at the Genius Bar is, they never seen this problem before. And the solution that fix the problem may be expensive. But when searching on Google with the keyword "iPad half screen black" it's return 64,800,000 results. Some user comment that the video display hardware on the system board has been damaged. It's possible something has been dislodged or come loose. But, again, why this happened to many many users in the same period? In most cases the iPad never drop. It's happened immediately with no sign of warning. There are no ways to fix it right now. The iPad1 is just 2 years released. Is it too early to replace with the iPad3?

Hi
You should ask your relative to physically take the iPhone to the store rather than shipping it because as diesel vdub has said:
"No Apple store will accept an iPhone shipped to them"
All you have to do is safely pack and ship your iPhone from the Philppines to your California-based relative.
HTH?

I have a thin black line that appears on my iPad screen. Is my iPad defective?

I have a thin black line that appears on my iPad screen. Is my iPad defective?

It could be having issues. If that line appears across apps(as in in more than one app, and even when you're not in an app) , try resetting the device by holding down the home and sleep key, past the power down slider, and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if the line persists. If it does, your next stop should be the apple store and let them take a look at it. Issues with the display like that are often beyond simple user fixes.

Thick black line through iPad 1- will screen replacement work?

There is a 2 inch black line through the width of my iPad 1. iPad is out if warranty and apple genius told me the only fix would be to buy another one. Could I fix this issue through replacing the LCD screen? Any suggestions would help.

Might. Might not. Could be part of the backlight is bad. Could be the equivalent of the graphics card is bad.
Dunno how much your screen replacement is but you may want to weigh that cost against it not working and you paying and still not having a functioning device.
