Blinky white lines then full white screen

So... Caught in some rain with my iPod touch in my pocket... Didnt get drenched or anything like that , but my clothes were definitely damp. Then it was in a dry tent overnight with me but got rather cold (40s, so not all that bad actually). This morning, turned it on and screen went crazy with blinky white lines the just went all white. it pretty much stays white now no matter what, although sometimes goes back to blinky lines for a few. I've turned it on and off a few times and tried plugging it into the charger. Sound out works fine when hooked up to my car interface btw.
Am I toast? I've heard of some solution where moisture exposed gadgets recover after sitting in uncooked rice... Anybody know if that's valid?
Any other suggestions?
IPod is 6 months old btw and this is the first time anything like this has happened.
Thanks,
dan p

Check the moisture indicators located inside the headphone port and the docking connector to see if the color changed from white to purple. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3302
And the recovery placing it in a sealed bag of rice worked for others and might be your only chance if the indicators got triggered.

Satellite M65-S9063 - Vertical white lines appearing down the screen!

Hi all - any ideas...
Model M65-S9063 Approximately 3 weeks ago a vertical white line appeared down the screen, it's around a mil thick.
Then yesterday a second one has appeared, slightly thinner this time. They're always there even after a reboot! It doesn't look as though any video is being displayed as they're always white. I was wondering graphics card perhaps? Or maybe the LCD itself?
Anyone seen this before??
Many thanks,

Hi!
You can simply determine the reason of this issue. Connect an external monitor the notebook and see what happens.
If you can notice the same error on the external screen, its a problem of the graphic card or display driver. If you dont have this issue on the external screen, you should go to an authorized service provider for exchanging the internal screen.
If you use a non Toshiba display driver you should remove it and test it with original Toshiba drivers.
I hope I could help you a little bit.
Bye

White lines on ipod classic screen, could it be cracked screen? it has never been dropped or anything. Is it pretty common problem. Contacted apple support, denies problem exist.

White lines three appeared on my ipod classic screen. It has never been dropped or screen scratched. Suddenly white lines appeared on the screen. Tried to reset settings, nothing changed. Is this a common issue with ipod classic coz apple adviser denying ever having heard of this problem and I have to pay half of msrp to fix it. Offered 10% off to purchase new ipod and turn in old one. What a waste. Apple should take responsibility if this problem is indeed inherent with this product.

The magnets are tnot the cause.
Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem.
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPad: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore tofactory defaults/new iPad
If still problem then time for an appointment at teh Genius Bar of an Apple store. The drops may have damaged it or there could be another cause.

Weird horizontal white lines going across the screen

I've had my nano 4g for around six months. When I first bought it, there was a single white line going across the top of the screen. It never really got in the way, so I didn't bother exchanging the ipod. Recently, another white line of pixels appeared lower on the screen. This line is there even while I reset it.
Besides replacing the screen or exchanging the iPod, is there anything that I can do to fix this?

It may (likely) be a video card issue. There is a "known issue" with certain iMacs made in a certain timeframe (2011-12 I think), and one of the telltale symptoms is vertical lines showing up on your display. Go to Apple's website (https://getsupport.apple.com/) to find out how to get support, then either call their service line (they usually pick right up) or take it into your nearest store's Genius Bar. They'll first check if your iMac's serial number is on the list of vulnerable machines, and then they'll have to do a diagnostic to prove that's the problem -- if your serial number's on the list and it fails the diagnostic, they'll replace the video card for free, even if you're not covered by AppleCare (and if you are, it's free regardless).
My iMac just had this problem, there were lines sometimes and just weird display issues other times. Eventually it just grayed out altogether and I couldn't use it. So it's likely your display problems will worsen if you don't get it looked at.
It took them about a week to ship the new video card over, install it, and return the iMac to me.
Good luck!

This is a user-to-user forum. Apple does not respond to posts here. You can give Apple your feedback on the Feedback page:

They don't respond directly there, either. And once you post something here, people will comment as they see fit, regardless of what you originally hoped for. That's just the way it is with a public forum.
Try Groove for iPad. People seem to think it's a great replacement to the previous music app.

White line in middle of screen on macbook air

When I am on a screen sometimes my macbook air shows a white line. on the right it is brighter and on the left it is dimmer. I have seen it on the startup screen, and on youtube videos.

Satellite P105-S6064: Colored vertical and horizontal white lines appearing on laptop screen.

Hello,
A few months ago, vertical lines started appearing on my laptop screen, the first was purple/green and they later increased in rapidly in number by the day and night and are about 70 currently. But today, white line apeared at once on the left side of the screen, covering upto three icons completely and they fade downwards (brighter/colourful at the top) and unlike the coloured, they appeared at once; and they also blink when the touchpad is touched as the display turns off (the power saver schedule/setting). I've been told about two weeks ago that the laptop was hit by something or fell and that I needed to start gathering some notes (money) to replace the screen. I'm not an expert and I don't know what to do please reply intelligently (helpfully).

You'd need to have it professionally serviced.

White line across MBP 17" screen

This just stareted happening, and it's getting worse...
From time to time, a thin white line goes across my entire screen, followed by the entire screen below becoming darker than the top part. Also, there are times when the affected part becomes a cascade of thin white lines.
It goes away when I flex the screen, or slightly tap the screen.
I'm taking it to the Apple Store, but I wondere if anyone else has experienced this?
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

What white line?? If it goes all the way across you probably have a row of pixels out. I had mine for 3 months when this happened. I had purchased mine from Best Buy with a service plan, and chose to have mine repaired rather than get a "refurbished" replacement. I received a phone call this morning saying that Apple had authorized an exchange for a new ipod, which has just finished synching. Not sure what the qualifications are for getting a brand new replacement like that are, but I think I'll always choose the repair option over exchange - I just lost 3 months wear and tear on my ipod.

Hortizontal black and white lines across web browser screen that appears and disappears but blocks usually 3/4 of web page, did not have with last version heard it might be my graphics card?

Since downloading Firefox 4, I will periodically get black and white horizontal lines that cover about 2/3 of the browser screen. There doesn't seem to be any trend to the website or areas it happens at, and will sometimes happen multiple times while scrolling through a large news article. The lines stay fixed to a certain area. The only way to get them to go away is to refresh the screen or if the page is big enough scroll to an area not affected and then scroll back. I've heard from someone that it might be my graphics card. My computer's a hand-me-down but not terribly old so it could be that the card is just old or bad, any other ideas?

Try to disable hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

Black and white lines up and down screen

When I start up my macbook pro white and black lines appear for the startup screen in bunches. After that the screen is black but the keyboard is lit up and you can still hear the sounds of turning up the volume and music can still play.

Two white lines down Iphone 5 screen

I dropped my Iphone 6 months ago and cracked the top of the screen. I didn't get it repaired as phone was working as normal until two days ago whn I noticed two white vertical lines down my screen and the phone started playing up (going onto stuff I have not pressed). Is there any reason for this or any solutions?

If it's under warranty and hasn't been physically damaged, jailbroken, illegally unlocked, etc. They will replace it with an identical phone.

Fine white lines going across screen Horz.

I was working a iDVD project lastnight and left it working on it as I was sleeping. When I checked on it this morning my DVD had burnt fine. However I noticed that my display had 2 fine white lines going across the screen Horz. down about 2 inches from the top of the screen. I did a shutdown and then powered on again and the machine started up fine but the lines are still there.
Anyone have any suggestions on what I can try to trouble shoot this problem before I call Apple, the machine is still covered by AppleCare.

Vertical Lines on My iMac ;-( Doesn't look so pretty with them.
Apple has a service program for (now at least) earlier iMac G5's within a specific Serial # range. Here is a link to see if yours qualifies....
http://www.apple.com/uk/support/exchange_repair/imac.html
Otherwise, I suggest a call into Apple and make a formal complaint and get a case #. Yours isn't an isolated case, if this particular issue is reported enough times then Apple would be foolish not to extend the service program to cover all iMacs that are faulty or defective.
Asking customers to pay for expensive repairs to faulty parts just a little time out of the standard warranty is not good for their business. They need to step up and sort this out.
