Blue Line on Screen

Hi folks...
Just got my Xperia Tablet Z, opened it about an hour ago.
About half an hour into playing with it, a blue line appeared on my screen from top to bottom (in landscape mode).
Do you think this is anything I can attempt to fix myself or should I call Sony?
Yes, the line appears at startup :-(

I suggest that you try to run a software reinstall using SUS.

If the problem still remains you should contact your local support team, to have the phone examined and fixed at an repair center.

Recently updated, blue lines on screen

I recently updated the software on my 30 GB ipod video, and when the software finished updating and my ipod reset itself, thin blue lines now appear vertically on my ipod display screen. Does anyone know how to get rid of those lines? or should I take it in to be fixed??

i am having the same problem, and that suggestion did not help. i updated my ipod last night before i went to bed and this morning the screen appeared to be distorted. i ejected it from my computer but the screen was still showing a distorted "do not disconnect" yet it was covered by what appears to be multi-colored or blue squares. can anyone please help????

Permanent vertical blue line the screen and a red one has just popped up too. What does it mean and how can I get rid of them?

I have had a permanent vertical blue line on the right side of my imac screen for some time now. It does not affect the use of the computer. A red one has popped up on the right side of the screen and is not going away either.
Would you know why these are appearing and perhaps how to get rid of them please?
Thank you in advance

Best guess is that either your GPU or LCD is failing. You should take it to the nearest Apple Store or AASP for proper diagnostic. Once you know what the problem is you can decide wether or not it's worth repairing.

Blue Lines On Screen

hi,
sometimes when i write something, there are blue lines appear on screen. i take screen shot photo so i think it's about settings or firmware. How can i fix it?
thanks.
Solved!

Hi OnurNET,
Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
This is completely normal, try swiping from one letter to another and try writing a word, this function is on by default, and I believe it cannot be removed by any normal means.
I hope this helps.

Blue line down screen center

So I'm sitting on my computer at the kitchen table, and my T60 suddenly develops a thin blue line down the center of the screen. At first it only sporadically appears, but now it hasn't gone away for a couple days. The thin blue line is right smack down the center - it doesn't really show up when you're working with something a white background like Microsoft Word, it only shows up on a colored background like pictures, video, etc. Any idea what the problem is here and how I can fix it?
My laptop is still under warranty and isn't that old and I take good care of it so I don't expect that the screen is seriously messed up. I'm hoping I just need to reset something.
Also, lately (last month or two?) my laptop has been getting a bit hotter than usual, especially when it's working a little harder, like if I play a video etc. The fan can get quite loud. Would this be at all related?

It is most likely a connection or cable problem. Do you have an external monitor that you can check this problem on? To see whether the same appears on the external monitor, if that is the case, then your GPU is probably the culprit.
Your laptop is running hot, probably due to dusts clogging your heat exhaust, so you would need to take off your keyboard and palmrest, and give a good clean with some compressed air.

If you don't know how to do it, read through the manual in the link i provided.

Blue line on screen iPad air

I purchased a iPad air 16 December 2013, and have been extremely happy with this. Until 14 February 2014, it has suddenly developed a thin blue line across the screen horizontally top to bottom. I have read that others have experienced this and that I should return to the store. My problem is I purchased this from the Apple Store in Hawaii and I live in New Zealand, so I am unable to return this to the store. Any suggestions on what I could do?

You can attempt to reset the iPad by holding down the home and power buttons for 15 to 30 seconds until you see the silver apple then let your iPad start normally, if the line still shows up, i would recommend that you backup and restore the device as new and see if the line still shows up. If so your screen would need repair or replacement.

A very strange behaving blue line on screen

Yesterday I noticed a new blue line on my iMac display before I went to sleep. Today it is still there. It is a bright blue line that appears on the right side of my screen, is vertical, and goes a third of the way up from the bottom of the scrreen.
Running OS Lion.
When I put a program in full screen mode the line turns to a faint yellow.
When I watch a movie in iTunes the line is still there.
When I open Pages and move various parts of the docoment or the inspector windows over the line it changes color to a faint yellow. In the gray portion of the box I cannot see the line. I can't tell if the the line, a faint yellow, is there or not.
Now here is the WEIRD part. I cannot take a screenshot of it. When I do the line is gone, it is not present in the image. It is present in all other instances... but I cannot seem to take a picture of it.
If I open up QuickTime and make a recording of the screen... it is NOT there.
What gives? I've looked through other discussion forums and find a lot of ranting. The inconsistency of the line leads me to believe that it isn't strictly hardware. But what do I know.

I suggest that you try to run a software reinstall using SUS.

Permanent vertical blue line on screen

The line appears on the left had side of my Thinkpad Yoga, which was purchased about two months ago. I saw some similar posts here. So this is likely LCD panel issue and have to send back for repair?

it is a hardware issue with lcd cable or panel, you have to send it into repair.

There are horizontal white lines through display picture, and some vertical blue lines. sometimes screen is all black, sometimes whited out, sometimes half white lines, half completely unvisible. white lines have spread from just a few on top

i just want to know if anyone has encountered this problem and if it is worth getting fixed/looked at. its an older nano so im thinking about just buying an itouch. any help is greatly appreciated!!

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Problems like this can be caused by a cable pinched in the hinge. When you start seeing the display problems, does adjusting the angle of the display make a difference?
There is a known logic board fault in this model iBook which resulted in the iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program. However, in my experience, if the logic board is involved with display anomalies, it causes the system to freeze up, necessitating a hard shutdown and waiting several hours for a restart. Another symptom of the logic board problem is if pressure on the case to the left of the trackpad on the left wrist rest improves the situation.
Based on my experience, it sounds more like a cable caught in the hinge, since you're not seeing system freezes. Let us know if adjusting the display's angle (a bit forward or a bit back) makes a difference.

My PC has blue screened twice in the past week so I force quit it it came back on a few times after that it is now grey screening with inch wide blue lines from top to bottom the apple logo is there and it is trying to boot up but nothing happening

My Mac has blue screened a couple of times this week it started to work a couple of times after that but now it is grey screening with inch wide blue lines from top to bottom the apple logo is also there it is trying to boot up again but won't. Not sure don't know anything about how to fix things but I suspect the fan has stopped working as I can't hear one. The problem I have I now live in Turkey and I am 1000 km from the nearest apple shop which is in Istanbul I believe and I now live in Didim, Altinkum I don't trust the everyday Turkish shop to take it to as they will tell you they know how to fix it but will probably make it worse, typical in Turkey. Please can someone help as we use it for our business and obviously I need it up and running ASAP I am using IPad and iPhone at moment but can't access my files which are on PC.

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

13" Macbook pro.. Screen washout?? IDK White and blue line on the sides..

Noticed lately that I have some LED washout on the left and right side of the screen that comes in about 1/2 inch, also the bottom has a crazy blue line washout.
What is all the terms used for monitor problems.
Bleed, washout, ghosting and etc.
Thanks

I suggest taking it in for testing and diagnosis. Kernel panics may be either hardware or software related.

HT1386 i have an iphone 4s. Im getting the iphone 5s for christmas, but i do not have my phone backed up, and my phone is not working and my screen is covered with blue lines. I need help.

My iphone is not working, i was planning on getting the iphone 5s for christmas, but i do not have my phone backed up on itunes. On my screen are these blue lines across on my screen, and i cant see anthing and i do not know what to do. I want to back up my phone but i cant see my screen to back it up. I need help badly. Thanks apple hope you can help me in this matter.

You wouldn't need to see the screen to backup unless you have a passcode on the device. Is that the case? You should be able to plug the device into the computer with iTunes and just select backup now.

I dropped my iphone 4s and the screen is black with some blue lines. IS there a way to view my text messages on the computer?

I repaired a cracked iphone 5c screen now I have a black screen with a vertical blue line on the left hand side of the screen. please help!!

Hi all,
Please help, I repaired an iphone 5c and have now tried two different lcd screens on it but all I get is a black screen or a black screen with a vertical blue line on the left hand side of the screen. I definitely have the cables connected properly etc and before I repaired it the phone had a cracked screen and there was a picture on it.
I have tried hard reset and nothing. I have tried connecting to iTunes but it asks me to confirm on the iPhone which I can't do as there is nothing on the display. I have tried randomly pressing all over the screen but it doesn't work. So I can't even try restoring it on iTunes.
Please help any advice will be appreciated! I successfully have repaired iphone 4's and iphone 5 before but this is the first iphone 5c.
Thanks.

Since you were successful the last two times, I'm sure you will figure it out.
