Colour lines appear across screen of iPad

No accidents, or misshaps.
Just appeared and won't go away with any attempt to reset.
Heard $410 to repair.
has anyone found a solution
Appreciatively,  harbourlights.

If they are like little streaks across the screen, they are probably dead pixels. Have you had this iPad for a long time? Usually this happens with older devices. I don't know of a way to fix this but if you heard that there is a way to repair is, and you think you want to do this, go ahead. But typically I would suggest that if this is an important thing, you should get a new iPad...
Sorry that I couldn't help.

    Try a reset: Press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
    If that didn't fix things, do a restore:

    If that still didn't fix the issue, then there is probably a hardware problem.

  • I have vertical colored lines appearing on the Mini Ipad screen

    I have vertical colored lines appearing on the Mini Ipad screen

    I had the same problem with my first gen ipad mini. The solution was not  to do a hard reset, but instead to push the sleep/off button until the  red slider appeared, then slide to OFF. Wait a few seconds then push the  sleep/home button until the Apple logo appeared. The lines were gone.  I  called Apple Support and they wanted $19 to troubleshoot over the phone  and $99-$199 to bring to the nearest Apple store. This may not be a  permanent fix, but it resolved the issue. I purchased my ipad mini from a  local electronics store in May of this year. Believing it to be new and  still under warranty I called the AppleCare store and discovered that  it had "previously" been purchased in November a year ago and was no  longer in warranty. As stated, I've had the device since May and it has  worked wonderfully until today when I turned it on and it had colored  vertical lines displayed on the screen. The lines would change color at  times and even became a solid black stripe. The strange thing was that  when taking a screen shot the lines were not noticeable and didn't show  up on the picture. The Customer Care support tech told me to search  other display issues. On one of the support threads it had something to  do with videos/video apps and that is where I saw to do the SLIDER OFF.  It worked even when the hard RESET had not.

    Is it working properly when it is connected to power?

    Please clarify...  Does the screen look "normal" (and is it turned "on") when connected?  When you disconnect it, "lines appear across the screen"?  If it "wont turn on," how are there lines (or anything) appearing on the screen?

    Hi
    The majority of issues with lines appear to require a new screen or the ribbon connector between the screen and the board is loose. These could be caused by mis-treatment although not always and I'm sure you would have mentioned if you had dropped the BB. So it does seem likely that this app has caused the problem.
    Uninstalling doesn't completely remove an app from the device, hence why it makes no difference. Before sending the device away for service (or fixing a new screen yourself) it will be worth wiping the device and reinstalling the OS. I would be tempted not to reload the problem app, there has been comment on here about the benefits - use the search facility above right if you are interested.

  • Why do black lines appear across the message part of emails when I first open Thunderbird

    - See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.. It bypasses the passcode (and erases the iPod)
    - Next try DFU mode

  • I suddenly get Ghost lines appear across my while using Clone or History tool about every 4th click!

    While I'm using the Clone or History tool suddenly a straight line appears across my picture I'm working on. It's the width of the diamiter of the tip size I'm using at the time. It pops up from anywhere on the work space and connects to my curser where ever I happen to be on my next stroke when I click again. to get rid of it I need to "un do" enough to make it dalete but if working quickly I've lost some work  and thus need to redo it. VERY non-productive!! Help!

    Could you also give some information about your computer? You could post part of your system information (and REMOVE YOUR SERIAL NUMBER).
    Usually, making sure that you installed the latest updates for  Photoshop, the Operating System and Graphic card drivers fixes most issues.

  • Satellite P30-110: coloured lines on the screen

    Hi
    I have a big problem with my laptop. There are thin, thick, coloured lines on my screen and some of them disappears after i switch it on. My warranty is expired about 7 months ago and i was wondering if i am still entitled to extend my warranty for this laptop? Once it's been extended, if any repairing are reuqired are they gonna be free of charge again?
    Thank you for your helps

    Hi
    I have anticipated this. Its not possible to register the extended warranty if the standard warranty was expired.
    However, its not 100% sure that the LCD screen has malfunction. Maybe a fl inverter malfunctions. Such part is not very expensive.
    But to be sure about the fault, the check is needed.
    We can discuss why it happens and why after one year of usage but I think it make no sense. You know this is a high-tech technology and its always possible that something going wrong. My HDD on the desktop PC died after 5 month of usage. Its should died after such short time but it did. So you know, everything is possible and therefore its recommended to register the notebooks for a extended warranty.
    I have bought a extended warranty for my new flat screen TV. It cost a little bit more but Im on the safe side.

  • HT201263 does the smart cover magnet strip affect the ipad screen by making colour lines appear on the screen when opened or unlocked by the cover

    Does using the magnetic smart cover affect the ipad by causing stripes of interference lines over the screen, then when opening and shutting would revert to a normal home screen, But repeatedly does this lines on screen effect and then eventually the whole screen goes white!

    No. It should not do that.

  • Thin vertical lines appearing on screen, since wakeup from sleep mode.

    My Mac G5, 2GHz, DVD-R, 1GB DDR RAM, OSX 10.4.10, ATI RADEON X800 XT has recently developed a display issue. On start-up the screen shows vertical lines across the entire screen. The colors of theses lines is varying from green to black, depending of the background color. The lines are appearing from the grey loading screen and when a profile is logged in.
    Shutting down and restarting doesn't cure the problem, nor does staring in safe mode nor starting up from an install CD. I also tried re-installing the operating system, but I get the same result. I tried another monitor but I also get the lines on screen. I verified all the cables and that the graphic card is well in place in the pci slot.
    If I change the resolution, I also get thoses lines but they change place on screen. Also, if I set the colors level to 256 colors, I get very little single lines but If I set the color level to the highest (36,7 Millions), the lines appears in group of 5+ and are all over the screen.
    I tried taking a screenshot using the shortcut cmd-shift-3 and I can see the line in the pictures. Also, if I take a screenshot of a window that is behind the window in the front ( using cmd-shift-4-space ), I dont see the line on the screen shot.
    I started to have this problem when my mac was woke up from sleep mode and the problem has persisted since then.
    I guess my problem is the graphic card but I would like an external opinion before I got buy another one.
    Thanks

    Any new results?
    I'm having the same issue. Looks like this, but at a slight angle and different RGB colors (almost like JPG artifacting).
    Started this evening after a cold boot. I just put my X800 XT Mac G5 edition in 2 weeks ago. No real heavy use either, as I've been gone for a week.
    Looks to me like bad VRAM (according to TechTool Deluxe). I'm running the AHT now and will hopefully come to a final conclusion soon. I did test my 20" Apple monitor (DVI) with my laptop and there was no problem...so it is definitely the video card. Not sure if the aforementioned ATI ROM extender will fix it or not.
    Much luck to all of us who are having this problem.

  • Horizontal White Line Right Across Screen iPod Classic 120GB

    I bought an Apple iPod Classic 120GB 14 months ago. I have looked after it very carefully (it hasn't even left the house) and only used it sparingly. Last week an annoying horizontal white line appeared right across the screen. I have tried all the recommended including resetting it.
    Having trawled the internet forums and asked at my local Apple franchise dealer this seems to be a common fault with the screen hardware. I gather I can expect more line to appear over the next few weeks. I followed Apple's online repair procedure and once I ticked the box for 'screen problem' there is another drop down box with about 4 options. One of these refers to horizontal or vertical lines across the screen so Apple must be aware of this fault. At the next stage I was advised that I must pay approx £95 before the iPod could be repaired or replaced.
    I subsequently phoned their Customer Services Department in India to ask why I was being charged so much for what was clearly a manufacturing fault and was told that they had no authority to offer discounts for repairs. Having asked to speak to someone who could help I was put through to Apple in Ireland.
    The person I spoke to again repeated that Apple would only repair the iPod if I paid £95. He claimed it was a very rare problem but they were aware of it. I suggested that if this was true, surely they would want to replace or repair the iPod free of charge or at least for a reasonable price. The answer to this was no. I asked how long they expected iPods to last as 14 months did not seem very long. He said that he couldn't answer my question. I would have thought that it was reasonable to expect a life cycle of nearer 5 years for an high quality mp3 player. I feel that if an iPod fails after only 14 months it is hardly fit for purpose.
    Has anyone else experienced this?

    this is the exact same problem as mine (mine is classic 80GB) :[
    it started happening out of nowhere, for no reason too. it happened 10 days ago, and ive had it for 2 years 3 months
    in addition to the line across my screen, there are some scattered dots above it that move around everytime i turn off my ipod and turn it back on, which is really odd and at first funny but now just very sad.
    please please tell me if you find a solution (minus the huge fix cost), and/or email me at [email protected]

  • 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.
