Display showing black lines

My ipod display is showing black lines. What should i do?

Have you worked through the basic 5 R's of troubleshooting yet? If not that would be a good place to start as they can help rule out a software issue.

Otherwise, if none of those work, we know the issue is hardware related. The LCD is probably damaged and in need or a replacement. You can have your iPod serviced or replaced either by Apple or a third party repair company.

New LG204TW 20" widescreen monitor shows black lines ??

Yesterday I picked up the new LG L204TW widescreen monitor for my Intel Mac Mini.
The display is detected by OSX and I can run the native resolution of 1680x1050 @ 60Hz. via DVI.
But there is a sort of flickering of the screen. Actually there are black horizontal lines showing up. This happens mostly when browsing.
When I open for example a Quitime window and move the window of the playing video over the black lines, the lines are gone. So I think it is not the display itself.
Changing the resolution does not help. Any idea how this can be solved?

Hook up another monitor that you have and see if it is your mac, if it isn't your mac then take the LG screen back to the shop, ask for full refund and consider another monitor.

My Ipods LCD Screen Is showing Black Lines

My Ipod Video has black lines across the screen and they're getting bigger everytime I use it. This is the first problem I've had and am wondering should I buy a new one or just get it repaired.

Certainly try this first...

Macbook display shows black and white lines when fullscreen

If i leave my Macbook on for a while without shutting down and then I view a photo or movie (in player or safari) fullscreen the screen shows just black and white lines. Sort of like bad tv reception. It has happened a few times and a reboot has fixed it but it comes back. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks

I have a similar problem. Not sure you're on here (since the post is really old) but did you manage to work it out? How?
My thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19007548#19007548
My Imac froze earlier today as I was dragging an image from safari into indesig and when it froze the weirdest pattern overlaid the screen. It looked just like the opacity pattern from photoshop with grey and white squares. I turned the computer off using the power button and unplugged everything.
Now when I try to start it these weird lines appear on my start up screen (see link)...
http://meijerladdaruppgrejer.wordpress.com/2012/07/24/oops/
as you can see the apple and the wheel appears as normal...
... then it moves to a normal looking white screen (perhaps a bit greener than usual) and around 30 seconds later freezes at the blue screen.
I've tried the cmd + alt + p + r several times but it won't help.
If i press alt during start up I can see and choose my hard drive but just end up at the blue screen again.
Can I try starting it up in safe mode or something?

Has anyone had a problem with a late 2009 27 inch iMac display showing vertical lines?

Can only display and work the computer in safe mode.
When performing a regular boot, the lines appear at the Apple logo and then the screen goes blank and stays blank.
Problem first started couple of weeks ago with the computer/display freezing with "confetti-like" marks all over the screen when returning from screen saver power save mode.
I'd venture to guess it's a graphics card issue. Any input would be appreciated.

Hi MateoL, sorry for bothering you with this old problem you had, but I have the same iMac, and I think the exact same issue. I wanted to ask you whether you managed to solve this issue? What was the cause of it? I am trying to figure what would be the best thing to do.
Like you, after some tests/repairs my screen went back to normal, but soon enough it went back to this state. How about you?
Thanks a lot!

Display showing grid lines and craziness.

How can I find out what is causing this issue?
From what I've read it could possibly be a failing graphics card, failing LCD, or loose wire.
Here are my specs:
iMac (27-inch, Late 212)
Processor: 3.4 GHZ Intel Core i7
Memory: 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 (upgraded myself)
Startup Disk: Macintosh HD
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB
I'm a photographer and videographer, so I'm sure my graphics card gets quite a workout often. I've also come back to find that my computer has restarted itself, likely due to the issue.

I would make an appointment with a Genuis and show them the screen prints. I had this issue with a Macbook and it was a motherboard issue. That does not mean your issue is the same - but it needs to be checked. Screen prints like yours are so helpful for them to diagnose.

Laptop Display shows distorted lines when connected to external projector

After updated to 10.6.3 my laptop screen doesn't work in presentation mode with a projector or external monitor connected. The remote image works fine, it is just the laptop screen which distorts. Is anyone else having similar problems? Has anyone worked out how to fix this?

This has been reported by three other keynote users on this forum but Apple has not fixed it yet.

IPad Crashes-Black Lines and makes random restarts

This barely happens before on my ipad until recently my teacher confiscates my ipad. After this going on, my ipad kept on undergoing multiple crashes and restarts. When I was rotating my screen or opening an app, it shows black lines and restarts by its own.
I tried system reset and restore but none of it seems to work.

Mouse problems and black lines in the timeline

Hi, I recently bought Premier Elements 9 and updated it after the installation. When I try to open a new project, my mouse is moving around fine, but when i click on the different options nothing happens. I have to move around using my keyboard, and that's a pain compared to using just the mouse. I have a wireless Logitech keyboard and mouse with the latest drivers and a Dell XPS 8100 w/ATI HD 5670, 4 GB RAM, lots of free disk space, Windows 7. When i finally manage to open a new projekt the timeline blanks when i move my mouse inside it making it impossible to move stuff around. My mouse works fine in the working space, but when a dialog box opens, it won't let me click on the different options, so I have to use Tab an Enter to make my selections. Does anybody know what my problem is and how to fix it? (I have downloaded and installed all the latest drivers)

As a test, can you by-pass the Logitec SetPoint driver and choose one of the generic MS mouse drivers?
I have an older Logitec wireless mouse and keyboard (replaced by a USB keyboard), and my wireless mouse works fine without SetPoint.
Going back, there were some issues with some SetPoint drivers, and also some MS InteliPoint drivers. For those "bad drivers," going with the MS generic fixed things, until a new Logitec (or InteliPoint) driver came out.
Also, I have seen some mouse issues, when I had several non-editing apps, like MS Outlook also open. Some apps. really steal CPU cycles, even if not active, but minimized. Just something to keep in the back of your mind.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - also check for any video, and audio driver updates. Go to Dell, or nVidia, or ATI, and Realtek for the audio, and check. Video drivers can cause some very odd issues, and part of yours seem to be display - the black lines.

Random black lines in different application screens

My MacBook Pro is displaying random black lines across the screen on various applications. They stay on the screen even if I scroll up and down, but don't go onto background applications or the desktop. Has anyone else had this issue?
I'd be happy to email a screenshot.

Uninstalled iTunes completely and found a older firmware for the iPod. Installed it. Then installed the iTunes 7 but did not have the iTunes update the iPod. Worked like a charm! No more black lines.

Powerbook display BLACK LINE OF DEATH

Well, I just spent most of my evening replacing the LCD screen on my old G3 Wallstreet. My old display was showing neon greens and magentas in the blacks so I decided to replace it. I received an awesome factory display in what looked like perfect condition.
I haven't replaced a display on a Wallstreet before and it was a mess. I was quite pleased with myself at the end that I somehow got everything back together without any leftover parts.
Well, needless to say after some backlight problems and tearing it apart twice I finally got it up and running.
But...
Now I have a diagonal black line going down my screen. It's about as thick as a sharpie line and it worries me.
Did I goof somewhere or did I get gipped on my new display? I've tried restarting and I'm keeping it on for an hour or so to make sure it doesn't start smoking, heh.
Any suggestions/answers?

I give up.
It's most likely a bad cable but now it is also running much slower than usual, too. I think I'm going to abandon this project for now.
Poor Wallstreet. I tried. I really did.

Ios8.....hate!'After upgrading my iPad will do nothing except refuse to take a charge display a black screen or a battery red line or the occasional apple logo. Have tried soft boot and hard boot and nothing!,!

Hello there, Victoria.
Great job on troubleshooting on your own. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps to review and additional recomendations:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Resolving issues
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge until your device turns on. This could take between 10 and 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue persists, please contact Apple Support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Bad Screen Laptop Screen - showing blue lines instead of black

I have an old laptop HP Pavilion DV7-1448dx, the screen shows blue lines instead of black. I tried using TV as a monitor and it doesnt have any problem, it only shows on the laptop. I replaced the LCD screen with a brand new screen but it still shows the same problem. I attached the pictures of what my screen looks like. It only shows this on the black color and the others are ok. Pls help!

@luv2travl ,
Hello and welcome to the HP support forum. Thank you for posting about your display issue.
It sounds as if the RGB output of the graphics card has become a bit off in your case. You have replaced the screen so the output that supplies the LCD from the graphics card is the issue.
As you stated on a VGA output to a TV it looks normal. Therefor it isnt the card totally having the problem.
Here is a link you can check out on display issues.
Display Quality Issues
Here is a link to your systems Maintenance and Service guide as well. One thing you may want to check is the actual cable that connects the screen to the motherboard. This is the easiest and cheapest part to work with.
If you replace the connection cable from the motherboard to the monitor this may fix the issue.

Ssrs 2008 r2 black line incorrectly being displayed

In an existing SSRS 2008 r2 report, I just added a page header so that I can display global values in the page header like run date, run time, and page number. Within the report header, I placed all the report header data within a rectangle. Now when I run
the report, there is a black line appearing after the report header but before the details of the report.
I have changed all the border colors to be white and the borderstyle to none. The black solid line between last part of report header to before the detail data keeps appearing.
Thus can you tell me how to keep this black line from end of pageheader or rectangle to before the detail data from appearing?

Hi wendy,
According to your description, I taken a simple test in my local environment (SSRS 2008R2). In my scenario, I insert a page header in the report, then use a rectangle to contain all the items (such as global values) within the page header after creating
a table in the report body. While everything goes well, and there is no such a black line between page header and report body.
As per my understanding, may be you have set the BorderColor property to Black and BorderStyle to Solid of Page header or Rectangle or Report Body. So we can double check those item properties in the report.
If this issue still exists, could you please post the .rdl file and your dataset with sample datato us by the following E-mail address? It is benefit for us to do further analysis.
