Dots/lines on LCD Screen

A few days ago, I noticed a dark gray/black dot on my screen.... ran a few "pixel fix" programs to no avail and decided to take it in.
Today, the dot is still there and there's also a line (kinda looks like a hair) but it's not on the surface. I have an appt. at genius bar Monday. Should I lobby to have them replace the screen???
Thanks.

Genius replaced screen. Thanks AppleCare.

  • They are dotted lines across the screen horizontally.

    When I upgrading to Lion Mountain, now I see somes "Drops" in the images. They are dotted lines across the screen horizontally. I reformatted and reinstalled OS 10.8.2, but the problem persists. I went to service, thought it was a video card problem, but it was not.

    I have this too! I just bought this iMac a few months back. These screen are having a lot of troubles from what I am reading. My horizontal lines are not that bad, but you can notice them.
    I might sell these computer off quick as apparently the quality of these screens is a nightmare.

  • Help! N95 8GB Horizontal Lines on LCD Screen getti...

    I was getting a few horizontal lines across my screen of my N95 8GB. Switching the slider from portrait to landscape doesn't change the direction of the lines.
    The lines have been getting progressively thicker to the point where now it's hard to read anything on the phone.
    Do I have a dying screen?
    I've take the slider apart, detached and reattached the screen and ribbon cable connector, and it doesn't make any difference.
    Should I buy a replacement screen or is there something else that could be wrong? The rest of the phone functions perfectly fine.

    Hi calciumicon,
    It would probably be best to have your device checked by a Nokia Care point. From what you describe it might be the screen needs to be replace. The N95 is a model which has been out of production for a while though so check to verify it can still be repaired.

  • Dotted line through on screen

    I have the ipad 64gb with the retina screen. I just went to unlock it and noticed a blue/green spotted like acrossed the screen. the ipad still seems to be working fine. Its is a line of dotts about 1 pixel in width that runs across the screen about 1/3 of the way down from the facetime camera. I just bought this Ipad about a month ago. Please if anyone can help that would be great. it is downloading iOS 6 so i dont know if that has something to do with the issue.

    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • Cant enter LCD Bist. Have Loads of Changing vertical lines on lcd screen.

    I have classical problem on Pavilion DV6 laptop with LDC-problems. Screen is full of vertical lines changing with each frame. 
    Different forums advice to try  a BIST TEST. but cant enter. Not by starting while holding "fn" or "D". What to do?

    BangL,
    Try updating your graphics driver and BIOS version. Here are the drivers for your computer, install the graphics driver first then once that has completed do the BIOS.  When you update the BIOS please have the AC adapter plugged in throughout the process.
    When you do the BIOS install, do version F.21 dated 09-27-2011. Once that is done see if the lines still show.
    Please respond back at your earliest convenience.

  • Horizontal lines on lcd screen (T61)

    Hello - I am currently using a T61 thinkpad. I noticed that across the entire screen, there is are thin horizontal lines all over the place sort of like a photoshop scanline-effect; is there a way to fix this? If it is dark black or all white, the lines are not visible, but in all other cases (shades, other colors), I can see it. If I move it really close to the screen, they disappear, but looking at it from a normal viewing distance I can see them.
    Thanks,
    - Eli

    That wasn't the help I had in mind.  Does your screen exhibit the same sort of pattern as the inline images?  Also, there is a link to some screen tests in the post below those images, and you could run those tests to adjust your T61.  You can also use the tests to compare your T61 to some other (known) display.
    If you decide you need the screen serviced and you're within the first 21 days of ownership, you can have it serviced onsite.  See here (below the diagram).
    I apologize for not including more detail in my first reply.  I don't know why you weren't able to read my mind.

  • A white dotted line just suddenly appear across my screen

    my laptop  is hp pavillon 15 notebook  ([edited])
    After visiting the game app on my desktop. i noticed a white dotted line across the screen of my laptop.
    what could be the cause? and will it go away?

    Hello @kenny118 ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you have a white dotted line across the screen of your display.
    It would help to know which product and operating system you are using. It looks like you've posted the serial number instead. For information on finding your product and model numbers click here: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? To see which version of Windows you are using click here: Which Windows operating system am I running?
    The easiest way to tell if this is an issue with the display or graphics card (GPU) is to try an external monitor. If the issue is present on another display, you're looking at a hardware or software issue with the GPU. If the line is not present on the external monitor it's an issue with the display.
    Line on monitor:
    Update the GPU drivers from this website: Drivers & Downloads.
    System restore to before the issue started. Tap F11 while the notebook boots to access the HP Recovery Manager.
    No line on monitor:
    Reseat to display cable connection. I can provide more info on this once you've provided the product number for the notebook.
    Contact HP Phone support for service options: You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.
    I look forward to your reply!

  • Blue and dotted lines on Tecra series!!

    I own a Toshiba Tecra laptop, and I recently got viruses through downloading music.
    I was using my laptop this afternoon when it suddenly froze, with the screen image turning slightly pinkish.
    I rebooted, but the windows Vista startup screen with the logo and black background had blue, dotted, vertical lines all accross it...and it never actually booted up.
    I tried doing system restores and startup repairs and whatnot, and nothing worked, so I reformatted. After this, the computer seemed fine for a minute or two.
    But when I had to restart as a part of the reformatting process, I had the same problem. After some messing around with the laptop and another attempt to repair startup issues, I got the computer back up again.
    I just restarted it for sh*ts and giggles, and it worked fine. BUT, the blue dotted lines are still there (only on that first screen with the logo)! The computer runs fine, as I'm posting this from it right now, but the blue lines concern me, as I've read online that this can be a problem with a graphics card or something.
    Oh, and one more thing: my bottom toolbar is cutoff, only displaying half of it...can't really read the time...is the screen shifted down or something? Is there some way to fix this?
    Any thoughts/suggestions about the 1)blue dotted lines or 2)screen being shifted slightly downward?
    Thanks!

    Since its happening in DOS as well, it cannot be a software problem. It sounds like the screen or mainboard may need replacing.
    I suggest you bring the laptop to a service center for repair.

  • Burnt LED line in my LCD screen

    I have a burnt led line in my LCD screen on my Mid 2011 MacBook Pro, I found a place that sells the part (I understand Apple does not sell such at the Apple Stores in the US). My question to the community is, if I purchase the replacement LCD screen, can I take it to an Apple Store and pay for them to replace it?
    Thank you in advance,
    Franklin

    The mercury you are talking about is actually found in the backlight... not the display itself (and in very small quantities). You would pretty much have to smash the display in order to damage the fluorescent light behind it. Most newer notebooks use LED backlighting which does not contain mercury.

  • My lcd screen have a thin horizontal line

    i bought my MCP two weeks ago, and today i was using i movie, and i was doing this render and from one moment to another this thin line appears in my lcd screen, its like gray, im not sure whats wrong? i alfready restart the computer ans it still in there, and its goes through all left to right in my computer the size its like a pixel i think so, can somebody help me?

  • Red dotted line appear on the screen

    There is a red dotted horizontal line will occasionally appear on the playbook's screen while I'm browse the web. It will stay there for from seconds to minutes. That only appear with the browser app and happen once on the Pictures app. Seems like a software problems? Or hardware( stuck pixies)?
    Anyone gets clue about what is this thing about?
    Updated: Just found out there are blue dotted line as well.

    Hi Byron,
    I am creating an application that could possibly identify and fix your issue. Based on the pictures, it could be one of three things
    Dead Pixels
    Misbehaving Pixels
    Hardware/Screen defect
    The app will try to solve 1 & 2 by cycling through all the pixels using an algorithm I made. Hopefully this will fix.
    Cheers

  • Vertical dotted line along left side of screen

    Hey everyone! I have a HP Envy d7 select edition with WIndows 8 OS. Brand new, just purchased last week. It already has a line in the screen and I don't know how to fix it. I'm also unable to access my university's network because it needs a new update (even though I just updated it and it was fine the day before.) WIndows update is not working for me. The program just freezes when I try to check for updates. I noticed the line after this occured. Thanks for any help!

    Hi there @alphy13
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
    I understand that you are seeing pixels on one sude of the built in display, and that external monitors connected to the notebook are fine. I am happy to help with this.
    Please post the full product number for your notebook. See the following, if you need help with that information.
    How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Since the lines do not appear on the external displays, it shows that your notebooks graphic adapter is good, and also your driver. It may be a setting for the resolution of your primary display, but it is more likely that the display is going bad.  But to help determine which it is, take a look at the following pages and see if anything matches, or helps to resolve the issue.

  • My MacBook LCD screen got grey fuzzy dot

    Hi all,
    My Macbook book just used for ~ 3 months old, today when I start
    to draft some letter at pages I noticed my LCD screen having one gray
    fuzzy dot at one specific location of the LCD screen. I try to on/off the macbook
    but the dot still appeared permanently at that specific location of LCD screen.
    I would like to know if any one of you have facing this problem before? and
    what the solution for this problem...?

    Is it in the menubar? I know that I thought that I was having screen problems but as it turned out that it was just part of my background that was getting blurred by the menubar.
