Flickering/Static Line on iphone 4 screen!

Hi guys
I was just after a bit of advice if I may...
I bought my brand new iphone 4 barely 2 weeks ago, a few mere hours after switching it on I have this flickering (horizontal) white line appearing on the same part of the screen, at first I thought it may be a fluke but it comes and goes during the day (every day!) Sometimes it flickers for a few seconds, other times it is static for a day/hours. I packaged my phone off to apple and received it back this morning (apparantly they could not diagnose the problem). Anyway low and behold an hour after turning it on this darn line re-appears then disappears etc...!!
Would it be worth me going to a genius bar to see what they can do for me? (I have video evidence on my ipod) Is it possible for me to get a replacement?
I'm really not sure what do for my next step?
Thanks in advance everyone - Geri.

Your warranty is for 1 year, so you are definitely covered by the first year warranty. The 90 days is just for free technical support.
Since this sounds like a hardware problem, you will need to contact Apple about it. If you have access to an Apple Store, make an appointment at the genius bar so you can show them the line. If not, call Apple and tell them you have a hardware problem and ask them if there is perhaps an AASP close to you who could have a look at it.
It is not too late to get 3 year Applecare--if you do, you will have not only a total of 3 years warranty, but 3 years of free tech support as well.
Good luck!

Blue line scanning iPhone screen

Hi! I have a strange problem with my iPhone 5. A transparent blue line of a half inch is scanning my screen from left to right. Not only it's weird but also it makes the running application crash! This problem occurred after iOS 7 and it did not go away with the update. Does anyone experience this problem ?

Hi, Honeyatapple.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Before processing any of these steps, make sure to backup your data.

I would start with processing the steps for display issues in the link below.

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
The last step would be to restore the device and test the results after the restore. If the issue persists, see the last section labeled Issue not resolved in the article above.

Flickering horizontal lines across the screen

My Toshiba LCD TV has a thin black line going across the screen. TV is just a year old and is not under warranty. I've seen some comments that the LCD panel needs replacing. Is this my only option? Any other thoughts? Thanks.

Our Toshiba Regza Cinemax TV has been acting up, it has shadowing, sometimes horizontal and vertical lines. They are worst on the left side of screen. Anyone know what part may need to be replaced. This has been doing this for quite a while, it comes and goes. Paid almost $3,000 for this piece of crap it should have lasted more than five years.

Horizontal lines on iphone screen

My iPhone 5 less than two months old suddently started showing a serices of horizontal bands on the screen. Now it displays a consistant one inch wide band on all screens. Apple will allow me to send it back for a replacement phone but not a new phone which is really unfair. Apparently I can take it back to an Apple store and they will supposedly give me a New phone if I ask for one... Anyone had this problem with their display resolved favorably?

Problem solved! I took my phone in to the Apple Store. The tech gave me the classic "I'm going to have to remove the screen protector to diagnose this". I thought to myself "there is no way the screen protector is causing this, but cest la vie" and pulled it off. And SURPRISE! It WAS the screen protector. I'm using an invisible shield. Been using their screen protectors for YEARS and never saw anything like this. At MacWorld I asked one of their reps, and they said the sometimes get defective batch that has some minor imperfections like this. They were happy to replace it for me.

Sometimes I get fine horizontal jumpy static lines on my screen pavilion g6

is this going to get worst, is it interference. it goes away if I restart the computer

Uninstall the HP power management program. This worked for me....so far...it's been a couple of days.

Request help for iphone screen flickering

I'm using iphone 4. Few days ago (before the software update 6.0.1) i noticed my iphone screen is flickering and blurred.this bug was not fixed after IOS update 6.0.1. Thus showing horizontal lines in the screen.
please help me

I did resolve it. I did the reset while the phone was plugged into my computer at home (holding down the home button and power button at the same time, until it shuts down and reboots). It took a few tries but eventually it showed the icon of the plug going into the icon for iTunes. From iTunes, I did a restore from an older backup, and then reinstalled the update from the computer. Now it works just fine. I wonder if maybe the update was just too hefty to pull down via the cellular network.
If you never did a backup of your phone to iTunes or the cloud, then you'll likely have to do a restore to factory conditions and then do the update. Incovenient, but better than a paperweight

A few months back I Dropped my iPhone 4 and I cracked my screen and now i cant unlock my phone due to touch screen not working plus there are blurred lines across the screen and I can't see anything that it displays.
Now when I try too connect my iPhone 4 to iTunes on my computer at home an error message comes up saying that I have to unlock my iPhone 4 for it to communicate to my device.
But the problem is that I can't unlock my iPhone 4 because I'm unable to see the key pad and my touch screen no longer responds when I touch it.
I just want to reset my iPhone 4 back to its Factory Settings & start all over from the beginning.
How can I unlock my iPhone 4 with iTunes on my computer or any other option you suggest me trying.
Thank you in advance,
SiHero

If you have had a "local guy "repair your iphone you will not get any support from Apple for warranty OR post warranty
If Verizon return it to Apple it wil not be handled by Apple
If Verizon also use unauthorised repairers you may be lucky
(Apple do not sell parts to local guys or anyone else )

My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help.

By far the most common problem hardware-wise seems to be scuffs on the aluminium. Yours is the first report of a faulty screen I've seen.
If you use the same Apple ID on both devices it'll sync whatever you want it to - music/apps/photos/messages/etc.
I've just switched from a Galaxy S3 to iPhone 5 (having already owned an iPad for a while) so I'm in a similar position!

Screen Issues with MacBook Pro (Static Lines)

Hey guys. I aam having problems with my Screen/Display on my Macbook Pro.
Static lines appear aprox 1/3 of the way in from the right side. The lines run horizontally about 1 inch in length and running vertically all the way down the display. A screen shot shows a normal working display. Took a pic of the problem:
I cannot run hardware tools. My computer did not come with a disc and I know they are only a shipping charge but I do not have even $5. I am a student and this is my only way to do my schoolwork. The Screen (inner display and outer protective screen) was replaced by Apple in May '12. The 1 yr warranty ran out in June '12. When the screen was replaced it started doing this as well, but had not gotten this bad. There are now 2 where there was only one yesterday. I am wondering if it may be the cable as moving the display often fixes or produces the problem. I know the cable is not very expensive and not to difficult to replace.
Here is the info on my Mac:
Nice Name:
Machine Model: MacBookPro9,1
Name: MacBook Pro (mid 2012) 15 inch
Family name: A1286
Model Number: MD103
Group1: MacBook
Group2: Pro
Generation:
CPU speed: 2.3GHz
Screen size: 15.4 inch
Screen resolution: 1440x900 pixels
Colour: Aluminium
Production year: 2012
Production week: 13 (April)
Model introduced: 2012
Memory - flavour: DDR3-S-1600
Memory - number of slots: 2
Memory - maximum total: 16GB
Memory - largest module: 8GB
Factory: C0 (Quanta Computer (Susidiary = Tech Com))

It is getting worse in the sense that it is occuring more often and taking longer to resolve. Moving the laptop lid/display would typically fix the prblem in the past but now it is hit or miss. Even vibrations will cause the issue to occur or resolve. We are leaning more towards the issue being a cable and not the display. Since taking a screenshot produces a pic without issues I would gather that the video card is fuctioning properly. I welcome any comments on this.

Interlacing/ Scan Lines on iPhone 4S Screen + Yellow tint!

Hi everyone I bought my 64gb IPhone last week and noticed that I have faint interlacing lines on my screen. My serial starts with c39 and I am extremely dissatisfied. I had my iPhone 4 replaced last year and the replacement had this issue as well. I am so sick of Apples qc lately. You can really notice the issue when the display is showing a light grey bg and also the iMovie and Facebook icons. Please respond if you are experiencing this issue. I also have the yellow tinted screen. What is going on Apple?

I have the some issue with you.I found this interlacing issue with my last Iphone4 in july 2011,and then got 2 replaced iphones having the same problem.when I get my new iphone4S these days,I found the same issue,although its Not easy to observe,and MUCH BETTER then my last iphone4,but its defintely there,I can also notice it!

Let me know what happened,thanks.

Dropped my iPhone 4s and now there are lines across the screen?! Help!

Hey everyone!
So, I have recently dropped my iPhone 4S and now there are all these blue vertical lines across the screen, which occasionally change colour also.
I am still able to receive messages and calls, and siri still works, it's simply that I can't see a single thing I am doing- which is very difficult!
I was wondering if this is an issue that needs to be fixed at an Apple store- and if so, how much it would cost? Or if I would be able to fix it myself somehow.
N.B: I've tried to reset it, it doesn't work. I have also tried to restore the iPhone, but iTunes won't let me do this as I have to have the 'find my iPhone' app turned off, which I cannot do because I can't see anything I'm doing!
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions,
Kirstoodles.

Yes. It's broken. A replacement will cost you $199.

The iPhone is not user servicable. Apple does not sell parts for the iPhone. any parts you could get are either stolen, counterfeit, or salvaged. Atempting to fix it yourself will render it unsupportable and forfeit your right to service from Apple, including an out of warranty replacement.
