IPhone screen problem. Options?

My iPhone recently developed a touch screen problem. A small portion of the screen will not recognize any touch.
The dead portion is all the way from the left to the right of the screen, about 1-2 cm tall, and is located just above the halfway point.
I bought this iPhone last year at the end of june. Up till now, I have not had any problems that a reset couldnt fix.
But this seems more serious.
If I bring it in, what options will Apple give me? It is under warranty.
In the past I have been to the Apple Genius Bar and seen tech reps hand over a brand new iPhone for issues. But since they dont stock iPhones anymore, is this still a possibility?
I will not pay for a refurb since its under warranty.
Thanks

I have a first generation iphone that all the sudden would not respond to any touch on the home screen, but would respond to powering off. It would also respond to the ipod play menu on the lock screen. Because my iphone is out of warranty I descide to get the 3g iphone and just my luck as soon as I go to play with my new toy it does not respond and when it does respond it does what it wants to. If i push settings it wants notes. I have to slide my finger up and to the right in the middle of the screen in order to turn the thing off. Hopefully my luck changes to good when I try to get them replaced.

thanks in advance!

That looks like a hardware issue with the video circuit. Try a restore and if that doesn't work, get it serviced. If it's under warranty, Apple may just replace it.

IPhone screen problems

what to do when iPhone screen is black and not working, possibly from water damage

UUsually when a phone gets wet you put it in a bag of uncooked rice for 5 to 7 days, but that doesn't guarantee that it will work.
you can get an out of warrant iPhone at the Apple store.

Need help bad, screen problem

PLEASE help, iphone 4 problems.

I just got a iPhone 4 and for the couple of days I have had it, it was working fine. But last night, after pressing my facebook app, i would press it, and then it would automatically go back to the home screen. I thought it was just the app, so i tried another app as well to see if i would get the same respone as the facebook app. When i pressed my other apps, that i have downloaded, i soon came to find that none of the apps would work. I would press them and they would come up for a second or two and then go back to the home screen.I soon then pressed the safari, to go on the browser, and when i pressed safari it opens and closed., I deleted all my apps, and re downloaded them as someone said on here. That didn't work, they still came up and went back to home screen. I added a new free app from the app store, like others on here have said, that didn't work either. I tried to reset my phone last night, "erase all settings" and when i do, the little settings bar just keeps turning on my phone so i stop it, and it never resets. I've called people and they said they were texting me, but i wasn't getting any messages back. I can call out and get calls back, but no one can text me back, and my apps aren't working. WHAT DO I DO!?!?

Hi Baee,
I'm so sorry you are having issues with your phone. Nothing more frustrating that not being able to deal with these issues!
From the sounds of things you will need to backup and restore your device back to default settings. I read in your post that you had tried this. I'm sending alonog an article that will assist you with specifics as how to go about doing this. It sounds to me based on your description that you have nothing more than a good old fashioned case of corrupted apps and once you've restored your device all will be well in the world again!
Don't hesitate to write back if this article does not help out

Original iPhone Screen Problem

Hi,
My son was at a friends house and his iPod screen was hit with a drumstick. Now, about half of the screen is white. Has anyone seen this, or know what may be involved in a repair?
I appreciate any and all help.
Thanks Very Much,
GT

Hello GT, and welcome to the discussions.
Accidental damage is not covered under Apple's warranty - even if this first generation iPhone remains under warranty.
Apple does not offer a menu of repair services for the iPhone. Apple's "repair" price for the first generation iPhone pays for an exchange - exchanged for a refurbished first generation iPhone that includes a warranty.
Apple's "repair" or exchange price is $199 for the 4G/8GB, and $249 for the 16GB plus tax.
There are some 3rd party repair services available, but you will probably discover the cost involved to repair X, or X & Y only via a 3rd party won't be much less than Apple's "repair" price which pays for an exchange that includes a warranty.
You can contact AppleCare about this at (800) 694-7466, or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

My Iphone screen problem

While i am using my iphone i.e 3gs and ios 6.0.1 un jailbraked, suddenly the screen coulour dims (looks like green in colour) then it doesnot respond till i restart it.sometimes after so many try it restarts sucessfully or else whenever the apple logo appears during restart it vanishes after a while.any soultion ?

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't correct the problem Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Iphone screen problem

Hi, I've recently upgraded form the 3g to 3gs and have noticed that when scrolling on certain pages the page seems to flicker, this is especially the case on the app store where even whilst loading lines appear and when you scroll through the pages the whole the flickering is very apparent. This would not be a major problem but i never noticed it on my previous phone but it stood out straight away, is this common with the new phone or OS or is it a defect? any feedback appreciated thanks

I've not noticed this on my iPhone, but I don't use it to visit the app store.
I don't recall reading other such reports, either.

Need Help Black Screen Problem?

My screen keeps going black. I set the "Preferance" to 1 hour but that didn't help.
I am a new Apple user on an older machine -- iBook with MAC OS X (104 Tiger)
Thanks for any suggestions.

Tough to tell, but Might try these things...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these files to the Desktop.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist
(Then Trash the original of these last two, as "moving" them only copies them.)
Then reboot once more.
Have you done a PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
Does it boot into Open Firmware with CMD+Option+o+f ?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42642
reset-nvram (press Enter)
set-defaults (press Enter)
reset-all (press Enter)
It could also be a heat issue, or Videocard/Logic board failing.

Someone Help - Touch Screen Problem

Hi. I bought a HP Touchsmart 300z series desktop yesterday and I have had some problems with the touch screen since I turned on the PC yesterday.
The first thing that happens is when I install a new program the touch feature goes away. Turn off the PC for a bit and fire it back up and it works fine but leads to the next problem.
The next problem is when I start up the PC and the touch screen is working, if the PC is on for about an hour the touchscreen goes off and I am unable to use it. If I turn the computer off for a little bit and turn it back on, the touch screen will work.
Is anyone else having this issue? And wht can I do?

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software11/COL31265/pv-77597-1/sp44376.exe
Please install the driver from the weblink above and restart the computer....
That should work....

Help! Screen Problems

Hi,
I've had my MBP about six months now and in the last week these grey shadows have started to appear on my screen, its like the pixels have half died!! Has anyone experienced this and if they have do they know how it can be stopped and fixed, and if its covered under warranty?
Thanks a million,
Mark

I forgot, I did find this blurb from Apple at this webpage:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25242
It mentions that some of these laptops may need to warm up for over an hour in order to come to full brightness. Mine has been on well over an hour and is still dim on the right side.
