Horizontal line iPhone 5 screen defect...

I just got my phone yesterday and noticed a glitching line running horizontally about 3/4 of an inch above the home screen button. I immediately registered the phone with apple and am calling them today to sort things out.
<Re-titled By Host>

I am having the same problem with my iPhone 5 black 32gb, which I purchased yesterday at a Verizon store. I initially thought the sceen problem was with the Otterbox Defender screen protector (oil between the screen and screen protector). When I took the case off, it's clear that the defect is in under the surface of the glass. It has light banding around the edges and a very prominent bubble-like smear (as if someone swiped a greasy finger)across the LCD that cannot be seen straight on, but only from an angle. I'm disappointed and I hope I will not have problems swapping it out for a non-defective unit.

Just for interest sake i watched this video on youtube where this guy had the same problem but the difference is that he had it on an iPad. he opened the ipad up and did something on the ipad, it took less than a minute then his ipad worked.
I would appreciate it if someone would respond to this as fast as they can i am so stressed.

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.
aloha,

Nokia N95 (A6.02)

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.

I have a straight horizontal line across my screen

Hi Folks
have a straight horizontal line across my screen. Can assist?

Yes, move the screen slowly back and forth, if it changes, you have a damaged monitor feed cable
Does it appear in all screens?
Does it vanish from time to time?
post a pic, hook your AIr up to an external monitor, if its there, its GPU /logic problem
if its gone, its as mentioned a bad monitor feed from the logic via the cable.
perform SMC reset and re-verify
SMC reset
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
Contact Apple for an appt. for in shop diagnostics and likely repair.

Fuzzy horizontal lines on the screen after updating iphone 4 to ios 7

After updating from ios 6 to ios 7.0.2 on iphone 4 the image rendering on the screen get worse, showing a lot of fuzzy horizontal lines everywhere.
I spot this problem while brosing trough the home screen or when the phone is locked.
I already updated to the newest version (7.0.3) but the problem seems to persist.
When I open the Camera app the problem reach the highest ratio of fuzzy lines making impossible to me to recognize subjects!
Someone know how to solve this problem?
Many thanks for considering my request,

Horizontal line flicker on screen

Lately I have noticed sometimes that I will see a horizontal line will flicker on the screen and then go away. Like when you turn on a screen and its adjusting because you just turned it on. But its been on the whole time. What to do?

I've been seeing this for at least three or four months. I'm concerned because these things seem to get progressively worse, though at least until now I haven't noticed any increase in frequency or severity. Just as described above, a thin, grey looking, horizontal line will flash extremely briefly at a seemingly random vertical position on the screen. Sometimes it won't happen for a while, sometimes it will happen two or three times a day.
I can't say for sure because it happens infrequently and I haven't been paying attention to it lately, but I want to say the lines only appear when I'm on the low-power 9400M graphics card, rather than the 9600M GT.

How can I rid these lines

That is a possibility but it's more likely that the problem is the LCD panel.

Notebook dv7t. Red transparent horizontal lines across entire screen.

I need to know if it's as bad as I suspect. 2-1/2 yr old notebook dv7t on Win 7, with 17.2" monitor. No error messages. Troubleshooting finds nothing. Never had any problems before. All day yesterday, Tuesday 8/19, rebooting and shutting down repeatedly without success. Today, nothing, no lines!. Gotta expect it to happen again. No update available for NVidia GeForce card. Can anyone please advise? Thank you. Sillenn

15"PB - Horizontal Lines On The Screen

Hi, I have a 15"PowerBook 1,67GHz with 2GB Kingston RAM and enjoyed a lot.
But just 6 days after it's 1 Year International Guarantee is over (9 March
2006) some horizontal lines started to appear in the LCD screen.
I took my PB to AppleIMC-Bilkom technical service. And they say "the
problem is in your Logic Board and must be changed"... This means 1000YTL in our country. I am an university student, I earn my own money and still
paying my PB' s monthly payments. I don't have money, in addition to this my
father is a cancer patient and ChemoThearpy takes from us lots of money and
happiness. I earn money with my musical projects which I make them with my
PB and Logic Pro7.
AppleIMC-Bilkom added that a user can't cause this problem. And I am a very
carefull user. So does anybody have an advice for me what to do? I can't reach Apple Team, they headed my way to the discussion forums.
I love Apple products, but I am loosing confidence in Apple while I am drowning with the problems which don't belong to me. Where is the Apple trustworthiness that I spend a lot of money for?
Thanks all for the time that you spend.

If you check the terms of your monthly payments you may find that your warranty is covered for ther period of your payments.

Grey Horizontal lines accross the screen

My iphone has grey horizonal lines accross the screen. Everyday they seem to get longer. Is there a way of fixing this?

My 1st gen iphone is also doing this now.. The top line is all grey and now the second from top has also started and moving across daily
Out of warranty and jailbroken here in Thailand so my phone's running life of 1.5 years is at an end. It's never been dropped so i am disappointed about this and i'm reading a lot of stuff on google regarding this grey line problem.

Horizontal Lines Scroll Down Screen during Video Playback

I just bought a brand new 20" iMac G5 iSight a week ago and there are horizontal lines scrolling down my screen at random when I play any movie trailers or DVD movies. Anything related to video it seems!
Also, today I bought a VGA-VGA adapter to connect my iMac to my DELL 2005fpw in my first MIRROR TEST and am playing TOP GUN right now on both monitors. It's pretty awesome! HOWEVER.......
Lines scroll down the screen on my iMac display but there are NO LINES that appear or scroll down on my DELL while watching movies/trailers!! I searched the threads but don't see anything closely related to this. Just other threads about white, yellow, and green lines. There is the topic just below this one but I thought I better add another to be sure.
I love this iMac! ANY SUGGESTIONS? Or fixes?
I guess I better take it back Monday and get it replaced! Hopefully, my Apple Store will replace it and NOT try to repair it..

Well sooo far.....
It appears the VGA to VGA video adapter is the culprit! I was about ready to reinstall the original 10.4.2 disk to get my old video driver back.
Instead, all I had to do was turn off my Dell Monitor and the "scrolling horizontal line" on my iMac when playing DVD's/movie trailers ~~ seems to have gone away. I turned my Dell back on and played both DVD's and trailers and the line reappeared on my iMac with none showing up at all on my Dell.
I'm a little confused as to why this is happening! Not sure if the adapter might be bad or if the iMac is just having issues "sharing" the signal?????
However, my new iMac seems to be flawless except when trying to use "monitor mirroring.
STILL.......ANY IDEAS OR SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE WELCOME JUST IN CASE!!!
Thanks

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.

Horizontal lines on my screen

I have these horizontal lines that run through my screen. They seem to happen mostly when I am online. Sometimes it's just one, sometimes it's more than that. They appear to be mostly black with some color and somewhat broken. What is causing this and can it be fixed?

Greetings for the day jp8220, As there is an horizontal line on the display, please check in BIOS if it is the same if it is same then try updating graphics driver or check on a external monitor, after updating drivers if the issue persist and if the external monitor works fine then there is an issue with the monitor and you need to contact HP support to arrange for display replacement if the unit is still under warranty, Please help me with the product number and serial number so that i can provide you the display or graphic drivers.

Horizontal lines on the screen.

I just purchased a MacBook within the last 3 weeks. Every time l switch on my Mac l get coloured horizontal lines on the right hand side of the screen. When l switch if off and on again the lines disappear. Anyone else experiencing this problem. Do you think it’s a fault with the laptop? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

I would get it looked at. You may have a graphics circuit issue.
