I have a thin horizontal line running across my screen about 1/4 of the way from the bottom of the monitor. Why is it there and how do I get rid of it?

There is a thin horizontal line running across the width of my screen about 1/4 of the way from the bottom. This line, along with an occasional vertical line about a 1/3 of the way from the right side of my monitor, started appearing about 7 days ago. Usually the line would disappear after a restart but now it seems intent on staying. Does anyone know what is going on and how can I resolve this?

Laptop suddenly had horizontal lines running across the screen

Suddeenly horizontal lines appreared across the screen .
I have shut down and started up the computer numerous times and it does not go away .
It also affects the graphics and text on the screen .
If I cannot fix should I have the computer cleaned and set back to factory standard and how do i do that /
Thanks

2 possibilities:
1. The video chip (motherboard) has gone bad; or,
2. Just the screen has gone bad.
Connect the computer to an external monitor and see if the lines appear on it. If so, it is #1.
It is doubtful that restoring the laptop to factory specs will have any effect on the isue either way but if you want to do that you can tap F11 as you power up to enter factory reset.

Have lines appearing on my screen and coloured barcodes running across top, what is the cause

Thin lines have appeared running down the length of my screen and colloured barcode type short lines running across the top of my screen. Has anyone suffered this before and knows what the cause is and maybe the remedy?

It could be a hardware problem - bad GPU. Best to take it into your local Apple Store and have them run diagnostics on it... what model MBP do you have (year & screen size)?

My iPad has a series of thin black lines running across the right side of the screen. They look like pages in a book.

How does one get rid of the thin black lines running across the right side of the screen? They look like the edges of pages..... This is an iPad3 and the lines have been there since I took the iPad out of the box.

Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is suggested...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

40 inch Samsung LCD White Horizontal lines running up the screen constantly

My brand new Samsung 40 inch tv (purchased in mid-December) has white horizontal lines running up the screen constantly. From what I heard, the electricity in my house my not be grounded, but no other tv in my house does this, so I doubt this is the case. Has anybody else had this issue and is it too late to return the tv? Thanks.

Does it do it on other sources like a DVD? If so you may have a TV problem. Have you tried to do a factory reset or restore? Have you tried plugging it into an outlet in a different part of the house? As a last resort have you tried taking it back to the store and see if it works there? Also have you tried a filter on the AC plud in? Just some suggestions to try and help you out.

Does this happen as Windows boots up or during the desktop??
It sounds like you graphics processor is defected to be honest I would only expect this problem to occur with LCD screens but as you said it happens using the external monitor.
Try changing your display modes to see if this has made any difference.

I have an imac, intel 2 duo. OS 10.6.8. Suddenly my desktop is showing two thin lines running from top to bottom, each about 2" from either side. How can I get rid of them?

That's strange...
Resetting PRAM might help: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
If that doesn't help, I'd recommend contacting AppleCare.
it seem to be lcd problem

2 vertical lines, running from top to bottom, have appeared on my screen

2 vertical lines, running from top to bottom, have suddenly appeared on my screen. On a white back ground they appear blue and green. they have a wide space between them. I switched off and on but they are still there. Whats happening?

You don't say what model Mac you have (iMac I assume) or OS version, but it's probably an LCD problem. Do you have access to another monitor? If it doesn't show up on the external monitor, it's your iMac monitor and not the video card. If it shows up on the external, it's the video card. Do you have AppleCare?

Photosmart 8250 4x6 Prints with horizontal lines running through them

I'm getting horizontal lines running through many of the 4x6 prints made with my Photosmart 8250. They're about 1/3" to 2/3" apart from one another. I've run the head cleaning process and alignment process. I've tried cleaning the rollers.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

it is possible that zoom maybe enabled i think double taping with three fingers should disable it.
or you can go into settings>general> assessability> zoom and turn it off.

I have colored lines running across my screen, does this mean my computer is going to crash?

I have colored lines running across my display, is there anything I can do?

Run the Hardware Test in Extended mode. Disconnect all periperhals first. If you're running 10.6.8, you have an Intel Mac not a PPC.

Suddenly experiencing lines running across and or down the screen

Starting a few days ago, I started to notice a line running across my screen, when I am on safari. Sometimes the line runs down the screen. It kind of flashes really quickly and then disappear. I have never noticed it before until a few days ago. It usually happens when I am reading an article or looking through blogs.
The line appears to be a thin gray line and it run across the entire screen.
Anyone know what it is and why might it be doing this? Is this normal?

No, the problem does not happen often enough that I can depend on it showinhpg up. It randomly happens. I have noticed it usually happens when a page is loading...
The page will load and about half way through, a gray line will quickly flash across or down the screen. Sometimes it also happens when I am pinching to zoom in, zoom out on the screen.
Is this normal? if I can not show the apple store genus, do you think they still can try to troubleshoot the problem?

My iphone has lines running across the face of constantly

My iPhone has quiverring lines running across the face and I find it hard to read stuff on it.
What is causing this and how do I sort it out? I have tried the turn off, turn back on trick but
it didn't solve the problem.

this is called "artifacting" it usually results from a defective VGA (graphics card) or a defective screen.
You could attempt to restore you phone in itunes but most likely it will need to be replaced by going to an apple store or calling applecare
-Thanks
