IPad 2 display has flickering vertical lines

My iPad 2 display is flickering and has verticle lines.  It is acting like it is having a graphics card issue.  You can barely make out what is on the screen.  Due to familiarity, I am able to navigate through the menus.  It was not dropped and I am pretty sure there is no water damage.
I took a screen shot of the display, when it downloaded to iPhoto it was perfect. 
Any suggestions?

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

  • My cursor has long vertical line at times

    My cursor has long vertical lines at times. When I hover over a link, the cursor doesnt' change to a hand

    I don't know if this applies to LCDs, but the iMac G3 and eMac had "geometry settings" in the display preferences. If you messed up the settings, things like lines on the bottom and skewed images could happen.
    I wonder if the factory geometry settings are off on your iMac? There is no way to set these with System Prefs.

  • HT201406 i have a frozen ipod touch the screen has multicolored vertical lines and is non responsive any ideas?

    i have an i pod touch which appears to be frozen it has multicoloured vertical lines on the screen and is non responsive has anyone had the same probs

    If that does not work:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • The screen on my G4 has a vertical line that doesn't go away

    My G4 Macbook has a Vertical Line on the lower screen that is about 3 inches high.  It doesn't go away.  What to do??

    There is no such thing as a G4 Macbook. Macbooks have only had Intel processors.
    However, wether you have a G4 notebook or an Intel notebook, I would want to run the Apple hardware test to check the video circuitry.  Find the original OS X disks that shipped with the system, and find the one that, in small print, says 'AHT Version x.x' on the label. Insert and reboot holding the alt/option key down. Choose the Apple hardware test, and when prompted choose the extended test. If you have either of the TechTool programs they can do similar testing. Does that point out any video issues?

  • HT3964 my imac 27 display has 5 blue lines and does not boot up what is the problem?

    My Imac 27 displays 5 blue vertical lines and does not boot up.  What could cause this?

    I already anticipated the video card causing this issue.  This was confirmed today by Apple issuing a campaign indicating the AMD Radeon 6970M video cards are defectivce and will be replaced free of charge three years from date of purchase.  I looked at the new iMacs and found repairing them to be a nightmare.  So, once this p.o.s. is repaired, I'm selling it and purchasing an ABA computer.

  • Flickering vertical lines on screen HP Spectre 13X2

    Hi all
    Just go my new HP Spectre 13X2 two days ago.
    Today when I turned It on after it was in sleep mode - 5 flickering vertical white lines appeared on screen.
    Sometimes they get weaker, sometimes stronger.
    From looking up in google saw it happened to other consumers - but couldn't find any help/explanation and so on.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

     Hi Mikale_Mik, welcome to the HP Forums. I understand you are getting flickering vertical lines.  What is the model or product number? What version of Windows is installed?

  • Screen has a vertical line that flickers sometimes... please help

    My screen suddenly had a vertical line that flickers (sometimes), it's green. I don't know how it got there and where did it come from. It just suddenly appear.

I've restarted my computer but it was still there. What could be the problem and how to fix it? Please help. Thanks.

  • My late 2007 Mac Book Pro has tiny vertical lines in the display intermittently.

    Intermittent, tiny vertical lines in display of my refurbished Mac Book Pro late 2007 , A1226 model.
    Have replaced the actual display screen.
    Apple Genius Bar tested hardware and all OK, although the display was working by the time I got there.
    It is fine right now, I am using it for this post, but is hard to read small letters and numbers when it acts up.
    Even when the lines appear the display shows bright and crisp on any external monitor.
    Does anyone have any insight to this problem?
    Thanks !

    It could be the inverter cable or board is beginning to get frayed.
    If attaching an external display shows the lines, you know the problem is direct to the videochip itself.
    Some games are videochip specific in their requirements and may trigger the issue anyway, if the videochip is not on their supported list.

  • TBD showing flickering vertical lines

    My TBD works well when first started up, but after a few moments begins to flicker with vertical lines. They seem to correspond to the color it is trying to display, but one solid color from top to bottom on the display.
    Occasionally it will get better, but only briefly. Eventually it becomes "stuck" on one set of lines and will remain that way until I unplug and replug.
    I can't find anything online - any thoughts?

    Hello trogas,
    It sounds like your Thunderbolt display will start to flicker after a few minutes of being connected.  I found an article with some steps you can take for issues with external displays.
    I recommend following the steps in the section titled "No video or no signal, image distortion, 'snow,' or flickering" in the article listed below and specifically the steps to reset your system:
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    You can find the full article here (this article also covers internal displays, so you can skip any of the steps applicable only to an internal display):

  • 13" Macbook Pro Retina Display showing coloured vertical lines

    Hi,
    I bought this laptop in Jan 2014 and within 4 months, the display has started showing vertical coloured lines.
    What can be done about it? is this covered in the one-year warranty given by Apple?

    Run the hardware test that came with it.   Boot with the 'D' key.  If unrevealing, you either have a graphics chip issue, or RAM issue, or your inverter cable or board are damaged.   Note: if the machine resists movement of the display back beyond a certain amount, you shouldn't force it back any further.  Among other things, the cable can get damaged if you force it back more than it should be forced.    If you had RAM or other things installed the people who did that installation, may have made the hinge too tight or not tight enough, leading to the cable being more at risk of getting damaged.  If you dropped the machine, or spilled anything on it, you are likely to get a stiff repair bill.   Good luck!

  • How can I fix my display that had vertical lines when I open/close the lid?

    Just a few minutes ago, as I was adjusting the Macbook's lid, I got a huge vertical line showing on my display. The line goes away after I fiddled with the lid a little. Now, every time I open/close the lid, the lines sometimes pop in and out, always in the same area.
    I'm scared the wires connecting to the Macbook's display is loose or something. What can I fix it?
    Here's a picture of how it looks like: http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/7683/picture4gj.png

    Sounds like the LVDS cable might have come loose somewhere or is faulty, would not say it's the LCD just yet. If it's under warranty just take it to any apple store or local service provider. If it's out of warranty I would not suggest taking to an Apple Store because they will just quote you the whole display, but an Apple Service Provider might be able or wiling to attempt to just repair the faulty part in the display(just know your model display does not come apart easily) http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434 , good luck
