Iphone 4 screen/display - 1 pixel line problem

Hi,
I have a cca. 1 month old iPhone 4 from New Zealand Apple Store.
There is a cca 1 pixel bright line across the screen/display and a smaller one next to it. These seem like dead pixel lines.
Sometimes it is hard to see the lines, sometimes are very bright - I think it depends on the color of the background.
I realized that problem aproximately 4-5 days after I received the new iPhone. .
My problem is, that few days after I got my new iPhone I traveled to Europe. Now I am in Hungary and I will go back to NZ in October.
I could not find any on-line contact for NZ Apple... finally I went to Hungarian Apple Service to ask them about my problem, but they said they cannot help.
I have Apple Care Protection plan as well. Can I get a replacement, or ... ?
I do not know what to do, where to go, who can help me...
Can somebody tell me who do I need to contact?
Thanks
Monika

Hello, Harmeet Singh. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the best troubleshooting resources to reference when experiencing this issue.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
Display has no backlight or dark screen
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.

  • I have a macbook pro 10.6.8. The screen displays vertical grey lines how do i fix it?

    I have a macbook pro 10.6.8. The screen displays vertical grey lines. I tried Crtl.command.eject... Did not work. I tried Command.crtl.p.r. way; Didnt work. What is wrong with my mac and how can i fix it?

    NVRAM reset is command, option, P and R.
    Restart the computer and immediately hold the four keys down. Keep holding the keys down, and let the Mac chime three times, then release the keys. Be patient it could take some time.
    That being said what you describe may be a hardware issue, so the NVRAM reset probably won't work.

  • Iphone 4 display thin vertical line

    I got this thin vertical purple line suddenly appear on my screen today n its not going away even after i restore my phone to 'new phone' state...pls give me advice...TQVM!!!

    same here. a pixel wide green vertical line on my MBP mid-2010. It is in between the bluetooth and wireless (airport) display area. It's barely a year and just used on average, well taken cared and still this green lines? my lcd part no. is LP133WX3-TLA4 (LG) any of you guys know if APPLE got a recall on this? I've been madly googling and reading posts from other forums and it seems to be common. I hope APPLE reads their discussion forums and address this recurring problems. I mean I don't mind paying a meager sum if this was an older MBP...But for a Mid-2010 MBP that would be a a sort of rip-off. I hope they upped the ante for loyal APPLE users.

  • IPhone Screen Display Magnified

    I have a an IPHONE 3 G S 16 Gig. All of a sudden the screen has increased in size so that material at the edges is covered. This situation makes it difficult to tap such things as edit and write on messages or email if you know what I mean. I can find nothing in settings to restore the screen to its original size. Furthermore, I did a "restore" from ITUNES with no change in the display. Any ideas?

    The zoom feature is on.
    The manual will help:

    Hi @segoopa ,
    Thank you for your inquiry, I will do my best to assist you!
    I understand that after installing the Pes 2014 game you now see pixels and lines in your display.
    The game installation may have changed the resolution of the display for your game but did not revert it back when you closed it out.  Here is a link to Resolving Problems with Notebook Displays (Windows 7 and Windows 8) to assist you in overcoming this difficulty.
    Please let me know the outcome.

  • Iphone screens switches to Apple logo

    This initially began occuring about about 3 weeks ago but is happening more
    frequently now. When using Safari after about 15-20 minutes my iPhone screen
    displays the Apple logo as though I restarted unit. I usually have to restart but there
    are times when screen goes to main menu after awhile. Anyone have similar issues or
    familiar with problem? It seems I am more than likely going to have to take to Apple
    for repair which ***** since I will then either be without phone for awhile or have to
    pay for loner. Peace and thanks

    Am having the same problem. After updating to iOS 8.3, my Silver 128GB iPhone 6 Plus has been crashing to the Apple logo and the home screen resprings. Before iOS 8.3, I did not have this problem. Hopefully it's software related and Apple has a fix.

  • A536 corrupted screen display

    Hi,
    Good day!
    Anyone can help me with my A536 phone?
    It has corrupted screen display (with horizontal lines)
    Please see attached pictures for your reference.

    Factory restore would restore everything back to default, note that factory restore would delete all data and apps.
    This would narrow down if there are any apps which could be causing lines issue. Also I would suggest to do a System Update first. If that does not help then factory restore. If factory restore does not help then service center.

  • Why is there a solid white line on left "border" of iphone 4 display screen?

    A solid white line appeared on the left of the screen a few hours ago, from top to bottom of my iphone4 display.
    It is almost as if the whole screen is off center by 1 mm. I have tried to restart hard-power off, even restored it. Help!
    Thank you in advance.

    Hey Alliemac71639,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPhone 6 Plus display. The following resource outlines some great troubleshooting steps::
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Display image issues
    This can include bright or dark pixels, lines in video, or sections of video missing.
    1. Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    2. Verify the issue is not content related, by viewing different content.
    3. If the image is too dark, adjust the brightness. In General Settings choose Brightness and Wallpaper and slide the slider.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    Thanks,

    First, reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not work, and to make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the phone.
    If the phone works as expected, restore from the latest backup. If the problem comes back, the backup data contained corrupt data, causing your issues.
    If it still does not work, this could be a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

  • Brand New Iphone 5s Home Screen display defect

    Here goes my ordeal with my Iphone 5s upgrade
    After waiting in line for over an hour I purchased the Iphone 5s yesterday at Best Buy (Stonebriar, Frisco, TX). Later that evening, I noticed that when the time was 5:36, the home screen display was not showing the digit 6. Instead it showed a blur. I then changed the time manually to 6:36 and then to 6:43 and each time there was a digit 6 the display showed a blur instead. I must note that the phone was sitting in the grass which was a little moist (which I believe was the causing the issue). I immediately went back to the Best Buy location where I purchased the phone and requested a replacement after showing the defect. The store manager wanted me to wait in the line and I refused to do so (they sold me a defective phone so I did not see a reason why I had to go in that line all over again when it was just a replacement!). Anyways, after a tiff with the manager I left that store with my defective phone.
    Next day, I went to the Apple store (Willowbend mall, Plano). I was greeted by genteleman at the entrance of the store who nicely asked if he could help. The moment I told him I suspected my new Iphone 5s was defective he said 'What!!' and made an expression of disbilief. Funny! I was asked to go to another peson who was standing and waving his hand further inside the store. I go to him and explain to him the problem and when I try to demonstrate it does not happen! Oh dear! Luckily I had enough screenshots in store and I showed them all to the store clerk.  He then tells me that he can take the phone in for me and get it 'repaired'! In disbilief I ask him if he meant 'Replaced'? He says no, they will try to repair it first - he further speculates saying they will try a restore or maybe a front glass replacement and that if they still can't fix it, Apple will then replace the phone. In exasperation I tried to explain to him that the problem happened yesterday and then today it can't doesn't seem to happen, while adding that it is a brand NEW phone I purchased less than 24 hours ago and that I still am under the 14 day time-frame. I explain to him kindly that I would not be able to verify the fix (Apple does a restore or even changes the glass and returns me the phone and I must believe that the problem was fixed?? - Hel No!) and its not so nice to hear from Apple that they can't take responsibility for a defective product. He kindly says sorry and explains that it is policy and that they have to try to repair first. Oh how I wish I could've gotten Apple to sign my policy document for my money...sigh..don't work like that! So I left Apple and ran across to Best Buy mobile store asking for a replacement. The guy says Best Buy mother store and Best Buy Mobile store keep there own stock during holidays and he can't help. Sweet! I drive down 10 miles and go to a different Best Buy 'Mother' store and of course I'm asked to stand in the line. I swallow my pride and become a part of the line. My turn comes and again I explain the problem and of course the Best Buy clerk says 'Did you try a restore?' What!! Anyways, after a bit of reasoning (cribbing) with a couple of Best Buy agents, I was able to get them to replace my Iphone 5s (and of course they didn't have a gold color so I had to settle for the space gray..not a big deal though as long as this one is not defective also!)
    So anybody had this display issue? Issue with Apple customer service?
    Rs,
    GH

    Well they offered to do everything they could to work with you on the device....You are right in saying that the offered what they 'could'. Unfortunately what they could was tied by company policy.
    Just like being human there are times things just go wrong- 2 out 2 IPhones 5s in 2 days! I hope people are doing better :-p
    You fought against people at the store level who have /zero/ control over policy and had their hands tied by what theri bosses tell them to do. Agreed. I left instead of fighting. Unfortunately they are the first line of support and a manager maybe as far I'd get. Would love to chat with Steve Jobs but I guess now there is only one way for that :-p
    They not only rushed you to get service to repair the device but you didn't even do any troubleshooting of your own to try to repair it. Now what if a restore had fixed your issue, you would have kept your device, your color, and what you paid for... - I disagree. If you read my original post, the problem happened the same evening I bought the phone. When I went to Apple I was not able to reproduce the issue. So you tell me how do I verify that restore fixed it? Wait and watch? After 14 days I can't even return the phone. The other speculation made by the rep was changing the glass. I would not try that for obvious reasons.
    Why /wouldn't/ you try to repair something before spending your gas/time to replace it the moment something is amiss.
    hmmm..
    Now the 2nd new phone makes a rattling sound. Something is loose inside..I'd rather spend gas/time and return it than get them 'repair' it or give me a refurbished phone! Why? Because I can at this point and still get a new one with possibly no defects(fingers crossed) or I could find a company that makes better quality products :-p

  • What happen on my 4GS screen display.all the app are diappear and have the  background of the LED light inside the screen.can't see anything just only the line black and blue light

    I JUST HAD  A PROBLEM WITH MY IPHONE "4GS".THE SCREEN DISPLAY ARE BLANK.ALL THE APP ITS GONE.JUST HAVE ONLY "BLACK AND BLUE LINE"INSIDE THE SCREEN.ALL THE PHONE FUNCTION STILL ABLE TO RECIVED THE CALL BUT UNABLE TO MAKE PHONE CALL BECAUSE THE TAP ICON ARE GONE.

    Not sure what the origin of the problem is, but you should try deleting iDVD's preference files.
    First, close iDVD and go to your Home(YourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.idvd.plist
    Drag this plist file to the trash. iDVD will automatically create a new fresh one when you reopen it.
    Open iDVD.
    See if the main screen is now visible.
    Post back if that did not help.

  • Pixel line across screen

    My laptop sudden has a pixel line running fully across the screen from the left of the screen to the right. I have rebooted, updated drivers, used pixel repair software and tried to rub the pixels clear. which makes me believe its possibly a hardware issue. Has anyone else con across this problem or know what could be wrong?

    Contact HP in your region. It may be hardware display issue.

  • IMac stays on boot screen with thick vertical lines (formerly pixelated diagonal lines)

    I bought my refurbished imac in the summer of 2008.
    I've scoured the internet trying to find a definite answer to my issue.
    I was playing a game a couple of nights ago, when my computer screen flashed a couple of times, then froze.
    I restarted my computer only to have weird diagonal (pixelated) lines running across my boot screen... and it wouldn't display my desktop... although I think I could manipulate things on my desktop. It just stuck on the boot screen with the loading animation.
    I tried Safe mode, PRAM reset, inserting install disc, holding down D, holding down C... all to no avail. Except now, rather than diagonal lines, they are THICK multi-colored (black from a distance) vertical lines.
    Some sites say it could be the GPU... I have an nVidia GeForce 8800 GT (or GS?)
    Or it could be the BGA, Logic Board, a bad GPU connection (i don't see this as an issue because the computer has been stationary), or the screen.
    I'm about to open it up myself and find out because I don't live near an Apple store.
    This is the third apple product within 1 year that has died on me (1. iPod touch, 2. Airport extreme)... as much as I don't want to, I think I might return to using PCs because I've had my fully functional PC for more than a decade without problems. Am I just unlucky?
    Please HELP... I am a web designer/programmer and I am without my work computer.

    If you mean the CPU, not likely. You can try the Apple Hardware Test if you like, but it's usually a waste of time. A negative result means nothing. You'd need some combination of specialized software, test equipment, and non-public engineering data from Apple.

  • MBP screen keeps freezing and these pixelated lines appear...

    Hi,
    For the most part, I've been a happy MAC user but I have been experiencing some problems.  For example, if I moved the mouse to close a program or something similar, the screen would freeze and these pixelated lines of black and white would appear, sometimes flashing. These lines would either cover a third or all of the screen.  When I restarted, the lines would appear in blue right after the apple icon appears.  This has been happening infrequently for the past day or so. 
    From browsing the internet, I've come across the GeForce 8600M GT GPU issue.  I've checked and I do have this component.  From Apple's article, my problem is not so much with the video, although it is really slow and intermittent at best but with the display screen (I think that's the proper term). I ran a general hardware test and all seems to be okay.
    Would my problem(s) fall under this recall?  Would I be eligible to get a (free) replacement?  Further, is there a hardware test I could specifically run to test this?  This is driving me crazy!  What do you think?
    Many thanks!

    I reinstalled and everything seems to be working fine.

    We have had Verizon Wireless service since 2007. We have 6 lines on our account. Unfortunately in 2012 when I (903.647.0073) upgraded from the iPhone4s to the iPhone 5 I started having reception problems. I started having dropped calls in my home. I had to go outside to get reception without dropped calls. I was told that because of metal in my home I would have to purchase a Network Extender for $250. And we HAVE not metal in our home. AND our other lines all work fine. I felt this was ridiculous. We already pay $350+/month for service and I should NOT have to purchase additional equipment for a service that I already pay for. The manager of our local store at the time gave us at no cost a Samsung Network Extender. It worked beautifully until about a month ago. I went to our local Verizon store and was told that I would have to purchase an extender. THIS is RIDICULOUS. We have been loyal customers for over 7 years and have been very satisfied with our service. Unless this issue can be resolved without purchasing an extender we will be switching our service as our lines come up for renewal. I regret this as we have been very happy with our service. But we should NOT have to purchase anything extra for one line that will not get good reception. Again, we pay $350+/ month for a service that does not work properly, simply RIDICULOUS! Currently the "sys" light flashes red (slow) and the GPS light remains red. Please help this very frustrated customer.

    Regardless with what carrier your with you might have the same issue, My recommendation would be to get a router that will help you with viewing live traffic and keep a tally of your usage and any device connected to your internet connection.  You can go with the peplink balance 20 and be able to look at your traffic by the hour, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.  Look for trends, see what computers or devices are doing what I attached a screen shot so you can see an example of mine.  You can purchase the router at 3gstore
