IPhone 5c has line across screen

I purchased my iPhone 5c about a month ago and the last couple of days  I noticed a line across my screen. I have not dropped this phone. The line is there when I restart phone and the apple icon is only thing showing.  What can I do to fix this before it gets worse?

  • IPhone 3G has horizontal line across screen

    Today my iPhone developed a line across the screen where the colour is inverted all the time. A restart and a reset have not fixed it. Anyone else had this? Any cure or do I need to send it back (again)?

    You will need to send it back or visit a local genius bar. They will do a restore on your phone before replacing it, I had this issue once. Good luck

  • If my iPhone 5 has a cracked screen, can I still trade it in for the iPhone 6?

    If my iPhone 5 has a cracked screen, can I still trade it in for the iPhone 6?
    I know there is the promotion to trade in for a free iPhone 6, but will Verizon take a cracked phone?
    I would hope at the least to still get a discount if not a straight up trade.
    Appreciate any info if anyone knows.

    You can get an appraisal for your phone here https://www.trade-in.vzw.com/home.php5
    I think to get the best price towards an iPhone 6 you have to have the appraisal submitted and new phone ordered by tomorrow (9/30/14) You buy the new phone on contract price then they email you a Verizon gift card after they receive your phone and make the final decisions on how much to give you. (Suppose to take 2 weeks after mailing old phone in)

  • My iPhone 5c has a broken screen and won't let me swipe. I got a new iPhone 5c, but want my stuff to backup to it. I haven't backed my old one up in over a year because the storage is full. How would I back it up to iCloud on a Dell or Toshiba computer?

    Hi Linda Loo Loo,
    If you have backed up previously to iTunes on a specific computer, even if it has been a while, you may be able to still backup even if you are unable enter the passcode on your iPhone due to a damaged screen. You may find the following article helpful:
    If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
    If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
    When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
    When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup".
    Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your device.

  • My Iphone 4 has a cracked screen and has made it impossible for me to unlock my pin. I an giving the phone to a friend but want to know if there is a way I can ensure all my data is wiped off it before I do. Can anyone help?

    My Iphone 4 has a cracked screen and has made it impossible for me to unlock my pin. I an giving the phone to a friend but want to know if there is a way I can ensure all my data is wiped off it before I do. Can anyone help? I have upgraded to a iPhone 5 so Im not sure if the old one would have automatically wiped the old phone. I have lots of emails and messages I wouldnt want peo

    Have you synced this phone, with iTunes, while the passcode was enabled? If so, plug it in, iTunes running, & hit the Restore button on the Summary Pane. This will also erase the phone.
    However, if you have not synced, while the passcode was enabled, you will not be able to do this without first enereting the passcode. If that's the case, try recovery mode:

  • My iphone 4s has a black screen. If I hold down the on button, it will occasionally flicker and then go black. How do I get it to turn on?

    My Iphone 4s has a black screen. If I hold down the ON button, it will occasionally flicker and then go black again.
    Is it dead? Is there any way to fix it? It's sitting in a bag of rice right now, a desperate measure.

    Are you saying it got water damage?  If not what mende1 suggested, or the following

    is the way to proceed.  If it got wet all bets are off. 

  • Thin Horizontal Line Across Screen

    I've had them before and they disappeared spontaneosly. The latest one seems to want to hang around. Any idea how to get rid of it?

    This is a followup to my post earlier today. A web search on "Thin Horizontal Line Across Screen" turned up this article:
    http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/post24947-5.html
    Sure enough, my horizontal line came back. I decided to follow the advice in the linked article. I didn't even have to twist the monitor. I barely tapped the screen as I was reaching up to twist the panel, and the line disappeared. This suggests to me that the problem is a loose internal connection between the driver circuitry and the panel.

  • Iphone 5c has a black screen, beeps, and won't restore

    My iPhone 5c has a black screen. It is charging at the moment, but when it is charging it beeps....constantly... I have tried the home + lock button restoring thing and no apple logo shows up. I don't know what to do HELP!

    I said "may" because Apple may determine the fault was due to abuse such as a drop or water damage. I am in no position to say for certain there is warranty on any device except my own.

  • My iphone 4 has a blank screen i can still press the buttons just cant see anything? Restoring it doesn't work.

    My iphone 4 has a blank screen, it is on and i can press the buttons and hear the sounds but i cannot see anythign on the screen. The bettery is fine and I have tried restoring it a couple of times. 
    I upgraded my software yesterday but can't remember what to (what ever is the latest varsion).

    You may have a bad screen or a loose connection in your phone.  Make an appointment to have an Apple Retail Store Genius look at your phone. http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
    Or call U.S. iPhone technical support: 1-800-MY-IPHONE (1-800-694-7466) or the number for your country found here:  http://www.apple.com/support/contact/phone_contacts.html

  • My iphone 4 has a black screen I can recieve calls but cant see anything it wont turn off what can I do?

    My Iphone 4 has a black screen it still works I just cant see who Is calling or texting how can I fix this ?

    You can actually fix this by posting this in the iPhone forum and NOT an iWeb forum which is for building websites.
    Check which forum you are posting in before doing so.

  • My iPhone 4s has a smashed screen how much is an out of warranty replacement

    MY iPhone 4s has a cracked screen and is out of warranty how much would Apple charge to replace it

    Apple does not repair screens on the 4S. They do on the 5, 5C, 5S, 6 and 6 Plus. For the 4S they replace the phone; the cost is U$149 or equivalent in your currency.

  • My iphone 4 has a black screen and gets warm when charging.

    My iphone 4 has a black screen and gets warm when charging. also, the battery runs out unusually fast.  I can still receive calls etc and can see a 'backlight' come on behind the black screen when buttons are pressed, but I can not see anything on the screen. I have tried restoring the phone from recovery mode in iTunes but this does not fix the problem. If it were the screen that needs replacing then would the phone get warm?
    thanks for your help

    Look in the dock and see if you can see any scaly blue-ish stuff. Look in the headphone jack under bright light - can you see anything pink?
    Take it to an Apple store. They can help you with a repair. If you take it anywhere else, Apple will not repair your phone if anything goes wrong.

  • White line across screen.

    Here's a picture of the problem
    http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q319/Rob1302_album/ipodfk.jpg?t=1231786566
    You can see the line across the top which stays on every screen.
    I haven't used my ipod in about a week and this wasn't there before. I turned it on and now this line is there. I haven't dropped it or anything.
    Anyone know why it's there or how to get rid of it?

    I own an iphone and 3 Ipod Classics (120GB). One of them has this problem today. It happens to be one that I always keep in a dock on my home entertainment system. It never has left the house and only leaves the dock to sync new music.
    I called Apple and the girl said I should just "BUY A NEW ONE". I said "WHAT". Basically when it came down to it she said "STUFF HAPPENS". I made calls and was finally told I would have to pay to ship it in for repairs that may take up to 6 months and would have to pay for return shipping and there were NO promises that they could or would repair it.
    Nice racket you have going Apple.
    I have a technical blog with over 4,000 regular users...any guesses what my topic of conversation is going to be for some time to come?

  • After last upgrade, my iphone 3GS has a yellow screen and won't come on.

    Hi
    I really need help... I have recently upgraded my iPhone 3GS to 4.2.1 and there was a flash of white screen, followed by a yellow screen with lines across it. iTunes shows a error message and the phone is now dead. It won't go on. It does go into the DFU mode but thats all about it. Please help as I urgently and desperately need my phone on ....
    Thank you in advance.

    Thanks for the reply. I tried that and it didn't work because the screen was completely frozen. I broke down and took the thing to the Apple Store and they discovered there was a loose wire in it that had to be reconnected. This is the second phone which has failed because of "workmanship. "The microphone went bad on the first phone and now this issue. Both phones may have had 2 hours on them and as a new comer to the iphone, I am not impressed. I paid cash for the phone and no insurance. I assumed it would have lasted several years like my other phone of which brand name I won't mention. The phone was great when it worked but when it doesn't it is very frustrating when the touch pad is frozen.  
    I understand, you can mark this answer as "This solved my question" so that more people can see it if they have the same problem.
