Iphone 5s Screen: what's wrong with my screen?

Got my 5s about 3 weeks ago and have been happy with it but it started acting up tonight.
Anyone have any idea what might be wrong?
It started out of nowhere, and was not dropped or wet... it starts with a line on the bottom of the screen at start up and turns to faded red vertical lines (on the bottom quarter of the screen only):
Video of it occurring:

I am in the US at the moment but upon return should I take it back to a Bell store (my carrier that I got it from) or to an Apple store?
Any help would be appreciated.

If you bought it about 3 weeks ago, take it to an Apple Store.  It should be under warranty first.  Ask a "Genius".  Good luck!

    My Mac is stuck on grey screen what's wrong with it and am I going to lose everything

    Hopefully you have a backup, but...
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • My iPad has a blue screen  What's wrong with it

    My iPad has a blues screen what's wrong ?

    Hold the home and power button down until it restarts. If it continues, restore it. If it continues and only happens in one app, contact the developer or update the app if it has any updates. If it happens with not just one app, reserve an appointment at your local Apple Store and have it replaced. http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/

  • What is Wrong With the Screen on My New X1CT?

    Guys, what the hell is wrong with the screen on my new (an hour ago) X1CT?  Its like there is a matte cover over the screen.  I read about the screendoor and I don't think this is that.  Its like the colors are all off, white is grey and grey is white.  There are weird lines and shimmering on the screen.  
    It seems to be okay on the W8 start page but there is no white there, just the metro tiles.  I have checked all settings and there is nothing I can do with any settings.
    In the pic below see how the whites and greys are even reversed on the same webpage?  
    I just took it out of the box and started to set it up.  I'm not sure what is going on but it certainly is not right.  I doubgt i can use it like this.
    Thanks in advanced for any ideas.

    They are sending out a tech with a new screen and cable on Monday am.  If that doesn't fix it then its going back.  I've decided that its somthing physical as the screen just cannot make white.  The google homepage is grey not white.  There is banding and artifacts all over and even screen memory when I close windows and such.  There is no way its supposed to be like this.

  • What is wrong with the screen stays black

    what is wrong with the iPod if the screen stays black and won't turn on, but is fully charged.

    Could be one of the two:
    1. Device sleep - Press and hold power button for six seconds and see if that wakes up the unit
    2. Device freeze - press and hold the power and home button for few seconds till Apple logo is seen.
    Hope this helps!

  • What's wrong with my screen?

    I have a late 2010 Macbook Pro 15" and lately when my battery gets really hot, or i'm in some heavy programs (Adobe After Effects and ProPresenter), my screen with start to get static lines all over it, until the screen turns off. What's wrong? Graphics card frying?

    I agree this is a real problem. I have four different Ipods, and I have recently purchased the Nano to relieve crowding in my Cargo Pants (smaller pocket than will fit a Mini comfortably). None of the previous Ipods, which have dwelt in the same pockets, have shown any scratching, but my Nano is terribly scratched after being in a shirt pocket! Please let me know if the problem is being addressed by Apple. I would have put a screen protector on (by cutting one designed for a PDA if I had known that this screen was so fragile, but who knew!?! I also would have used one of the cases that Apple sells if there had not been a 4 week delay in getting them.
    Apple, are you monitoring??

  • My iPhone 4 has been dead for 24 hours and it has been charging for 12 hours. I have tried holding the home and lock button down but it still has the black screen, what is wrong with it? It just randomly died on means won't turn back on

    My iPhone 4 has been dead for 24 hours and I've been charging it for 12 hours and it still won't turn on. I have tried holding the lock button and home button down, even connected it to computer but nothing's happening, it randomly died on me.

    Hi Lauren,
    When troubleshooting power issues, we want to make sure we have followed all steps outlined in the following article:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    - Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    - Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
    Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    - Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    - After at least 15 minutes, if:
                   - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
                   - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
                   - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    - If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
                   - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
                   - If the display remains black, go to next step.
    - Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
    restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    - If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • What's wrong with my screen and how do I fix it? My iphone 4 froze so I reset it. After it turned back on I found that the screen ( the backlight, i assume) was flickering a lot at the edges.

    I went to settings and turned down all the brightness and the flickering disappeared but as soon as I turned it back up it started flickering again so I decided to reset  my iphone again. After the iPhone (4) turned back on I tried pulling the brightness up again, now I can see faint vertical lines up and down the screen ( like a grid) and turning up the brightness still results in more flickering. Also, as I type this, the keyboard on my iphone is slow to recognize touch. Before it froze I had been watching a 2 hr documentary on YouTube. Did it freeze because I used the phone too much? And my iphone was on the settings app when it froze. How do I fix the flickering (and is it going to cause more damage?) and how can I make the iPhone more responsive (faster) to touch? Your help is appreciated. (Everybody hates a slow keyboard)

    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.

  • My iPhone 4 won't work with my car adapter but all other iPhones do. What's wrong with mine?

    I have an iPhone 4 ad I have a car adapter that says it is compatible with my phone. Every thing else works fine with the adapter. All different kinds of iPods and anyone's iPhone that I try on the adapter works except mine.
    Could there e something in my setting that isn't letting my music play? What could it be?? I honestly dot know what it could be.

    Could be a problem with the contacts on your iPhone's connector.  Try cleaning the contacts using compressed dry compressed air, blowing on the contacts using your mouth being carefully not to spit, or using a very soft dry brush.

  • What is wrong with my screen? It looks like it has a crack underneath the surface.

    So, my Macbook Pro has had this "crack" in if for a little while. It started off really small but over the past year, has sort of spread. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what it is? It's over towards the righthand corner of the screen.

    I suspect it will keep spreading.  If cannot live with it, you should have it replaced.
    Ciao.

  • Recently my ipod touch (old version ) was not working correctly, so i deleted everything from it---expecting to start fresh, however when i start  it up it continues to stay on the apple screen, what is wrong with my ipod and how can i fix it ?

    my  ipod doesn't allow me to do the thiings it used to. It would change the time and date and everytime i'd turn it to the correct date it would go back when i clicked a new app. it wouldn't load apps corectly because of this date and time problem. So i decided to erase everything and start fresh. But now it won't even load properly it just stays on the apple screen with the loading spin thing stuck. someone please guide me into fixing this problem

    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.

  • What is wrong with my screen? It is blue with bubbles.

    Can anyone help me?  I turned in the iPad and it had a blue screen  and watermarks/bubbles on it.

    Has the unit EVER been jailbroke?  Has it EVER been dropped?  Did it EVER get excessively wet?  Did you EVER load a pirated developer's version of the IOS?
    If "No" to all the above, first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Why is it when using my iPhone 4s front camera, the screen sometimes turn black or have blue stripes on it? What's wrong with it and what should I do?

    When using my iPhone 4s front camera, the screen sometimes become black or have blue stripes on it! Is this a hardware or software problem? Can this issue be covered by my warranty? I bought it inmid-december last year, and this problem came at around Late January. It's a rare case, only came about 5 times, but this really concerns me. What's wrong with it? Thank you so much for your concern.

    thank you for your reply
    I brought it to the store and they agreed to give me an exchange. thank goodness!
    I have a new question: I've now transferred my back up datas to my new iphone. They wanted me to register, so I registered (as my old apple ID) and then they asked if I want to restore backup, I did that too. after the restore back up process, the only things that aren't there were my music and apps! what should I do to get them into my new iPhone?

  • My iPhone 5 screen is black and will not come back on. The phone still works when paired with my vehicles Bluetooth what's wrong with it, and can I fix it?

    My iPhone 5 screen is black and will not come back on. The phone still works when paired with my vehicles Bluetooth what's wrong with it, and can I fix it?

    I have a similar problem.  I restored my iPhone 5 to the latest available OS.  After completing the process the phone never restarted.  The phone was fully charged when I restored it but now refuses to charge past the red battery icon.  I have been able to get the phone in UFD mode several times and have been able to load the new OS on the phone.  The Apple logo does come on and the software fully loads.  iTunes tells me the phone will restart but never does.  I left it to charge all night but it never appeared to load the battery.  This morning I went to the Grand Central Terminal apple store for help.  A woman at the store plugged the phone in but it never charged.  She absolutely refused to believe that I got my phone in UFD mode and loaded any software on.  I don't think it is a battery issue.  The only solution I was given was to buy a new phone.  Repairing it was out of the question.  At this point the phone is completely useless.  Thanks in advance for the help.
