Iphone start up screen black and white stripes

My iPhone 4S powers up with a black and white striped screen then goes black. If I do a reset, it will eventually come back, work properly, and then go black again. When plugged into power, with screen set never to sleep, it works.

That's a sign of a hardware fault.
make an appointment at the genius bar and have it looked at.

While using my Iphone 5, all of a sudden black and white stripes where on the screen. I have tryed to turn the phone off and on again, but there are only the stripes. I can't use it, and nothing happens when I push the buttons. Can someone help me?

Try resetting your phone, hold the home and sleep/wake button down until the apple symbol comes up, then release. If that doesnt work, you may have damaged your phone and need to take it to an apple genius bar.

Nope, not ever. Take it in for service.

[SOLVED] xfce+slim, suspend to RAM causes black and white strips

I recently installed a fresh copy of Arch. When I click the "suspend to RAM" xfce button the screen turns off as it should, but when I try to resume I see 5 columns of black and white stripes (like a flattened checkerboard ). Alternatively when I click the "suspend to disk" (hibernate) button the screen turns black but the backlight is still on, the only way to get out of this state is to do a force shutdown with the button.
I don't know if this is just an xfce problem, or if slim is also part of the problem, but it doesn't hurt to let you guys know about that as well.
Reading about this problem somewhere else as a probably graphics driver issue, here's my graphics card:
NVIDIA Corporation G72M [Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300] (rev a1)
and I installed the Nvidia nouveau driver from here. I didn't see anything on that page about this kind of issue.
I also tried to add "ck-launch-session dbus-launch" to my .xinitrc file, I knew it probably wasn't the solution but I wanted to try anyways. didn't work.
I also have 2 gigs of RAM and 3 gigs in swap partition.
What do you guys think?

I have a slight newbie question that's related to my problem: after installing pm-utils am I supposed to have a file /etc/pm/config.d/modules? I reread the docs on suspend and standby here and the instructions are implying I should already have such a file, (since they say to modify it rather than create it), but I've installed and reinstalled the pm-utils and don't have any file there.
It's kind of important too, since i'm thinking I should put my graphics driver as one of those suspended modules...
Edit: one more interesting tid bit, when I use "pm-suspend" in the tty command line (by disabling the slim service and never going to xfce) I suspend fine. I need to have root privileges but I can just use sudo. (this is another reason why it could be a graphics card issue or I guess a privileges issue, hmm)
Edit2: I just tried to login as root from slim and hitting the suspend button, but got the same issue. So it's likely not a privileges issue. Strange.

Why do ipods come in many awesome colors and iphones only come in black and white?

Why do ipods come in many awesome colors and iphones only come in black and white?

The only answer is because that's what Apple decided. No one here knows any more than that.
You should put a case on it anyway so buy one in the color you want.

Black and white stripes? Help!

Hello!
I confess I'm a PC user (with plans to get a Mac in the near future, if that redeems me). Therefore I'm not especially familiar with Mac and its operating system, and when a problem arises I'm pretty helpless. I work in a technology lab at my school, and one of our Macs is encountering a problem.
The computer is perpetually displaying black and white horizontal stripes, with a spattering of multicolored pixels all over. I've tried turning the computer off and back on again (because that's about the depth of my knowledge of fixing a problem on Macs), but the computer doesn't even seem to try to boot; almost immediately after pressing the power button, I'm greeted with these hostile little black and white stripes.
I've searched these forums trying to find a solution, but have been unable to find anything. Any help or suggestions would be sincerely appreciated!
Thanks! =)

PowerBook starts up in black and white

My PowerBook G4 is starting up in black and white instead of color. I'm running System 10.3.4. All the display settings are set for color. When I startup from the install disk the display is color. I've tried re-installing the system, but it still starts in black and white.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Try going to System Preferences/Universal access/Seeing - and switching the black on white settings.

Yeah it's dead. Take it to an Apple Genius Bar and have it checked out. Then buy a new one.

Playbook screen Black and white with no color or just black with faded white lines

My playbook has been acting up lately and need to know where to send it for repair. The issue is the screen goes blank or black and white (losing color) and after pushing the power button several times the color comes back. After fight that issue several times its gotten to the point the screen is black with very faded white lines on the screen and nothing is working to get it working again. I have tried several times to shut it off and start, but still the same issue.
Thanks,

Some how my Iphone 4 camera is black and white how do I get it back to color

My son was playing with my phone and now the camera is in black and white. Does anyone know how to get it back to color

The phone does not do that on its own. You actually need an app for that. Try resetting the phone: press and hold the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the slider if you see it. The phone will power down and up again.

Iphone 4 screen is black and white stripes-.

all the sudden the screen of my iphone 4 won't turn on any more. It plays music. When I plug it to my computer it looks fine, but the screen is only black with horizontal white stripes. Anything I could do to repair it ?

That's a hardware failure. make an appointment at the genius bar.

IPhone 4 screen black and white?

So, title might be a little misleading - I don't know, but my iPhone 4 has broken.
Basically, I can still hear it turn on etc, still hear when I get a message or a phone call and so on, and it vibrates when I put it on charge etc. What I'm trying to get across is the phone is 100% functional... except one thing.
The screen is black. That's right, black. It lights up a tad when you press the sleep button as you usually would to get into the phone, which makes me think the LED's are still working and connected.
Oh, also, this just happened when I picked up my phone one time. Just black out of nowhere.
What I've tried:
Recovering phone (Phone wont recover for unexpected error).
Holding down home and power button for 10 seconds (only worked once out of about 100 times, where the Apple logo showed up, then the screen faded to white then went from white to black and the phone was off again).
Opening the back of phone to see if a connector has come loose (It hasn't).
So, basically, if anyone could help I'd be extremely grateful.
Thank you.

Hi,
What do you mean?
I have no warranty as it ran out ages ago, so I can't send it in either.
Thank you.

My ipod's screen went all fuzzy! Then it came on with black and white stripes/lines (vertical). Now it won't come on! What's wrong with my ipod? PLEASE HELP!

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
