Line in screen. Anyone else?

I have not dropped my phone, banged my phone, left my phone in extreme temperatures. Nothing. Yet a line has appeared from the bottom of my phone up about halfway through my screen. The screen itself is functional, nothing is physically cracked - just a line has magically appeared. Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, has Apple given any type of reasoning as to why this could happen?

If it is defective, you can bring it back to the store and exchange it.

  • K8N Neo2 + 6800 GT = blue screens, anyone else?

    I need to know if anyone else is having this problem - please reply if you do!
    Please note that the following problems do NOT occur with my geforce 5900, nor do they occur in my previous machine WITH the 6800.
    In general, when games switch graphics modes from full screen whatever back to desktop, I crash BSOD - only info is either 0x00000008E , or ...0A.  Also, depending which crash it is, it also says IRQL_DRIVER_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, other times that is missing.
    When I reboot, windows error reporting says the crash was in the nvidia display drivers (only when the IRQL_blah blah line is present in the crash).
    Specifically, here are times I always crash (all blue screens of death):
    1) Run 1/2 life full screen at 1600x1200, then just simply quit the game, blue screen.  Or, just change to windowed mode 1600x1200 in game, apply it, and crash.  Only occurs with 1600x1200 mode.
    2) Got the new postal 2 game (with expansion).  No matter what res I play in, when I quit back to desktop, I crash.  Rebooting tells me it was the graphics driver at fault.
    3) Painkiller expansion, alt-tab to windows... switch back to game, crash.
    4) Not a game, but network associates free (1 year) virus and firewall package - after you reboot after installing - when windows is done loading, blue screen with 0x0000000A and no other info.  Only non-game that causes a blue screen.  Uninstall - no more crashes.
    NO idea why this particular app is crashing.
    Other games do it for me too.
    I've tried everything known to man to solve this problem, but nothing works.  I've tried 2 power supplies, mem settings/timings, latest nvidia drivers, beta nvidia drivers, a zillion other bios setting, and hidden settings - nvidia speedup off, fast writes off, upped the voltage to the graphics card, and a slew of other things.  Oh yeah, reinstalled windows about 5 different times.  Flashed the bios 2-3 times with diffferent versions as well.
    The system is very stable except for these times.  BFG tech support swears the card and motherboard have no incompatiblilities, but *something* has to be wrong here.  I'd blame the vid card drivers, but that doesn't explain why the card works in my other machine.  MSI tech support just gives me new bios's to try.  All cause the same problem.
    Could I have a bad mobo?
    My current powersupply is a True Blue 480W Antec, in case my sig doesn't list it.
    Please reply if you have this problem.

    Disabling DEP made no difference.
    Unplugging all my case fans, 2 hard drives, and dvd writer made no difference.
    But installing a beta nvidia driver, v67.66, got rid of ONE crash, the half-life resolution change crash. - EDIT - I just tried this driver again, and it STILL crashes when I change res.  going to try driver cleaner again.
    Postal 2 still blue screens on exit.  I believe Painkiller still blue screens when alt-tab'ing.
    I'm ready to exchange the motherboard for a new one.  Hoping this will make a difference.  If zipzoomfly will still honor my exchange, I'll order a new one from there on Monday.  I guess they do crossshipping too.
    There an many other people out there with the same setup as me.. motherboard, cpu, video card, and either a decent or no-name power supply who AREN'T having these crashes.  So what else could be causing them?
    I'm also tempted to get rid of the 6800 GT and exchange it for a x800 pro or XT.  Since my 5900 had 0 problems with this motherboard, maybe the x800's won't either.

  • Version 10.1.3 misses printing some lines. Is anyone else having this problem?

    Using Adobe Reader X version 10.1.3 it misses printing some lines but prints perfectly with version 8.1.2.  Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

    I always match the entire project to the footage so this problem doesn't happen.
    I have an after effects project dynamically linked to the project.  I think that may be causing the problem somehow, although that is also a 1440 project.
    Again, I had no problems before.  I've done 10+ projects for this client with the same settings and am only now having problems.
    I never recommend shooting in 1440, but that is what they wanted for whatever reason.  Always 1920x1080p or 1280x720p.

  • New Retina MacBook Pro has crushed pixels (faint white splotches/patches on screen), anyone else?

    Does anybody else have these ugly white splotches on their screens? I was so dissapointed to see this on my new retina display.  They're usually hard to see, but easy to see on a white/gray background.  I will most likely have to get a complete replacement, and this could take weeks. Does anyone else who ordered a new MacBook Pro have this issue?

    Return it.
    Any display with ANY dead pixels is hard to sell.
    Have a look on ebay, you will find many ads for used computers and displays that say "No Dead Pixels".
    So you ever think that you will sell this computer in the future you don't want dead pixels.

  • My iPad 2 doesn't work right since I down loaded ios8. It's slow and falls off line. Has anyone else had these problems?

    MY iPad 2 is slow and falls off line since I down loaded ios8. Has anyone else had these problem? Is Apple going to do any thing about it? I feel like I need to buy a new iPad.

    Hi ..
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You may have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    If nothing above has helped, try here >  iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

  • IPhone - Dust under the screen; Anyone else?

    After just a few hours in my pocket, I have my first speck of dust under the screen. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?
    After some inspection, I noticed there is a very small gap between the metal case and the headphone jack which is especially visible when the backlight is on (I can see light from the backlight).

    Hey Luc Lux,
    Do you have a screen protector on the iPhone? If you do try removing it and cleaning the screen.
    If there isn't anything covering the screen, make a reservation to have a Genius at a local Apple retail store take a look at it or call AppleCare.

  • Vertical blue line won't go away ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS ?

    I have a vertical blue line on my MBP display, only one pixel thick but all the way top to bottom. Location-wise, in the finder menu the line runs between the 'e' and 'l' of the 'help' option - about 4" from the left of the screen.
    The problem persists after a restart and stays there no matter which app I'm using. It's most noticable when the screen is displaying a darker image but when displaying a white/light/bright background (like the apple discussions) it's hardly noticable.
    Seems to me like I have a vertical line of dead pixels and it needs to go back to apple for a replacement. HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM? and can anyone confirm that this means dead pixels, I've never experienced it before.
    Thanks in advance for any replies.

    Hello there. This problem is definitely a defect in the LCD display. Take it back to Apple for repair. I have had this happen with an old iBook.

  • Well, in two weeks I have gone through 2 mini's.   The first had a 1 inch wide shaded zone top to bottom.  Apple replaced it .  Now, the replacement has started with white flickering lines at the bottom. anyone else exper. probs?

    The Ipad mini replacement (the first had a 1 inch shaded band running down it - and Apple replaced it.  Now my new one has a flickering set of lines at the bottom of the screen.  I reset adn reloaded, powered it down and up and still there.  Seems likely to be a hardware issue - just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.   Nothing unusual - havre Mac Airbook, two other older ipads and iphone and all are fine - no issues charging or such.

    You must be at the end of the bell shaped curve for device problems.  There's always someone who experiences this, and unfortuantely you are the rare user to be annointed by the gods of bad luck.
    I read many Apple forums, and your story is indeed rare.  Just like the person who wins the lotto, there are those who play all their lives and never win anything, not even $1.00.  I'm sure you get the picture.  I had a similar experience many decades ago, only with a car (or cars).  Not fun and not funny.

  • IPad 2 smart cover, mine is falling to bits and has stained my screen protector. Anyone else had the same problem?

    iPad 2 smart cover. Mine is falling apart and has marked my screen protector with black lines. Anyone else experienced this?

    Mine has worked fine.  What model do you have, the leather or the other?  I've read of others using screen protectors like Zagg absorbing some of the dye.  Of course considering the cost they are to produce ($12 is what I read for the leather) it doesn't surprise me some of the dye is coming out.  I have wiped my black leather down with high grade leather cleaner / oil and you can clearly see it on the rag. 

  • Full screen playback in PE9 garbled - anyone else see this?

    I mentioned this in a general post but I'll make it a specific question now -
    When I click on the "full screen" button near the top right of the interface, full screen playback has a corrupted area which corresponds with where the timescale is on the normal interface.  Sometimes the playback cursor "breaks through" as a black vertical line too.
    Does anyone else see this?
    I have the latest Nvidia drivers installed.  Windows XP Pro SP3 Q9300 quad core PC 2GB memory.
    Thanks for any observations.

    It's very obvious if you do have the problem - a wide strip of the video (horizontal, matching the timescale hidden beneath the full screen display) gets shifted sideways somewhat (flickering on and off), so that any vertical object in the footage gets displaced sideways at that point in an obvious juddering fashion.  I tried to do a screen grab but simply doing that makes the problem change - it is more evident when the footage is running than when frozen.
    Anyway, adjusting the Windows Display Properties "hardware acceleration" slider, moving it to the left till it is set to the point where the message beneath reads "Disable all DirectDraw and Direct3D acceleraions.  Use this setting to correct severe problems with DirectX accelerated applications" seems to fix the problem.
    Graphics card is a GeForce 8600 GT, in case that's relevant.
    At least I know how to work around the problem.  Let's see if others come across the same problem in due course.  Maybe it's just a local issue.

  • Screen Burn-In - Shows When Hot (Anyone Else????)

    Hello All,
    Here is my situation:
    I have an iMac G5 17-inch (rev. A) 1.8 GHz. I have been using it to record my 8-Track tapes, records, cassette tapes, etc. onto my hard drive to be converted to Audio CD.
    I have been using both Audacity and Amadeus to record the audio into the computer. Both have been working great.
    I used Amadeus quite heavily for the first few days, and noticed that the window image of the Amadeus window would "burn-in" to the LCD screen of my iMac G5's monitor.
    This first occurred after only 4 or 5 hours of intensive recording and editing. All recording is being done through the iMac G5's audio input port.
    The image of the window from the Audacity program remains visible as a "ghost" image on my screen. It is extremely noticeable when the computer is hot. And, not visible at all after the computer has cooled-down.
    The image is noticeable even during a re-start (while the timing ring is displayed), and during start-up.
    I even booted from the original factory install DVD, and it is visible there.
    These are not just lines. You can actually see the buttons that are in the bar at the top of the finder window (the active screen in Amadeus), and even the defined outline of the other active windows.
    These are clearly "ghost" images of the screen that was visible while I was working.
    So, I have moved to using Audacity to see what would happen. And, I can see the same remnants from it being left behind.
    At this point, I have several ghost images (outlines of many previous sessions) visible on the screen.
    I have already had my local service provider look at the computer. He has ordered a replacement logic-board and video screen. He thinks that something is getting stuck in my video controller. While he was here, we hooked-up another video screen (as a mirrored image), and the defect does not appear on the external screen.
    So, it appears to me as though the problem is the screen itself.
    I have tried turning the machine off, resetting the PRAM, pressing the SMU reset button, etc. And, no change.
    The lines do go away after the machine has been off, in sleep mode, or with the screen in sleep mode for a while. But, they return as soon as I have used the computer for a long time. And, new ones show up every time I record and edit additional music albums for a couple hours.
    At this point, I am wondering if anyone else has recorded this much audio into their computer using Amadeus. And, if so, do you have these problems.
    So far, I have recorded in about 20 albums (nearly 20 hours of music) in this fashion. This has been done in 4 to 5 hour sessions.
    My thought, is that perhaps the iMac G5 cannot handle 5 hours of solid audio recording and editing at one time. And, perhaps this has caused damage to the screen. Anyone have any thoughts here?
    My main concern is that I don't want this to be an on-going problem that happens every time I record and edit new music into the computer. Especially after I have the new screen installed.
    I am hopeful that this is a one-time defect. And, that I won't experience this problem after the new parts are installed. But, if this is something that just happens every time the machine gets really, really, really, hot. Then, I may have to abandon the idea of recording all my music to CD.
    Let me know your thoughts and personal experience here.
    The computer tech from Apple insisted that screen-burn was impossible. But, he conceded that seeing is believing.
    I just don't want it to happen again with the new parts.
    Hopefully, someone here has put their iMac G5 through the exact same use (with the same programs), and can confirm that my experience is unique.
    So far, the Apple service tech has been great. No complaints there. I just don't want to replace my video display every time I record records and tapes into the computer.
    By the way, I did look, and there are no swollen capacitors.
    Thank you all

    The problem, is that in my case the image would burn-in permanently within an hour or two of using the system.
    So, the energy settings wouldn't really have helped my particular problem.
    It's hard to be productive when you are watching the screen-saver or have the screen off.
    I would find that in addition to the existing images that were burned-in, that new burn-ins would happen while I was actively using the computer.
    Any part of the screen that didn't change for a while would burn-in. So, the button bar, for example would become a permanent image.
    Yes, I could move things on the screen constantly. But, it would make being productive pretty hard if I spent all my time trying to prevent screen-burn.
    In the case that it was an inactive system with images being burned-in, then your suggestions would be very useful.
    Unfortunately, the problem I had was that the images would burn-in even while using the computer.
    I did get a new screen from Apple though. And the new one looks and works great.
    So, it must have just been a defect in my original screen that caused the problem.
    It's fine now
    If you have any problems with images getting stuck or burned-in, I would contact Apple and just have them replace it. I'd prefer to get it fixed during the warranty than to try to limp it by.
    In my situation, the replacement LCD even lowered my temperatures back down to normal. So, there were most likely a lot of problems with that LCD panel.
    Anyway, it's nice to have a clean and clear screen again. The old one was getting quite annoying.

  • Dark area on screen, looks like smudge, anyone else seen something similar?

    Hi,
    I got a new 16GB white 3G yesterday and love it!
    It's been a long wait for us here in Sweden, but now the iPhone is finally here.
    Just one problem: I have a small area of the screen that is visibly darker than the rest. It is situated about one inch from the top edge, and in the middle "horizontally". It is about 5 - 6 m.m. in diameter and resembles a smudge, but it is not possible to whipe it away, and it also looks a bit different from different angles.
    It does not look like totally dead pixels since they just seem to be slightly darker than the surrounding areas. Possibly a smudge on the inside of the glass perhaps?
    It is mostly visible on light gray backgrounds, and when scrolling lists (e.g. of text) since then it appears and disappears as the list is being scrolled (it is not clearly visible if there is text on it).
    I know I should go back to the store to have them check, but I just thought I'd ask here first if anyone else has seen something similar?
    I might also wait a while to see if it changes, right now it is a bit difficult to see sometimes and I don't want to go back to the store just to have them "send me away" because they didn't see it.

    I have a similar problem with my iPhone 3G. The only screen that looks sharp and free of any horizontal lines or "tracers" from text or images is the home screen. Safari, contacts, etc. look bad. I have an iPod Touch as well and none of these issues have ever been manifest on it. On the iPhone there will be horizontal lines across the screen of a lighter color than the background along the edges of images (like a photo for a contact in the address book) or a safari page when multiple pages are displayed. Also none of the text in Safari or even in the crossword puzzle game I purchased are as crisp as the text on the Touch.
    I've played around with the brightness, but this has not helped (it becomes more evident when the screen is brightened).
    I'm on hold with AppleCare and if I find out something I will report back.
    Jim

  • My iMac display occasionally flashes green and purple horizontal lines... is anyone else having this issue, or know of a fix?

    The screen occasionally flashes purple and green horizontal lines across it. Then the buttons on the left side of my menu bar turn fuzzy, and when I click on them they become black rectangles with green and purple lines running thru them. The dock also has a hint of green and purple in it. And some of the shadows around application windows are just black outlines, instead of gradiating shadows. Is this happening to anyone else? Does anyone have a fix? I read about the other supposed graphics issues, but I think they're unrelated, or at least left unfixed by the firmware update.

    All Macs come with a one year limited warranty.
