Problem of 5800 screen comes in horizontal lines

Dear nokia team,
i have a wide spreading problem in my & similar phones nokia 5800
after i updated the firmware the screen come into horizontal lines doesn't show anything once i lock the screen and reopen the it again , the problem began when the mobile is in a room with cold temprature, when i warm it it works again,
but now the problem became more diffficult, not only in air conditioned rooms, but all the time ,
Please help me with the final solution ,
beware that my firmware version begin with 60.0... the latest one

Perhaps a reset of SMC may help it, the system management controller is a power manager of a sort and maybe if something is not seriously wrong, that could do. Yet screen resolution and other issues can be addressed by a reset of the NVRAM in a different procedure, formerly known as a PRAM reset.
However there are hardware circuits that also may be the cause of such symptom, and I'm not sure how you'd test for that. The computer shipped with a test of some sort on the original boot install disc, that could check some hardware items and try to repair the hard drive, etc. There may be display hardware troubles behind the symptoms you'd noted and if you can eliminate the software probability, then the possibility of a hardware issue may be the answer. A few parts could be user-replaced given experience and skill in doing these kinds of things, and there are guides to look into at http://www.ifixit.com/Device/Mac_Laptop
Read though and see if there is an indication a reset may help.
• Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays:

• Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
• About NVRAM and PRAM:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
Hopefully the a reset will help, as a troubleshooting measure or to eliminate ailments. A reset of SMC has been said to help in some cases because it also resets the power to the graphic card, so that is a possibility. And NVRAM may be another thing to try after SMC.
Good luck & happy computing!

HT201263 iphone only shows logo for 13 seconds when connected to pc thats all it does however i connected to wall socket it goes up to connect to itunes but when i unplug it then it switches off

iphone only shows logo for 13 seconds when connected to pc thats all it does however i connected to wall socket, it goes up to connect to itunes but when i unplug it then it switches off.
this is coincidently after an ios update for iphone which i did just approx two days earlier which was suppused to fix battery issues?
also battery shows 100 percent full but as i explained if disconected from socket it switches off altogether.

Hopefully and most likely faulty battery. If you have Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

Power Mac G5 on start up it repetedly has white screen with circling icon then just switches off

Power Mac G5... Pleas Help!!! i'm not sure if my hard drive is broken but on start up it repetedly has white screen with the circling (doing somthing) icon then just switches off. If i press alt when switching on i get a grey screen with 3 icons, 1st is like a refresh arrow button & last is a straight arrow button on pressing either of these mac just starts the white screen thing again, the middle icon is a picture of a hard drive with a blue cross in the corner & written under neath it says macintosh HD. Does this mean my hard drive has gone?

Been there, done that. Try a Safe Boot (holding down the shift key at boot) and see if it boots. If it boots, then you may be having problems with either the power supply or the video card. What video card is in the machine?
If it does a safe boot OK, then we can troubleshoot using a verbose boot. Verbose boot puts up a Unix Console screen and displays text output during the boot process. When I had these symptoms, verbose boot showed me that the power supply was clicking off right after the kext to drive the GeForce 6800 card loaded. I replaced the power supply and the problem went away.
To initiate a verbose boot, hold down the cmd-V combination until you see the console screen come up. Watch the output and pay attention, because you need to remember what is being said when the machine shuts down. You may need to repeat this two or three times.
As an aside, often times power supplies exhibit this behavior when they have become choked with dust. This is pretty universal after five or six years, requiring that the power supply be removed and the dust blown out with clean shop air.

My iphone is switched off suddenly n then it wont b started it continously shows the apple logo then again switched off automatically and when i charge it so it was switched on and after a long time then it shows battery low and then its also show 4% batt

Hello s0ha1b
If all you get is the Apple logo and it powering off, then the next step is to put your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. If you have a back up, then you can put that on there to once the restore is complete.
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

G5 tower chimes after switch on, fans start and then it switches off, all in about 5 seconds

G5 tower chimes after switch on, fans start and then it switches off, all in about 5 seconds. Does anyone know how to get this mac started?

Use Compressed Air to blow it out good, LCS was the Liquid Cooling System on the last/fastest G5s.
If you don't know the model, find the Serial# & use it on one of these sites, but don't post the Serial# here...
Using this serial number locator is way better than Chipmunk, and more secure:

HT201263 does the smart cover magnet strip affect the ipad screen by making colour lines appear on the screen when opened or unlocked by the cover

Does using the magnetic smart cover affect the ipad by causing stripes of interference lines over the screen, then when opening and shutting would revert to a normal home screen, But repeatedly does this lines on screen effect and then eventually the whole screen goes white!

No. It should not do that.

IPad camera (user-facing) horizontal lines...

Hi
I've had iPad 2 for a few months. All fine...
I just went to use the camera that faces the user (not something I use often but has always worked thus far) but is corrupt with horizontal lines. Forward camera is fine but user-facing one is unusable. Screen fine in all other instances.
I've protected this with my life so very unlikely it is damaged (does direct sun affect the camera?) so a bit unsure what this is
Any help?
Thanks
Matt

Hi emancabanlit,
For nay issues with the camera on your iPad, refer to the article below to sort it out. Start with force closing the app as well as restarting your device. If it is still having issues then you may want to take your iPad to an Apple Retail Store or and Authorized Service Provider.

Display freezes with horizontal lines, then turns dark

I've recorded a little video to explain my problem better :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23Fs2T7Cjb8
Please don't mind my brother talking in the background and commenting in French about MotoGP umbrella girls
It all started like 6 months ago, from time to time there were horizontal lines visible in the lower-right corner of the display, that disappeared immediately after that I pushed the screen, then 3 weeks ago it started doing that...
My Macbook never fell down, I always transported it in a Be.ez LArobe bag which I believe is rather resistant.
The horizontal lines on the lower right are now permanent, and the freezes are more and more often.
I think there might be a contact problem, since the display gets back to normal when I push it.
Since it's been nearly 2 years that I own my MB and don't have AppleCare, I'd like to know if I can solve this problem without emptying my wallet by having to pay for a new display...
Thank you for your answers and sorry for my approximate English

Thank you for your answer, but actually I forgot to mention that I own a Nov. 2008 13" MacBook Unibody in aluminium (which is now called MacBook Pro, that's why I posted here rather than on the MacBook forum), and it only has one graphic card, thus I can't solve my problem this way.
Also I'd like to add that in my opinion, for what it's worth, this is not a software issue, since when I push on the screen as shown in the video, the artefacts disappear, and when I release the screen it starts again, so I believe it could just be a false contact.
I know that if it is a hardware problem I should go to an Apple Store or a Premium reseller but it would mean a 200km trip at least, and I don't have any backup computer, and I need it for my exams at the moment, so I can't really leave it for 2 weeks to be sent to Apple right now, nor can I afford for a new display if the problem is more important than I thought. I'd just like to know if this can be fixed quickly and without emptying my wallet, if that's not the case well I'll just wait and pray my MB survives through my exams
Thanks for your help

Since upgrade, my ipad screen goes black

Since upgrading my ipad2 to version 7.1 my screen goes screen goes black very often and I have to return to whatever I was doing and start over. Saw various online discussions and they advise restart or change settings and that doesn't help. PLEASE anyone.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Mp4 on ipad - screen goes black

Hi all,
I have some 'home movies' that i'd like on my ipad (wedding video - nothing sinister). It works in itunes, it works on my iphone but when i transfer it to the iPad and press play, the screen goes black and i can hear the sound, just not see the video. It also doesn't let me pause or show any of the usual icons that show when you touch the screen.
Do you think i need to do something difeent for the iPad than the iPhone?
The videos are .MP4
Video Codec - H.264
Thanks for any help!

What program did you use too get to the format you loaded in iTunes and what output did you specify? Also, what are some other specifics such as framerate and audio format. They have to meet:
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
