My iPad2 screen has 3 blocks of lines across the screen

Hi,
Has anyone else encountered this? The blocks of lines appear to be aligned with the spaces between the smart cover and go vertically across my screen. I am using a ZAGG invisishield cover and have wiped it clean. It's most visible when the screen is white.

Simon-
My first thought is that the invisishield cover has reacted to the pressure of your smart cover.  In other words, the lines may not be in the iPad, but between the invisishield and the iPad.
I'm not familiar with the invisishield.  If it can be removed without ruining it, you might see if that makes the lines go away.
If the lines are actually in the iPad, it may be a defect.  If convenient, show it to an Apple Store Genius.  If not, look for an Apple Authorized Repair Center near you.

  • HELP! my ipod has a thin blue line across the screen whenever i play videos

    i got my ipod a day ago. i havent dropped it or anything and when i play a video there is a thin, blue, vertical line on my screen. is it broken or what!?

    It could be a problem with the way the videos were encoded. Where did you get them from or did you encode them yourself.
    If you encoded them yourself, what program did you use?

  • My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help.

    My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help. I can't find my answer on the Internet.

    By far the most common problem hardware-wise seems to be scuffs on the aluminium. Yours is the first report of a faulty screen I've seen.
    If you use the same Apple ID on both devices it'll sync whatever you want it to - music/apps/photos/messages/etc.
    I've just switched from a Galaxy S3 to iPhone 5 (having already owned an iPad for a while) so I'm in a similar position!

  • Has anyone else has seen this problem with their iPod touch 5th Generation with iOS 7.0.4. My screen started making flashing white lines across the screen, then went dim, then pixeled with purples

    The ipod will show flashing white lines across the screen, going down, it then does somthing where the screen will dim down but its not like when the backlight goes on and its about to lock. It dims the background of your ipod and the icons and letters kind of all look defined. Then the ipod gets all pixelized and it has big boxes on pixels and its all differnt colors like purples and greens, red, etc. then it turns right off and restarts itself less than 5 seconds later. These things happen really fast but when it does it's really weird. It first happened 3 times in a row, Its still continuing to happen but i can manually turn off my ipod by holding the lock button down and not even 30 seconds later it's like its possessed and it turns on by itself. I talked to somone on appel and they told me to back it up and restore it. I restored it and as soon as the process ended and tuirned on like a brand new ipod and like clockwork the glitch happened instantly. It did it a couple of times throughout the night and i kept having to watch it so i can keep turning it off manually because it continues to turn on by itself. I talked to 3 different people on Apple Support and they couldnt even find an answer for me. It's so weird.

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.

    Also,
    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

    This shouldn't happen. Take it back since it's new.

  • My T400 has a flickering horizontal line at the bottom of the screen.

    A horizontal, flickering band has appeared along the bottom edge of the screen. When it settles down, there is just a thin line across the taskbar icons. Kindly assist to remove it.

  • My iPad screen has developed a vertical line down the middle

    My iPad screen has developed a vertical line down the middle for some reason. I have tried turning it off and resetting it, but the line still appears. Does anyone know what causes this or how it could be rectified?

    Hi JoMayo,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you're noticing lines or distortion on your iPad screen, I would suggest completing step 4 (update iPad) and 5 (restore iPad) in our iPad assistant:

  • My iMac has extremely small gray lines on the screen?

    My iMac has extremely small gray lines under the screen? There are 3 of them and they are right next to each other, have any of you guys experienced this? What did Apple do about it? BTW my computer is 4 months out of warranty, because i did not get the extended Apple Care, will they still fix my computer? Im really worried, but its not that noticeable, unless you already know its there.

    They won't fix your computer because it's out of warranty, perhaps an AppleCare lesson learned here. Of course you can try which doesn't hurt. The longer  you wait though and the less chance they will help. Can you attach a picture so we can see what they look like?

  • Issues with lines across the screen, as well as freezing

    Issues with lines across the screen, as well as freezing
    Hello all
    Got an iMac since January 2008 and I do like it a lot, even though it has some issues:
    -- It displays (quite often) lines partially across the screen
    -- Lines appear as well when opening applications or when menus come up
    -- The system freezes more than I like to admit (more than my Windows/Ubuntu box)
    I don't know if the freezing has to do with the lines that are shown on my screen. But I assume that both issues relate to some video card problem. I can't be sure - but that's what I assume from living with this issue day to day.
    The line on the desktop (most of the time it is there before login) I can always get rid of by changing the display resolution to something else and then changing it back. Normally the line is gone, or, reappears on a different spot on the desktop. But repeating the procedure removes the line.
    However, this does not mean that the lines are not showing up again when launching apps or displaying menus!
    And since those lines appear to happen randomly, I think it's safe to assume that we're not talking dead pixels here, either...
    About the freezing:
    My iMac freezes sometimes when I move the mouse around, when switching desktops using "spaces" or when the zoom function of the Dock kicks in. Sometimes the screen goes completely black, sometimes completely white. The mouse, however, always works. But the system requires a reboot.
    Again, this happens too often to feel comfy about it.
    With my little knowledge of Mac troubleshooting I assume that there's something wrong with the ATI card that's built into my Mac. On the other hand, some people say that they started getting similar issues after updating their OS to Leopard. Again other people say that such issues stem from an ATI revision that is too old and the Mac should get a new ATI card. And how would that work? Isn't that an "all-in-one" machine with everything soldered onto the mainboard?
    So, any help in this matter is greatly appreciated...
    Cheers,
    Rainer

    Here are a few screen photos I've taken (not screenshots, as the lines are not visible when taking screenshots. I used my digicam to snap those...).
    Here's the link to those screen photos displaying some of the many lines I keep having:

  • Help!! My Zen V Plus has a black line across the disp

    Hi can someone please help me, my v plus display has a horizontal line across the screen and it really ruins everything. Can this still be fixes? Would anyone know this problem or had the same experience?

    I have had similar bugs. If your player is still in warranty, your best bet would be to contact the store of purchase or Creative, explain your problem and ask for a replacement.

  • I have a line across the screen of my new ipad air

    I got an Ipad air for Christmas and I have noticed a thin blue line across the bottom of the screen about an inch from the bottom.  Has anybody else got this.

    I had exactly the same problem with my brand new iPad Air a month or so ago. I searched through these posts to see if anyone had the same problem, and found that a few people did. After seeing that it appeared to be a legitimate defect, I took it back to the Apple Store. The guy there just smiled and said "watch this"....he pulled the screen protector back, and poof, the line was gone from the iPad! Turns out that he had seen the same problem more than once at his store. Seems as though certain screen protectors can get those thin lines burned into them. Neither of us knows why, but that's what the problem was for mine. I sent an email to the screen protector manufacturer (mine was a Zagg) and the only response I got was that it must have been caused by direct sunlight "or something". They sent me a new protector, and so far all is still fine....we'll see if it happens again!

  • A few months back I Dropped my iPhone 4 and I cracked my screen and now i cant unlock my phone due to touchscreen not working plus there are blured lines across the screen and I can't see anything that it displays. Now when I try too connect my iPhone 4 t

    A few months back I Dropped my iPhone 4 and I cracked my screen and now i cant unlock my phone due to touch screen not working plus there are blurred lines across the screen and I can't see anything that it displays.
    Now when I try too connect my iPhone 4 to iTunes on my computer at home an error message comes up saying that I have to unlock my iPhone 4 for it to communicate to my device.
    But the problem is that I can't unlock my iPhone 4 because I'm unable to see the key pad and my touch screen no longer responds when I touch it.
    I just want to reset my iPhone 4 back to its Factory Settings & start all over from the beginning.
    How can I unlock my iPhone 4 with iTunes on my computer or any other option you suggest me trying.
    Thank you in advance,
    SiHero

    If you have had a "local guy "repair your iphone you will not get any support from Apple for warranty OR post warranty
    If Verizon return it to Apple it wil not be handled by Apple
    If Verizon also use unauthorised repairers you may be lucky
    (Apple do not sell parts to local guys or anyone else )

  • HT1430 Ipod touch (5th generation) w/ lines across the screen - now dead.

    My son's Ipod touch (5th generation) had lines across the screen. I turned it off using the home + on/off button reset, but the apple never came back on. Now it seems to be dead. Not dropped, not completely drained, no water damage. Just dead. Any ideas?
    I have also tried plugging it into my Macbook Pro, and iTunes does not find it.
    ITunes is up to date.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
