My screen get white with horizontal lines

Hello,
I have an Ibook G3; I bought it in october 2002 in France. A fiew days ago, I took it with me to school, and there all of a sudden the whole screen was white, with many horizontal lines. The system was not responding anymore. But after that, it worked fine again. It happens now more often. I don't know if it's worth to repair, since I don't have any warranty anymore. What could the problem be?
Thanks.

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
It sounds like you may be having logic board problems. Enough dual USB G3 iBooks suffered from this problem that Apple began the iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program in January of 2004. Check out the FAQ page and if the symptoms look familiar, give Apple a call. If your iBook qualifies, it's a free fix.
If you are past the three-year time limit, ask to speak to Customer Relations and ask them to please make an exception to the three-year limit in your case.
Good luck!

Ipod touch remains black, cant restore reset or conect with i tunes. tried resetting recharging but remains black. before it shut down i was warned that i didnt have space to load a app then the screen went white with black lines; kinda of like fuzz

is there another way to restart?

- After charging for half an hour see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next try DFU mode

The same is happening for me. Today I decided to reboot my PC because it was acting up a bit, go figure, and then for some reason at the same time the PC was restarting my macbook froze. I had to do a reboot with the restart button but then all that came up was a gray background and in the middle of the screen was a darker gray folder with a white question mark in the middle of it, blinking. I can't imagine why the restart would've affected my macbook. After finding information on how to fix this, I tried all of the steps that were given about using the mac OS X disk to use the first aid utility to fix it. When using the Disk Utility option whenever I select my hardrive and am in the First Aid tab, the only button I can use is the Verify Disk Permissions. The other three buttons, and namely the most important Repair Disk button, is/are not selectable (grayed out). I then tried resetting the PRAM the way they also said with the command + option + P + R and waited for the second startup sound. After that I gave the Disk Utility a second try, but still nothing. And now if I try to just reinstall the OS completely I can't even select a destination volume on the third step (Select Destination). Apparently this means i'm SOL.

My iphone 4s screen turned freaked out before my eyes, changing all different colours, now it is blue and black along the right side with horizontal lines, and is flickering. I DIDN'T DROP IT.

I was just sitting on the couch scrolling through facebook, I closed out of that and went to open safari, when it spazzed out, for a few mintutes it looked like LSD vision, it was all different colours and flickering the whole time. I turned it off and on again, and plugged it into my computer and now the right side is nearly completely blue, and bleeds to the left side with horizontal lines, and it is still flickering. I just finished paying the **** thing off. I thought I'd get another year out of it. I have taken exemplary care of it and it hasn't left the case since the day I bought it. I haven't dropped it, there was no warning for the screen to start doing this. So my question is, is there an easy fix (I am about to restore and update it, and I already played around with the screen brightness), and if not, am I going to have to pay for the screen to be replaced, because I don't have that kind money.

Probably sounded funnier in your head.

When I went to turn the desktop on, the start up sound came on. Then the screen was white with an icon flashing. The icon is a file folder with a question mark on it. I cannot get it to fully turn on. HELP

Hi guys i have a problem that i have never experienced before, here goes...i have a 30GB 5th generation iPod, i was playing music when i deceided to sync so music, When i connected it to the PC the screen just went *white with lines across the screen* as though the display was damaged. The lines were showing different colours because the logo "DO NOT DISCONNECT" was attempting to show.
I tried restarting & restoring my iPod but that didn't work, when i restarted it the screen was tring to display the "APPLE" Logo after it was booting up, the screen was dark as usual when u restart it but with lines across and when the main screen came up it was white with the lines. Now the next weird thing that happened was when i turned off the iPod and then turned it back on the screen was back to normal, when i turned it off and on again the problem returned, if i leave it off for about *1-2 minutes* and i turn it on its fine but when i turn it off & on the problem returns.
Besides the problem with the lines on the screen the ipod is working ok, can anyone please assist with with the huge problem? i don't know what to do...HELP ME!

Just experienced the same problem yesterday and left with two white lines across the screen and 1/3 from the top of the screen.

Part of my screen is white with lines?

My computer was fine a couple of days ago. I had not used it for a few days, and when i powered it up just now, a small portion of the screen is white with a few lines. It annoyingly covers a part of my screen and i hate it. I have already tried restarting my laptop many times. Help! Here is a picture of it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w8tzp70rbzp5eap/2014-11-28%2014.28.50.jpg?dl=0

That is going to require a new screen to fix. Looks like maybe it is a dv6000? If not, please give us the full model number of the laptop. Screens now cost under $75 and are fairly easy to fix.

I'm using Win 7 and Firefox Screen fills with horizontal lines,

Had no problems with previous versions of FF. I updated with FFv4 several weeks ago and have my browser screen continually being filled with horizontal lines. I can remove some of them by using the vertical scroll bar but they return when the display contains a lot of text. Sometimes when display is pictures or videos I am spared. This never occurred before FFv4. If a screen contains a few pictures and is engulfed in lines I can scroll it with my mouse and some pictures reappear but there are still lines over the rest of the display. I use an antivirus (BitDefender) and scan regularly. I also use Windows Defender for protection which was recommended by my AV manufacturer.
Sometimes of late I have noticed that when the display is no maximized the problem doesn't happen as often. I use a 19" monitor.
So far tonight while writing this note I haven't experienced a problem but the window is not set to max.

I had this problem as well. For me, the solution was to disable the two latest add-ons I had installed: Cooliris and HP Detect (I have a Pavilion dm1z). The issue with horizontal lines went away after restarting the browser.

I can't get my computer to boot up. The screen is white with a file folder and then at ? in the middle

Before declaring that the disk is dead (which is a common cause for what you are seeing), try the steps outlined in this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
This article also has some troubleshooting steps you can try:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1417
If you don't have your original system disks, you can boot into single user mode folloing these instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1492
and then following the directions for running the fsck command in the second article I list above.
I would try these things before giving up and assuming that the disk is dead. The flashing question mark indicates that a valid boot disk cannot be found. One cause for this is that the disk has experienced hardware failure. However another cause could be that the system and boot files on that disk are somehow damaged (perhaps from a power surge or an improper shutdown of the computer) and in some cases the above repair steps can restore them to working condition.

Final Cut Pro X is exporting video with horizontal lines?

I filmed a show with 2 different cameras (one is a canon vixia, the other is a canon dos 7D, i realize the quality is different for them) and I used the multi cam editor to match h up the clips and audio file to switch back and forth. I think i created proxy media to use for the multi cam clip. Whenever i export my movie, the movie plays with horizontal lines, and whenever there is faster motion, the person gets blurred. What is making final cut pro x export like this? How do I fix this? I've tried exporting with Apple ProRes 422, Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy), and H.264, but all video files have the lines going through it and the motion is a bit blurry. Please help me!!

There are quite a few Vixia models from Canon; which is yours?
Without looking at the image, it's not certain, but your description sounds like interlaced footage displayed on a computer. The 7D only shoots progressive, so it's possible your other cam was set to record interlaced. If your first clip placed on the timeline was an interlaced clip, FCP would automatically set the project to interlaced.
In a addition to your model #, what would be useful is to select one of the Vixia clips in the browser and then to take a screen shot of the top part of the Info pane.

Just updated my Ipad operating system and one of my apps starts but then the screen turns white, with only the advertisment at the top showing

Just updated my Ipad operating system and one of my apps starts but then the screen turns white, with only the advertisment at the top showing

The normal suggestions.
Close the app,off fully. Double tap the home screen then touch and hold any of the icons on the task bar until they jiggle, then close them all off by touching the - sign.
Then reboot the pad and try the spp again. If same issue, delete the app, then reload it. ( no charge). You may just have a bad copy. If continues, write to the developer, they may need to do an update. I have an older version of the same app and it works fine.
Since yours is the ad supported version, they are maing real sure you see the ad. Is it as simple as you need to click thru the ad to get to the game?

Capturing DV PAL signal - generates picture with horizontal lines

I am using:
iMac 2,8GHz
camera DV SONY DCR-PC100E, which is recoding/playout in anamorfic 16:9 mode
connected to computer via Firewire400
When I am importing the signal into the FCP, the image gets divided into horizontal lines, that are not aligned (line width roughly 5 pixels, visable best when there is activity in the picture like panning the scene, people running).
I have tried all possible settings:
-default
-DV PAL
-DV PAL anamorphic
-DV pal (786x576) anamorphic
but results are always the same.
What really drives me mad is that when importing into iMovie (06 or 08), these lines don't appear.
Where did I get it wrong?
Thanks.
gs

Thank you for your effort.
TV is 16:9 (SD) plasma TV (Samsung), with Pioneer DVR-630 DVD player.
The results are as follows:
-when played from the camera directly to the TV - the results are impecable - no lines no nothing, just crisp picture...
-when played from DVD - the lines...
Capturing:
-at first I captured everything on the default settings - with the lines
-i have changed the settings to match the camera COMPLETELY - still the lines
The funny part:
I just did a funny test:
-I have imported material with iMovie 08, using dafults (DV PAL, 16:9). The clips displayed in iMovie are OK (no lines, no nothing)
-I have coppied the files (the .dv files) into the project directory of the FCP (using 5.1), and the clips, that play so well in iMovie, now have the lines.
Again, this would make me think, that this is the Canvas problem, if he playout again (i made a test - export to QT) wouldn't have the lines again... But it does.
I feel like I am in a dead end street...
