Qosmio G10 has vertical lines on the display

I've got a G10 which I've been using quite happily for the last 15 months since I bought it.
However, it's now got 4 vertical lines on the display, 2 purple (magenta?), 1 yellow and 1 cyan. Other than these lines there are no other problems, it's never crashed or anything like that.
The lines are always there, they never change in any way and are always in the same place. They appear on the display at very first powerup, before the Qosmio logo comes on.
They didn't all appear at the same time, they have all appeared individually over the last two months. I did see the last one disappear briefly, then stay on.
I'm assuming my display is slowly dying, which I would assume to be an expensive item.
Any advice thrown my way would be much appreciated!
I took a picture of the screen which you can find at:

Note: picture was taken with Media Player fullscreen on a black image, just to show up the lines clearly)

Hi
I would suggest connecting an external display to check if it's a graphic card or a display problem. If this lines appears also on the external display so there could be also something wrong with the graphic card.
If these lines don't appear on the external monitor so only the notebook display has a malfunction.
However, this doesn't change anything on your situation. I would recommend contacting the Toshiba ASP for solving this issue.

  • My late 2007 Mac Book Pro has tiny vertical lines in the display intermittently.

    Intermittent, tiny vertical lines in display of my refurbished Mac Book Pro late 2007 , A1226 model.
    Have replaced the actual display screen.
    Apple Genius Bar tested hardware and all OK, although the display was working by the time I got there.
    It is fine right now, I am using it for this post, but is hard to read small letters and numbers when it acts up.
    Even when the lines appear the display shows bright and crisp on any external monitor.
    Does anyone have any insight to this problem?
    Thanks !

    It could be the inverter cable or board is beginning to get frayed.
    If attaching an external display shows the lines, you know the problem is direct to the videochip itself.
    Some games are videochip specific in their requirements and may trigger the issue anyway, if the videochip is not on their supported list.

  • Qosmio G15: green vertical lines on the screen

    It all started one regular day when I was playing music on my iTunes.
    Suddenly my screen went black and the music stopped, but my power button was still blue. Ever since then, whenever I try to start it, it goes on the Qosmio screen and the Windows XP screen and plays the start-up sound, but it has all these green vertical lines on the screen. And then it goes black and tsays that way.
    I have been able to use Windows VGA (whatever that means) with lines all over the screen, but I am not able to start it up normally. Does anyone have any suggestions or have had the same problem??? Please help me!!!
    I have a Toshiba G15 Windows XP Media Centre, but am not able to use it normally!

    Hello, This problem happens to me two weeks ago. I have a F10 and the warranty expired 3 months ago. I rarely use my laptop. Talked to a well known local store rep. He said there was a specculation on F10 as it was discontinous after a year of release. I agree that well known company like Toshiba should operate like Car companies and be honest on their products. Specially high end product like this.
    I was not informed about extended warranty when I bought it as the local store just want to sell and sell and move on. One of the regional store which represents Toshiba to repair all Laptop, said They are only allowed to fix all laptops except Qosmios models. They have to sent it to Toshiba.

  • IPhone 5 has vertical lines on the screen. Help !

    Hey a few days ago. I left my phone on a table faced down in a small puddle of bubble mix. ugh.
    Everything works the sound, touch screen, camera. No glitches. But my phone is discolored & has vertical lines.
    I was wondering of If should just get a new screen or if there's a better way ??

    Try backing up the phone and then do a restore, when you restore set it up as new to see if it still persists if it does you''ll probably need a repair.

  • Intel iMac (Early 2008) Has vertical lines on the screen and doesn't boot.

    My iMac froze up tonight, and upon restarting it there are a number of yellow vertical line segments throughout the display, and it will not boot completely into the OS. The spinning segment just stops and the computer does nothing. I inserted my Leopard disc to run a hardware test but holding D during bootup does nothing, even though I can hear the disc spin up.

    Any Thoughts?

    I've had this same exact issue and have had to have the graphics card replace (nvidia 8800gs).
    It seems these graphics cards are defective in some way.
    Unfortunately my iMac is out of warranty and I must pay 3500dkk ( 500usd ) for repair.
    I'm very disappointed as to the reliability of these iMacs as I've only had it for 2 years my old iMac g4 1ghz has performed better than this and is actually what I'm using until my so called new iMac is back from repairs

  • IPhoto book has vertical lines down the pages

    I am ready to send my 54 page photo book to Apple.  However, in going through it one more time, there are vertical lines --1 -2 per page on about half of the pages.  They have not been there before.  They are white or colored.  Some go through all the page vertically and some are only 1/2 the distance.  Most of the pages effected are the left or the even number ones, but that is not always the case.  I shut down IPhoto to see if that would work.  Last night support here told me to rebuild the library which I did--that was to take care of the constantly spinning color wheel.  What can I do about this new problem.  I am so excited about the book and want to send it to print, but fear that these lines will show up.

    Thanks Larry,
    YOu have been spot on this week with my 2 questions.  The preview seems to be fine, so guess I can proceed. The lines are gone in the preview.
    There is also another glitch, however.  In my map page, I have identified the cities.  Most of them are there, but some--only the red dots are there and when I click on the red dot, the name shows, then when I click outside the book, the dot stays, and the name goes away.  There seems to be plenty of room for the name.  I thought it might be OK in the preview, since the lines went away, but there are still a couple that don't show.

    Hello,
    Have you blown the dust out lately?
    Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12381/temperature-monitor
    Take a screen shot & view that in Preview, move the Preview window around, if you see double lines it's a Video card/VRAM problem, if the lines do not move moving the pic around then it's the LCD or cable.

  • I have a white vertical line down the right side of my internal brand new macbook pro 13" display

    I have a white vertical line down the right side of my internal brand new macbook pro 13" display. I've done the following:
    -Shutdown the computer, and restarted in Safe Mode by pressing the Shift key after the restart tone
    -Shutdown the computer, and restarted by pressing Command, Option, P & R after the restart tone
    -Checked display resolution, Best for Retina
    -Hooked it up to a Dell external monitor and via projection to screen. There are no lines on the external or secondary screens
    -Just curious, I ran a color utility which can not repair 4 items, maybe this is another issue.
    This is a brand new Macbook Pro, just out of the box. It was fine for two days without any issues, fine last night while in use, opened it up this morning with the line.
    Anyone now how I can fix this on my own?

    If you are within the first 14 days from the date of purchase, return the MBP for a refund or an exchange.  If you are after the first 14 days of the date of purchase, have the MBP repaired under the warranty provisions.
    Ciao.
