Qosmio G30 - lines on the screen and blue background

Hi
Im having a great deal of problem with this laptop...
Having purchased it some time ago its been working fine but out of the blue its given up on me...
I switch on the laptop and when the Qosmio logo comes up its all with lines in it and instead of the background being black it is blue.... after that funny characters start appearing on the screen and then the Windows Xp logo appears still a bit fuzzy a blue screen comes up with some error it flashes so quick you cannot read it and the laptop restarts itself....
I have tried reformatting it but the same problem occurs. help!
cheers

Hi
I meant the OS which was preinstalled from beginning.
All or most Toshiba notebooks are already preinstalled with an OS.
The newest series are preinstalled with Vista.
Anyway your issue looks a little bit like an GPU (graphic card) malfunction and possibly it would be advisable to check the notebook by an authorized service provider in your country

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 )

I reset my IPod touch because there were gray lines don the screen, and now the screen is flickering

I reset my IPod because there were gray lines down the screen, and now the screen is flickering, any ideas?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost (not sure which reset you did)
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.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I am having the same issue. ** MY IPHONE IS TURNING OFF RANDOMLY ** and it's driving me crazy.
THE SYMPTOM... I am using my phone fine and then when I go to send a text, take a photo, etc, it just turns off. This started a few weeks ago after upgrading to the new IOS. The 'symptoms' increased in frequency and my phone started turning off more frequently. I took my Iphone to the apple store. They reset the phone to factory standards and the problem still exists.
THE PROBLEM: The guy at the Genius Bar said he knows there is a known software issue, and this looks like it's affected my processor. BUT this was only after I told him that I have been reading about a lot of other people having the same problem.
THE SOLUTION: Are you having the same issue? ... Reply to this post and let me know. If a lot of people are having the same problem, Apple will probably just swap out the phones. My phone is in mint condition except for the new 'problem' its having after I upgraded my software.

Satellite P100-286 - Vertical lines on the screen and constant reboots

I got this P100-286 with Nvidia Geforce Go 7900 GS and recently the laptop started freezing with vertical lines on the screen tried different options even tried recovery cd to re-install and after installation it started doing the same. I have read similar problems in the forum and is this a common problem with Toshiba? I have spend 1500 on this and it is only 3 years old. My friends have laptops older than this almost 6 years and in good working condition.
Is there any solution or suggestion for this problem? The heat on the base of the laptop is really hot and it is like this for ages.
Any help is really appreciated after spending this much would like to last longer or it is a realibility issue with Toshiba brand.

It is happening in BIOS and even tried ubuntu on a boot cd and still having the same problem. I took to a PC servicing center they immediatly said it is a graphics card problem. The lines are comming in an external display as well. If you search in this forum you will see similar issues is reported by another user. I do think it is a genuine problem. The graphics chip is on board and it cost a lot to replace it that is what I been told.

My iPod 5th generation has white lines across the screen and i cannot unlock it

My iPod has white lines across the screen. I cannot do anything! Somebody please help! P.S. I dropped it and it did this.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 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. I suspect that the drop damaged the iPod

Mac with a white line on the screen and will not start

my computer is a macbook has a white line on the right side of the screen and does not boot me know it can be. gracais many whom I can collaborate

All they were asking is if someone could tell them what was wrong with it.......It sounds like your inner LCD screen cracked. I had the same problem. Mine was out of warrenty though so I actually bought the part off of Ebay and replaced it myself. The front screen and inner LCD are connected so you have to buy them the same way to fix it. It was like $28 and came with the tools. Just FYI. Obviously if you are in warrenty....have apple fix it.

I bought a refurbished HP P2-1013W and it will show some blue lines on the screen and lock up.

I purchased this pc in April but did not take it out of the box until recently. Set it up for my parents and it keep getting the blue lines and locking up. There is no particular situation that causes it to freeze. I did the system restore to factor defaults, worked fine for a couple of days and now it is doing it again.

Hello ddolson69,
To rule out the monitor as being the issue we need to first test it on another machine. If the problem persists there we know the monitor is the cause. If the monitor works fine then we know we have the issue with the system.
Are you using an integrated video card or are you using a video card that has been added to a PCI slot?
Open the computer up check the fans and ensure all fans are working properly and that there is adequate air flow within the machine.
If it's dirty inside clean it out with a can of compressed air. Pay particular attention to the heat sink and any fans that may be attached or around the video card.

Areas of blue across half of the screen and blue boxes around apps. whats happening?

Hello. I have an Iphone 5s. and I am getting areas of Blue on my screen and apps Highlighted in blue.
Please can anybody help?

Sadly your iPad screen and/or backlight is going bad from what you explain... Taking it to Apple will be an option... you need to see what their diagnotics test reveal... either faulty backlight or screen or both... that will determine cost to repair... they will give options prior to you having to decide on what you want to spend...

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

I just bought an iPad 3 around 6 days ago, today I saw a vertical black line on the screen and I tried resetting my iPad but I couldn't fix it. I took it to many apple sale store and reseller but none of them agreed to fix my iPad, please help me with it!

I'm currently living in Saudi Arabia but I bought my iPad 3 from Dubai around 6 days ago, my device is still under warranty but none of the apple stores are fixing it over here in Saudi Arabia... Please help me with my situation!

Hi Eric Ferguson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
Best of luck,

I'm getting a series of black lines on the screen in Safari

This just sort of started out of the blue today. There are a bunch of black lines on the screen, and when I try to scroll, the lines just scroll along with it. When I look at things via an app, there are no lines, making me think it's a software issue with Safari. Anybody have this problem or know how to make it go away?

Using iCloud to sync bookmarks between your Mac and iPad?
If so, on the iPad tap Settings > iCloud. Swich Safari off then back on.
On your Mac, open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Safari then reselect it.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync your bookmarks.
If you are using iCloud, don't sync Safari bookmarks on iTunes. That could be why the bookmark tabs got emptied out.

IPhone 5S! I dropped my phone and now I cannot see the screen and i need to restore to original settings

When i dropped it, the screen went crazy and now I see a whole bunch of random colorful lines on the screen and I am unable to press anything. I want to restore the phone to factory settings, but when I connect to iTunes on my Mac, it is saying that I must enter the passcode, which I cannot do, because of the screen. It also says that I can't restore my iPhone because Find My iPhone is on. In order to turn it off I have to unlock my phone and turn it off through the phone but i can't!! Someone please help me

If you turned on Find My Phone in Settings > iCloud, login to your iCloud account, go to Find My Phone, select the iPhone and do a remote erase.
If you did not turn on Find My Phone there is nothing more you can do...take it to an Apple store genius bar for an out of warranty replacement, in the US that is $269.

My iphone 5 stopped working. I only see a thin white line on the screen

My iphone stopped working. I can only see a thing white line on the screen and the screen does not respond at all although turning the phone on vibrate makes it vibrate. The screen has been cracked for some time but has worked fine until today.
Thanks for any help.

Hi susiesunshine,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the screen on your iPhone is cracked and it's only displaying a white line. This generally means that the iPhone needs to be sent in for service, see the articles below for more information about the service suggestion and repair pricing.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Display shows a white screen
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
If the iPhone will not turn off, try to reset it.
If that doesn't work, try restoring the device.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
