Random White Line

The other day I went to use my ipod classic 120gb that I bought last year and there is now a random white line on the screen going from left to right. It is very small but obvious and annoying. I did restore the ipod and tried turning it off and on before that. The only other relevant info I have is that it was left near a window on the sill where it got very cold. My place is heated usually to 70 because it is winter and I live in massachusetts. The ipod felt very cold if I had to guess it was at least 45 degrees but it has that metal back so that could have made it feel worse. I am wondering if there are any fixes to this other than getting it repaired and if it needs to be repaired i will probably just buy a new ipod touch

Hey I have a similar problem! But my lines are grayish and very annoying. I did the same thing to try to fix this but didn't work. I didn't even touch my ipod for 1 week and after that didn't use it for 2 weeks. The lines are still there!!! Then I Rubbed the screen and most of the lines are gone other than dots replaced where the lines were.

  • Macbook Pro, random white lines appear when browsing Facebook

    Recently when browsing Facebook, random white horizontal lines appear across the screen when scrolling up and down. 
    They will mostly go away when I move my mouse cursor across the screen.
    I saw another post about this a few minutes ago (dated May 8) but now it no longer appears.
    Anybody have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    Is there any way I can find out if its the cord withhout taking the screen apart?

  • Random thin white line at the bottom of my picture

    Okay i have 344 pictures in total on my iphone 4s that i synced from my computer, the problem is some of the pictures have this very thin white line at the very bottom of the picture but when you click the button edit the white line just dissapears or if you set it as background the white line is gone and sometimes by it self the white line dissapears then later on reappears. Is this a software or hardware issue and how do you fix it?
    Oh also when i shut my phone off then on the pictures that have white line at bottom doesn't have it anymore then later on it just randomly re appears and i know the pictures isn't suppose to have a thin white line at the bottom because on my computer when i open it its not there.
    So please if anyone know if this is a software or hardware problem and how do i fix it thank you .

    So you only see it in QT Fullscreen mode?
    The reason I'm pressing this is that I've seen green lines LIKE this with issues resulting from what seems like a very hot video card.
    Usually they 1) aren't that crisp and 2) don't always show up each time you view it.
    And this is AFTER compression, yes? For sure this isn't on the original material? Make sure you set your canvas in FCP to 100% size to see all of the lines.

  • Black screen with white line

    I have a late 2009 Macbook.  Ocasionally when i open it up, i get a black screen with a bright white line at the bottom of the monitor.  Rebooting and closing the laptop doesn't change anything.  I can connect it to an external display and the display appears pefectly on the other screen, while the mac remains black with a white line at the bottom.  If i take off the bottom cover plate, and touch a new random things, the screen will return to normal, but flicker initially. This has now happened 3 times, and i can't seem to make any sense of it.  After reading online i can't see to find any problems on this MC207ll/a macbook.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You obviously broke the screen when the phone was dropped.  Apple doesn't repair the screen on an iPhone 4; it will replace the phone for $149.

  • Good workflow to avoid white lines and discolored boxes with transperancy?

    I'm somewhat new to Illustrator.  I have designs in illustrator CS4 that contain objects with drop shadows that are on top of gradient backgrounds.  When I save out the artwork as a PDF file I see random faint white lines and discolored boxes around the objects with the drop shadows.  When I print proofs of the file on my HP3500 color laser printer I see the white lines and discolored boxes as well.  I'm afraid the the lines will show up in production when I send off to the printer. Here's what I'm doing.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    (Document Raster Effects Settings: Resolution-High 300ppi/Background: Transperant/Options: preserve spot colors, add 12.7mm around object)
    1. Save file as PDF from Illustrator CS4
    2. PDF Settings
         a. PDF Preset: PDF /xa:2001
         b. Advanced Overprint and Transperancy flatener options: Preset-High Resolution
    When viewed and printed from Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro there are white stiching lines that are visible.
    Do I need to worry about these? Or will they go away when sent to a better printer?
    Thanks for the help.

    Try "Press Quality" Acrobat 5 compatable setting for "live" transparency.  You can also try PDF/X-4 2008 which maintains live transparency and, in CS4, maintain Acrobat 5 compatability.  PDF-X1 is a setting that "flattens" transparency which may limit your output options, depending on final output device.  Double check your raster settings and make sure it is set for 300ppi/2400dpi and not 72ppi/300dpi.  As suggested by Wade, your printer may not be a Postscript Level 3 output device with a RIP.  So, the driver may not be screening the artwork properly and the stitching shows up in output.  You may benefit from taking the file to a prepress shop and have them output a "contract" proof.  If the stitching shows up in the contract proof, then the PDF setup may be the problem or the original file itself.

  • InDesign CS3- Appearing white lines when uploading

    Hi Everyone... I've created a brochure, standard 8.5x11 trifold, in InDesign. Everything comes out great, up until I upload the PDF I created in InDesign on a printer's website and view the proof. For some reason, when I view the proof, there are white lines that seem to be some how associated with some of my text. Various places throughout my document, I can see thin white lines above, below, and beside certain text. I've tried changing the version of the PDF to an older version. Didn't work. I tried saving it as a JPEG, instead of a PDF... That looks even worse(blurry border around text... trust me... even worse). I have no idea what's going on. I tried changing the Transparency Flattener Preset... No difference. Please help. Very frustrated and need to have this brochure ordered like... yesterday. I appreciate any input I can get. Thanks for yoru help.

    I tried to export it to Acrobat 5, but the issue still exists. The white lines do not form a perfect box. They are lines that appear randomly throughout my brochure. Some of them horizonal, some vertical. Some lines are are the length of words, some are the size of single characters. I'm not sure if this is associated with the stitching issue described above, but just wanted to be specific.
    How do you turn off the smooth line art and smooth images option in Acrobat? I didn't find that option in the menu.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • White lines do I have a damaged screen but  glass screen is not broken ?!?

    White lines do I have a damaged screen ? They are now spreading and taking over my desktop but glass screen is not broken ?!?

    they aren't dead pixels if they're white, are you sure they aren't grey? are they all vertical/horizontal, or just randomly spread around? also, have you dropped it or had done any physical activity with it? year would be helpful as well

  • Ipod displayed white lines, shut off, now doesn't work. What do I do?

    I was using an app on my 32 gb Ipod touch that I just got in Janurary 2012. The ipod then displayed a bunch of white lines and shut off. I hooked the ipod to itunes and it did not recognize it. I then tried to hold in the power and home buttons in with it connected to the computer and without it connected to the computer. After being disapointed I went on the web to see if I could find the answer. The ipod then randomly turned on. My next plan was to restore the itouch, as some said that this was needed to fix it. I first wanted to save my data on some apps so i did not lose them. This was a seperate app than before, so I know it had nothing to do with the particular app. Well anyway, while doing this, the ipod did the same exact thing, but now I cannot get it to work again. If I can get it to work I plan on restoring it right away, but I am starting to think it is a hardware issue. Any ideas?

    - After being connected to a charging source for an hour, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow you to restore the iPOd. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Next try DFU mode.
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

  • White line flicker

    When ever i watch a movie or play any games on my new MacBook i get this really annyoying white line in the bottom right corner that's flickering at a random pace.
    I would very much appreciate some help on this matter since it is really annyoing.

    Yo! I have this same exact issue!
    I thought it was the hardware so I took it into the genius bar and they gave me a new one. The new one has the same problem. I even tried one at the apple store and I saw the same thing!
    I'm hoping its an issue with the graphics driver, I hear gma x3100 drivers suck.

  • What is this white line under my preview window?

    I accidentally hit T while editing and suddenly there were 2 preview windows in my preview window. I hit T again and it went back to 1 but now there's a white line under my preview screen. What is it? And did it do something to my image? How do I remove it? And what does T do in adobe premiere? And what were those 2 preview images in my preview window?
    Here's a picture:

    Dont think you have to worry about the white line. I think the program monitor is not updating correctly. Resizing the window should fix that.

  • White Lines Across Powerpoint files converted to PDF

    I have a number of PDF files that were created from Microsoft Powerpoint presentations on a Windows PC. The Preview inspector says they were created with Acrobat Distiller 8.2.2. Until recently, these PDFs looked 100% correct when viewed in Preview or Safari. Now, though, they have horizontal white lines across the pages. There are 6 white lines on each page, evenly spaced, each about 1 pixel in height. They stay at 1 pixel in height even when I zoom in/out on the document. At some zoom levels (100% being one of them), the area above and below some lines will become misaligned. When viewed with Adobe Reader 9, the lines are not there but the misalignment is (though it is not exactly the same as in Preview). Unfortunately, I can't say when this started happening other than it was fine in September (2010) and isn't this afternoon (Nov 22, 2010). It happens on a coworker's Macbook Pro as well as my iMac so it is not something unique to my Mac.
    Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas as to how to fix it?

    Hi, I am having this problem also on my iMac. Some of the images have the lines and some of them don't. When the PDFs are printed, the lines don't show. My problem is that these PDFs will be linked to on a website for the clients to print, and they will seem them with the lines. They are pretty unsightly, and my boss has put this into my lap to figure out, since I am the designer. Did you ever find an answer for this? I don't know where else to turn, since this company is insisting on using Pages, rather than something like InDesign.

  • Cursor arrow gone from solid black to having white lines go through it and trackpad is not working properly in mail and adobe acrobat - anyone know how this could have happened and how to solve it?

    Can anyone help me?  Concerned that I may have some kind of malware.  My cursor arrow and trackpad are behaving strangely,  The cursor used to be a solid black arrow but now seems to have horizontal white lines running through it.  The trackpad does not function normally either.  For example, when I use my trackpad to scroll up and down in mail  it sometimes works and sometimes does not.  In adobe acrobat it sometimes does not work.  In facebook, the cursor does not line up behind the menu keys as it should.
    Any one know how this might have happened and how I can stop it?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Scrolling with mouse on pages create black and white lines,

    When scrolling with mouse, periodically the whole screen turns into black and white lines. Sometimes whole page, sometimes just pictures/side ads. If you continue to scroll it does go away but then you need to scroll back to where the lines started, its hard to explain, i have taken 1 photo of the problem but will take more photos as i can, i really enjoy how Firefox runs on my computer, it has always been the best browser for my needs. I did recently buy a new desktop, but it did it then also, so i removed it and tried running explorer and Google and i just don't like them, so i am hoping we can get this fixed.
