Satellite A100-683: Small Lines running through screen

Hello,
I bought my Toshiba A100-683 for a month ago.
The problem is that I sometimes see small grayish lines running through the LCD screen from the top the bottom.
This is are the type of lines u also see when u use your (phone) camera to make a movie of a monitor / lcd screen.
I don see them always and seem to appear randomly.
I've updated my video card drivers but this didn't solve the problem.
Is anyone familiar with this problem ?? Or knows an solution for it before i will send it for repair.

Hi
I would recommend connecting it to the external monitor. If the small lines dont appear on the external connected monitor so I suppose the graphic card is ok and possibly only the FL inverter could has a malfunction.
Anyway, its no matter whats wrong because the warranty should be valid in your case and all replacements should be done for free.
greetings

  • Blue line running through screen (T400 1440 x 900)

    Hey guys,
    So  my monitor has this blue line running straight through my monitor vertically. When I first got it, if I tapped my monitor on the side a bit, it would go away but then the line was permanent! I thought my screen was busted and started looking into a replacement screen. Now, suddenly, as I type the line flickers and it will go away so the monitor will be normal. But after some more typing the line will reappear. Now Im thinking the vibrations are affecting some sort of connection to the screen and the screen may not be bad. What do you guys think? Is it the monitor or a connection? If its a connection, what connection would it be?
    Thanks,
    John
    P.S.
    I took a picture of the screen right here. You guys can see the line that runs straight up and down in the middle of the picture

    that is usually the problem with cable connection between motherboard or the LCD itself.
    Also, try to connect to an external LCD, to see whether this problem comes up.

  • Grey lines running through screen

    My 30GB ipod classic has thick grey lines on the display screen. How do i get rid of them.?

    Bet your warranty just ran out right?
    This stuff is designed to fail.
    They all crap out after your warranty runs out.   Electronic junk designed to make you go spend more next time.

  • Blue line running through screen

    I just got off the phone with Apple Care and have an appointment at the genius bar, but just in case someone here has an answer that will fix this without having to take my mac in to the store, I am asking.  It just started today.  Actually, this afternoon because I don't think I saw it this morning.  A thin blue vertical line almost from the top clear to the bottom about 2 or 3 inches from the right side of the screen appeared.  I swear I think if I didn't think that it would get worse I would live with it, but my thought was that it is a hardware problem and the tech at Applecare seemed to think so too.  We reset SMC and PRAM and no change.  If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it.  I am afraid I will have to leave it and it is kind of scary how many things I use the computer for on a daily basis.
    Thanks in advance if you can think of something.  and if not, I will get it fixed.  Fortunately it is still under Applecare.

    (this isn't supposed to happen to my mac)

    That's what I thought.  Its just such a pain.  I have a time machine backup and I also have an online backup service.  I have over 10,000 photos and about a year ago realized that an external backup is good, but wouldn't be if there were a fire or some other disaster.  Too many important family memories to risk, and I have also discovered that backups are really good when you delete and trash something you didn't want to.  But it is always a good thing to remind someone .  Its just amazing how many little things you realize you do on a computer from bill paying to library book renewing to just looking up information.  I will be glad when its fixed and back in its rightful home.

  • Ipad had colored lines running through the screen

    My ipad first generation which i love now has colored lines running through the screen.  Can it be fixed?

    Howdy diana,
    It sounds like your iPad has mulitcolored lines all over it. I would recommend a few things here to help isolate the issue to software or hardware. Try restarting the phone with this article:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next try reseting the device with the same article:
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    If the issue is not resolved, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it as a new device to see if the lines are still there. If not then restore your backup and verify they are still gone.

    If the lines are there even when setup as a new device, your iPad may need service:

  • Screen has lines running through it, is it worth replacing screen?

    Screen has lines funning through it, is it worth replacing screen on 2009 iMac?

    What do you mean by lines running through it?  There have been users with vertical lines, sometimes blue, or yellow, or pink, or combinations.  Those have all turned out to be a bad graphics unit chip that the Apple store techs were able to remove and replace without replacing the entire logic board.
    Take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs test and advise on how to resolve this.

  • Extra line running through the screen on my Officejet 6500 printer

    I just noticed a second horizontal line running through the screen on my Officejet 6500 printer screen (right through where the ink levels show up.)  The screen resembles graph paper.  What causes this?  Is there something wrong with the machine?  Can something be done to correct it?

    Hi there,
    A full factory reset may not be required. Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
    Best of Luck!

  • My ipod has lines running through it, what can I do

    My ipod classic has lines running through the screen.  What can I do to fix it?

    First and foremost: Try resetting the device. If that doesn't fix the problem, it could be a hardware issue. I would then suggest contacting Apple Technical Support or taking it to your local Genius bar at an Apple Store.

  • Photosmart 8250 4x6 Prints with horizontal lines running through them

    I'm getting horizontal lines running through many of the 4x6 prints made with my Photosmart 8250.  They're about 1/3"  to 2/3" apart from one another.  I've run the head cleaning process and alignment process.  I've tried cleaning the rollers.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • How to remove black line running through my browser

    I recently upgraded to Firefox 4 and I now have this annoying black line running through my browser at the top.

    The only "Line Break"
    <br /> I see is at the end.
    Code formating just cleans the display of the visual code it doesn't effect the browser display.
    You can do a "Search and Replace" the <br /> with nothing. to strip all <br /> for the whole site or DIR or page.
    In code view right mouse click and choose
    "Search and Replace"
    Is this what your are asking help on?
