Screen has masive line of black

Um... my computer just recently developed a massive vertical line which is aprox. 2 and 1/2 inch's wide
it developed oddly as i was opening a application, and was originally a fuzzy Grey set of vertical lines. (it is now a black line)
if i look really close at it now i can still see a slight bit of Grey and lines that constantly move.
i don't know much about this type of screen.
and i was wondering if anyone else has developed it or if they have any knowlage of this odd occurrence.
please help shed some light on this issue, because its going to be expensive adventure of mine :'(

This is probably a monitor fault, and requires a replacement.
My iMac developed a black 6cm strip on the right of screen, which occaisionally became white.
I could still drag & drop from any icon underneath.
Mine was diagnosed & replaced at Apple workshop.

  • Startup screen has green lines and black box asking to restart

    When I try and start my computer, I get a series of vertical lines that go from pinkish red to green. Then a black
    Box appears telling me I need to restart in different languages. My computer is fairly old, does anyone know if this problem is fixable? Is it a part that can be replaced?

    The Mid 2010 15-inch MacBook Pro problems are related to kernel panics, so the GPU is still working. In the case of the OP, the GPU has stopped working completely, so his/her problem doesn't belong to the kernel panic problem, so the OP may have to pay. I may be wrong.
    Also, the 10.8.4 update won't help as this is a hardware problem, but it's always good to keep OS X updated

    Bring your phone and $199 to the Apple store for an out of warranty exchange of your phone.  You clearly broke it when you dropped it.

  • My mac pro screen has vertical lines... How much does it cost to get it fixed?

    My mac pro screen has vertical lines... How much does it cost to get it fixed?

    When you fail to give information on the exact model MBP that you have, how do you expect anyone to provide you with any specific information?
    I suggest that you go to the iFixit.com and Powerbookmedic.com and look for parts and prices.  That naturally assumes that you know what parts are defective and need to be replaced.
    Ciao.

  • Screen has vertical lines

    hi i have IMAC 17" INTEL DUO 1.83GHZ AND SCREEN HAS VERTICAL LINES WHAT MODEL OF SCREEN I USED MY EMC # 2104 THX

    Replacements 17" displays are around $750 and refrubished ones are around $550.
    iMac Intel Core LCD Replacement Screens
    Not to get your hopes up to high, but Apple had and may still have an extended warranty program for the displays in those Early Intel models. So personally, I'd call Apple Support first and ask if they are still offering an extended warranty program?
    Apple - Support - iMac - Service FAQ
    Sadly, another thing about repairing those Early iMac's? Is that there is no way of knowing if the display is the only problem and it could cost you more to fix it, than just buying a brand new 21.5" iMac. 

  • My iphone 5 screen has been cracked. Black Screen. Constant beeping.

    My iphone 5 screen has been cracked for a few weeks but worked fine. Yesterday the screen went black but Siri still worked. When I plugged it in to charge, it started beeping as if i were constantly unplugging it then plugging it back in. At first the screen would light up even though it was black but now the screen wont light up at all. I ordered a new screen to replace it but now I am thinking that it is more than the screen. I plugged it in to my computer and it doesn't recognize it at all. Use the same cord to plug it back in to the wall and it starts beeping again. Could the screen cause all of this or is it a bigger problem? Please help!

    Agree with the comments of FelipeV the crux of the matter is that mpeterson329 abused his phone.
    Also agree with the below comment:

    Have you dismantled the iPhone in any way yet ?

  • Imac screen has colored lines running down the middle of the screen - time for a new imac?

    Is this a G5 iMac?

  • My screen has some lines going through it, it is the old model.

    My screen now has a line about 2 inches wide going across it. I have restarted it a couple of times to no avail. It has not fallen that I am aware of.

    Thank you for trying to help. I followed your advice but the lines are still there. I made an appointment to see the Apple tech. Appreciate your effort!!

  • My G5 screen has faint lines going across it??

    My G5 screen has faint diaginal lines going across it, but when I am on the internet it is crisp and none of the lines show up??? Has anyone else ran into this?

    Could be the first signs of either a failing video card, or a failing screen.  Try running the Apple Hardware Test that came with your install discs.

  • HT4097 Ipad screen has  moving lines on it and is unresponsive

    I have the 3rd generation Ipad with iOS 6 on it. I was using it yesterday when i closed my case, and left it for about 10 minuets. When i came back and opened my case, the screen was completley messed up! It has moving lines all over the screen that are a mixture of white, and grey. then it has an even darker moving pixel going across top top of my Ipad, about one inch from the top to be exact. the Ipad will lock and unlock using the top button, but thats all it does. The ipad will also not power off easily. The only thing close to it turing off was when i did a hard shut down and held the home button and the lock button at the same time, but after the screen turns off and i let go of the buttons, the ipad turns back on and goes back to the same lines everywhere.
    I purchased the ipad about 3 months ago and this is the first problem i have had. I have NEVER dropped it and the case i use is an Apple smart cover that uses a magnet to stay connected to the Ipad. I have also tried putting it in recovery mode and wiping my Ipad but have had no luck with any change. Please someone help me and figure out what i need to do.

    I hope someone can help as I have the same problem with my iPad!

  • Iphone 6 plus screen has vertices lines

    my iPhone 6 plus has not been dropped, had a case on it since day one. I noticed that it has lines on the right side of the screen going verticle. I'm able to get them to go away if I screen shot the phone but the picture won't show them. After I noticed this I also noticed that the part of the screen where the lines are stops working until I was able to find a way to make a phone call. Can anyone help!
    also I noticed that since the new update I am almost always on 3G when I used to be primarily on 4g lte. Any ideas?
    THanks for for the help.

    Take it to an Apple store or return it to the place you purchased it.
    The fact that the lines only show on the screen & not in screenshots viewed on other devices suggests that the display is faulty. It should still be under warranty, so take it to Apple. 
    Hopefully the original poster has already done this, simply waiting for help here is misguided - it looks a lot like the hardware has failed or is damaged. Apple may repair or replace it but only if you contact them.
    Good luck
