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.

    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.

  • 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

  • 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.

    king,
    If your Powerbook's serial number (do not post it here) starts with "W8" then the vertical lines are mostly likely due to a defect in the display itself. W8 is a factory code and, during the iMac G5 and PowerBook G4 timespan, that factory shipped thousands of units with the same defect. It cannot be fixed via software.
    As all PowerBooks are now classed as "obsolete," an Apple Store will not work on it. They will look at it ands tell you it has vertical lines and that they cannot fix it. This Apple article shows Apple devices they curently considered obsolete:
    Vintage and obsolete products - Apple Support
    It is possible that some Apple Authorized Service Providers (AASP) will still work on older computes but they cannot get neededparts from Apple. As this issue was so pervassive, it wil be hard for you or an AASP to find a used/pulled display that is not effected with the "W8 Curse."
    Although I love the old PowerBooks, I would not even spent the money for disks, much less the US$150-400 it would cost to replace the display, even should one be available.
    If you give us a rough idea of where you are in the world, we can suggest repair shops specializing in fixing older Mac notebooks, but be aware those resources may be rather scare outside North America.

  • My macbookpro 15" screen has vertical blue lines

    Hello,
    I have a Macbook Pro 15" (mid 2010) 2.53GHz Interl Core i5 running OSX Lion 10.7.4.
    Generally the computer and screen are in good condition and have had no damage.
    The screen has Vertical blue lines and there is a tint of blue generally. The startup apple grey screen however is perfect, it is only when it enters the login screen that the lines appear. All the colours are off. Other than these lines the computer works perfectly 
    The computer was used yesterday (09 June 2012) without a problem for approx 1hour. It was then left for the day indoors on a desk out of direct sunlight. The computer was switched on later that evening and the problem started to appear
    I have already tried to reset the PRAM and SMC with no affect.
    I also read that it may be a cable problem, however as the startup screen works perfectly i question this.
    Please can you help!
    Thanks in advance,
    Alex.

    I suggest you take it to an Apple store genius bar or a repair facility for evaluation.  This is most likely a hardware problem.
    Ciao.

  • IMac won't go past apple logo screen and vertical lines on display

    I have an old white iMac that won't boot. When booting up the screen has vertical purple lines and I can see the Apple logo. The little "dial" just spins and spins. Does anyone know how to fix this? thank you for any and all help.

    The vertical lines are indicative of a hardware problem. It is possible (likely) that this is also related to the inability to start up as well. It's almost impossible to diagnose and explain repairing hardware in these forums, so I think it best if you take the computer to a repair shop that is familiar with Macintoshes.

  • IPhone went bad after software update - iPhone 5 is now stuck on Itunes connect and has vertical lines

    iPhone went bad after software update - iPhone 5 is now stuck on Itunes connect and has vertical lines.
    I found a video on youtube with similar issues - http://youtu.be/Xuuqxx18-bA
    EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TRIED: Restore, Reboot, Recycle, Replacing Cables, etc....
    I don't have Apple Care, what to do? Spend more money and buy a new phone?

    Here is another person who has a problem with the iPhone 5 screen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc1ZPWSA8dc and they have just received them NEW!!!!!
    I myself, two days ago purchased a  2nd hand iPhone 5 that was advertised as having a line of squares at the bottom of the screen. I Googled it and found people saying it was a screen issue and to replace the screen, so I did this and it is still happening with a new screen.
    I am starting to dislike Apple intensely after reading forum posts and watching videos where people are asking for help and telling us about issues that they are having with their phones.
    Why is Apple getting it so wrong with their updates and manufacturing that they are completely destroying iPhones that cost a lot of money and then expecting the owner to purchase another phone unless they are still in warranty.
    Apple you should be going out of your way to put things right for people but instead there is a wall of silence over so many of the issues destroying peoples phones.
    SHAME ON YOU!

  • TS3824 My 2006 iMac has vertical lines that wont disappear - can this be fixed?

    My 2006 model iMac has vertical lines on the monitor that won't go away and are growing more all the time. Can this be fixed? I was told about the iMac Graphics Firmware Update but it doesn't work on my model - seems to be from 2011 models. Any suggestions?

    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.

    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.

  • IMac 17" has vertical lines of multi colors

    Just bought a iMac 17" and it has vertical lines of multi colors. What are the causes, how can I troubleshoot the source and what is the most cost effective way to fix?

    Since the last 17" iMac was discontinued in 2007, it's unlikely that it's still under warranty, unless you managed to get Applecare with it.
    I had the same problem. The local Mac repair place, Dino computers in Pasadena, said that what it needs is a replacement display, but that alone costs $500, plus installation, so it isn't really worth it to fix.
    But I found a website call realmacmods.com, which offers a kit just for this purpose. Not for the layperson however. You can get a kit for about $50 and supply your own 17inch display, or you can buy a display plus adapter board for $150. I talked to Dino and they said they could install it for me for about $120. I decided to get some Mac tools and try it myself. The vendor recommends you have some laptop repair experience, which I don't have, but I have opened up desktop computers before, and that helped. Anyway, it worked. And, you get a higher resolution display: 1900 x 1200, formerly 1440 x 900. It looks great. But again, not for the layperson.
