Strange lines on iPhone 4 screen

Basically, I grabbed my phone this morning and the screen was strange. Colour saturation was off, and it looked very low-resolution. Then a few moments later, a whole bunch of white and multi-coloured bars appeared on the screen. I can still operate the phone, only I have no visual representation of what I'm pressing; thus I'm going in blind. Looking to fix this issue as soon as possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards.

RESTART
To restart your iOS Device, first turn the device off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and device will turn off after a few moments.
Next, turn the device on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears and then let go of the button and wait for the device to turn back on.
Is the device not responding? To reset device, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the slider and let go of both buttons and wait for the device to restart. No data will be lost.
If nothing changes make an appointment at an Apple store and have the phone assessed

Interlacing/ Scan Lines on iPhone 4S Screen + Yellow tint!

Hi everyone I bought my 64gb IPhone last week and noticed that I have faint interlacing lines on my screen. My serial starts with c39 and I am extremely dissatisfied. I had my iPhone 4 replaced last year and the replacement had this issue as well. I am so sick of Apples qc lately. You can really notice the issue when the display is showing a light grey bg and also the iMovie and Facebook icons. Please respond if you are experiencing this issue. I also have the yellow tinted screen. What is going on Apple?

Transparent diagonal line on iPhone 6 screen after contact with water

I had recently dropped my phone in water on accident and now there's a transparent, diagonal line across the bottom right part of the screen. When the phone is off, I can't see the line but only when it's on. After a while, some of it starts to fade away but, it's never completely gone. I'm not too sure what I should do to fix this, could anyone help? I have an iPhone 6. Thanks and sorry, I'm new to this. I'm not sure what category to put this under

You really need to take it to the Apple Store and have them take a look at it. We cannot diagnose the extent of water damage that may or may not have been done over the internet....
Sorry,

Two white lines down Iphone 5 screen

I dropped my Iphone 6 months ago and cracked the top of the screen. I didn't get it repaired as phone was working as normal until two days ago whn I noticed two white vertical lines down my screen and the phone started playing up (going onto stuff I have not pressed). Is there any reason for this or any solutions?

If it's under warranty and hasn't been physically damaged, jailbroken, illegally unlocked, etc. They will replace it with an identical phone.

Flickering/Static Line on iphone 4 screen!

Hi guys
I was just after a bit of advice if I may...
I bought my brand new iphone 4 barely 2 weeks ago, a few mere hours after switching it on I have this flickering (horizontal) white line appearing on the same part of the screen, at first I thought it may be a fluke but it comes and goes during the day (every day!) Sometimes it flickers for a few seconds, other times it is static for a day/hours. I packaged my phone off to apple and received it back this morning (apparantly they could not diagnose the problem). Anyway low and behold an hour after turning it on this darn line re-appears then disappears etc...!!
Would it be worth me going to a genius bar to see what they can do for me? (I have video evidence on my ipod) Is it possible for me to get a replacement?
I'm really not sure what do for my next step?
Thanks in advance everyone - Geri.

Your warranty is for 1 year, so you are definitely covered by the first year warranty. The 90 days is just for free technical support.
Since this sounds like a hardware problem, you will need to contact Apple about it. If you have access to an Apple Store, make an appointment at the genius bar so you can show them the line. If not, call Apple and tell them you have a hardware problem and ask them if there is perhaps an AASP close to you who could have a look at it.
It is not too late to get 3 year Applecare--if you do, you will have not only a total of 3 years warranty, but 3 years of free tech support as well.
Good luck!

Thin blue line on Iphone 5 screen

Was wondering if anybody has any ideas as to why I would have a very thin blue line, running about three quarters of the way up my screen, about half a cm from the left. It's only noticable when the screen has a white background. Otherwise the phone is in perfect working order and is just over a year old. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Strange spot on iPhone 5s screen

Such spot appeared out of the blue. I tried rebooting iPhone but problem still persists. After 3h in turned off state spot seems to shrink, but i still want to know what causes it and is it dangerous to use my phone?

Looks like a pixel issue - hardware problem - probably not dangerous but I would take it to an Apple store if there is one within reach

Sporadic strange lines in my screen

It happens sometimes that strange lines appear in my screen for some miliseconds XD. It's a short time but it finishes being unconfortable.
I'm using xorg with xf86-video-intel, i've got direct rendering and i'm using the gnome desktop. Any idea?

i have the same problem. about a day after i got my ipod little lines appeared on the screen, when i have my ipod on it looks like i have little lines of water on the screen so it makes the pixles look messed up. i guess they must be sratches but i dont want a big protective case for my ipod. any suggestions?

Strange lines on my screen

Recently I have noticed strange lines appearing on the screen of my MacBook Pro - they appear and disappear randomly. I have noticed it especially on and around icons, as well as around the edges of Finder windows. Today it escalated to the point where I couldn't see anything on the screen (see attached screenshot). My computer is about 3 years old and I haven't had any problems with it.
I just recently upgraded to Mavericks - could this have anything to do with it? The problem started shortly thereafter.
Please help!!

Disabling "Automatic Graphics Switching" seems to work to resolve this problem.

I recently had my iphone 4s screen repaired because the screen was cracked. It was all ok and then a few weeks later something strange happened. My touchscreen works, but the screen doesnt show, you can see the light in the background but no picture?

The LCD Display connector has partially come loose from the logic board connector, and simply needs to be pressed back down into place. Or the front screen assembly is now faulty, and needs to be replaced again.

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches after installing new software or apps.
If this does not work, set it up as new device, explained here:

If still no luck, get it serviced by Apple or visit an Authorized Apple Service Provider next to your place and let them have a look at your device.
