Strange, small 'crack-like' line underneath my glass?

Hello, as said in the title.. A strange almost reflective crack or line or something is underneath my iphone 3g glass. its not a crack or a scratch, or pocket fuzz. i've been searching online and in these forums for anyone who might have the same problem, but no luck. I have seen that people who visit the genius bar have been given replacement for non-spider web glass cracks, no charge, which I don't have. But would I just be told to go away because this isn't a 'crack'. Also, I bought the phone Aug. 22, I did not purchase the insurance, but I've heard that for the replacement I'm still covered under my year warranty? I could go get the insurance now if its necessary..
So this small line is on the top left corner of my phone just underneath the curve, I can see it because its over the black
Its really bothering me.. the phone has never been dropped, its kind of sad the things I do so that I don't drop it.

Alright.. so I never went to get my replacement since I had some serious 3G issues in my area at the time when I made this post. After numerous customer service calls they finally found a way to give me a stable signal in my area, and I didn't really want to go through all that trouble again at the time so I decided not to bother with replacing my phone because of this 'seal' problem..
anyway, I'd like to finally get it fixed, but its been quite some time since I purchased my iphone.. but its not as 'flawless' as it was originally, is that going to be a problem at customer service? If anyone thinks its going to be a hassle I might not even do it, please let me know.

  • There is a strange small gear like circle on the black screen of my ipod touch 3g

    The ipod is unresponsive, is fully charged and this strange circle (looks like a little gear) is in the center of the screen, I've never seen this before and I don't know what to do to fix it, does any one know why it did this or how to fix it?

    This is a problem. It has crashed. Try connecting to iTunes and restoring. If that doesn't work, contact Apple.
    Good luck.

  • Strange Dark Shaded Jagged Line From Inside Glass(on LCD)

    There is a strange jagged line showing up on the screen. It's not obtrusive, so I don't necessarily mind it, but the fact that from time to time I can notice it is bothering me. It's a lot harder to see when something really light or really dark colored is moved onto the spot it's at. It's not on the glass, it's under it, but the LCD doesn't show any normal sign of damage.
    Here is an image of it: http://i.imgur.com/QdFLX.jpg
    Any ideas or experiences?

    Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane and get it repaired. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine.

  • Small Black Vertical Lines follow my mouse pointer AND surround all ICONS

    Small Black Vertical Lines follow my mouse pointer AND surround all ICONS on my desktop. I just turned on my computer and it showed like this. I already tested my monitor and it's not the monitor.
    See a picture of my problem here on my me gallery:
    http://gallery.me.com/egarfias/100024
    Looking at websites, it's fine the display but any icons and my pointer and things that move have these lines following! Looking at VIDEO, it's the picture is full of white and black lines though you can see the video just fine.
    Any ideas? Thank you!!

    I am in Safe Mode now: This is the weirdest thing: A bit from column A AND B:
    The display is perfect EXCEPT for two parallel lines of 17, 3 millimeter-long black lines that follow the pointer everywhere it goes.
    Get this: my current display is 1024x768, but when I change it to 640x480, the pointer and everything is perfect! (of course, I can only see a fraction of my desktop)
    But then again... when I zoom in and out holding down control (in 640x480) the pointer lines appear again, but less lines. They disappear when I re-reset it to 640.
    Strange.
    But yeah, safe mode is NEAR perfect with the except of the cursor lines. I can screen grab my cursor though to show...

  • I just got my macbook pro 3 months ago, when i got it at the authorised dealer store i ask them to put on a screen protector and there's a small crack on my screen. what should i do?

    When it gets bad enough, you will need to replace the screen.
    Your warranty covers defects in material and workmanship.
    That sounds like accidental damage -- glass does not tend to crack spontaneously.
    Check your homeowners insurance to see if there might be coverage.

  • Strange small glyph in the middle of the screen when using LabVIEW 8.2.1

    I've started noticing a strange small glyph in the middle of the screen when I am using LabVIEW 8.2.1.
    Sometimes it is there, sometimes it isn't. Has anyone else seen this? Why is it there? Can I get rid of it?
    (Just in case you think I am going crazy from too much LabVIEW I'll include a screen capture of it...)
    Well that's it. I barely noticed it on my blue/ background picture. It seems to be there on my XP machine but not my Win2K machine.

    It's something from your video driver (If I recall correctly an NVIDIA).
    LabVIEW creates somewhere off-screen a window with  a size of 0,0. The driver detects this and as som sort of anti-spam moves it on-screen.

  • I bought an iPad 2 for Christmas and a small crack appeared near the middle of the screen, I put on a screen protector but it spread and now goes across entire screen, it is barely noticeable and everything works, what can I do to get it fixed.

    I bought an ipad2 for Christmas, a small crack started near middle of the screen, I put a screen protector on but it spread the length of the screen. It is barely noticeable and everything else is fine. What can I do to get it fixed? Is it under warentee? The store I bought it from said call the apple store. I called the apple store and they said bring it in but store is a 80 minute drive and they might fix it for at least $200 more. I described what happened and employee said that was impossible or basically I am a liar. Any thoughts out there? I just find it hard to believe that with all iPads sold none have had an imperfection with the glass. Mean it still works but why do I neen to pay hundreds of dollars to fix this?

    The technician apparently doesn't believe, or at least isn't sure, that the crack would have appeared without some sort of impact to the iPad. I have no way of knowing whether or not the crack in your device appeared spontaneously nor not, but what I believe really doesn't matter; it's what Apple believes, and if they believe that some damage occurred to the iPad, due to a drop, being hit, having something dropped on it, whatever, If you can't convince them that the crack occured spontaneously, then the problem will not be covered under warranty and you have to pay for the replacement. You can try going to the Apple Store, explaining the situation, and hope that the technician agrees that the problem wasn't due to user damage, but no one here can guarantee that. You'll just have to try.
    And yes, sometimes people do lie. I'm not saying that you did, but the Apple technician has I'm sure heard a number of lies from people in similar situations.
    Regards.

  • I don't know if this is a Firefox problem so I ask, When printing how come it always prints so small I nearly need a magnafing glass? Is this caused by something else I may have set incorrectly? help please, from a very satisfied Firefox user

    I don't know if this is a Firefox problem so I ask, When printing how come it always prints so small I nearly need a magnifying glass? Is this caused by something else I may have set incorrectly? help please, from a very satisfied Firefox user

    This only happens when I'm in my browser. Ex. when I'm on a site and I decide I like what I see and want to print it text that is, my printer always prints tiny. When I'm in Microsoft Word for ex. I print it and it looks like what I expect. So I don't know if somehow my printer got set to print tiny when on the web. If you can help me I would be most appreciative. Thanks again for your response.

  • Something underneath the glass

    I just recently got my macbook pro 15inch in the mail and I noticed right away a spec of dust underneath the screen, it does not seem to be a dead pixel because it is bright or black it is greyish like dust and I was wondering if there was any way of getting rid of this because if you spend 2000 dollars on a computer and plan on keeping it for a while you do not want dust underneath your glass. Please help.
    Thanks,
    Nate

    Same thing on my MacBook Pro 13", a big white dot of dust under the screen glass. And I can observe 2 or 3 other little dust. I try to change it with my Apple seller, but he think it's not so bad…

  • Barcode like lines behind the mouse, freezing and Imacs.

    Issue with an Imac 20".
    Not mine, sadly, a friend of mines. I say sadly as he hasn't bought applecare and can't afford it right now!
    I'd installed 10.5, and it kept not booting (with the sold blue screen appearing), then sometimes it would freeze with grey 'barcode' like lines and graphical distortion behind the mouse.
    So I reformatted it with 10.4 and the same thing happens, except without the freezing on startup.
    Apple hardware test comes up fine. So does techtool.
    No fault found.
    Any ideas? Literally he's at the end of his tether living with the issue.
    I've found other thread indicating in other machines it was graphics cards, but as I say, AHT comes up clean and, as far as we know you can't change an imac graphics card.

    If you start to use software to break that calibration, they may not work at all.
    I understand your viewpoint, and if my machine was in warranty or I'd remebered to get AppleCare in time the iMac would be off to Apple to sort out.
    It's out of warranty however, and from informal enquiries I've made at the local reseller repair costs would be ludicrously high so stuck with the option of a frequently crashing machine or one that can be improved by a free software solution the choice for many is clear.
    With the software I have a usable machine that can run for days without problems, without it will have issues within minutes to hours of startup. This may well be patching over cracks in the plaster with a component on the way out that'll make the whole thing keel over one day, but that's life.
    Interstingly, something that only dawned on me today is that the temps really don't seem that high - oculd the temp sensors actually be faulty and reading too low, preventing fan speed rising with significant thermal overload.

  • Small game like drag and drop

    i'm new to flash action scrip but i want to create small game like drag and drop. but this has special area to drop and after drop selected object ,then i want to change that object(replace object by another object) using mouse move(scrolling). here what i did up to now
    bold area is the specialy i want to know, please help....
    ball_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
    ball_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
    square_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
    square_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
    function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void
        event.target.startDrag(false);
        event.target.parent.addChild(event.target);
    function dropIt(event:MouseEvent):void
        event.target.stopDrag();
    ball_mc.buttonMode = true;
    square_mc.buttonMode = true;

    I don't know which line you intended be bold, but the following line makes little sense...
    event.target.parent.addChild(event.target);
    If the parent of the event target is the parent, then the event target is already the child of the parent.

  • Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch.  :(

    Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch. 

    There's generally no reason to be closing them that way at all. The apps you see in the recents bar are just that, apps that you used recently. Most of them are doing absolutely nothing. The only apps that are really doing anything in the background are ones that play music and ones that are using location services. Just leave them be.
    Best of luck.
