The graphics on my iq504 are grainy (pink lines every other pixel)

ive had 3 different iq504 touchscreen PCs and each one of them did this the first one the problem just went away after a while but this on ( the third replacement) has had the pink lines in it for over 3 months and after messing with it the whole screen started wigging out. the comp works fine you just cant see whats going on on the screen. has anyone had this problem?
i go to electronics school at WTI (great school) and even those guys couldnt find a way to fix the pink lines. they did fix the screen wigging out (imagine trying to watch pay per view that is still scrambled) but the graphics are still diced up by vertical pink lines.
HP wants $300.00 for me to send it to them to find out what the problem is and then i have to pay for what ever it takes to fix it.
no way!!!!!
the instructor who teaches students how to put computers together couldnt find the video card (in the comp or on the internet) so i dont know what else to try it seens like a settings or refresh rate problem but theres no option besides 60Hz so i cant change it to find out
if anyone knows where i can go to find hwlp i would really appreciate it.
p.s. solid colors arent effected buy the pink lines but even the mouse arrow has the lines in it as well as every picture or movie

I am around 4 IQ50x models and none of them have shown vertical pink lines. Generally, large bands of pink going across an all white screen indicates CCD failure in the backlight
Your instructor could not find the video card in your TouchSmart because it does not have one. The video hardware is integrated into the motherboard.
The LCD panel is designed to work at 60Hz and you should not change it... as you might compound the problem.
THe notive displau resolution for this model is Resolution 1680 x 1050 @ 60Hz. If it is not set to this resolution, please do so and let us know if the pink lines go away.
You mention the lines do not appear over solid colors... Do they appear on the initial HP logo screen? The Bios Setup Utility? The boot Recovery Screens (press F11 repeatedly at startup but cancel if you don't want to fully recover your software). If the lines do not appear  is there any sort of video control software that you have added to each TouchSmart.. some common software that you installed onto each one.

Please post rather than send me a Message. It's good for the community and I might not be able to get back quickly. - Thank you.

  • On XP, and FF 5.0.1, but NONE of the graphics on ANY website are visible. Even the ICONS are empty. Please help!

    This came about since the newest version of Yahoo mail is acting oddly in IE8. It works fine in Mozilla, EXCEPT for the graphics problem. And if I go to any other websites (not just yahoo), they all have similar problems.

  • What are these pink lines??

    I work on a (New) MacPro with 32GB mem. The first few productions i did was not a prblem at all. Since I use the Atomos Ninja Blade these pink lines apear every few seconds. When I export with 2 pass vbr bitrate encoding they disappear but it pretty annoying to work with. Does anybody have a clue?

    Are you using MPE in hardware accelerated mode?  There's a mega-thread about this problem; a known issue with OS X 10.9.3 (and maybe .2), solved in the beta for 10.9.4.  Read up.  If it's the same issue, you'll want to disable hardware acceleration for the time being until OS X 10.9.4 is finally released.  Or, you could sign up for the OS X beta.

  • Weird problems with motion 3 displaying pink lines and other garbage

    I am using Motion3 to create HD graphics. With each of my projects I start with motion everything is fine until I build about 4 different layers or add any type of motion or filters.
    It seems as my projects get more complex my viewer window or canvas starts displaying weird things. Pink lines, white and black garbage, nasty thin lines, various other junk. Sometimes the image is completely gone.
    I have had some luck retrieving it by turning off motion blur or turning of field rendering and turning it back on. This fix only works sometimes.
    Other times my video displays fine until I render out and then the garbage happens.
    Anyone come across this?
    I am currently using a an ati radeon 9600 video card and it's running two monitors on dvi and one vga. I have ordered an nvidia 7800 gs in hopes it will fix this problem and ease the pain of render times.
    I have been using motion 2 for a while and never had this issue. I was hoping to milk this system for a while before having to upgrade.
    Any thoughts or suggestions?

    I think you are pushing that card to it's limit with HD and splitting the VRAM across two monitors. I would bet a new card will clear things up.

  • E-edition freezes up with 1A.pdf The max. number of files are already open no other files can be opened or printed until some are closed , showing four of five and computer froze any I must close by shutting down manually.

    My online E-Edition newspaper will freeze up after loading the front page and gives me the message that the max. number of files are already open and no other files can be printed or opened until some are closed. 1A.pdf. When you click ok it repeats itself and you have to force shutdown by holding off button. I'm totally stumped.

    I have read that "1000" is default maximum for Acrobat 4 or Acrobat 5 (I don't remmember it exactly anymore). Concerning my PC and RAM. I have a high-end graphical computer at my office; so I'm sure the RAM memory is not the reason.
    Anyway, thanks for answer.

  • Can I put the Graphics card from one of my Asus laptops into another?

    I have an Asus U56E and I want to put the graphics card from my Asus G51V into it, and I've scoured the internet and even called the geek squad to no avail, no one seems to be able to answer my question. If anyone could help it would be appreciated. 

    Generally with laptops you cannot remove/replace the graphics chips because they are integrated into the main board and are not a seperate component that can be swapped out. Some of the really high end laptops are starting to use modular cards but I do not believe that will be the case with your laptops. You may want to contact Asus for a more definate answer.

  • Do I need to tell Lightroom to use the Graphics Card in my new laptop?

    HI!
    I have a new laptop and have successfully transferred my pics, catalogue and LR settings across. 
    It has better specs than my last one, including a decent (I think!) dedicated graphics card.  I have always had integrated graphics before so am not sure how this works.  Do I need to tell applications, such as Lightroom, to use the graphics card, or will this be automatically be done by the software/operating system?  If I do need to do anything, is this in each software (like Lightroom), the computer settings, or in some third party control software?
    Thanks for your thoughts.

    Thanks for that.  That seems a shame, although hopefully the increased CPU will help it run more smoothly anyway.
    Do you know off hand whether I would need to do anything for other programs with regards to the graphics card or is everything automated?
    thanks again

  • I just opened iWeb for the first time in several months and the fonts have changed and are garbled in the headers.  Is this a result of switching to Lion, and does this mean I have to go through all 70 pages on my site and manually change them back?

    The text on my pages are messed up.  The letters in my headers are on top of each other and the letters in the body of my pages have no separation between them.  Is this a result of switching to Lion?  (I haven't opened iWeb in several months, since before I installed Lion.)  Any ideas of how to fix this, or do I need to go text block by text block and page by page to put it back right?  Thanks.

    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For opening your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • How do you stop photoshop from flickering when the graphics processing mode is set to basic? (Using windows 8)

    I am using Photoshop CC (2014) and I can not get the screen to stop flickering even when I set the graphics processing drawing mode to basic ( which is what other people have suggested to do). I am using windows 8.

  • When I export an indesign document the graphics are missing from the eps file.

    When I export an indesign document the graphics are missing from the eps file.

    The why it isn't working can be a number of reasons. While I never have exported an EPS out of ID before, I just tried it and it worked fine.
    What "graphics" are missing? I used bitmaps, native drawn ID vector, lines and a placed EPS file. Came into AI as an opened EPS fine.
    Links up to date? For items not hitting the EPS, are they on a layer set to non-printing?
    In the export dialog,General tab, PostScript Level 3? Data format set to ASCII? On the Advanced tab, Send Data set to All? OPI off?

  • Are methods in the Graphics class Thread Safe

    Can methods from the Graphics class (.e.g. drawImage(), drawString(), ect..) be called from any thread? In other words, can two threads that refer to the same Graphics object step on each other methods calls?
    TIA,
    DB
    Edited by: Darth_Bane on Apr 27, 2009 1:44 PM

    No,
    They are GUI activities so you should call them from the Swing Thread ( Event Disptach Thread)
    Now for the JComponent the following are thread safe:
    repaint(), revalidate, invalidate which can be called from any thread.
    Also the listener list can be modified from any thread addListenerXX or removeListenerXX where XX is ListenerType

    When I print pictures from my IMAC to my Hp C8180 they are grainy, even when I select the Best Quality- Why can't I get good quality printing from Imac ?  Use the same printer with a PC and printed the same picture files-  they are printed with high quality-  Why can't the IMAC do the same?

    Does this involve iPhoto for the Mac?
