Thick black line through iPad 1- will screen replacement work?

There is a 2 inch black line through the width of my iPad 1. iPad is out if warranty and apple genius told me the only fix would be to buy another one. Could I fix this issue through replacing the LCD screen? Any suggestions would help.

Might. Might not. Could be part of the backlight is bad. Could be the equivalent of the graphics card is bad.
Dunno how much your screen replacement is but you may want to weigh that cost against it not working and you paying and still not having a functioning device.

Does this only happen on specific pages?

HT4061 Black line on iPad screen

Black line on iPad screen?

I have an Ipad 1 gen bought in 2010. Doing some research I think there is a connection between date bought and the screens. Thick striped, black white or colored but Apple are refusing to acknowledge. If I can get enough people I will take this further if I can! Please join me on Facebook @Apple Ipad screen issues Thanks!

Black line on Ipad!

Im using my friends ipad and before i knew it, there was black horizantal thick black line on it. Is something wrong? I tried a hard reset, and updating but nothing will work. The screen itself works and everything there is just a big black line. What do i do? D;

Me too. It is a band of black and colored lines running vertical in landscape and horizontal in portrait about two inches wide. It's cover over all apps and all the time. Reboot, restore is no help but touch function works fine across the stripes. The screen capture from the iPad1 does not appear the band of black and colored lines. It shows a normal screen. The answer when asked at the Genius Bar is, they never seen this problem before. And the solution that fix the problem may be expensive. But when searching on Google with the keyword "iPad half screen black" it's return 64,800,000 results. Some user comment that the video display hardware on the system board has been damaged. It's possible something has been dislodged or come loose. But, again, why this happened to many many users in the same period? In most cases the iPad never drop. It's happened immediately with no sign of warning. There are no ways to fix it right now. The iPad1 is just 2 years released. Is it too early to replace with the iPad3?

C309g Scanned files are saved as thick black lines and thin white lines

Hi there,
I am able to scan the documents and see them briefly in the HPScan software but once I have saved them (.pdf or .jpeg) and tried to open them in any application, all I get is a file that consists of thick black lines spaced out with thin white lines. Therefore whatever I scan is useless as it cannot be viewed in any way.
I am running Mac OSX Mavericks and have run all the updates and installed the latest drivers. Originally I was unable to save anything but after perfroming the updates I was able to save the scans but it triggered the black and white lines. The printer is connected to a network via Ethernet.
I tried scanning a blank white page but the output file is the same with the black and white lines.
Please help.

Black lines through .pdf images

I'm using Word 2007 and Adobe Pro X. The figures I insert into my Word file are .pdf's that have been converted to .tiff or .png files. When I create a .pdf directly from my Word file, my figures end up with thick black lines running through them. If I just go to file > print > Adobe pdf, then my images print fine. The only problem with that though is my Table of Contents isn't automatically bookmarked. Any ideas why my figures are messed up when creating my .pdf directly from Word? Any solutions?

Hi ,
Bookmarking is not a feature for Printing a file by Adobe printer , it just produces a flat PDF ,so you wont get bookmarks through that route.
I didn't quite get your issue . Are the images inserted into your word file .tiff and .png or any other format ? Can you please share a word file which contains such images ?
Thanks,
Apoorv

Just bought a cannon eos 70d and every picture I take has black lines through it....?

Is this a settings issue or is there something wrong w the camera....? Any help appreciated. Ta

Welcome, Rachel. Can you post one or two examples of pictures with black lines through them? That might help us figure out what's wrong.
One quick thing to try - format your memory card inside the camera and see if that helps. Yellow wrench menu #1, last item, and press SET. WARNING! This will erase all pictures on your card, so if there are important pictures on there, copy them to your computer first.

How do I eliminate text with black lines through the words

I am using Firefox 14.0.1 on Linux Ubuntu 11.04.
I am getting black lines through the text on some web sites. Mostly Google. How do I eliminate the lines.

A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. You can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.

Why does my web page, created on iWeb, look correct on Safari but has thick black lines all over it in Firefox?

Why does my web page, created on iWeb, look correct on Safari but has thick black lines all over it in Firefox?

What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand? I assume those black lines are around photos or objects that have had a frame or drop shadow added to it, right? If so that's a known issue.
There's a workaround for that in this tutorial: #7 - Converting Photos w/Frames, Drop Shadows and/or Reflections into a Single Image File. That should get rid of those black lines/boxes.

Line through iPad 1 screen??

I have an iPad 1 at home, and a couple months ago, I had it in my laptop sleeve with the case on it, and I had books in the regular part, I was thinking my iPad was fine, but when I took it out it had lines going across the screen, and I tried restoring it and I did not work at all. It still has the lines through it, So I believe it is a hardware issue. What could be the problem?

It is possibly stress cracks going thorugh your screen because of the amount of weight you put on it.

IPad 3 - black line down left-side of screen

My new iPad has dark thin line down left-side of screen.
Any ideas why this appears?
Screen appears fine apart from this line.

take it to your local apple store and have them take a look at it. You probably want to make an appointment first.

How to fix black horizantal black lines on 2010macbook pro 17' screen?

Hi everyone!
I come to the community for help after looking everywhere on the internet. I've had a problem now with my computer for a while where these strange black lines (always horizontal in nature) appear on my screen. I have two pictures below:
http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/hh521/violentfirebomb/blacklines02_zps5de5cc 51.jpg
http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/hh521/violentfirebomb/blacklines01_zpsfe260c 8d.jpg
These black lines will appear out of no where and they won't go away unless I select whatever is there and move my mouse. If it's across some font, I can select the font and easily go over the black line and it'll disappear.
Also, the more permanent things is random drop shadows from open windows won't work or the shadow won't work in places. Sometimes the font below a folder or above an icon on my dock will just be gone, like a chunk of it missing the size of those black lines you see in pictures above.
Is it something I can fix? Should I take it into the genius bar? My computer is a 17' Macbook Pro from 2010 and I'll be honest, this never happened until I upgraded to Mountain Lion. I even reinstalled Mountain Lion but the black lines and random text as well as drop shadow disappearances have returned.
Let me know what everyone thinks! I'd like to solve this mystery as quickly as I can! Thanks in advance.

When you have problems with the display, there are usually three possibilities: The wire connection is faulty, the display is faulty or the GPU is having problems. All are are hardware issues that cannot be solved by software and generally do not fall into the do it yourself category.

Black line through dock

Hey,
Basically i've just realised that sometimes when im on my computer, theres a thin black line going straight through the dock horizontally..
It's very thin and doesnt affect me opening any programmes, but its just annoying really..
I tried taking a screen shot but it didn't show up on the picture..
An odd one.. hopefully some of you mac geniuses have an idea
Cheers,

Its only sometimes though, and doesn't appear to be a monitor fault.. surely if it was a monitor fault it would be random pixels? This seems to be a perfect horizontal line across the lower screen.. Being a student i cant really afford to take my monitor into be serviced incase there's nothing wrong with it..

Black line on my ipod video screen

hey im having problems with the screen of my ipod video, it has a black line in the middle of it and it is very strange, i stays when i try to see videos.

I posted this response to you in another thread that you mentioned this in. Out of curiosity, if this began months ago why didn't you contact Apple about it? At that time it probably would have been a little more feasible to believe that it was something that randomnly occured rather than some sort or "human" caused screen damage.
Sounds like your screen sustained some sort of damage (similar to what would happen if your LCD screen cracked). This could have happened in different ways. If you carry it in your pocket or in a bag/purse and something heavy put pressure on it...the screen itself may not have any physical cracks. You can try and see if Apple will cover that under warranty but I wouldn't hold my breath. It doesn't seem like something that would easily occur by itself like a product defect. How long have you had your iPod and when did this occur?
