Thick Blue Vertical Stripe

Has anyone experienced a thick (about an inch and a quarter) vertical blue stripe running from top to bottom on their macbook pro displays? I just started seeing this tonight. I'm normally hooked up to the LED Cinema Display, and I don't notice the problem on the cinema display, but rather only on the Macbook Pro display. The brightness of the blue stripe fades in and out, but never disappears. Anyone have any idea of what could be causing this type of malfunction?

It sounds like it could be a problem with the internal display. Since you are under warranty, you might call Apple or take it by an Apple Store if you have access to one. It could be a hardware problem.
Good luck!

  • I start the computer the screen has blue vertical stripes and says that the Adobe Air application can not be found. Some of my programs don't run and say: You: Error access violation at 0x0055F525

    I start the computer the screen has blue vertical stripes and says that the Adobe Air application can not be found. Some of my programs don't run and say:
    You: Error access violation at 0x0055F525. I reinstalled Adobe Air. No change. I went to the Adobe webside and they said to repair it with a program. I bought RegCure. Didn't change anything. What to do?

    Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
    This happens the same whenever I try to install.
    To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
    My plugin is still showing as out of date.
    Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

  • How can I remove the blue vertical stripe in Code View?

    I am using Dreamweaver CS5.5. When I open a document in Code View, there is a blue vertical stripe on the left of the document. This blue stripe bothers me when I try to concentrate on my work and I would like to remove it. Is there a way to do this? Is it a bug? Please help.
    Thank you!

    Funny - until you mentioned it, I had never noticed that it was even blue, and I'm in Code view 24x7!
    You can try turning on line numbers (VIEW | Code View Options > Line Numbers) - at least that will put something else in that vertical bar that is useful.

    Hi there met_fan,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

  • Vertical stripes on Droid X

    OK so my phone has been problem-free so far but at times when I look at the screen there seems to be some vertical stripes on the phone, sort of like blue in color. I must mention I don't see any other irregularities with my screen, no dead pixels or anything like that, is this normal? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

    OK so I took a look at the screen problems and my screen looks nothing like those. The ones I saw were extreme cases, I really think I don't have a screen problem... I just had that question because I rarely seldom see it and wanted to see if someone knew what I was talking about, they sort of look like this ---------------- but vertical and blueish and hardly noticeable. Any other thoughts?

  • IMAC 2" wide white vertical stripe middle screen, what to do?

    my older iMAC has 2" wide white vertical stripe middle screen, it started out as single red line, what to do?

    I don't know if this will "fix" your problem but:
    As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
    You are now in a perfect position to do a
    SMC RESET

    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.

    Hello, I downloaded an ntfs systemfile from tuxera and used it to convert a usb stick so I could put more than the fat32 4gb on, my Imac froze a while after so I turned it off the on and now I have blue vertical lines on boot up and the a white screen with lots of tine blue symbols after, mouse pointer moves but thats about it.

    It's likely that the boot drive is failing, or that there's some other hardware fault. Run the Apple Hardware Test.

    Even if the test is negative, you should make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested more thoroughly.

  • Vertical stripes after latest Security Update 2008-004 for OS X Tiger

    Hi there,
    I'm experiencing vertical stripes and color issues on my PB G4 17 inch screen after the security update 2008-004.
    Funny thing is, a screenshot looks fine.
    I already resetted PRAM and NVRAM. Didn't help.
    Does anyone know a solution?
    Thanks,
    Phil

    It's probably got nothing to do with the upgrade.
    I guess your computer is about 15-20 months old and the serial number starts with W84 or W85.
    This is obviously a common problem among these serial numbers, and it starts after about 15 months.
    I've got a mint PBG4 17, that's NEVER left the house. Just turned it in on AppleCare repair (32 days left, phew) for this problem.
    This number series is assembled in Shanghai in 2005.

  • I have 4 vertical stripes across the entire height of my monitor. Do I have to buy a new imac? e

    I have 4 vertical stripes across the entire height of my monitor, the stripes are there even before I log on. My 17" imac is 6 years old. Do I have to buy a new computer?

    Frequent problem on 2006 17" imac!
    Most of the time, it's a defective LCD panel.
    To validate if it is the LCD panel or the graphic card, you can take a screen shot (cmd+Shift+3) and see if the problem is visible on the screen shot.
    If it is not visible, then it's most likely the LCD panel.
    This can be confirmed by connecting an external display to your iMac.
    If it works well, then it's the LCD panel that is defective.
    Does it look like this?

  • MacBook Air: Vertical Stripe in Display

    hi,
    my late 2010 macbook air suddenly displays a vertical stripe.
    i realise, that when i take a screenshot, that stripe is not present.
    i have the latest version of MacOS, no pending updates. i also cleaned the screen with iKlear apple polish - still the same result.
    anz ideas what the problem might be?

    Yes, I am using the MBA 2013 with haswel processor. What's your hardware?
    Mine is i7 processor , 8gb ram and 256 SSD.
    Look, I decided to buy Macs , because it was said that they were working properly for a long long time. After buying the latest iMac 27iches(late 2012) and the new MBA(mid 2013) the thing I have to say is that OS X is full of bugs and of course I am not here to debug Apple's software.The other thing I have to admit is that Macs tend to get hardware damages , especially on their displays, very very very very very very easily.
    I got one replacement for an iMac with heavy image persistence and with my second unit I also had a ghosting issue some days ago.
    With my MBA I got two replacement , that is the third unit I got and Apple still knows nothing about my issue.
    Ok, I decided to pay for a very premium price, at least the machines should really work perfectly. And these facts are admitted by someone , whose house looks like an Apple Store with so many Apple's products that I have bought.
    So , the best thing you can  do now is to give your feedback directly to Apple. Apple will not spend time to fix bugs which only a few customers experience. They will only release a fix , if it is a major concern , which may drop their sales worldwidely. Of course, if you think it is a hardware issue the best you can do is to ask for a replacement. I know this is inconvenient, but it is the only way to ensure that the machine you bought will worth the money you spent for it.
