Vertical lines as well as a chipped screen at the edge very small

hi guys . i was wondering if my iphone 5 which has white/grey vertical line going down the screen and the pixels have some inconsistency in colour as well as a cracked screen( small thin line across the edge) would be eligible for the iphone warranty. it is not water damage .i would like you opinions if i am able to get a replacement or not.

do you by chance know whats the cause of the line? example loose wire or dead pixels? because since the warranty is voided i was wondering if i could repair it.

Was on facebook and screen suddenly changed to very small print and fuzzy not clear, so I switched to another browser and it was ok on there

while scrolling thru my facebook page. The screen suddenly changed to very small print and blurred / fuzzy not clear. The whole page had changed the way it was showing. So I tried another browser and facebook page was working fine. Went back to firefox and still had issues.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

Red vertical line on left side of iPhone4 screen.

I have a thin, red vertical line on the left side of my iPhone screen that appears on a black or dark background. Anyone know what causes this and should I send my phone in for repair? I've had this phone for about 3 months. Thanks!

Hi Brent,
I took it to apple service center. They did some checks and found out that the display has gone bad and they replced it with new one.
Did you try connecting other display (may be Apple Display or Dell monitor) using an adapter? In my case the Apple service center people tried doing it and the display was appearing just fine without any green line. So the fault was in my MBP display.

Red Vertical line through my Mac Book Pro screen

There is RED line that comes about 10cm from the right of my macbook pro screen.... its a brand new macbook pro . Purchased last four month back .

Hi Ben,
It sounds like you have the same issue I had. Does your issue look like this?
http://henhowc.bol.ucla.edu/photo.jpg
Mine would go away by pushing the screen up and down. However, after a few months of this, the line pretty much stayed there all the time. I finally took mine into an Apple Store last Sunday and they weren't sure what the issue was. They noted that it was either related to the screen or the GPU or maybe even simply a faulty ribbon cable. They didn't do much testing outside of plugging my computer into an external monitor.
My MBP was sent away to a repair facility. They ended up replacing the LCD Panel (according to the work order). You might want to bring it in for someone to take a look at before the problem worsens.

Thin purple vertical line appears on my Mac Pro screen

A few days ago I started getting a thin purple line running vertically on my Mac Pro Screen. It comes and goes.

It is probably a hardware fault. Make and appointment with your Apple Store to have it checked.

When i open my computer I get the white screen with apple symbol and there are vertical lines all over the screen with green pixels and after a few minutes the screen gets grey and I get message to restart my computer what happens

3 years ago I bought an IMac Desktop that I am using for a lot of things but the most important for dvd montage in Imovies and Idvd.
Now today when I opened my computer I get as usual the white screen with the Apple symbol but there were all over the screen vertical lines with green pixels and after a while the screen gets grey and I get message to restart my computer using the power button or the restart button and when I do so each time the same is happening somebody can tell me what is happening and what caused this. This computer is my work and now I have no income anymore.
On the Apple support site they are asking to enter the serial number and when I do so I get message it is wrong but it is the only one I have and I buy this computer in Cairo Egypt. I am living in Hurghada in Egypt for the moment. When I call the technical support of the shop where I buy it they are telling me that it is the hard disk or ram and that I probably lost everything on it and they are asking a big amount to repair.
Can somebody advise me on this matter. Thanks in advance

You can find the serial number either in About this Mc in the Menu bar under the , or it should be on a sticker under the foot of the machine.
If you have the install discs, try booting from them, holding down the c key and then using Disk Utility to check the drive.
You can also boot into Safe mode
To start up into Safe Mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:
   1. Be sure the computer is shut down.
   2. Press the power button.
   3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
      Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
   4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During the startup in Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.9, you will see "Safe Boot" on the Mac OS X startup screen.
During the startup in Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login window, which appears even if you normally log in automatically.
Please post back with results,
To leave Safe Mode in any version of Mac OS X, restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.

Vertical lines through screen

I have 2 small gray vertical lines down my iphone6 screen and the screen and buttons in that area won't respond. Has anyone else had this problem and is there an easy fix?

Hello elaforce,
It seems your display has vertical lines and will not respond. Based on the information you have provided, it appears your iPhone needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

IMac stays on boot screen with thick vertical lines (formerly pixelated diagonal lines)

I bought my refurbished imac in the summer of 2008.
I've scoured the internet trying to find a definite answer to my issue.
I was playing a game a couple of nights ago, when my computer screen flashed a couple of times, then froze.
I restarted my computer only to have weird diagonal (pixelated) lines running across my boot screen... and it wouldn't display my desktop... although I think I could manipulate things on my desktop. It just stuck on the boot screen with the loading animation.
I tried Safe mode, PRAM reset, inserting install disc, holding down D, holding down C... all to no avail. Except now, rather than diagonal lines, they are THICK multi-colored (black from a distance) vertical lines.
Some sites say it could be the GPU... I have an nVidia GeForce 8800 GT (or GS?)
Or it could be the BGA, Logic Board, a bad GPU connection (i don't see this as an issue because the computer has been stationary), or the screen.
I'm about to open it up myself and find out because I don't live near an Apple store.
This is the third apple product within 1 year that has died on me (1. iPod touch, 2. Airport extreme)... as much as I don't want to, I think I might return to using PCs because I've had my fully functional PC for more than a decade without problems. Am I just unlucky?
Please HELP... I am a web designer/programmer and I am without my work computer.

If you mean the CPU, not likely. You can try the Apple Hardware Test if you like, but it's usually a waste of time. A negative result means nothing. You'd need some combination of specialized software, test equipment, and non-public engineering data from Apple.

Vertical lines of "numbers" and screen distortion upon waking from sleep

Hi,
I'm posting this for my friend who has a G5 iMac (the first model on the market, about a year and a half old).
Suddenly, he's having a bizarre problem with it. Intermittently, when he wakes the machine from sleep, either immediately, or after several minutes, the screen will go all "double" or fuzzy on him, and then vertical lines of what look like "numbers" (almost like the famous "Matrix" effect) appear on the screen. Only a hard, power button reset will fix it. He called AppleCare, and they had him zap the PRAM, which didn't fix it. Now they say that because the problem is intermittent, there's nothing they can do for now.
Any ideas???
Thanks,
Steve

Hi all,
Bouj here.. I must say I am amazed at the amount of conversation this post has generated ..
I wanted to put out a few questions for those of us with iMac G5's, really it's a symptom I have noticed with both of the G5's that failed ..
If enabled, does the feature in Power option to dim the screen work reliably ?
I looked back at when the problems with both machines started and it was soon after the dimming feature just stopped working ...even after PRAM, SMU and Open firmware resets didn't do the trick after a fresh install of OS X 10.4.x
Obviously this is a power feature controlled by the logic board and both of my machines had logic board failures ...
If anyone can post their experiences and if they have notices this it may help others or even provide a warning sign for others ...

VERTICAL LINES ON HALF OF SCREEN AND UNRESPONSIVE

I have a 6 plus 128 gb gray ATT and all of a sudden half of my screen had vertical line and was unresponsive I took screen shots bit it wouldn't show so I took pics and video from my wives iPhone 6 and also my iPhone restarts all of a sudden even in calls. I made an appointment with apple for tomorrow they better fix it!

Either the display is out or the board is going out. Either way book a genius bar appointment or walk into one to get on a waitlist. This will not be something you can fix on your own.

Anyone know what causes thin vertical lines on my iMac screen?

Anyone know what causes thin vertical lines to appear on my iMac screen?

Hello,
Have you blown the dust out lately?
Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12381/temperature-monitor
Take a screen shot & view that in Preview, move the Preview window around, if you see double lines it's a Video card/VRAM problem, if the lines do not move moving the pic around then it's the LCD or cable.

Vertical Lines!! Kernal Panics !!!! Please Help

Hi this is my first post to the forums. I thank you all in advance for answers. I have an IMAC 24'' 3.06 GHZ 4GB RAM that is displaying some weird characteristics. The first is the lines from left to right that are vertical. The first set is 4 lines then sets of 3. This is happening all across the screen. I have a W8 serial and saw something about defected computers is this true? I have the Applecare extended for 430+ more days and I already had a crash on the HD. Now I am having more problems. The lines worried me the most, but also I am receiving Kernal Panics. I can't even get the computer to load up. I spoke with Applecare over the phone and they referred me to the store. I got sent away twice before they finally got my computer in the store. I have now been to the store three times this week alone. Most importantly is the vertical line issue a permanent issue? I purchased the unit in July of 2008. I hope my unit is not defective. Now they are telling me they are going to replace the Logic Board as well as HD. They said this time it wasn't an HD issue but they are going to replace the HD to placate me since I have been there three times this week. The new HD is 640GB. Original is 500. If the HD is not bad are they truly accomodating me or is it deceptive practices to hide their constant issues with the CPU. I just want to find out why they are causing me to do all of this running around. I have spent over 5 hours on Phone with Applecare. I worry if this computer is going to be a recurring problem. Are the vertical lines symptoms of other issues down the road. My confidence is slowly eroding. I will give the full serial If that helps. Thanks!
Sincerely,
Adam('s Apple)

How do I get to Customer Relations?
Just call 1-800-275-2273 and asked to be transferred to ACR. CALMLY explain the situation to them and have all your case numbers ready. If you don't get satisfaction with the first call, call back and talk to another rep. I went through 3 of them one time, but Apple came through in the end to my satisfaction.

Mirror 2 Mirror--vertical lines during DVD player playback on Monitor 2

I have a gateway 22 inch and a RCA TV 40 inch. When I mirror to the RCA durring dvd playback i will see lines ONLY on the DVD window. It slowly scrolls. If i DO NOT mirror and just move the Player over from the gateway screen to the RCA screen, the Lines do not appear during playback. I want to mirror for my clients to see my VIDEO work on the Large TV..but it looks poor when I have slow moving vertical lines. How can I fix this? The vertical lines are ONLY in the DVD player window..the desktop part does not have the lines scrolling.

Well, I tried that on a section, and I'm afraid it may have been worse than I had originally. These are the settings in Compressor that I tried. Am I still getting something wrong?
