Vision M 30GB started showing horizontal white lines over LCD

Everything was perfect since couple days ago. I have taken out my creative Zen Vision M 30G from its case then turned on and seen that all over the screen covered with horizontal white lines. Nothing has happened to the player. Not dropped or put it under heavy things or etc.
I resetted used recovery tool and re-install firmware but nothing had helped.
I am in Turkey right now but I have bought it from USA.
I contaced with Creative support and they do not want to do anything such as repair or replacement because I have had my player little over 3 years as of now (EOSL). But my player has used really gently it even has its original screen protector on it.
I did not cause this it was just happened out of nowhere...Lots of other comments and topics show that it is a some kind of harware mulfunction that the creative should stand behind.....
Any help or idea....

Strange horizontal white line

I just started up my G4 ( tower ) double mirror face and have come across the strangest thing. I have this 1 in long horizontal white line that follows just down and to the right of my cursor.It doesnt matter where I place the cursor the line follows.Running 10.3 and have never had this show up.

I agree with BDAqua!
If you run that test you might notice your VRAM Test Fail.
This usually means that your video card is dead and needs to be replaced.
If this is not the case, then I would make sure you are using correct/updated graphics drivers, as these artifacts near your cursor are usually directly related to your graphics card and/or drivers.
When something similar happened to my powermac G4 MDD about 4 years ago, I was able to find an ATI Radeon 9600 at Fry's Electronics that works on both PC/Mac. It only has 256MB VRAM, but I was able to throw a card in quickly and keep going!
Unfortunately, there seems to be little selection for a mac that old. You may have to search elsewhere for a compatible card now.
Please post your test results so that someone may help you further.

I am getting horizontal white lines one inch apart when I print an Ai file

I am getting horizontal white lines one inch apart when I print an Ai file

*White lines 1" apart showing up on my printouts*~
It is a NEW Epson 1430. However, I have horizontal thin white lines across my prints. (13x19in Paper) I've cleaned the heads, ran a test print, realigned and then reprinted - I keep getting the same white lines in exactly the same places.
I’m printing an AI file in Illustrator and the lines don't show up on my screen. Is there something wrong with the data? I am going to do more experiments to try and identify exactly what conditions cause this problem.
Thank you for your help!

Horizontal White Line Right Across Screen iPod Classic 120GB

I bought an Apple iPod Classic 120GB 14 months ago. I have looked after it very carefully (it hasn't even left the house) and only used it sparingly. Last week an annoying horizontal white line appeared right across the screen. I have tried all the recommended including resetting it.
Having trawled the internet forums and asked at my local Apple franchise dealer this seems to be a common fault with the screen hardware. I gather I can expect more line to appear over the next few weeks. I followed Apple's online repair procedure and once I ticked the box for 'screen problem' there is another drop down box with about 4 options. One of these refers to horizontal or vertical lines across the screen so Apple must be aware of this fault. At the next stage I was advised that I must pay approx £95 before the iPod could be repaired or replaced.
I subsequently phoned their Customer Services Department in India to ask why I was being charged so much for what was clearly a manufacturing fault and was told that they had no authority to offer discounts for repairs. Having asked to speak to someone who could help I was put through to Apple in Ireland.
The person I spoke to again repeated that Apple would only repair the iPod if I paid £95. He claimed it was a very rare problem but they were aware of it. I suggested that if this was true, surely they would want to replace or repair the iPod free of charge or at least for a reasonable price. The answer to this was no. I asked how long they expected iPods to last as 14 months did not seem very long. He said that he couldn't answer my question. I would have thought that it was reasonable to expect a life cycle of nearer 5 years for an high quality mp3 player. I feel that if an iPod fails after only 14 months it is hardly fit for purpose.
Has anyone else experienced this?

this is the exact same problem as mine (mine is classic 80GB) :[
it started happening out of nowhere, for no reason too. it happened 10 days ago, and ive had it for 2 years 3 months
in addition to the line across my screen, there are some scattered dots above it that move around everytime i turn off my ipod and turn it back on, which is really odd and at first funny but now just very sad.
please please tell me if you find a solution (minus the huge fix cost), and/or email me at [email protected]

Has anyone else has seen this problem with their iPod touch 5th Generation with iOS 7.0.4. My screen started making flashing white lines across the screen, then went dim, then pixeled with purples

The ipod will show flashing white lines across the screen, going down, it then does somthing where the screen will dim down but its not like when the backlight goes on and its about to lock. It dims the background of your ipod and the icons and letters kind of all look defined. Then the ipod gets all pixelized and it has big boxes on pixels and its all differnt colors like purples and greens, red, etc. then it turns right off and restarts itself less than 5 seconds later. These things happen really fast but when it does it's really weird. It first happened 3 times in a row, Its still continuing to happen but i can manually turn off my ipod by holding the lock button down and not even 30 seconds later it's like its possessed and it turns on by itself. I talked to somone on appel and they told me to back it up and restore it. I restored it and as soon as the process ended and tuirned on like a brand new ipod and like clockwork the glitch happened instantly. It did it a couple of times throughout the night and i kept having to watch it so i can keep turning it off manually because it continues to turn on by itself. I talked to 3 different people on Apple Support and they couldnt even find an answer for me. It's so weird.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Also,
If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

Horizontal white line across the Satellite A screen

Hi,
My computer screen has horizontal white line appeared across the screen recently. Computer is running perfectly normal but i don't know how to resolve this problem?
What could be the reason?

Im afraid it is due to defective display.
You can connect your notebook to external display to see if the same happen. if not it is the best evidence for my theory.

Rear Camera has horizontal white line across screen

Hi, I was given a playbook for Christmas and I love it but it has developed a horizontal white line on the rear camera which makes the camera and video unusable. I have customized my Playbook so am reluctant to take it back to the shop. Is there anything I can do to fix this or do I just accept that I'm not going to be able to use the rear camera or video? Hope you can help as in every other way my Playbook is perfect. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If a Playbook is to be sent for repair, especially with an RMA, it is important to back up data files by WiFi sharing as a desktop software backup may not work if the unit is replaced with a refurb or new unit.

The white line over the text in a title

how can I enlarge the white line over the text in a title to not have the text out of the frame when I want to add another line?

If you are speaking of the white bar upon which you are entering text in say a 'gradient edge' title, click title in the inspector window having the title selected. There you can change the width of the horizontal bar:
In the screenshot above I have used gradient edge title. The bar is of black color and you can change the color to white or any other color by tinkering with the controls in the inspector window [red oval]; you can also increase or decrease with the bar's width by changing its parameters within the 'yellow rectangle'; and, if you so need, you can push up or push down the bar by manipulating the bar vertical position tool located below the yellow rectangle.
Hope this helps. If the white line you have mentioned above is something other than the bar I have referred to, then let me know. Cheers. Have a great day.

White lines over text

ok well i get white lines over my text when i import my video to avi like this it kind of sucks

Kernal Panics are usually caused by hardware problems, frequently RAM or USB devices. Have you recently added any new hardware? When trying to troubleshoot problems, disconnect all external devices except your monitor, kbd & mouse. Do you experience the same problems?
Will it boot in Safe Mode? See

PDF displays as grey with a horizontal white line

I have a 4MB PDF of a family tree generated by MacFamilyTree. It is about 350 pages if printed. I can view it using Apple's Preview program and Firefox (24.0). However, if I try to view it using Acrobat Reader (11.0.04) all I get is a grey screen with a white horizontal line. I can use "Save as..." from Acrobat Reader and save a new PDF. The new PDF can be viewed just fine in Preview and Firefox, but NOT in Acrobat Reader.
Relatives on Windows XP and 7 have the same problem of not being able to view the PDF, seeing just a white page. Some can view it inside their web browsers; some cannot. Some can view it using Acrobat Reader (no idea which versions); some cannot, seeing the grey page with a white line.
I sent the PDF file to MacFamilyTree for help, but they said that the problem is with Acrobat Reader and no the PDF itself. Screen shots of the same file opened in Acrobat Reader (top) and Preview (zoomed in - bottom) are below. Any suggestions on how to get a PDF to display in Acrobat Reader?

In the Print Dialogue, choose "Save as AdobePDF" instead of "Save as PDF". Save as PDF saves as a Preview PDF which is why it works in Preview and in Firefox's PDFJS viewer (which ISN'T Adobe based)

Ipod touch 4G with horizontal white line

Hello, I have a brand new ipod touch 4G. Two days after getting it I was in the middle of looking at some apps and a white line across the screen appeared (horizontal line). I turned off the ipod several time with no change. After looking up what is may be I found it was most likely a bad pixel and there was nothing I could do. I called apple and set up a repair which was about as easy as it could be. The next morning when I got the pod out to take it to UPS, the line was gone. What the heck is going on?

Bad bits sometimes happens. If it recurrs try in order:
- Reset
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
If it still recurrs, then yu likely have a hardwre problem and return it to Apple for replacement.

Weird horizontal white lines going across the screen

I've had my nano 4g for around six months. When I first bought it, there was a single white line going across the top of the screen. It never really got in the way, so I didn't bother exchanging the ipod. Recently, another white line of pixels appeared lower on the screen. This line is there even while I reset it.
Besides replacing the screen or exchanging the iPod, is there anything that I can do to fix this?

It may (likely) be a video card issue. There is a "known issue" with certain iMacs made in a certain timeframe (2011-12 I think), and one of the telltale symptoms is vertical lines showing up on your display. Go to Apple's website (https://getsupport.apple.com/) to find out how to get support, then either call their service line (they usually pick right up) or take it into your nearest store's Genius Bar. They'll first check if your iMac's serial number is on the list of vulnerable machines, and then they'll have to do a diagnostic to prove that's the problem -- if your serial number's on the list and it fails the diagnostic, they'll replace the video card for free, even if you're not covered by AppleCare (and if you are, it's free regardless).
My iMac just had this problem, there were lines sometimes and just weird display issues other times. Eventually it just grayed out altogether and I couldn't use it. So it's likely your display problems will worsen if you don't get it looked at.
It took them about a week to ship the new video card over, install it, and return the iMac to me.
Good luck!

Display shows unknown "white line" via MBP retina

as title, when i turn off the "automatic GPU switching" for using the NVIDIA graphic power, and i try to switch the resolation from "best scale for retina" to "1920*1200" and quickly switch back and repeat for a few times, and the screen will shown a "white line" under the finder bar, then i turn back on the "automatic GPU switching" this "white line" will be gone. i belive its the GPU NVIDIA driver's error, please check forward for this problem, and also i will get support from the Apple store to find out the problem.

This worked for me:
Step 1: Delete system windowserver preferences
In the Finder, from the menu bar, select "Go -> Go to Folder..."
Enter: /Library/Preferences/
Delete the file called com.apple.windowserver.plist
Step 2: Delete user windowserver preferences
In the Finder, from the menu bar, select "Go -> Go to Folder..."
Enter: ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/
Delete all files that start with com.apple.windowserver (On my rMBP, there was one file called com.apple.windowserver.12AFB147-95D6-5C70-8F62-C1E4F2BE81BE)
Step 3: Reset the PRAM (These instructions are fromhttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379)
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Satellite P105-S6064: Colored vertical and horizontal white lines appearing on laptop screen.

Hello,
A few months ago, vertical lines started appearing on my laptop screen, the first was purple/green and they later increased in rapidly in number by the day and night and are about 70 currently. But today, white line apeared at once on the left side of the screen, covering upto three icons completely and they fade downwards (brighter/colourful at the top) and unlike the coloured, they appeared at once; and they also blink when the touchpad is touched as the display turns off (the power saver schedule/setting). I've been told about two weeks ago that the laptop was hit by something or fell and that I needed to start gathering some notes (money) to replace the screen. I'm not an expert and I don't know what to do please reply intelligently (helpfully).

You'd need to have it professionally serviced.
