White line down screen

I have a satellite P105-S6124. A one inch vertical white line is on screen. What causes this and can it be repaired? Its always there and never goes away.

Probably a defect in the screen. You can verify that by using an external monitor and seeing if it gets a white line down the screen too. If it doesn't, you've got a bad screen or possibly the video cable. Screens are expensive. Hopefully the computer is still under warranty.

Thin vertical colored line down screen of 21 inch mac version 10.6.8

I have a thin line down screen, green at top and bottom and purple through middle.

Hello,
common enough problem.
Take a screen shot & view that in Preview, move the Preview window around, if you see 2 green lines it a Video card/VRAM problem, if the line does not move moving the pic around then it's the LCD or the internal cable.

White line down middle of document

Need help. I have a white line down the middle of all documents, whether from computer or scanner on our MF2727nf. We have replaced cartridge and still have the problem.
Any help will be appreciated.

Removing and re-installing iTunes won't do any good as it does not pertain to the iPod in any way. If none of the 5 R's of troubleshooting helped, we can definitely say that it is a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display.

Sometimes it helps to let the battery fully drain and then redoing the 5 R's.

HT1430 I have 4 white lines down right hand side of phone I cannot use any icons under the lines

My I phone 5 has 4 white lines down right hand side I cannot use the icons under it. Can anyone help?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
As long as the issue is not the result of user damage (like being dropped) it should be covered under warranty. Only Apple can say for certain whether it is covered or not.

Trying to export M2V, getting an annoying white line down side...

Hey guys, looking been looking for solutions to this but to no avail...
Trying to compress a prores 1920x1080 422 hq clip into an m2v for burning. Problem is whenever I touch the frame controls, I seem to get a freaking annoying white line down the right hand side of my vid.
If I turn the frame controls off, it works, but I want them on because the image quality is far superior with it one.
Here's the settings I had:
Another really annoying thing is that I did an experiment, I opened the prores in QT player, exported for web/computer/h264 and brought that into compressor, rendered it out. No white line. But H264 looks like utter crud.
Any ideas?? This is so infuriating. Thanks so much

A line (usually a green line) down the right side of a video usually means a size mismatch that the codec can't deal with. What is the final size the video shows, m2v?
Set Details Level to zero and turn off Active Details. Details Level and Anti-alias are used when up-sizing a video.
You may need to do the re-sizing before going to m2v. Resize using ProRes (4444 is an over kill) and use that to make your m2v. And use better as Russ has pointed out. The best setting will yield about 10% in quality over better. You will not see that 10% gain in quality in the final video. Especially since your going to m2v for the final video. When you use frame control to convert a video to m2v. Frame control has be read during each (2) pass adding to the time to the encoding. Personaly, if I need to use frame control to make a DVD (or h.264), I make a intermediate video... PreRes, and use that to make my DVD or h.264 video.
Lastly, if this doesn't fix the white line you may need to crop off 1 or 2 pixel lines (right or left) from the video. You won't see this in the final video.
I have had to do this.
Food for thought... If your making DVDs from 1080 video footage or having to resize the video regularly for DVDs or h.264 encoding. You can use the 'NEW JOB WITH TARGET OUT PUT' option in *Compressor. This will make a ProRes intermediate video with the size changes (you need set the new size). After that has be encoded it will automatically convert that ProRes video to m2v.
You can either do this at night (sleep time) or do something else while this is being executed.
Old video showing how to use this option. It will also tell you why you wouldn't want to use frame control when making an h.264 (m2v) video:

*If your using Compressor 3.5... the second encoding (MPEG-2 in the above example) you will need to set the size in the geometry widow. Compressor 3.5 leaves this blank (a bug), this was fixed in Compressor 4.

Two white lines down Iphone 5 screen

I dropped my Iphone 6 months ago and cracked the top of the screen. I didn't get it repaired as phone was working as normal until two days ago whn I noticed two white vertical lines down my screen and the phone started playing up (going onto stuff I have not pressed). Is there any reason for this or any solutions?

If it's under warranty and hasn't been physically damaged, jailbroken, illegally unlocked, etc. They will replace it with an identical phone.

Horizontal black and white lines on screen

I accidentally dropped my iPhone on my macbook track pad. It was about a 6" drop, nothing huge. But when the phone hit the laptop, the macbook screen immediately went to horizontal black and white lines. It reminded me of static on a tv. The lines lasted for about 30 seconds and then the laptop shut down and restarted itself.
Should I be checking the hard drive or anything?

" But when the phone hit the laptop, the macbook screen immediately went to horizontal black and white lines. It reminded me of static on a tv. The lines lasted for about 30 seconds and then the laptop shut down and restarted itself."
How's it been running since then? Possibly you hit it hard enough to put a voltage transient through the machine.
Hopefully the logic board wasn't damaged but do what Oglethorpe says and have Apple run an ASD on it.

Blue line down screen center

So I'm sitting on my computer at the kitchen table, and my T60 suddenly develops a thin blue line down the center of the screen. At first it only sporadically appears, but now it hasn't gone away for a couple days. The thin blue line is right smack down the center - it doesn't really show up when you're working with something a white background like Microsoft Word, it only shows up on a colored background like pictures, video, etc. Any idea what the problem is here and how I can fix it?
My laptop is still under warranty and isn't that old and I take good care of it so I don't expect that the screen is seriously messed up. I'm hoping I just need to reset something.
Also, lately (last month or two?) my laptop has been getting a bit hotter than usual, especially when it's working a little harder, like if I play a video etc. The fan can get quite loud. Would this be at all related?

It is most likely a connection or cable problem. Do you have an external monitor that you can check this problem on? To see whether the same appears on the external monitor, if that is the case, then your GPU is probably the culprit.
Your laptop is running hot, probably due to dusts clogging your heat exhaust, so you would need to take off your keyboard and palmrest, and give a good clean with some compressed air.

White line in screen display

I got my 80GB ipod classic for Christmas. It has worked fine, but now it has a white line through the screen. It is annoying and makes watching videos a problem. Can anyone help? I don't want to send the ipod to Apple.

Well, you could try these steps: The Five Rs.
But it's more likely your iPod needs service.
Service request.
Or you could take it into an Apple store and have them take a look at your iPod.

White line on screen

White line at bottom of screen
Close up of part of it
About a month ago I noticed a white line across the bottom of my screen. Not exactly sure when it first appeared, as I have had a light coloured background and only saw it when i watched a DVD.
I have reset the PRAM, etc but it has had no effect.
It doesn't look like stuck pixels, as they aren't all completely white. Around the time of me noticing it, I hadn't taken my laptop out of my room for a while (I do occasionally take it home/work, and thought it might have been damaged in my bag or something).
I have apple care and hopefully they will be able to repair it under that, but any suggestions in the meantime woudl be much appreciated. (have to wait until the end of this month until i can get to an apple store).
It's not a major problem, just irritating!

hi, it looks like we're in the same boat!
Iv'e had my nano since october and 4 days ago I turned it on and white lines were staggered throughout the screen blocking most of the wording and song titles underneath. And I didn't drop it or anything! I suggest calling APPLE support. From what my friends told me, there was a recall on the nanos awhile back due to screen problems and they should replace it for you. I still need to call them myself.
Good Luck with the problems!

Red line down screen

My monitor has a red line down the middle of the screen. Does anyone know why this is happening? Sometimes, depending on the background color, the line is green (on lighter backgrounds), otherwise it is red.

I have the EXACT same problem and also bought my iMac in Dec 2011. Thankfully I have AppleCare. I called support; had to back up the machine and take it in to an Apple Store for a new monitor and a new video card. They didn't seem to be all THAT horrified at the problem so perhaps it was a bad batch of monitors in that run of manufacturing.
Anyway, I'm using my MacBook for now and they expect the iMac to be fixed ready in 3-5 days.
