Probably a failure of the LCD panel. You can check this by plugging in an external monitor. If the white stripe isn't there, it's the panel.

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

- 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.

Sometimes my iMac starts with white lettering across the screen on a black ground and after switching off for a few seconds starts on ok ! Any ideas

Sometimes my iMac starts up with white lettering acrossthe screen on a black background - when it's switched off for a few seconds it starts up ok. Can anyone tell me why this happens ?

I have read on here that a PRAM reset can cure this problem:
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.

Colored and white lines across iPad screen

Ok so I got home from work and I pulled my iPad out of my laptop bag and I noticed that when I turn it on there are like these colored lines and also this big white bar across the screen. Why are those things there?

My son bought the original ipad in November 2010, it is now only a few weeks out of warranty. He turned it on tonight and as other people have mentioned on this forum the ipad now has coloured lines across the screen. I called customer services and I must say i am extrememly disappointed with the response I got. They offered me a replacement for £260..... no other explanation other than it may be a hardware problem. After paying £600 for the original ipad only just over a year ago I would expect better from Apple. Myself, my husband and my three children all have iphones and other apple products but I must say if this is the support you get then I would consider other options in the future. Very disappointing....... If anyone else other than a customer service agent who reads from a script can help then please get in touch. Thanks

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.

My mac screen comes out with white fuzzy lines going across the screen, it used to just go back to normal and out of no where it freezes and the white fuzzy lines go across the screen. Now it is frozen at the opening screen. what do i do?

My mac screen is frozen with white fuzzy lines going across the screen. I shut it off and turn it back on but it still remains white fish lines on the start up screen. I've tried revolting it, it works sometimes but now its stuck at the starting screen. I have been at this for 2 hours to try and fix it but nothing has changed about the screen. What do I do, if I break this computer I'm screwed.

I would post a picture of the screen but I do not know how to do that

Satellite P10: white and purple clouds fading across the screen when booting

I had been having problems with my SP-10 laptop so I bought a new hard drive (Fujitsu 60GB instead of standard 40GB) and fitted it myself. I was working fine with this for a long time until suddenly I had the strangest problem I have ever seen on a computer...
Sometimes, when booting the laptop, instead of the normal red "TOSHIBA" screen and the Windows XP startup message, the laptop simply shows some weird white and purple clouds fading across the screen, eventually fading to a very dark but not quite black screen.
I thought to begin with it was a problem with the DVD drive, as when it finally gave in and booted normally, the DVD drive was disabled. However, I have noticed in the BIOS, under "Advanced" that the InfraRed Port shows intermittently - it shows with the [Disabled] setting next to it, but will then disappear from the listing, then reappear again, and then go again and so on.
Sometimes my computer will be operating normally, then completely lock up (mouse and all) and will reboot with the clouds!
I have looked in the Windows Event Viewer for when the notebook has locked up and have seen something to do with an IRQ problem for the Infrared Port. I disabled the InfraRed port in Device Manager (I managed to enable it in the BIOS by loading standard BIOS settings) and restarted, but it started up with the clouds again, so I have a feeling the InfraRed port is the culprit - perhaps faulty hardware/loose connection as it is located quite close to the DVD drive and HD drive.
I was just wondering if anyone has ever seen anything like this before on ANY computer, and if they knew how to resolve it? It seems completely illogical that a faulty IR port could alter what is displayed on the screen at bootup, unless of course there is something wrong with the boot sector of my HD?
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Tom

Well I can assure you my laptop has an InfraRed Port on it - I used to use it with my mobile phone for various things but don't bother now.
Good idea about attaching another monitor - hadn't thought of that. I will see what I can come up with.
I simply don't understand how anything except the display driver could be causing this, unless of course, another piece of hardware is conflicting with the display driver. But then why would it be intermittent and not constant? Anyway, I don't seem to have had the problem since I disabled the IR port (except the first time I disabled it) so here's hoping it's fixed.
Will definitely try attaching another display though. Good thinking.
Thanks,
Tom

Why are there white bars across the top of my iPhone 5 screen?

I have a brand new iphone 5 (not 5S) which has white bars across the top of the screen. The bars are quite faint at first, if the screen has been locked for a while but they get brighter while you use the phone. The bars overlap and obscure the time and battery symbols but you can still see through them with effort. I have tried turning it off and on again but this has not helped. It may have happened after the phone was updated to the latest version (iOS 7.1.2). this was required so I could transfer my old phone's information from a backup. Has anyone experienced this issue or know the cause of it?

Hi Ererer, I am sorry to hear that you are having that problem with characters showing up at the top of your screen. I had a similar problem so I understand how frustrating it can be. This problem has been linked to some antivirus software. Could you tell me what kind you use? I have also found an easy solution to this. When they appear simply drag the window from its maximized state down. It will no longer take up the full screen and the characters will be gone and everything will be back to normal. If you want it maximized again simply drag it back. I hope this helps.

Recently dropped iPhone 5 and now I have white boxes across the top of the screen.

Recently dropped my phone. Now I have white boxes across the top of the screen...does anyone know if this can be fixed?

Take it to an Apple Retail Store Genius Bar likely will be replaced but user damage voids the warranty
You could try reset and then if required a restore, worth trying but if no change then Out of Warranty exchange in US $229

Issues with lines across the screen, as well as freezing

Issues with lines across the screen, as well as freezing
Hello all
Got an iMac since January 2008 and I do like it a lot, even though it has some issues:
-- It displays (quite often) lines partially across the screen
-- Lines appear as well when opening applications or when menus come up
-- The system freezes more than I like to admit (more than my Windows/Ubuntu box)
I don't know if the freezing has to do with the lines that are shown on my screen. But I assume that both issues relate to some video card problem. I can't be sure - but that's what I assume from living with this issue day to day.
The line on the desktop (most of the time it is there before login) I can always get rid of by changing the display resolution to something else and then changing it back. Normally the line is gone, or, reappears on a different spot on the desktop. But repeating the procedure removes the line.
However, this does not mean that the lines are not showing up again when launching apps or displaying menus!
And since those lines appear to happen randomly, I think it's safe to assume that we're not talking dead pixels here, either...
About the freezing:
My iMac freezes sometimes when I move the mouse around, when switching desktops using "spaces" or when the zoom function of the Dock kicks in. Sometimes the screen goes completely black, sometimes completely white. The mouse, however, always works. But the system requires a reboot.
Again, this happens too often to feel comfy about it.
With my little knowledge of Mac troubleshooting I assume that there's something wrong with the ATI card that's built into my Mac. On the other hand, some people say that they started getting similar issues after updating their OS to Leopard. Again other people say that such issues stem from an ATI revision that is too old and the Mac should get a new ATI card. And how would that work? Isn't that an "all-in-one" machine with everything soldered onto the mainboard?
So, any help in this matter is greatly appreciated...
Cheers,
Rainer

Here are a few screen photos I've taken (not screenshots, as the lines are not visible when taking screenshots. I used my digicam to snap those...).
Here's the link to those screen photos displaying some of the many lines I keep having:
