White stripe on screen

There is a 1 1/4-inch wide white bar/strip/stripe running from top to bottom in the middle of the screen. Is there any way of fixing this?

This same thing happened to mine on June 17th. I took it in for repair and it needs a new LCD display. Total cost, $449. I was told the 4 year old computer isn't worth it. I'm searching these discussions to find out if I could by a used computer for the parts.

Black spot and white stripe across screen

Okay well it's my brothers ipod, and I have no idea what the heck he did to it. But he left it on his dresser and woke up with the black spot and white stripe across the screen. After reading one of the posts, is it possibily moisture or water? But I have no idea how the black blotch thingy got there. Any ideas on what it is? And how I can fix it?

My iPod touch screen went fuzzy with pink and white stripes

Hello! I really appreciate if anyone would tell me what's wrong with my iPod touch.
I have been using my iPod touch for less than a year, and honestly, I have quite a bad habit: I always use it for playing games. And sometimes, I even use it while it is charging. Usually it's fine, nothing went wrong, so I keep doing the same thing sometimes.
one day, I'm visiting my relative and tried to charge my iPod. Since my iPod doesn't have an adaptor, I usually charge it using my laptop (the seller told me to charge it in a laptop/computer). One day, I borrowed my cousin's laptop to charge my iPod, but she only gave me an adaptor (not made for iPod or any apple products, but it fits so I thought it's okay). But the next day, I found out that my iPod went off by itself and I know that my battery isn't low.
I Tried to charge it using my laptop at home, but it still went off! Also, it went normal in my laptop (the iTunes appeared automatically, as a sign that my iPod is charging). So, I tried to restore it and I worked (at least I thought so), until I saw my screen went fuzzy (pink and white stripes). So, almost everyday I turn off my iPod, turn it on again, wait for a while, then use it normally. Usually it lasts 'normal' for hours, but it will still be error as usual.
So, my question is:
What makes my iPod touch screen went fuzzy?
Is it because I used it while charging?
Is it because I charged it with an adaptor that is not made for Apple products?
please help me, I don't know what else to do! I have restored it, I didn't download many applications like I used to before, and I left it alone when I was charging (I didn't play it while it's charging any more), and I even didn't turn on the Wi-Fi if I'm not using it (I almost NEVER turn off the Wi-Fi before my iPod touch went error)
Thank you for answering..

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.

Try resetting your phone, hold the home and sleep/wake button down until the apple symbol comes up, then release. If that doesnt work, you may have damaged your phone and need to take it to an apple genius bar.

White stripe down MBA screen?

I sat down to update the MBA to 10.5.6 yesterday and rebooted before I started (never hurts) - while on some of the splash screens (before login) there appeared a flickering white stripe down the display about an inch wide, just to the left of center. Looked to me like a set of vertical pixel drivers stuck in the ON state. Went away before the login, and didn't come back during the update, but happened again in the auto reboot after the update.
I tried searching the forum, but didn't see anything like this, although there were some posts about thin white stripes. Am I having a unique problem, or is this something already known about? I'm sure I would have heard from my wife, the normal user, if that had happened during regular use, so maybe it's a boot up issue?
Thanks!

It show the uniformity of the display best if the display is showing with 50% gray. If you have a faint stripe on the display, it might show up. Just create a jpeg file that only contains 50% gray, and use preview to do a slideshow at full screen. If you can't see anything, your MBA should be fine.

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

Creative Zen Vision:M 30gb LCD Broken (full of white stripes) (picture includ

Hi.
So I bought my player around christmas, so it has only been used for about a month. At that time it's been on a everyday use and it has been used to watch high quality videos daily.
So about an hour ago I took it from my jacket's (inside) pocket (I keep it there while I move because it's a loose pocket and doesnt apply that much pressure to the player as it would get in jeans' pockets.
I put it on and to my surprise the lcd screen had white lines all over it. This really seemed weird, mainly because of it's short lifespan which it has been on my hands, it hasn't received any kind of a beating from dropping it or something like that.

(There's a creative promotional video playing. The white sharp-like thing about in the middle is a wave hitting the shore)
I already sent an email to the shop where I purchased it telling the story and asking that what is my options at this stage.

What do you think?Message Edited by MKujap on 0-24-200702:34 AM

Hi.
So I sent an email to the store and they replied that they replace the ones which have those kind of white stripes all over the screen (every second pixel is working and every second is all white) but not the ones where the glass has broke and the fluids have come out.
I went to the store and the guy in there said that they wouldnt replace it as there was a small crack on the right lower corner of the screen and that the fluids have come out from there. You can see that little crack on the picture and there is only little (and I mean) little fluid come out of the crack. I didn't even noticed that there was any of the fluids on the screen, it just seems to be a little crack, nothing more.
I wonder if the standard year warranty applies for this situation? (see the photos on the first post)

[SOLVED] xfce+slim, suspend to RAM causes black and white strips

I recently installed a fresh copy of Arch. When I click the "suspend to RAM" xfce button the screen turns off as it should, but when I try to resume I see 5 columns of black and white stripes (like a flattened checkerboard ). Alternatively when I click the "suspend to disk" (hibernate) button the screen turns black but the backlight is still on, the only way to get out of this state is to do a force shutdown with the button.
I don't know if this is just an xfce problem, or if slim is also part of the problem, but it doesn't hurt to let you guys know about that as well.
Reading about this problem somewhere else as a probably graphics driver issue, here's my graphics card:
NVIDIA Corporation G72M [Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300] (rev a1)
and I installed the Nvidia nouveau driver from here. I didn't see anything on that page about this kind of issue.
I also tried to add "ck-launch-session dbus-launch" to my .xinitrc file, I knew it probably wasn't the solution but I wanted to try anyways. didn't work.
I also have 2 gigs of RAM and 3 gigs in swap partition.
What do you guys think?

I have a slight newbie question that's related to my problem: after installing pm-utils am I supposed to have a file /etc/pm/config.d/modules? I reread the docs on suspend and standby here and the instructions are implying I should already have such a file, (since they say to modify it rather than create it), but I've installed and reinstalled the pm-utils and don't have any file there.
It's kind of important too, since i'm thinking I should put my graphics driver as one of those suspended modules...
Edit: one more interesting tid bit, when I use "pm-suspend" in the tty command line (by disabling the slim service and never going to xfce) I suspend fine. I need to have root privileges but I can just use sudo. (this is another reason why it could be a graphics card issue or I guess a privileges issue, hmm)
Edit2: I just tried to login as root from slim and hitting the suspend button, but got the same issue. So it's likely not a privileges issue. Strange.

White stripes in exported JPEGs

Dear Friends,
I use Windows XP SP 2, Indesign CS 2 (Vers. 4.0.5).
I use the Indesign in-built jpeg export function very often because I need the output for some flash presentation (flash book).
But the output is sometimes distorted with white stripes.
I really hate this - because I can see these white stripes also when I work in Indesign with High Quality View Mode.
To eliminate them I need to scroll the distorted page out of the screen and scroll it into back again.
Then there aren't any white stripes on the screen or in the resulting jpeg-Output of this page.
But for 100 or more pages this "solution" is not practical.
There are workarounds like Apple- or Javascript Indesign-Macros for exporting all pages as PDFs and then converting them back to JPEG in Adobe Photoshop, for example. But the Indesign export-to-jpeg function is very simple, easy, straight-forward and fast. But these white stripes must go away.
Is there an update for Indesign CS 2 to eliminate this problem?
What is the reason for this really annoying problem?
I thank you very much for your help and support!
With best Regards

Well - but when the exported JPEG has to be small - then Photoshop rasters the fonts very unreadable. - Indesign is better in rastering the fonts when it is exporting the stuff directly as JPEG-Files. The font is much more readable then.
Btw.: Is there a way to setup the font-rasterizer of Adobe Photoshop to improve readability of rasterized fonts?
Thank you for your help and support!
With best regards
