    Early 2009 iMac, Horizontal Shading & Lines

    I have an Early 2009 24” iMac (Model # A 1225, dual core Intel, running 10.6.8) and it still works great. But in the past few months it’s developed screen anomalies. First, a very thin white line appeared horizontally right above my (bottomed) dock. Then two more such lines, showed up, just...

    Intermittent lines on Screen

    Hi all, I have a 2013 Macbook Air that I recently took on a trip. I shoved it in a little and now, half the time when I open it up, I have lines in the middle of the screen. It can sometimes take 5 mins. or longer for the lines to disappear; I have to move the screen up and down, close and open...

    Glitchy Screen Issue has returned! (Early 2015 Retina MBP)

    If anyone could help me diagnose my Mum's Macbook Pro issue we'd both really appreciate it! Firstly here are some pics of the issue (had to take a video and pick out the frames as it happens too quickly to take a photo). Every now and again the screen looks like this for a split second then...

    iPhone X iPhone X Hairline Bleed of Bezels

    Haven't dropped it. Only had it a week. €1150. What's going on? Anyone else had this? Bezel has a hairline (looks like a hair too). Really apparent in a dark environment. Was fine for 6 days then this. Is this a production flaw?

    Bad ram slot? Ram error? Constant restarting... MBP mid-2012 13in

    I've been to the Genius Bar multiple times for this issue and their diagnosis was that something is wrong with my ram and I need a ram upgrade. I dropped new ram into it and the problem was not fixed. History: - MBP would randomly restart - frequency of restarts increased - occasionally the...

    iPad mini 4 screen with weird red smudge on screen

    Hi there, This question is more about curiosity than about finding a solution for it, since it's not giving me troubles-yet. I inherited a nice iPad mini 4 because of that screen issue. A friend of mine had this iPad mini for about a year and noticed a big red "line" (more like a bold finger...

    GPU Issue on New 2016 MacBook Pro

    Has anyone else experienced this very strange graphics issue with the new MacBook Pro 15" with touchbar? This happened when I was working in Adobe Premiere CC 2017. Upon reboot, the screen would then flicker almost as if it was a low refresh rate. I've included a photo of what the screen looks...

    Should I replace slightly screen-defective / hissing IUP Tmobile 256gb 7 Plus Matte?

    The phone is fine for the most part. I got it via IUP from 6s Plus. The hissing is there when it records video (much more prevalent than my bros matte 7+ 128gb), and the top right of the screen has some abnormality. It's like a black adhesive or tape or something that has ever so slightly gone...

    Odd iPhone 6 plus screen fault

    Hello, my daughter's iPhone has a weird screen failure. Of course, she didn't do anything, "it just happened". It doesn't look like water damage and I see no signs of a drop. Just the light leakage at the top and the odd diagonal lines from the top and bottom. They are not visible on a dark...

    My Mac Pro 3,1, A1186 EMC 2180 is displaying weird screen artifacts, and, although it chimes, it will not load OS X. It does not seem like it is advancing past apple EFI. My current Graphics Card is an nVIDIA GeForce 8800GT. I have pushed this card to the limit (mainly with rendering 1080p...
