IPad 4 :: Screen Flickering - Vertical And Horizontal Black Lines
Aug 15, 2013
Having issues with screen flickering and black lines? Today when I put the iPad down flat with the keyboard onscreen and it flickered rapidly until I touched the screen to make the keyboard disappear. This happened in the Ebay app. Last night when I was in Safari scrolling there were horizontal and vertical black lines that created a box area that would move with my scrolling down the page.
This started happening 3 weeks after purchasing this expensive device. Did a restore today. Will see what happens. Is this a software or hardware issue?
IPad Mini :: Screen Shows Vertical And Horizontal Colored Lines?
Jun 3, 2014
My 2 year old daughter got a hold of my ipad and dropped it on the ground... it was dropped on carpet and only about 1 1/2 feet from the ground. the ipad was in a case so I dont understand how that impact could have caused my ipad to freak out like it is.
I tried turning it on, and the lcd screen showed thick black and grey bars vertically, and horizontally colored fuzzy lines. I tried restarting, i tried rebooting, i tried restoring and nothing worked.
I saw a similar thread and have read about people just hitting it on the back, and it would restore to its normality. I even tried this but I didnt have the same luck.. Usually theres videos on how to fix problems like these that involve opening up the device and fixing a loose wire or something but I am having no luck finding an actual solution, and since its not under warranty, at this point opening it up and trying to fix it is something worth trying.
This happened this morning but I have noticed that in the last couple of hours or so, i can turn my ipad on and it will look just fine as if nothing had ever happened and i can use it with no problem, but then i press the sleep/wake button, and then if i turn it on again immediately, the bars and lines will show again.
My ipad 2 suddenly has flickering horizontal lines on the display. I don't believe it has been dropped but it could have been. Is this a terminal problem is it possible to fix?
Black Screen With Horizontal (holding Upwright) Coloured Lines
Nov 10, 2010
My friend was on Netflix on his iPad and then all of a sudden the screen froze. He tried restoring it to it's factory settings and the same thing occurs. He claims he's tried everything, except actually opening it up. He's tried hard restarting and then restoring to factory default and backup via iTunes.It's odd cause he can shut it off with power off button. And the coloured lines disappear. Secondly, the multitouch functions are still there. For example, if you turn it on and drag your finger on the bar to unlock it, it actually works and you can hear the clicking. It's just impossible to tell which stuff we are actually pressing on. He thinks it might be a loose connection with the graphics are something. He doesn't believe water got in the iPad, as it's always in a case that protects it from such happenings.
IPad 2 Screen Sometimes Doesn't Want To Auto-rotate From Vertical To Horizontal?
Sep 12, 2011
My iPad 2 screen sometimes doesn't want to auto rotate from vertical to horizontal. No, the little side switch is not in the lock position, also not in the settings menu. Have to hard reboot my iPad to correct this, then works for only a little while.
Recently my ipad stopped shifting the view when I turn it - it stays vertical always. And this makes a # of things harder (e.g. surfing the web, watching movies).
I recently plugged my iPad in to charge. About an hour later, I unplugged the iPad and went to use it. When I turn the screen on there are small vertical lines dancing all over the screen. I can barely make out my background behind these lines. It looks like the touch screen is fine, however I cant see my desktop because of the lines.
IPad 1 :: Display Shows Only One Third - Horizontal Distorted Lines On Rest Of Screen
Jul 26, 2014
I have recently reactivated my iPad 1, but after booting it I saw that it's screen only shows about one third from the right, the rest shows the content in horizontal distorted lines.
Do I need a new LCD or is it the main board driving it?
I already restored it with the latest iOS and charged it fully. The touch still works, even on the distorted part. When I turn off the screen and turn it on again, the distorted part is black at first (see first attachment) and then slowly shows the horizontal lines getting brighter (see second attachment).
I replaced the glass panel on a iPad 3g. My new touch glass works perfectly. But the problem is, my lcd screen gives this outcome twitpic.com/371tos It only shows horizontal lines, even when i turn the screen, it will show them in the same direction.
IPad 3 :: Flickering Screen - Thick Black Line On Right Side
Aug 5, 2012
Just got a brand new IPad 3 just under a month ago from Amazon. Today when I was reading a book in iBooks there appeared a thick black line though the right hand side of the page. This got worse until the entire page was black as one progressed through the book. I turned off the device and later observed that the screen was flickering. This device is not jailbroken, has not been dropped and is usually in a leather case. My older Ipad 2 had no such problems.
I have only been using my new iPad for a few hours and a vertical thin black line has appeared on the screen. I presume I have a defective iPad and need a replacement. Is that correct?
I am a recent iPad user and bought mine a few weeks ago. About two weeks ago the screen on my iPad started going wild with coloured and black lined jumping and popping all over the place like some kind of weird noise you sometimes got on the telly back in the day. I waited for a few seconds and it stopped. Now today it started doing the same only the lines were black and white and thin. Again I waited and it ceased. I only dropped it once and it was in my handbag which cushioned the fall and it has been behaving perfectly normally since.Could it be the leather cover I got? It has this magnetic clasp which locks the screen when I shut it. Could that interfere with the screen's work or something?
I have bought the apple iPad Air for my son recently. There is dark black lines on bottom and now in middle appearing. It is slowly slowly increasing rest all functions are working properly. Along with dark black lines there are few coloured lines appeared on bottom as well
IPad :: Dropped - Black And Green Lines On Screen?
Jun 27, 2014
I tried slapping it on it's back harder and harder, but it only made it worse! The top half is black and green with lines. Slapping it spread it and now whenever I close an app or do something, it stays with the green lines and I have to slap it for it to catch up to the screen I'm at.
IPad 3 :: LCD Video Screen Has 1 Inch Black With Two White Lines
Jun 11, 2013
I replaced my digitizer screen, my Ipad 3 powers up and I have access to applications. Now the Video LCD screen has a one inch white block with a black strip in the middle. The white and black block out is in the middle of screen and is displayed landscape and in vertical position. Is there any software or settings fix for this problem other than replacing the LCD video screen?

I have some problems with my 1 month old iPad Mini Retina Screen. Was using the iPad Mini normally and suddenly there is this black lines that appear below the screen. I have attached a photo of the iPad booting up.

When I connect it with my iMac, iPad is recognized, starts the backing up process, but screen is still black with colored lines.
