I thought it was finally over. I really thought I could get over this issue once and for all! At the office, the person sitting by my side has an iMac. Yes, it's that kind of iMac! S.N. starting with W86*... It had 4 lines running across the monitor, all four on the left side. Ever since i joined that office i warned the problem would get worse and vertical lines would pop as time went by. Today

Screen & lines are no longer an issue on my iMac. I had it repaired years ago and the problem never came back. But lately this same mac has been acting strange. As i pressed the space bar to trigger Quick View on a video on my desktop, the computer violently shut down. I couldn't solve it by my own as there was no key combinations during startup (as there was no startup at all, no noise, no

Merry Christmas & Best Wishes for a Happy New Year Many years have passed since W860 iMacs were born. Lately the blog's been receiving comments that Apple is no longer repairing this screen issue. Dave said: Im based in Dublin, Ireland. My iMac has 2 vertical blue lines and 1 yellow. Like the last poster I was also told the program to fix this problem ended in May 2011. I waited over

It's wonderful to hear all your success stories on the comments! I'm sorry I don't usually answer to your questions left on the comments. The answer is this blog itself. The "iMac early 2006" is almost 5 years old now and it seems it's easier now to have it fixed than it was before. That's my only message to those still with lines, Call Apple Now!! And happy holidays to you all!

So i guess everybody heard the story about the lost iPhone prototype, right?http://gizmodo.com/5520471/the-tale-of-apples-next-iphoneWell, i'm reading today on the comments how some use their early 2006 iMacs JUST for playing internet radio and music.Don't you think what you paid is worth more? Well, lucky you as well as those, there are also happy iMac owners who got their computers fixed FOR

I see beautiful wallpapers!Call Apple, forget once and for all about the vertical lines! Make sure it’s a free repair. You should not have to pay for it since it’s factory defect and not your fault at all.

It’s been a long time since my last post! But I read all the comments and have responded to some of them. What’s my global message? That’s right, to call Apple. I’m very happy most of you got your iMacs repaired at no cost. Do all out there read this? Most of you got your iMacs repaired at no cost! Those who couldn’t were either complicated cases or people who didn’t insist enough.I recently

I have a 17" imac purchased in August 2006. About December 2007, when my imac was out of warranty, i started getting vertical lines of various colors. Today I have about 100 lines on my monitor. I have read the blogs and know Apple will do nothing to correct their malfunction and will continue to pack their stores with customers with fancy marketing strategies and some really neat gadgetry.

Boy that was strange! Ok, so I phoned Apple. And no, I'm not writing on my usual desk today. After a pointless chat with a lady from Support, I called again, said my magic number W860...U2N, explained the problem very shallow and heard over the phone 'I think I have read about the lines issue somewhere, can you hold on plese?When 'Save it for a rainy day' was over, she was back to tell me my mac

I used to be against the idea of having a second screen. Basically because it meant as if i was giving up. Forty-two lines later, it is really annoying to see through them, so i got for my birthday a 21'' acer screen.So, how does a 21'' screen compare to fixing my iMac?acer screen costed around 120€, it has two years of warranty and zero dead pixel policy.iMac bought through apple store comes

As quoted from a comment on the previous post. iMac user dperetti informs via hardmac.com (Le Macbidouille in english) through these two links (link1) (link2):[...] about a legal procedure launched by one of our readers [...] He had two iMacs, both affected by the famous problem of vertical lines that affected many readers [...] The judgement was given yesterday. Apple was condemned to refund

(...) right now my only wish is for the lines to come to follow the pattern.15th line on May 3rd (1 day)16th line on May 11th (8 days)17th line on May 15th (4 days).Farewell, average. The last lines have appeared quite faster these last days, making it everytime more difficult to spot the new ones. That's why i have decided to tag them.I had sent a letter to Apple hoping for some sort of answer.

Update is... there is no update. My lines count up to fifteen, and right now my only wish is for the lines to come to follow the pattern. Some do skip it. While the 14th was coming and going, fifteenth was confident enough to just pop up the next day.By the 8th line the average was a line every 15 days.9th line (27 days), 10th line (12 days), 11th line (3 days) 12th line (12 days), 13th (9 days
