My Lombard G3 does that as well with horizontal lines. The tiny silver connections in the display that connect the pixels up to the driver circuitry break. There is no chance of repair other then to replace the display module.

All of a sudden, the screen on my daughter's iBook, a little more than 6
months old, is now displaying only vertical lines. They fill the entire
screen. Starting from the left, there is a blue line of 1 or 2 pixels, then
a black of 2 or 3, then a faint red of 1 pixel, then right next to it are 2
green lines, the first one being about 3 or 4 pixels, then a black line of 1
pixel and another green line of 1 pixel. Then, there is a black strip of
about 4 or 5 pixels wide and the pattern starts over again with the blue
line.


The computer otherwise works fine. I did boot it in FireWire target mode to
transfer my daughter's home directory on my old Pismo and everything went
well. I must say that the pattern was slightly different when booted in
target disk mode.


I'll be taking it to the nearest Apple store tomorrow but I was wondering if
anybody has seen this problem before. It is a 1.2GHz G4 iBook, 12", running
10.3.8.


Any idea?

Thanks in advance!

elder days n.: The heroic age of hackerdom (roughly, pre-1980); the era of
the PDP-10, TECO, ITS, and the ARPANET. This term has been rather
consciously adopted from J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy epic "The Lord of the
Rings". Compare Iron Age; see also elvish and Great Worm.
