lines across my screen

I need help to figure out what to do with my screen. I turned on my phone and on the left side of my screen I had squiggly line about a 1/2 in in size in the middle of the left side of my screen and it has grown to two lines, one across the entire screen and the other about half way. Does anyone else have this or can anyone help me fix this please.

I have something similar that just started a few days ago.

I have solid lines forming horizontally across the top of my screen. It started with just a short segment, about a quarter of an inch. It is now a couple of rows deep (but not solid all the way across).

I just did a full system reset and resync, which had no effect.

Hi 101v-ball,

Does the iPhone have any accidental damage or abuse?

Try resetting the iPhone and/or restoring it.

If you still see the lines after a reset or restore, the iPhone may need hardware repair. Make a reservation to have a Genius at a local Apple retail store take a look at it or call AppleCare.
