Bound to have some corrupted file that has just started to have evenly spaced vertical lines appear on my display... maybe its some .plist file or other, but which one/name could this file have... I think once I trash the file and reboot, I hope these lines will go away... does anyone out there know the name or directory to find such file?
Mac OS X (10.4.1)
Vertical lines are almost always a hardware issue and a symptom of a defective display. Please confirm which PowerBook model you have; some have known display issues. If your serial number starts with "W8" there is a strong possibility you are among many users whose computers were fitted with a bad display at the factory.
If you still think it is a software issue, try a safe boot (hold SHIFT key down during boot under you get a usable desktop or a message that you are in safe mode).
random vertical lines on display... maybe corrupt file, but where is it?
