Looks like a hardware fault - take it back yo O2.

Not sure what you mean by:

i iphone is a pay as you go on o2, unlocked iphone on 02payg, i think its usa too

If it is an O2 PAYG phone it is locked to O2 unless you've unlocked it yourself.

hi, its o2 pay as you go, but it was unlocked as it was before the pay as you go iphones were out

? i think its a usa model too and i live in the uk and would be out of warrenty?

So it's a 2G?
What are the model number and first 5 digits of the serial number?

It looks like you have a faulty LCD and its bleeding. It will only spread and get worse.

If its a 3G its not hard to replace yourself, im from the UK and if your uncomfortable with it i would do it for you for free.

If its a 2G its a completely different story....

Sorry, after reading the other grey line post and lookin at your pictures again it might not be bleeding as such.

Is it a 2G or 3G?

hello.

its a 2g and serial first digits are 7V742JB ?

one line keeps getting a little longer each day, im from the uk cornwall, i bought it unlocked on pay as u go 02 when it 1st came out

You will need to try and take it to an Apple store and see what they can do.

Your probably looking at upgrading to a 3G or 3GS im afraid as the phones out of warranty and fixing the 2G LCD involves replacing the whole front panel i believe which costs about as much as the phones worth.

Have you tried restoring the phone out of interest?

hi all, 1 line has now gone right acros the screen


also i had the iphone out in sunlight with it locked and even when nothing was on the screen itself i could see a dark line very faint where the fault is on the screen when its lit up too?


ipaq repair are they any good and trustworthy?

thanks

As reeko says, it will cost more to repair than the phone is worth.
