Photosmart C5180 HORIZONTAL lines appearing suddenly on all scans

I get horizontal lines randomly on all my scans all of a sudden when I use my Photosmart C5180 all-in-one.  Scanned a few things this afternoon and everything was normal.  Then, suddenly, a scan I did had much random horizontal lines (perpendicular to the direction of motion of the trolley) appearing thereon.  When the scan is in color, the lines are of different colors.  On b/w scans, the lines are black.  They appear in different places if I rescan and are random.  They are between 1/4 "and 1" long.  Any ideas?

Please do not send all of the links for troubleshooting vertical lines, as is not the same problem.  In addition, it is scanning only... printing functions remain normal, please so no printer/ink articles either.  Is longer under warranty so it doesn't get service unless I pay extra, and I don't want to lose money if I just need a new machine.

Any help is greatly appreciated, even though I'm starting to think that the solution is to buy a new all-in-one.

I don't think you can buy a HP spare bulb, but you might find them on sale on 3rd party websites (but reliability then comes into question). If you were able to get a spare bulb, so you will need to find someone qualified/tech-savvy enough to replace it.

I think that ultimately, you could end up spending more to look for party and someone to install it as you would on an all-in-one replacement. You could buy a separate however scanner and continue to use the C5180 for printing.

  • Vertical and/or horizontal lines appear in the FSX cockpit at any time during the game. System hangs. Happens all the time.

    I am extremely frustrated by this problem.

    I have FSX and acceleration installed on my system. My system config is: 9450 Intel clocked at 2.67 Ghz on an EVGA 780i motherboard. 1100 watts of power. A graphics card nVidia 8800 GTX, 4 GB of RAM running Windows 7 64 bit. All the drivers, hardware and software are updated. All programs run fine EXCEPT FSX, which is my main game I use.

    V Sync is set to "Power On". FSX loading is correct. When I'm in the cockpit there is a 'sparkling effect' on panels of light from the windows, etc. At any time during the flight, all of a sudden, vertical lines appear, get worse then everything crashes or I have to manually shut down computer. I adjusted and adjusted re all resolutions, uninstalled, reinstalled the program, changed and changed everything and nothing seems to fix the problem. This also occur frequently with add on such as Captain Sim 757, etc.. Captain Sim told me that it was a "matter of Microsoft."

    Help, please!

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Connect the external monitor and check if the same lines would be visible on 2nd screen.
    If these lines are not visible, then it means that the internal display may be defective.
    Otherwise, it might be a graphics card problem if line would appear on two screens.

  • Horizontal lines appear in the acquisition of grab after awhile

    Hello everyone, my system is using 4 cameras. This system worked for about 3 years and never had a problem with that. But now, when I start my process for less than an hour, I begin to see horizontal lines in my image acquisition. Even when I close all my VI, that too in MAX. For the Christmas holidays, I turn off the entire system. When I started everything back, chassis PXI My was not at MAX. So I finally understood that I had to open the PXI chassis before you open the computer. But, in doing so, I lost a few seting I managed to retrieve backups. Is there a MAX seting who could do that? A seting that could have a link with the image buffer? I also get errors about the acquisition of IMAQ I ever had before to "IMG_ERR_TIM0" thank you for your help.


  • horizontal lines appeared on my photos

    Printer HP Officejet Pro 8100 using HP Advanced glossy and compatible ink paper now produces horizontal lines through photos. Can you help me please?

    Hello YLJ,.

    Possible solutions to your problem depends on how resembles horizontality. If they are thin white stripes then to clean the cartridge/printhead via the software could be a solution because it is not unlikely that it is caused by damaged/clogged nozzles on the print head. If scratches are more like pattern of dark/ligher thicker 'lines', then by changing the print to high quality would be a more likely solution.

  • horizontal lines appear in the photos when printing

    I'm having a problem with printing photos in an indesign document.  When photos, jpeg files, are placed in the document and printed, there are small black lines that travelled horizontally through photos to a half inch.  These lines run through only the photos, not the rest of the document, and they do not appear when the photos are printed separated, and not in an indesign document.  This may be the cause?  Is there a guide that I accidentally put under tension which might be the cause?

    Thanks for any help on this matter.

    What version of InDesign and operating system? InDesign is fully patched?

  • The thick, horizontal lines appear in source and program Viewer footage set to less than 100%...

    Can anyone help?

    This suddenly started across all projects, including those that I worked on for centuries without any problem.  Everything else seems to be exactly the same in other applications than ever before, PP only is affected.  The film is all progressive (I rarely encounter interlaced nowadays), prores HQ 25 fps, usually 1080, but also 720.  Output to the screen, through MXO2 mini is fine and has not changed at all.  I can't think of updates recently, certainly not in the last week, when it started.

    It's really weird and obviously wrong, but I can't begin to find how to solve this problem, after exhausting all my standard corrections (settings in the application hardware, OS, etc. all checked and rechecked.  Made restarts - without result).

    My system is:

    MacPro 5.1 6 hearts 3.33 GHz

    12 GB OF RAM

    GTX285 Mac GPU - CUDA 5.0.45, GPU driver 1.3.4.0 (295.00.05f03)

    OSX 10.7.5

    PP CS 6.0.2

    MXO2 mini - latest drivers etc.

    All thoughts, much appreciated!

    Thank you

    Dominic

    Well, I think I have fixed it but any the wiser for why I got this problem.

    Fixed by upgrading my OS to OSX 10.8.3 (always experience trembling nerve), after my startup etc. disk cloning.  Then I updated to the latest CUDA, reinstalled my Matrox drivers and crossed my fingers!  Fortunately, everything seems fine now.  I can only think that the problem was, perhaps, something to do with CUDA, because the only time where I never had a problem has been using PP and reading less than 100% scale.

  • Horizontal lines in all modes (boot, safe mode etc.)

    Horizontal lines across my screen all... This occurs during startup, in POST, on the login screen in SafeMode etc etc...

    Example 1:

    the PC will sometimes hang after POST, before starting Windows and occasionally asking me if I'd like to try to get it back, that does not solve the problem. If she manages to get to the standard login screen, after typing my password, the PC will crash.

    I am able to boot in safe mode, but the lines are still there.

    Example 2:

    This obviously isn't a problem of graphics driver that the problem persists in safe mode and when starting. I also tried on 2 different monitors, who work very well when hooked to other devices.

    If someone could give me a solution or an idea where the problem may lie... I would be eternally grateful.

  • Satellite Pro M10 - horizontal lines on the screen in different areas

    Hi all

    I hope someone can help.
    My Satellite Pro M10 seems to suffer a display problem where I have horizontal lines on the screen in different areas.
    It would be well for 10 minutes and when the laptop seems to warm up this problem begins, then shortly after
    The laptop would crash and enter in a resolution of 800 x 600 16 colors or sometimes freeze.

    Graphic drivers have been resettled, and even a new installation of Windows XP from the recovery CD does not help.
    A reboot doesn't solve what the same thing happens again and after one minute of use, so I thought it might be a video or cooling problem.
    I changed the video card I had a spare part of my last motherboard hoping this would solve the problems, but the problem persists.
    Perhaps a cooling problem? Or problems of motherboard?
    The motherboard has been replaced twice, hoping that this isn't another mobo problem.

    Any advice would be great.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I m not 100% sure but to me it looks a bit like an overheating problem
    Maybe the graphics card may not be properly cooled after a certain period of time and that's why these strange horizontal lines appear on the screen.

    I wonder how you were able to replace the graphics chip on the motherboard?  :|
    If I m not wrong not the chip is fixed and the replacement is very easy and difficult

    It of always difficult to say what's maybe wrong without running several diagnostic tests in most cases this problem may be related to the defective chip or motherboard and so the following should be checked

    Sorry, but that's all I can suggest.

    Best regards from my friend

  • HDMI output on Qosmio G40 - horizontal line on the screen

    I connect my Qosmio G40 to an 46F86BDX of Samsung LCD via HDMI. On all my films, when there is a shift, I see a horizontal line on the screen. Sometimes is in the middle of the screen, sometimes lower.

    I tried my pc with another TV and a different cable, but the same problem. Someone knows the same thing?

    Thanx

    Hello

    > On all my films, when there is a shift, I see a horizontal line on the screen.

    If I understand issue you this horizontal line appears ONLY on and external TV and ONLY if there is some faster movements of the pic.

    If so, then I think it has nothing to do with G40 Notepad.
    I have read that those issues could be related to the new TVs LCD then to watch movies in high definition.

    I think you should read a few tests and reports on similar issues on LCD TVs

  • HP probook 450 G2: flickering horizontal lines on the screen while watching the video after water damage

    Hello

    My father accidentally threw a glass of cola on my computer, on my keyboard. I was able to turn my laptop upside down very quickly and went out of the battery. I then let dry for 24 hours. At first glance the damage seemed limited to my keyboard that I already replaced. Everything else seems to work very well (sound, touchpad, usb ports, hdmi, dvd drive port) until I watched a video. Flickering horizontal lines appeared in the background, which are only slightly visible. Lines do not appear when I'm surfing the internet, playing games, or when I do no matter what other casual stuff. I also don't see any flickering lines when I connect to my laptop to an external display.

    Does anyone have an idea on what the problem might be and what parts can I replace to fix this?

    The unit to boot BIOS and check if you get all the lines. If you don't get all the lines in the BIOS screen,

    then update the BIOS and chipset. But if the problem persists then you must send it to the service.

  • Screen flashing horizontal lines after replacing the RAM

    Hello world

    Today, I replaced the original 2 2 GB RAM each with 2 other 4 GB each (Kingston) for better performance.

    I have a Macbook Pro end 2011 15 ", IOS 9.3.1.

    I opened the computer it vacuum cleaner very carefully, with the lowest power and then I removed the two RAM.

    I'm not new, the machine worked perfectly for 20 minutes, then the screen went black (electricity was running in it, I could see some lights on the bottom), I did close it with the button, turn it on and horizontal lines appeared.

    I turn again and nothing has changed. I replaced the new memory with the 'old' and I still have horizontal lines that cross the monitor (white, grey, black).

    Any idea of what is happening and how to fix it?

    Thank you in advance!

    That could be the problem:

Then, every 3 minutes scrolling my phone, he become the gel and the horizontal lines appear on my screen. Also, I restarted my phone for my time. But it remains the same. Whats happening? Help me

    Hi noshsyahirah,

    I don't know if the horizontal lines that you see on your iPhone are the result of the iOS 9.2.1 update but I will propose a number of things to try.  The first is to update your iPhone in order to ensure that the software is installed correctly.  If the problem persists, you will need to backup your iPhone and then restore it as a new device.  If after trying these software troubleshooting steps you still see horizontal lines, then your device will need to be inspected for a hardware problem.
