Has anyone seen this before? It's happening with any camera app (Skype, Photo Booth, Hangouts) so it doesn't appear to be software related. I'm assuming it's a hardware issue but I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this before. Thanks!

  • are you using the internal isight webcam or an external camera, and when you take a picture in photo booth for example does the resulting image show the same lines?

  • This is the internal webcam - and yes it is the same when taking a picture in photo booth.

Note that I am GUESSING here but that looks awfully like a damaged sensor. You occasionally see similar displays on LCD panels when they go bad so this might indeed be the hardware error you think it is.

  • Looks like a broken camera to me indeed.
