2011 27" iMac is dim on the RIGHT side of the screen

Just like the countless other people with the 2009 and 2011 27" iMacs, it seems the backlight is not functional on the right half of my screen.  All of the other posts I've searched for seem to point to the left side being the primary issue, mine is the right, in the same spectacular manner.  Wondering if anyone else has experienced this on the right side?  I attempted to apply pressure at the bottom LEFT of the screen and all over the border of the LCD to no avail. 
I contacted apple support, they suggested I have it checked for the recall video issue with the apple store(certain video cards).  My i7 passed the tests for the video card, and i was quoted $510 to replace the screen.
The technician couldn't verify that the replacement LCD had been re-worked to avoid this issue in the future.  The technician was aware of the issue and indicated she's done 10+ of these repairs, and knew it to be a common issue.  She acknowledged this is a manufacturing defect, that the consumer could do nothing to avoid.  She checked with her manager, the manager said that I was out of luck, that I had my chance to purchase applecare, so no break on the replacement cost/repair.
If anyone has had the issue with the right side of the screen, is there another connector which may need pressure applied to that might resolve without replacing a $500 screen?

Hi Dewey,
Are you trying to convert via Adobe Reader? If so, are you able to close and restart Reader (you may need to force quit, or use Task Manager to quit Reader if it's truly frozen)? After restarting, choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version.
And, if updating Reader doesn't help (or you already have the most current version), please try converting that same file using the ExportPDF web interface at https://cloud.acrobat.com.
Please let us know how it goes.
Thanks!

  • I just jazzed up my 2 Ghz iMac with 10.6.8, and 4 gigs of memory. I'm VERY happy with the results (fast!), but now I have a thin yellow line way over on the right side of the screen, which goes from top to bottom. This is really strange! Any input?

    I'm VERY happy with the results (fast!). However, the really strange thing is this - there is now a thin yellow line, way over on the right side of the screen, which goes from top to bottom, and stays there no matter where I go or what I do. I've never seen anything like this! It was not there before I did the upgrades. Anyone out there ever heard of such a preposterous thing ~ or have any ideas on how to get rid of it?

    Hello Mark,
    It's going to mean a lot of reading but you should study the 'More like this' legend to your post's immediate right.  >>>>>>>>   plus some of the links within each.
    The problem is well explored with much guidance on what to do and where to go.

  • My macbook keeps freezing with the left side of the screen on the right and the right side of the screen on the left. Help

    My 17-inch early 2011 macbook pro keeps freezing on me.  The freeze usually occurs when I'm importing or exporting pictures, when I stream anything, or If I am watching a dvd.  The left side of the screen shifts to the right and the right side of the screen shifts to the left.  lines also appear on my screen and I can not force quit any open application.  I have not dropped my laptop at all. 
    Mac OSX Lion version 10.7.5
    2.2 Ghz Intel Core i7
    I would like to avoid going to the an apple store to fix this problem if possible.  The closest one to me is 40 miles away. 
    Help : )

    If you don't have the Applecare extended warranty then you will need to pay for the fix. The fix is a New Logic Board. It seems as your Graphics card is failing in some way. No there is no software fix for this.
    The Graphic chip is soldered to the logic board and the only way to change/fix it is to replace the complete logic board.
    Good Luck and Best Wishes

  • I have a red vertical line on the right side of my screen and it will not go away tried restarting my computer and that didn't help at all, please help me with this problem it is kind of annoying

    I have a red vertical line on the right side of my screen and it will not go away tried restarting my computer and that didn't help at all, please help me with this problem it is kind of annoying

    If it's a thin 1 pixel wide vertical line it's highly likely it could be caused by a defective LCD.
    One quick basic way to check is to note the position of the line. Then go to System Preferences, Displays, and lower the resolution. If ther line moves it's on the video and the logic board or video card if fitted is likely to be defective. If the line stays in the same position it's likely to be an LCD fault. Either way to have it repaired you'll need to visit an Apple store or AASP.
    The worst offender for this problem is the Late 2006 17" iMac. FOC replacement of the LCD used to be covered by a quality program, but it's now ended.

  • In previous versions of i Tunes you could highlight a song in your library and there would be a genious list on the right side of the screen showing songs like the one highlighted in the library. Now I do not get that list. Is there a way to get this back

    In previous versions of i Tunes I could highlight a song in my library and a genious list would show on the right side of the screen listing songs that were like the one highlighted. Now I do not get that list. Is there a way to get that back?

    Hi again Bob,
    I believe I've found the feature you were speaking about now. Information on the "In the Store" feature of iTunes can be found here:

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • 'list all tabs' arrow - how can I move it to the right side of the tabs?

    I want to have the 'List all tabs' arrow on the right side of the firefox window.. just to the left of the 'minimise/restore/close' set of buttons. The 'Open a new tab' button can be moved -- why not also the 'list all tabs' button?? Very frustrating. Much Google-fu has not yet found a solution to this simple problem... help?

    Hmm, by default that little downward pointing triangle is at the right end of the tab bar. Could you go back into Customize mode and try dragging anything that appears to the right of it back around to the left of it?

  • How can I get a scroll bar at the bottom of the page so I can see the right side of the page when I am using two windows?

    With two or three pages open, I have scroll bars that allow me to see the right side of the other pages, but not on the Firefox page.

    Thank you for the reply, Fred, but when I went to my saved screenshot, I realized that the shortcut on my desktop had opened in IE, not Firefox. There is no scroll bar and the directional arrows do not work. My daughter has been playing with my laptop again. When I set up the same conditions with Firefox, there is no scroll bar, but the arrows function properly, so I can read to the right edge of the page. Now to find someone who knows IE11. Thanks again, for your reply.

  • How do you adjust Firefox to print what is on email page without adding a 1 inch left marghin to that page as it cuts off some of the right side of the page?

    When I receive an email the page often has a certificate that I would like to print. Using the print function at the top of the page brings up the email as a page as it looks in my web email. When I hit the print button on that page there is always a 1 inch margin added to the printed page cutting off the right side of the desired page to be printed.
    My printer accepts what ever I send it from word, pdf files as they appear on the screen, Why doe Firefox not send the same images as is displayed to the printer?
    This seems to occur whenever the screen shows an image that is almost border to border and not text. When a margin is part of the email message or it is text this doesn't seem to occur.
    HELP Please. I really need to be able to print what is displayed to print the proper document.
    Thanks

    Some pages add their own margin to the minimum margin set in Page Setup. First you might reduce the margin here:
    Alt+f (displays the classic File menu) > Page Setup > Margins & Header/Footer tab
    Second, you could try using Shrink to Fit. However, if the image is a background image rather than part of the content of the page, that might not have any effect.

  • The drop down view by menu (Song, album, etc) at the right side of the iTunes window is like a ghost. It flashes into view for a millisecond once in awhile but never lets me click on it. Anyone know what this is about and what to do?

    The drop down view by menu (Song, album, etc) at the right side of the iTunes window is like a ghost. It flashes into view for a millisecond once in awhile but never lets me click on it. Anyone know what this is about and what to do?

    Short answer:
    Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
    Long answer:
    iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
    If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
    Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
    To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.

  • Updated to Firefox 18.0 and now the windows are wrapping improperly, with more and more of the right side of the window showing up on the left as you go down.

    Updated to Firefox 18.0 on a MacBook running Mac OS 10.6. Non-static areas of the window (url & search boxes, main area of window, etc.) now display incorrectly, looking like what happens when a program thinks the image is (for example) 500 pixels wide, when its actually 512 pixels wide. Each line after the first starts with what's "leftover" from the line above it, resulting in an image that appears slanted, with what should be the right side of the image appearing on progressively more on the left side of the image. No other programs (including Safari) seem to be exhibiting this problem, and it appeared immediately after the upgrade. Minimizing the window into the Dock, then re-opening temporarily fixes the problem. As soon as I scroll the window, the problem reappears.

    I am having the same problem. the screen slants to the right making the navigation impossible, also some fields like the address bar are complely messed up-looks like a no signal TV screen. I have tried to reinstall and remove the plist file. Am using firefox 18 on a intel macbook running 10.5 thanks for any help

  • Using values in the right side of the shuttle on another page.

    Hello All,
    On page 1 I have a shuttle item. I select some values and move them to the right side of the shuttle. Now I need to navigate to a second page (currently I'm controlling the navigation with a button) and pass the values from the right side of the shuttle on page 1 over to page 2. How do I get the values from the right side of the shuttle on page one over to page 2. If it's easier to use a pop-up than a second page 2 I'd love to do that, but same problem, how to use the values from the right side of the shuttle?
    I've tried setting up a shuttle on page 2 and setting the values on the URL re-direct but, no luck! I also tried a PL/SQL (On Load- Before Header) page process on the second page (see code below) where I try to "work with" the shuttle values, also no luck.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks Much!

    Hello
    >> I've tried setting up a shuttle on page 2 and setting the values on the URL re-direct but, no luck!
    The value of a Shuttle item is a colon-delimited string. As colon is used as a special character in the APEX URLs (what we call the f?p notation) you can’t pass a Shuttle value using a URL (similar to the limitation of passing a traditional time notation like 10:00 in a URL, for the same reason).
    Whenever you are submitting a page, APEX automatically saves the value of all the page items in session state, and it makes them available on any other page in the application. You can access them by using the bind variable notation with the item name (e.g. :P1_SHUTTLE1).
    In your case, all you need to do is to submit page 1 (even if you don’t run any after submit activities) and then you can use the Shuttle item value from page 1 as the default value of the Shuttle item on page 2, or use this value in any other way on page 2. Just remember that the value is a colon-delimited string and for any other use other than a Shuttle default value, you most likely need to parse it first.

    Arie.

  • When I click on a picture or map in i.e. Kijiji real estate pages, Firefox opens it all crunched to the right side of the page. How can I correct this?

    When I click on a picture or map in i.e. Kijiji real estate pages, Firefox opens it all crunched to the right side of the page. How can I correct this?
    For instance I view an apartment ad which has various pictures attached. It says click on the pictures to see an enlarged version. FF opens the page however most of the page is blank and the picture appears to be pushed to the right side of the page and shows as if it has been scrunched agains the right side not showing the whole picture.
    What Can I do to correct this?

    I see that you have increased some font sizes considerably.
    * font.size.fixed.x-western: 20
    * font.size.variable.x-western: 22
    This can effect margins when the website specifies these as em values and cause content to shift.
    If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
    It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.
    You can use the NoSquint extension to set font size (text/page zoom) and text color on web pages.
