Black strip at bottom of display (retina)

Hi all,
Just out of curiosity, does anyone else have some "give" in the black plastic strip at the bottom the display on their Macbook Pro Retina? I only notice because as I took it out of the box (obviously whilst the MacBook was closed), I could feel it move a tiny bit. If it isnt supposed to be like that, is it just a case of Apple securing it? I dont really want to go through the hassle of having a new display or god forbid, new unit entirely.

  • Vertical black stripes at bottom of screen

    After updating to OSX 10.6.8 I have noticed that my MBP 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo has vertical black stripes at the bottom of the screen when I start it up.  I cna still use it, but the stripes are very distracting.  I thought it was a hardware issue (like my screen is failing).  But the solution suggests that it is a software problem. 
    The solution is to retart the computer after its initial bootup.  When it restarts the black stripes are completely absent and the computer runs for long periods of time (like for days) with no problem at all, even when it goes to sleep and then wakes back up.
    Anyone else have this issue?

    Hello @jomerbey,

    I understand that you are having issues with your HP TouchSmart Elite 7320 All-in-One PC developing a black patch over time that disappears after restarting. I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure, I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums, since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Business PCs - Compaq, Elite, Pro.
    I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?

    My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?
    I have a two and half year mac book pro... I've had some issues with the screen looking scrambled when I quit certain applications, but now it's turned into something worse.  I'll be working on my computer and the thing will freeze.  When I force restart, the first screen, the apple logo, will be a blue tint and won't boot up normally.  Then I try safe mood and it will then boot just fine.  But there are blue stripes on my screen.  The screen alternates from a blue tint to normal and if the computer freezes again the screen will become completely blue with black stripes.  I haven't tried reinstalling my software because I don't have the startup discs that came with my computer.  If I was sure that would fix it I would purchase them, but if it's a hardware issue I'm afraid that I'm screwed.  I've been able to successfully get the blue off my screen by putting it to sleep and then waking it up, but that's not working well anymore either. 
    Does anyone else have experience with this?  Is it the firmware or what?  I have a MacBook Pro from early 2011 and I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    Please help... Thanks!

    I just experienced this exact same issue with my early 2011 15" macbook pro. Since like a month after purchasing it I had issues with the screen randomly going dark on me. I sent it in for repair inder waranty they replaced the gpu and logic board but I continued to have the same issues with the screen randomly going black sometimes I would need to reboot it in order to get the screen to go back on but it happened so infrequently and I used the computer for school so disnt find the time to resend it in to apple. Just last night the screen started to display the blue screen with black verticle lines on it. I called apple and explained to them  the issues that had been ongoing since I purchased the laptop but they said because I was now outside of warantee that any repairs at thia point wouldn't be covered. Fml so glad I spent 2200 on this future proof macbook pro what a joke my sister purchased a toshiba laptop for 300 4 years ago and it still running like a champ. I loved my macbook but at the price I paid I expect it to last longer than 2 years before leaving me high and dry. *** apple??

  • IMovie6 make automaticly black stripes on top/bottom

    When I imported from my Sony DCR HC44E (wide screen 16:9) into iMovie 6 and take shots to the archive the program automaticly make black stripes so it takes a lot of time and some details are missed afterwars. How can I change this after record 16:9 into iMovie and burn this to DVD?

    Also I have found this on the export video screen which narrows it down a bit...
    Here's how the source tab of that screen looks...
    compared to the output tab, with the black bars that are my issue...
    So where did I go wrong here?

  • 20wm monitor black strip

    After accidently hitting the auto adjust/OK button,  I can't seem to get rid of this black strip on the left side on my screen. Even after I manually adjust it, there's still a half inch off the screen. When I hit auto adjust again,  it just goes back to the original inch-of-black-doom. What do I do to fix it?
    Ps: I've also tried the whole unplug,  wait 10 seconds,  the plug it back in AND the reset to factory default.  Both go back to the inch of black screen on the side.

    I understand that after using the Auto-Adjust on your monitor you are not able to remove a black line on your screen. As you have already tried adjusting the monitor I would suggest you try changing the resolution on your computer and then resetting it back to the resolution that you are using 1600x900.
    Please re-post if you require additional support. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • How do I get rid of a wide black strip each side of my screen

    How to delete wide black strips each side of my screen

    Check that you have the correct screen resolution set: System Preferences>Displays>Display tab and makes sure you have 'Best for display' selected. (This is the route used for Mavericks 10.9.1 - I'm guessing 10.7 will be similar).

  • Certain flash animations have black stripes all over them

    [http://www.evony.com/ Evony]
    The main Evony flash animated logo displays black stripes across it as it animates. I don't experience this with any other browsers. (opera 11 and any chrome build I've come across). This is the only website producing this problem for me in firefox. I have uninstalled flash and reinstalled (via an uninstall tool even).

  • No controls, just a black strip

    Whenever I go to play a movie or sound file imbedded in a web page, the controls at the bottom of the window are completely blacked out. If I search for them by clicking where they should belong, the playback begins, but the controls aren't visible. The playback is fine, there is nothing wrong with the movies or sound files, but the controls (volume, play/pause, position)are just a black strip across the bottom.

    I'm not sure of the steps as I haven't used a Windows 64 bit OS.
    I suppose you could find them in the help files or a search at the Microsoft Site.

  • Small Black Stripe And Dots On Screen (MacBook Pro 15")

    Last year July i bought my first mac, amazed at it's performance graphics etc etc.
    But recently a black stripe appeared out of nowhere, also there is randomly black dots
    on the screen, whom appear from time time.
    I've read a couple of thing like resetting ram, running diagnostics etc without luck.
    Can anybody help me? I afraid they are dead pixels, if so i am very disappointed in the quality of
    the screen (a thing that i didn't expect)
    Anyone?

    Your computer is new enough that they should be able to know it is under warranty whether or not you have the receipt. If you bought it from the on line store, you may have some paperwork in your email.
    If you have access to an external display, you might check and see if the graphics problem is also on the external. If not, the problem may be with your display rather than with the chip. But whatever it is, it will be covered by the warranty.
    The store may also be able to refer you to a local Apple Authorized Service Provider should you need one.
    Good luck!

  • Some prints have black stripes instead of text

    Sometimes when I print a pdf, the printouts contain black stripes instead of text.
    Acrobat X Pro was used to create the documents from Word 2010.
    The Printer is a
    HP Laserjet 4700
    Driver: HP Universal Printing PCL 6 (61.118.1.11744); UDP Version: 5.4.0.11744
    I also tried another drivers AND also another Printer (HP 4700 too).
    Still the same results.
    Do you have any ideas what could be the reason for that problem?
    thx 4 info
    gamma

    This type of result is often due to errors in the HP printer drivers. Several things can be tried. Sometimes, using a tested driver for an older, but compatible printer will do the job. A lot of folks used the use the HPLJ2 driver even with HPLJ3 and 4 systems. Another option is to try to print as a graphic. At this point, I can only suggest playing around with things. A lot of folks like the graphic driver aspect instead.
    You might also consider printing to the printer in a PS mode rather than PCL if that option is available.
    I am only suggesting things I have seen tried by various folks. I don't have a good explanation.

  • I have a black dialog box on my display that I cannot get rid of. It displays text of whatever I am in, apps, docs, etc, and I have been unable to get rid of it.

    I have a black dialog box on my display that I cannot get rid of. I was cleaning my keyboard and must have hit some combination of keys that caused it. It shows text announcing everything I open on the display or am looking at. Can anyone help me turn this off? Thanks.

  • IPAD  WITH DISPLAY RETINA 32 GB  WIFI+CELLULAR

    HI,
    I'm not an expert with ipads so i would like to know if i buy in the usa an ipad with display retina 32gb wifi+cellular, will the cellular option work in Italy because i'm gonna use it there.

    Hello razmee209.  Thank you for your response.  I spent the better part of yesterday working with Apple Support.  They tried their best, to include backing up photos to my HP laptop, backing up the iPad to iCloud, then resetting the iPad in total.  Same problem.  I restored from the cloud to recover my apps, same problem.
    AT&T installed a new sim card - same problem.  I spent time with AT&T Support yesterday, too.  In both cases, (Apple and AT&T) the support techs who worked with me were extremely polite, courteous and helpful to the best of their abilities, but I think the problem lies deeper, and nobody at Apple is admitting they have a problem with iOS 8, that I'm aware of.
    I didn't have this issue before I upgraded to iOS 8.1.2.
    Everything else with the iPad works fine:  WIFI, Personal Hotspot, email, all my apps, etc.
    In browsing the web for this issue I see that many other folks have the same problem.  I filed a report with Apple this morning, requesting that they contact me, but no word yet.  I was going to go to iPhone 6, and had been considering the iPad Air 2, but I see reports of this problem with those units as well.
    At this point I don't think I'll be spending any more money with Apple, at least not till this issue is resolved.
    Thanks again for your response and suggestions.

  • Yellowish tint at the bottom of display

    Hello!
    My iMac i7 is 2 weeks old and I've noticed the difference in color temperature of the top and bottom of display. The bottom is warmer, the top shows colder colors. Example: http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/3477/imacam.jpg
    Apples support told me it's normal, but it doesn't look normal for me...

    Twols:
    When iMac 7 came out, a problem that this model had was yellow coloration of the monitor. How wide spread, I don't know but enough for me not to buy it and wait which I'm still doing. There were many, many posts to that effect that are no longer here. It definitely has been a problem and it is not new with you although the yellow monitor front has been quiet for a long time and I assumed it was no longer a problem. The problem has to do with the manufacturing of the screen I think and with one manufacturer but if you are not satisfied make an appointment at an Apple store and bring it in--depending on how yellow, it may not be normal. It's up to you, any indication of yellowing may not be good enough or it's not noticeable under normal operation. There were a few folks who were quite active about this and if they have read your post, I hope they will respond because there was quite a bit of important information posted. My suggestion is to return and get your money back if Apple insists it is normal. Early customers of i7 who had the problem returned them many times and Apple seemed to be very obliging about exchanging at that time. As I said, this situation has not been reported for quite a while and I assumed everything was OK and it still may be. Also, I'm not sure but it may be too late to return the computer for your money but insist politely and tell Apple there have been many posts reported here regarding the yellow screen.
    But and most important, you paid good money for the computer, don't be intimidated by self-proclaimed guardians of the flame who beef up their post numbers with prattle. As I like to say, if I'm paying Rolls Royce prices for something, I want Rolls Royce quality.

  • Regza LCD HDTV 52XF550U has wide black stripes on the right side

    Hi, my 2008 REGZA LCD 52XF550U has wide black stripes on the right side.  I think the problem started within 24 months from my purchase.  And the stripes are getting wider. 
    I have tried to reset the setup, power off and on, all to no avail.  See attached picture.
    If someone can shed light on this problem and its (preferably permanent) fix and approx. cost, it will be greatly appreciated.  I could simply chug this Toshiba LCD and buy another non-Toshiba HDTV, but I think that would be wasteful if it can be fixed. 
    Regards,
