17" MacBookPro LCD light problem

Hi, I hope somebody can help me with this...
2 months ago (may 2011), I bought a MBP 17" 4GB RAM 1GB video, the thing is, I used it normally the last time (I don´t remember if that day installed a new firmware, but I believe I installed one few days before the problem) and i turned it off, when I tried to turn it on, I heard the sounds and a CD reading, but the LCD is just black, dead, like it is unplugged, I can adjust the volume and hear the sound of it, I can see the light of the keyboard, and then, if I use my MBP with a window behind of me, with the sunlight I can see the desktop and the menus and use them, that´s why I believe the LCD light is not working. As I said before, I just bought it 2 months ago in USA, but I took it out of the country for work and I can´t find the ticket!, does anybody know if the warranty applies in another country (Mexico)? as an additional data, my MBP haven´t suffered the minimum hit or fall, it has no scratches at all.
Please somebody help me! =(

I think your best bet would be to call Apple on the phone and explain your situation and see what they suggest:

Down at the bottom there is a number listed for Mexico.
You are clearly under warranty, and this does sound like a hardware problem of some sort that should be covered.
Good luck!

Laptop crashed only LCD light comes on, but it starts up normal. HELP NEEDED ASAP

I was typing an assignment when my pc suddenly froze and produced this loud noise, which lasted for about 30sec. It then went to a bright blue screen telling me my PC has crashed and will restart soon. It loaded to 100% then restarted, but the screen came up black; only the LCD light is present. It runs normal as the screen blinks as it would after the HP screen loads on boot up, and all the lights are on. Furthermore, I use the finger print scan to log in and it works as I can hear my Skype login. I tried the hard reset and nothing. I tried HDMI and it worked. However, I foolishly uninstalled the graphics from device manager thinking that it would reinstall upon reboot and solve my problem: it didn't. Now I have a blank screen and I can't use HDMI as I uninstalled the graphics thing. When I press f4 the screen doesn't do anything, it doesn't source to external physically output. I can't even adjust screen brightness anymore and I previously could before I deleted the graphics. I am out of ideas. Please help me. My assignment is due a day from now and I need to complete it. :cry:

Update. I was able to use Windows narrator to enable the graphics an now I have HDMI access again. I am currently using my T.V. as monitor to get my work done. If anyone can tell me what to do about the blank screen it would be greatly appreciated.

C1-01 weird lcd light

I just bough C1-01 and found that lcd light not so comfortable to my eyes, it's like a very bright/metalic effect in some color, mostly seem at dark grey color, like seeing 3D anaglyph using 3D glasses.
Try to rotate the phone to lanscape position (keypad at right and display lcd at left) and display look much better, i think lcd position should be this way.
Is it normal ? or lcd defect ?

if you can't remove what is clogging the charger port, or it is affecting your charging performance negatively, you will need to take your phone to your local Nokia Care for inspection: http://nokia.com/support

I have the macBookPro and the problem is the mouse pad does not work I tried everything but still does not work what should i do ?

I have the macBookPro and the problem is the mouse pad does not work I tried everything but still does not work what should i do ?
so i'm using the usb mouse

I want to clarify the issue.
The issue is with the MBP trackpad, and it works fine with an attached USB mouse.
With some ingenuity, you might be able to fix this yourself, but I suggest visiting your local Apple Store/Genius Bar. Some have fixed this issue and have posted their results online, but the Apple Store should be your first destination.
Post here with your results!!

I have one Compaq Presario C300 Laptop. Just before two days I have replaced the LCD with a new one. Now everything is working fine when I connect the charger. When I disconnect the charger power (Switched to Battery Mode), the laptop is working but LCD Back light gets off Immediately. Even in that state the laptop is working and I can see the Display in LCD without light. I have tried to increase the brightness of screen usin fn+F8 key, its not working. In Charger power mode every thing is ok. In DOS Mode and BioS Screen also same thing is happening. Then I have connected the Charger again backlight is not getting on. To get the display back I need to restart the PC after connecting the charger.
What will be the problem?
Can U help me. IS it any hardware failure.
Expecting a Reply.
If you've replaced the LCD then it's probably the LCD power inverter board that is the problem.

Nokia N97 LCD Screen Problems - a never ending sto...

Hello.
I recently purchased a new Nokia N97 smartphone. Everything about the phone is awesome, such as GPS, decent camera, good audio and video playback, etc, except for one thing. First thing first, I always see ghosting or 'burn-in' of images on the screen - quiet clearly on bright backgrounds. This is one of many annoyances as it often is visible when your watching movies and will only go away if the screen is off long enough. Another fault with the screen is that it appears to not refresh fast enough as I can often see what appears to be 'scan lines' running horizontal (if the phone is horizontal). Last, but not least, there appears to be diagonal lines crossing the screen from the top left to the buttom right as well as little matrixes of dots, however they do not seem to be on the LCD itself but rather the resistve layer. This may be just a feature to make the screen more reponsive, but I don't know and it is only visible in bright light, but when it is, you can diffently notice it. Does anyone else notice these strange effects? Will a Nokia Care Center help fix it?
And yes, screen proctectors have been removed.
Naito.

I have the exact same problems... Some other problems two.
When I get a call and my correspondent quits the communication before I do, the phone freezes and I m forced to turn the phone off to deblock it.
This is really annoying. Some times, just while navigating between menus the screen gets stuck between two menus.
I purchased the phone 2 days ago and as you sed, its a great phone but not worth the pries, far from it.
I m goanna bring it back to the shop to have it change to see if its my phone who has a problem or the entire N97 series.
If that's the case I ll go for an other phone. I have always used Nokia phones, and was happy about them but this time I m am really disappointed.
I ll let you guys know if I get these problems fixed or if it gets worst.

Windpad 110W Tablet LCD light leak and dead pixels

Hello,
I've just received the 110W tablet (I'm in the USA) and the LCD exhibits what I'll call light leak, where the backlight leaks or bleeds through so that when viewing a dark background you can see white light around the perimeter of the display. The white light is in blotches and shows up around the display in various places. My tablet most noticeably shows light leak on the left side of the display. Has anyone else had this problem with their Windpad tablets?
I've seen this in several other tablets I've had (Eee Transformer, Xoom FE), and it may just be something we live with, but I'd like to get your feedback before I return it to find the replacement exhibits the same light leak problem.
Also, how about dead pixels? Mine has a dead (always black) pixel up at the top of the display which doesn't really bother me at all. Again, I'm just looking for your experience with these issues.
Thanks!

Interesting that you would return it for the dead pixel.
Absolutely, on a screen this size it would be very annoying. I have only ever had a dead pixel at work and made them change it.
I have no idea what MSI's dead pixel policy is though so that may affect whether you can return it or not.

T43p LCD "dead" problem

Well, the LCD on this 5 or so year old laptop (Type 2668 RU3) finally gave up the ghost. It's been getting dimmer over the last year or so. Yesterday it was flickering a bit and today it's dark. I can see the image if I hold a bright light next to the screen (and I can use an external display, though the only one I have around the house is pretty low resolution and it's driving me nuts). I expect the backlight is shot (though maybe it's the inverter board?). In and case, a new part doesn't seem to be available fom Lenovo / IBM directly. I see a few suppliers out there seem to carry replacement LCDs for not all that much. (I've replaced the fan inside the laptop a few times and replaced the motherboard on an old R31, so I'm not all that intimidated by replacing the LCD on this one, though I'd rather not do it in the dead of winter with a ton of static in the air). A couple of questions though: first, how do I tell whether my existing screen is XGA or SXGA+? (I and make the icons really really tiny on the screen, or I used to be able to when I could see it); second, is it more likely that it's the backlight or the inverter that's shot and how might I be able to figure it out?; third, are any of these available replacement screens likely to be a good deal (i.e. are they likely to work ok?).
Thanks,
Bill

Your current screen is 14" SXGA+, and chances are that it needs a new backlight, inverter doesn't really have much to do with the problem that you're describing.
Make sure that you get a proper LCD with a FRU number, and not some type of "compatible" garbage from feebay, since you might blow the board using an improper LCD.

Iphone 4s light problem? Back light keeps going dark at random times? Like when you change the lighting but it does it on its own?

Does anyone have a idea what is going on with my iphone?
On settings you can change the brightness of the screen but my iphone does it when it wants to?
I have auto brightness off, and when im on my phone the light goes dark? It did it today when i was ending a call just go very dark? It doesnt do it all the time just at random times?

This is hardware fault of LCD Display or Logic Board Display controllers. Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. See if better. If still problem and you have Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, the next step would be replacement of entire front assembly. If still problem there is no resonable fix. If you want this handled by Apple, they do not replace iPhone 4S front screens, they replace the entire iPhone 4S exactly like yours for $199.

Video/LCD config problem with x86 Sol 10 EA

I'm trying to install Sol 10 EA and the video card/screen keeps
defaulting to the minimum LCD size of 720x400,
instead of the configured size of 1280x1024.
The Solaris 10 installation says "VESA No Matching Modes".
If I set it to 640x480 the sunwindows comes up o.k.,
but does not set the LCD, so the LCD goes to the default size
of 720x400. The installation assumes a much larger size, and are
thus truncated, leaving the windows so small it is impossible
continue the installation.
The NEC manual has no way to manually override the screen size.
Hardware:
Asustek A7V400-MX
NEC LCD71V 1280x1024
'kdmconfig' shows:
Video Device: XF86-VESA VESA-compatible video cards
Screen Size: 17-inch (43 cm)
Resolution/Colors: 1024x768 - 256 colors @ 75Hz
Monitor Type: Plug and Play Mfreq 17 Inch NEC661D (up to 1280x1024 @
The only way to successfully install the system is to use the
Text-Only installer, and 'Bypass & Supress' any attempted usage of
kdmconfig. After installation, if I run kdmconfig, and get the same
problem. I want to be able to run X-Windows in 'init 2' mode.
Now all I can use is the console.
Any suggestions ?

I have seen this before with a build 63. Is yours b63?
Changing "virtual screen resolution" might help, though it did not do anything for my case.
"VESA No Matching Modes".

A possible workaround is to use XF86 drivers, so maybe use some non-vesa driver.

Quicktime Video on an LCD Projector Problems & Refresh Rate?

I'm having an issue and don't have a lot of experience with this but hopefully someone has some insight.
When i play back video (formats including DV, DV50, HDV, PRORES422 / interlaced or progressive / frame rates of 23.98 or 29.97) in full screen using Quicktime Player (version 7.4.5) and Present (Shift CMD F) to a projector, the video plays and looks good, with the exception of during certain portions of the video (generally, with a lot of motion), i see either a flicker or what appears to be a scan line, tear, or a trace that scrolls vertically up the image. The flickering/trace is consistent with regard to a particular portion of the video, though when i adjust the refresh rate for the projector, the behavior of the flicker or scrolling trace changes (say at 60hz, it scrolls slowly up vs 85hz where i see mostly flickering/tearing of the image or multiple traces scrolling up). I've tried 3 different projectors, and every combination of screen resolution and refresh rate with no success.
I should point out that when i play these videos full screen on a cinema display (20in or 23in) i don't see this behavior at all.
So, i have a few specific questions:
1. Is anyone familiar with this behavior and any solutions?
2. The projector is connected with a VGA cable and DVI adapter. Might a DVI cable resolve the issue? Is the behavior a result of the analog input? (The cinema displays are connected via DVI and don't exhibit the behavior)
3. If it is a projector issue, any recommendations on a good projector for presenting video played back from a computer?
Thanks in advance for your help. If i've posted in the incorrect forum, please do direct me to the right place.
Shane

Just a fast reply... something to think about...
Use 60hz, most lcd are 60hz. Check you resolution specs for the projector. If the native resolution is 800x600 use that setting if higher use that.....
If your using the lcd as a secondary display try setting the main display to the same specs. Sometime a mismatch between the two displays can cause problems.
Go with the lcd spec settings that's the main priority and the main display isn't.

LCD TV Problems

Hello, I have a 32 inch LCD HDTV that I decided to connect to my mac as a second monitor. I have a Powermac G5, first generation dual 1.8GHz with the stock GeForce FX5200 installed.
I bought an HDMI/DVI cable and conected the DVI to my fx5200 and connected it to my LCD TV. The problem now, is that the TV doesn't get a signal...I was once able to get the mac to recognize that there was a second, widescreen monitor attached, but I still didn't get a signal on the TV. Any ideas?

Well, I'm not entirely sure I know how I did it, but I seemed to have fixed the problem I was having with my TV. I tried plugging it into the a different HDMI port which was meant to be for DVI input. for sme reason it worked like a charm. Thanks for the quick reply anyways!
