20" ACD No Longer Displays Black Spots

Hi all!
We have a 20" ACD connected to a Mac G5/Dual 2.0 that for the longest time has displayed a series of black transparent spots in and around the monitors edges. We sent it in to Apple for repairs 2 or 3 times for this because it kept creeping up. Our designers were complaining hard. Finally the warranty expired and we were left with this problem, until now. I swapped the G5 out for a new Mac Pro and now the spots are gone! POOF!
Any one know how that possible?!?
Thanks!
M

most likely a video card issue then.
you will just have to wait and see if the spots show up again.
were they black spots like dead pixels? or did it kind of look like dirt in the screen, like kind of muddy dark spots?

  • My Ipad 2 no longer displays anything.It may come on for a few seconds,but then half of the screen goes completely black, and the system becomes non responsive to all bottons. At other times all four sides of the display becomes black, about 1/4 inch.

    Can anyone help me on this one? I got my IPAD 2 in June 2011. It never gave problems until a few days ago. It began to "hang", becoming non-responsive to all buttons. Then just yesterday morning, it went totally black. The display no longer displays. The Battery was charged 96%. I tried the power adapter, but had the same result. I tried the resetting, holding the two buttons for 10 seconds or more but no result. I have already restored it to the factory setting,(via my PC) and put back my apps etc. But after all this I still cannot see anything on the screen.
    I know it is still working, because from time to timer I hear the message alerts, and other sounds.
    Waht is the likely solution?

    Try a Reset...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
    3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

  • N9 - Black spots on display

    Hi,
    Just bough myself N9 and i just love it. One thing i noticed thouhg, that bothers me a bit, are the black areas or spots visible on dark grey backgrounds. If you start the camera on a dark room, you will notice the black spots. Is this a common issue on N9? Should i ask for a replacemet device?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Experiencing with the same issue. I have black lines on the dark grey display when phone is switching on, camera on, multitasking view (no or one/two applications on), dashboard view when empty.
    I have contacted Nokia Hungary to figure the issue out. It seems to be unbelievable why such a small display like 3.9 cannot be homogeneous!
    Image just found on internet but the problem fairly similar (hard to be taken by camera).
    Keep you posted

  • Black spot on centre of the screen

    I am getting a Black spot on the centre of the screen after every call continuosly on my Blackberry 9320 handset.( Purchased in Aug 2013 )

    Kindly help

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
    KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
    It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
    If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
    But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you may need to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions.

  • My iPod no longer displays artwork for certain albums

    Ok, so here's my problem. Every so often when I alter the artwork on my iPod with iTunes, I have to reset the artwork by clicking the "display album artwork on your iPod" checkbox in my menu, then clicking apply, and repeating the process to redisplay them. If I don't do this, sometimes I wind up with a black box where the artwork would normally be displayed when I peruse my iPod. I know that this is a common problem for some people so hopefully there are some on this site and know what I'm talking about. Anyway, to my current problem, when I attempted to do that last night, it was just about at the end of the progress bar when an error message appeared that said "The iPod 'name' cannot be synched. An unknown error occurred (-50)." So, because it didn't complete the cycle, certain albums no longer display the artwork. It's still there on my iPod when I go into iTunes, but when I go through the actual menus on my iPod such as Cover Flow etc. I instead see that annoying box with the musical note in it. Has anyone come across this problem before? I would very much appreciate a solution

    I just tried it again and this time a different message showed up "The iPod 'name' cannot be synced. The required folder cannot be found." I have no clue what folder it could be talking about.

  • Black Spots on Lumia 1020, this one is like a Mark...

    I know there are lot of posts on the same issue, the reasons still i am posting this here is for some clarifications.
    Is this a Issue with the Screen Display?
    is this common for all AMOLED screens of 1020?
    only few complain on this? Rest of the users are getting out of box no issues of any sort with display.
    I have bought this online, and i have 30 days return policy.
    can some please Suggest me? does replacement guarantee that i dont get a similar device, because everyone are saying its AMOLED thing,  Please advice.
    Please Note, this is visible only during Complete darkness in the room, during nights, GLANCE screen makes it visible, CORTANA screen Makes it Visible and some Third party App screens with Greyish or blackish backgrounds makes it Visible.
    This is annoying and takes of the experience of having this awesome device.
    Is this COMMON or RARE Situation what i have, sorry i did not use proper punctuation and grammar as i am sad and confused.

    Hi Prashanth, I got replacement yesterday and this one is better than the previous one. i hardly  see any spots with naked eye during regular use under low light conditions, if i focus during the night on black screen i see few tiny specs. but they dont bother me anymore while watching videos or in pitch black env.
    i am not gonna care much now, and make peace with this replacement, learnt that its very hard to get a AMOLED screen with zero black spots.
    Hope it helps.

  • Macbook pro 17 dispaly black spots

    have a glossy screen 17 inch mb pro. In the middle of the screen some light grey black spots have appeared. they seem to be under the screen but over the underlying image etc. has anyone else had this problem??

    Hi,
    I had the same thing happen to my MBP. They changed my display, but unfortunately I got one of these horrible, grainy displays that everybody is talking about. I am trying to figure out which model was originally in my laptop, since the quality was much better (except for the gray spots that appeared). Do you know what model you have in your MBP?
    Cheers,
    Olivier

  • In OS 10.6 and Safari 6, http: and https: are no longer displayed.

    In OS 10.6 and Safari 6, http: and https: are no longer displayed.
    Can this behaviour be restored??
    In 10.5.8 with Safari 5.x some sites will show up as https: while the same
    site in Safari 6 may, or may not, show the grey or green box https: box.
    Is this this a certificate problem?
    Can I set the address bar to for the URL prefix?
    I have both systems on separate disks and consistantly see this behaviour on some sites.
    How can I feel assured that a site is or is not secure using Safari 6??
    A relative also shares this same issue
    Thanks for your Help!

    Safari 6 : http is not shown in the URL (& Search combined) bar, but https is always shown, often with a symbol lock. The URL address font is black, after the / it is grey.
    All as expected.
    Best.

  • Black spot on screen mac book air

    Black spot on screen. I stepped on the edge of it. It looks ink puddle

    elevatorman36
    I stepped on the edge of it.
    Yes, when it looks like blue and purple ink spot/spill that means you destroyed the LCD display,
    it cannot be repaired, the monitor assy. must be replaced.
    Contact Apple for appt. to replace your monitor.  

  • Black spot on the camera

    Two random black spots appeared on my camera display, the phone didn't get wet or anything, seems like dirt from the inside...  should I take it to apple's customers service? anybody with the same problem?
    thank you

    I have the same issue - perhaps not exact but extremely similar.  In photo mode, there is a small purplish speck, which I initially thought as dust or something, and of course it ends of in photos taken.  However, this speck is not present in video mode, meaning there is no dust, but some sort of artifact on the photo processor or something.  Either way, itsa product defect - I plan on seeing if Apple will support this and replace thephone.....

  • Anyone ever had black spots or dark spots?

    anyone ever had black spots or dark spots on their ipods screen. Any gen.

    I have the same problem theres dark spots under the screen and it no longer works. Ipod will not fix it even though i took very good care of my ipod and it dosent even have the slightest scratch on the exterior. I think ipod should fix this because it is obviously a defect and not caused by abuse.

  • Printing song collections no longer displays artwork

    When I add music to my iTunes collection, I create a PDF of the song collection. The resulting PDF has always displayed the album art on the left, and the song list on the right for every album/song in the library.
    Ever since the 10.2.1 upgrade, the album art no longer displays...there's an empty box in the spot on the left where the art should be.
    Adobe reader properly displays all other PDF's I create, and properly displays the art in previous PDF's that I've created, so the problem appears to be isolated to iTunes 10.2.1.
    Has anyone else encountered this, and have you found a solution?
    Thanks in advance!

    Well, when I saw the popup advising me that 10.2.2 was available, I went ahead and did the update, hoping it would resolve the issue with missing artwork in a printed list of albums/songs, but no go - it still delivers nothing but an empty box where the artwork should be. I did follow Ed's advice and follow the link he provided to report the issue, and I suspect I'm not alone in having done so.
    What I don't get is that printing has always worked perfectly until 10.2.1, which is when the artwork disappeared...it should have been a simple matter to examine that subroutine in the code and write a correction.
    Perhaps it's time to look for an iTunes alternative....it seems iTunes just isn't "all that", after all?

  • Firefox no longer displays Youtube videos. How do I fix this?

    Firefox 8.0 on 64-bit Windows 7 no longer displays Youtube videos. I get a solid black rectangle where the video should be. How do I fix this?

    Answers in this forum have shown different things have worked for different people.
    For some disabling hardware acceleration for Flash helps. To do that right-click on a Flash video, select Settings, go to the first tab of the settings for the option to enable/disable hardware acceleration for Flash. This is something recommended by YouTube for those having problems - http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?&answer=1209379
    Clearing YouTube cookies and the cache has also helped some. For details of how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Deleting+cookies and https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+clear+the+cache
    Others had to go a step further after deleting YouTube cookies and block YouTube from saving cookies. In the Tools menu select Options to open the Options window. Go to the Privacy panel and make sure it is set to "Use custom setting for history". Click the Exceptions button, type in http://www.youtube.com and click on Block

  • 24" LED with a tiny black spot. Will Apple fix it?

    Hello.
    I got a tiny black spot on my LED display. It's slightly larger than a pixel, which is really annoying. It might be some kind of dust behind the glass. The monitor is about 1.5 year old. Of course this happens when the warranty is out. Will Apple repair this for free or do you think they will charge for it?
    Thanks.

    I've never heard of Applecare + - "only in the US with AppleCare+ are 2 incidents of accidental damage covered (for a fee)."
    What do you know about it? I've bought Applecare for every machine for years and years.
