20" display screen now has black border

My screen suddenly has about a 2" border of black on each side and a 1" black border on top and bottom. Toolbar, desktop picture, etc. all show up as normal. However, I am only able to use about 60% of the screen. In some apps such as Quicken, I can't reach the sizer because the bottom of checkbook register is now in the black part. May not even be a prob. w/the display, because altho the screen of the PC itself has no black border, the images in some apps are cropped as described above. I have tried changing display preferences and black border remains. Ideas/solutions will be v. much appreciated.

Sounds like you'll have to take it in to the Apple store for service. This happened to my wife's iPhone and they just replaced it.

  • I dropped my mac book pro and the screen now has black and coloured lines in the corner. what is it and how can i fix it?

    I dropped my mac book pro and the screen has now got a black rectangle and pink and green lines down it. What is it and how do i fix it?

    Sounds like the display got damaged. Connect an external display and see if that's OK. If that's OK then the display is probably damaged. You can try reseating the LVDS connector but if that doesn't help the connections on the display body are very difficult to get to. Apple would just replace the entire display and that's what I would do as well.

  • My iPhone went through the wash. It works but the display screen is still black.

    My phone seems to work but the display screen is still black.

    I'm sorry to hear that. If the display isn't working you can take the phone somewhere to see if they can fix the display.
    I would honestly take it to Apple and get it swapped out for a new iPhone. It will cost you money because liquid damage is accidental so it wouldn't be a free switch out they would charge you for an out of warranty price. That is the best way. The only reason they switch out the iPhone is because liquid damage in unpredictable of what it damaged.
    Hope this helps.

  • Youtube video has black border around it

    I impoted a short clip from my camera (640x480 4:3 ratio) into the organizer, then from there opened a premiere elements project and shared the video to Youtube.  The video in premiere element looks fine, it has black stripes on the left and right sides which I think is normal given the source resolution/ratio.  The final video on Youtube, however, has a larger black border around the entire video, including black space at the top and bottom. Why is this, how can I get rid of this extra border?

    This usually indicates a mismatch between your source video and your project settings.
    Which camcorder model did your video come from and how did you get it into your computer?
    When you started your Premiere Elements project, which project settings did you select?
    My free Basic Training tutorials on Premiere Elements support site Muvipix.com will show you how to set up a project properly.

  • Nokia 6085 Blank Display screen now after start up...

    Phone is two months old. Worked fine. Now all of a sudden, for no apparent reason,
    the display screen, is lit up, but, blank. Can't get Nokia greeting, nothing. Can call out,
    can receive calls, but, can't view screen. Removed battery, for whole night, put back in. Sim card is
    fine...still...blank screen.
    Need help...any suggestions., or is the phone just useless now?
    Thanks in advance to anyone for your time.
    Very disappointed.

    w0nderw0man, the 3-finger reset will not work for S40 phones like yours. It's only for Symbian phones like the N-series, E-series, 5800, etc.
    If there's a blank screen, it's best taken care of by a Nokia Care Point.
    I would suggest that you get a new phone instead of repairing the 6085, because the repair costs in most cases as much as a new phone of similar or better features. Just my two cents.

  • Recently dropped i phone 4 down the toilet, screen now has vertical lines on when i fire up??

    I recently accidently dropped my iphone down the toilet, within seconds i retrieved but it shut down, i put in a tub with riceand left for at least 24 hrs, although i turned on and still seemed to have some moisture as the camera lens showed water in it, the screen then came on with a thick white line down the centre, I am assuming this is the white apple sign which comes on when started up, then this cahnged to just a full screen of vertical black lines (like a barcode).  I had a passlock on the phone which i managed to unlock as it appears that everything is working behind the screen, just hoping its just an LCD problem and maybe a new screen but dont want to wast my money if not going to work??? I have upgraded and now have an Iphone 5s. I am gutted as there wasnt a mark on the iphone4 and would love to be able to have it fully functional again, any help would be appreciated...

    Replacing the LCD alone won't cut it. The internal electronic components got wet and you powered the iPhone back on while the internal components were still wet. 24 hours wasn't near enough time.

  • Ipad mini froze during ios 8.3 can't do anything frozen on apple screen now has white background and black apple can anyone help

    I have an ipad mini ran the ios 8.3 update all going fine then on the last part it decided to freeze on the apple logo screen.  The screen has changed colour, the screen is white and the apple logo is black now.  I cannot do anything with it, I tried to restore through iTunes but nothing happens.  I tried to connect to iTunes holding down the home key but that didn't work.  Anyone have any other suggestions.

    Try to reset the device:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • Display doesn't fit screen now. Black bar an inch wide on right side of screen on Satellite L655

    The right side of my screen has a blacdk bar about an inch wid.  It is like the display ends an inch before it actaully does on the right hand side.  Also the taskbar is below the bottong of my screen and I cannot see it.  I have tried to adjust the screen resolution and every other option the control panel offers but nothing changes it.  The last time I had my laptop on it was fine.  I turned it on yesterday and have had it shut down and restarted multiple times and every time since yesterday afternoon the screen is showing wrong.   How do I fix this issue?

    I know this is an old thread, but hopefully you'll get my message.  Did you ever sresolve this problem?  I have exactly the same issue. Thanks, Kevin

  • Ipad was working fine and now has black screen and wont turn off or on or do anything

    Ipad was working fine and now is a black screen. Won't do anything now

    Is it charged? If not charge it with the supplied charger.
    If charged, have you tried resetting your iPad?
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • IMac won't boot past white screen, now has partial pixelation?

    I have just tried to restart my 2011 iMac and it has become stuck on the initial white screen (before the grey spinning gear) prior to the reboot it had being running fine for about 4 hours.
    I initially thought that it may be trying to boot from the scratched PS2 game I had in the drive (was experimenting with PCSX2 before the reboot) I have tried every button combination I can find to eject the disk or boot into a different OS, I have also tried resetting the SMC and PRAM (I didn't get the 2nd beep) but to no avail. I have also taken out the extra 4gb of memory I installed to go back to the stock 4gb and swapped the stock 4gb for the new RAM but this hasn't helped either.
    I have also noticed there is a small line of pixelation at the bottom of the screen, the high of it varies but it is usually around 4 pixels high, some of them are random colours but most of them are black, does this mean the graphics card has gone?

    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • HT201412 Why can't I get my iPad to go past the apple logo? The screen now has crazy lines all over it. Can't restore cause computer doesn't recognize it in device list.

    When I was updating iPad 2 to newest iOS I interrupted the update by doing a reset. Now I can't do anything. Won't even show up as device on my computer so I can do a restore. Worked perfectly before I tried to do the update. I thought the update was messing up cause it seemed frozen about 1/4 way on the line that advances when you do an update. I held down home and power buttons for about 10 seconds and now there are colored lines and such moving across the screen. Can't do a restore from backup cause device not recognized. Other iPads are recognized so it's clearly the particular iPad that has the problem. What can I do?

    Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • Iphone screen now has a boarder of "dead" pixles help

    my ipone 3gs is working fine but the visable screen has shrunk so there is a 1mm frame of dead pixles surrounding the display .
    does any one else have this problem or better still know how to fix it?

    If no change after the standard troubleshooting steps which in order are power your iPhone off and on, an iPhone reset, restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, and restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, more than likely your iPhone has a hardware failure. The iPhone includes a one year warranty. You can call AppleCare, or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby, or the carrier for your iPhone may handle iPhone warranty claims.
