2005fpw via DVI: very slight flicker and annoying sound

I might just be paranoid, but ...
1) Does anyone using a Dell 2005fpw with the Mac Mini via DVI sometimes see the screen flicker ever so slightly? It's not so much a flicker as a pulse (screen gets a tiny bit brighter, then back to "normal" again). It usually happens only when the monitor wakes from sleep, and goes away after a few seconds, or sometimes a restart will do the trick (thus maybe a video card problem?).
2) Also, do you notice a brief buzzing sound (such as when you turn on a TV) when the monitor comes out of sleep? I just never knew an LCD to make that sound.
3) Has anyone yet to find a way to dim the backlight (not only for a darker screen, but to save on backlight life as well)?
Thanks for any help.

1) No. Sounds like you could have an electronic component problem or one that is out of tolerance range. Could be as simple as a bad ballast capacitor on the inverter PCB. If it annoys you to no end you could do a warranty swap. But if not I usually recommend against such swaps as you get a refurbished monitor in exchange which could have a separate problem lurking in the background waiting to rear its head down the road.
I swapped a 2001FP for bad pixels and got a zero bad pixel refurbished unit in exchange, but the analogue VGA driver was faulty. Not a problem because I drive it through the DVI connector. This monitor strangely enough only on the PC will exhibit the screen blanking problem which is a faulty cap on the circuit board that needs replacing. I can use the custom Nvidia settings to back the frequency down to eliminate the symptoms on the PC. Strangely enough when my mini is driving that monitor it doesn't exhibit the error. The minis electrical levels through the DVI port must be different.
2) No. This is also what makes me believe you just got one off the line with a out of spec or faulty component. Again, is this a critical problem for you is the ultimate question.
3) You have a backlight setting which is not very useful as far as the dynamic range of values. More can be done in the menu system by using User Defined R,G,B colour values and bring them down, this will give you the dimming power you are most likely searching for.
There are speciality LCD repair shops that do mostly laptop work that have a lot of experience fixing the various manufacturing problems and some are skilled enough to dissolve a heavily scratched plastic coating off the LCD matrix and float on a new plastic coating for you. I would recommend talking to them if you really love your monitor and/or don't want to go the risk of refurbed unit exchange route.

  • I am trying to hook my macbook pro to a sony bravia TV via DVI to HDMI cable and the TV will not recognize the signal. The same set up has worked with three other, though different televisions. Any thoughts?

    I am trying to hook my MacBook Pro to a Sony Bravia TV via DVI to HDMI cable and the TV will not recognize the signal. I have used the same setup with three other TV's, each a different brand with no problem. Any ideas?

    Is the TV set to take input from the HDMI connection?
    On your computer, if you open the Displays preferences and do not see an Arrangement tab (or there is an Arrangement tab that shows only a single monitor) then there is something physically wrong with your connection.  Try clicking Detect Displays just to see if the computer can now sense the presence of the connection.  Check your connections.
    If you do have an Arrangement tab, and it shows two screens, then click Gather Windows to bring the TV's Displays preferences on to your main screen if the TV is not yet showing an image.  Set the proper resolution (probably 720p, 1080i, or 1080p).  Set the refresh rate (probably 60Hz) if that preference is shown.  You should see a picture at this point.  I  recommend turning off mirrored displays if it is enabled.

  • New and annoying sounds texting

    Since the latest upgrade in firmware my iPhone 4 makes a sound when I am texting when getting or receiving texts. I have all messaging notifications turned off. Anyone know how to get rid of this?

    I thought "feedback" was only for issues relating to the forums themselves, not individual problems with hardware or software of apple products?
    In any event, even if this is an intentional design feature, it's very irritating. :\ Why someone would choose to include noise when a text is sent, but have it optional to have the sound disabled when one is received is beyond me. I really hope the sending text noise becomes optional in the next update!
    Even the auto vibrate when the switch it flipped to mute is irritating.

  • IMac and LG Sound Bar

    Hi,
    I have a late 2012 iMac 27-inch. I have an LG Sound bar that I want to use with the Mac for watching movies and playing music etc. I have paired the sound bar with the Mac via Bluetooth, it pairs fine and the sound comes through. However, the sound is not in sync with whats on the screen. When I used the sound bar on the tv I was able to access the menu and adjust sync etc either through the TV or the sound bar but the sound bar menu does not come up on the Mac screen when paired (I'm not surprised by this, I didn't expect it to). Any advice on syncing sound on an iMac or how to do it another way? Any help much appreciated!

    This site covers JP1 programming, which is the connector in the battery compartment:http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/ I don't know if there is an existing code that may work, and you could do some key mapping to put the codes on the volume keys. Othewise, you would have to add your own upgrade using a JP1.x cable. You can ask on the forums to see if anyone knows something. I didn't see an obvious upgrade in the files section. Some of the more advanced people can use files from other remotes to create upgrades.

    If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
    Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
    A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
    B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
    C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
    D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
    E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
    http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
    F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
    Intermediate Level
    A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
    B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    For Window computer
    Go to folder “My Computer”
    Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
    Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
    Now select “Format”
    Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.

    C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    Tips
    a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
    b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
    c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

    Advance Level
    A. Diagnostic mode solution
    If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
    You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
    Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
    iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
    The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
    iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
    You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
    Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
    B. Format your iPod with a start disk
    I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
    If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
    Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
    In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ or ifixit at your own risk

    Just in case that you are at the following situation
    Your iPod warranty is expired
    You don’t want to pay any service charges
    You are prepared to buy a new one

    Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
    You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
    Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level

    1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
    In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
    Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

    Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
    Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

  • Very slight stuttering on video?

    Hi,
    Yesterday I finally went out and bought myself a Mini 1.83GHZ standard model with no RAM upgrades or the like.
    So I have connected it via a DVI-HDMI cable to my Samsung TV. Please bear in mind that I bought the Mini purely for my DVD collection. I have a Lacie 500GB 7200RPM HD plugged into it via USB and have created aliases to these movies (Video TS files) in my Movie Folder on the Mini.
    Picture is fantastic and I am very happy. However every couple of minutes I get a very slight stuttering of the video as though the HD is not being read fast enough or it is dropping frames ever so slightly! I must stress that it is *very very* slight to the point I had to watch different videos for around 1 hour to ensure it wasn't my eyes playing tricks on me. After watching carefully there is definitely a tiny problem and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if so is there a solution.
    Thanks in advance

    Okay so I tried with a DVD directly and still the same problem...then started to worry that maybe it's a broken Mini!
    Decided to go into screen settings and change it to 60Hertz (NTSC) instead of 50Hertz (PAL) and it seems to have resolved the problem. It's strange because I live in the UK and just assumed it should be set to PAL. I can only guess that the slight stuttering problem was to do with the refresh rate on the TV?!
    Now I have one other problem (seems to be ongoing), I have just bought a mini adapter for my optical cable and it is working through my Yamaha amp (the sound is there) but it's not 5.1 surround it's only Dolby ProLogic...any ideas on this problem?

  • TV & monitor connected via DVI to VGA & DVI cable. Wont display

    I have my TV & monitor connected to my mini via DVI(input) to> VGA(output) & DVI(output) splitter cable. I cant get both tv and monitor to work at the same time only one or the other. How can I get this to work?
    Note: I dont want a continuous display, I just want one to show the same as the other. If there both plugged in why dont they both work?

    The answer to your question would require having a block diagram of the mini's graphics sub-system. If the DAC (digital-to-analog converter) behind the VGA port is just driven from the same output as the TMDS transmitter behind the DVI port, then I agree it would be possible that both could output the same screen simultaneously. But if the VGA and DVI ports are treated as seperate channels all the way back to video memory, then likely one would be prioritized over the other, only one could be active, and they would not be able to output simultaneously.
    Another potential problem is that TVs and computer monitors generally want to run at very different formats and they require different signal types to be happy. A TV will want an interlaced output whereas a computer monitor will not. And a TV will want a very low resolution, like 640 x 480, whereas a computer monitor will be happiest at a much higer resolution.
    I hope for you that someone else has this working and chimes in with some practical advice. I try to avoid making posts where I have no practical advice to offer and only bad news, but in this case I thought you might want to know about some potential barriers to success. Good luck.

  • MacBook to TV via DVI strange for DVD full screen

    The TV has the same resolution as the MacBook (1024x768).
    The display works fine via DVI.
    DVDs displayed inside a window are ok.
    However, when playing a DVD full screen, after a few seconds the visible image part of the movie moves to the top of the TV screen (having a small part, the very top, not visible anymore on TV) - while the MacBook still shows correctly the movie (with the image centered vertically).
    It seems this is caused by the way the DVD player "hides" the commands (in full screen) a few seconds after the user stops moving the mouse. It seems the commands are displayed "below" the visible part of the movie on the Mac - while the TV "tries" to display it anyway, thus moves the whole 1/3 to the top.
    Since the TV shows the correct screen when not playing DVD full screen, it is likely to be a problem with the DVD player.
    Is there a particular setting I should focus on?

    Are you using your external screen in Mirrored Mode? If so, the TV resolution and the MacBook will have the same resolution (1280 x 800 max.). If you uncheck mirrored in Display Preferences, you'll be able to get your TV's maximum resolution. This would be called extended view. Or, you could use it in [Closed Clamshell Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3131].

  • UXGA via DVI on G3ti200-Pro TD?

    Hi,
    I'm the proud owner of an MSI G3Ti200 proTD vga card,
    I bought it almost 1 year ago, and never a glitch, never a fault. This card works flawlessly.
    but I have a question to you guys (especially technically skilled onez)
    QUESTION 1)
    I'd like to buy a new TFT monitor, but I don't know if my card will support it.
    I see it does have a DVI-I connector, but there's not mention about the maximum resolution on the manual or on the msi website.
    can I run it at 1600 x 1080 (UXGA) via DVI ?
    QUESTION 2)
    I see that my card is Apple compatible... (I'm reading from the supplied manual "Mac OS compatible")
    and apple is making this astonishing 20" which runs at 1680 x 1024 and its price is very good for a 20" digital TFT display.
    Can I use it with the DVI-ator (ADC -> DVI+USB converter) on my G3ti200 Pro TD?
    can I do that?
    Please help me, because I wouldn't like to change my videocard since, it's very good and stable.
    thank you for your answers!
    ciao!

    it will be fine
    any modern gf cards fine,older tnt2 can be gpx4 but not all are

  • Very slight delay in live recording

    Hi.
    I am running LE with an Alexis Multimix 8 Firewire control mixer. I am getting a very slight delay over the monitor speakers and in headphones when speaking into mic or playing guitar when a track is record enabled. This is annoying. I do not get this delay when using Cubase LE which came with the mixer. Being new, I guess you might call what I am looking for is a "dry" sound. I have tinkered and read the manual adnauseum to no avail. Is this due to a "processing" delay through LE? Is there a record or monitoring setting that will alleviate this problem?
    Thanks,

    Connecting my monitor via VGA I get a max. resolution of 1680x1050 (max of monitor).
    With my former laptop of FSC I could use the monitor via VGA in the highest resolution.
    Can you please help me to get the high resolution via DVI?
    Thank you very much for your help in advance,
    Scorino

    Hello,
    the Docking station is using dual link DVI.
    The docking station has two Display Ports...one under each DVI port.
    Currently I don't own a display port adapter and no display with a display port.
    Furthermore DVI dual link should be able to get a resolution of 2048 x 1536 Pixel, not 1280 x 1024.
    I would like to use this docking station with DVI and high resolution (Full HD).
    Currently I don't understand why this is not possible.
    My last laptop was able to produce Full HD to my displays via the same cable.
    Just the Laptop and the docking station changed. I'm sorry that I cannot connect DVI directly to the laptop, because there is no port available.
    Thanks for your answer in advance.

  • Why is it that when I connect my iPhone 5S to my Windows Vista computer, the photos made with my iPhone are all of very low quality and most of them are turned upside down?

    On another note, the iPhone tells me that it's ''busy'' when opening a photo on the computer.
    (I tried restarting my PC, connecting via another USB port, importing using PhotoStream, etc...)

    Are you using the front or rear camera? When you say they are low quality, are you referring to file/pixel size, or how the picture looks? As far as upside down, how are you holding the phone? Older versions of Windows have issues reading the Metadata from the pictures and will not display the same.
