All the white areas of my display are a rapidly flashing pink grid! What did I knock loose?

I have a mid-2010 Macbook Pro 15-inch. I installed a Seagate 1TB SSHD into the optical drive slot a few months ago. It stopped working so I removed for return. I closed the thing up, turned it on, and suddenly (almost) all white spaces on my screen are now pink! A flashing pink grid, to be precise. For example, white icons on my desktop have a few flashing pink artifacts, and most of the white areas on pages in my browser (Chrome) are almost entirely pink.
I've opened the laptop many times before to install ram, HDDs, etc and I've never had any issue. FWIW, a few months ago the logic board was replaced by Apple due to the infamous graphics switching error.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? Could I have knocked something loose? Touched the wrong thing? Shocked the logic board?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have this exact problem - light gray is fine. Goes to pure white, and it raidly flashes a pink grid. Your post is the ONLY one I have seen just like it. And, I noticed no replies. What did you do to remedy? Or, did you find out it was a fatal problem? Any insight would be helpful before I go spend a lot on diagnostics...

In Bridge I cannot find Lightroom as a program to open files. All the other programs like photoshop etc are indicated?

You would go into Preferences > File Type Associations and from the dropdown menu and choose "Browse" to get to Lightroom.
So yes you can set files that Lightroom supports to open from Bridge into Lightroom.
But I don't think you'd want to.
Lightroom is a standalone product for a Photography workflow. Bridge is a manager for Creative suite products like Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign. Basically web and print design workflows.
Bridge is not a manager for Lr because Lr has it's own catalog system.
Lightroom is not a Creative Suite product.
Bridge does use Adobe Camera Raw to make adjustments, but move those adjusted files into Lr, you have to make a decision whose settings stay.
This video should explain the difference.

Assuming this is an iCloud mail account, sign out of iCloud in its preference pane, then sign back in with the new password.

HT201359 how can i find out what all the charges on my checking account are for?

how can i find out what all the charges on my checking account are for?

If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases - the most recent purchase is above the list. I'm not sure if that shows auto-renewing subscriptions (I don't have any so I can't check).
If you can't find the charges and you haven't added or changed your card details on your account (when you do then a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the details are correct and valid, which should disappear within a few days) then you can contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

The white colors in my screen are to bright. Help

The white colors in my screen are to bright. There is no difference between different colors of white so I lose a lot of detail in images. What can I do. When I put my mac to sleep it was ok for a while but when I restarted my computer I lost it again.

Brightness adjusts the blacks, contrast adjusts the whites.
for a quick adjustment look at this 26 step chart
A should be 255
Z should be 0

Hi all, Since I updated to Mavericks I am having trouble with Safari showing all the buttons/clickable options, but they are gray and will not work. Specifically, the Trash Can/Delete and the "Move to" folder button simply do not work. Any ideas?

I don't know if it will work, but try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

HT202879 Since opening an existing Pages doc, all the previously centred images and tables are now too far to the rights - leaving a large blank space to the left of each page. Any ideas reducing?

Since opening an existing Pages doc, all the previously centred images and tables are now too far to the rights - leaving a large blank space to the left of each page. Any ideas re fixing this? Problem remains even when I open an earlier version on the previous version of Pages

It has always been that the upgrade tries to be the "master" over the older version.
Anyway in Pages 09 you have probably the Comments field showing, making all contetn to move to the right.

Why do all the white colours in my animated GIF files look grey?

Why have all the white colours in my GIF files look grey? It is only apparant once published, and can change from browser to browser? (firefox tends to work, but not chrome)
They should have white backgrounds. I have played with just about every setting when exporting the GIF in photoshop. And seems to work fine.

Hi Holy,
Your site looks good to me when I check it on Chrome, Screen shot: http://project02.businesscatalyst.com/Jing/2013-10-24_1917.png
Your gif also looks fine in chrome check this Small Video: http://project02.businesscatalyst.com/Jing/2013-10-24_1916.swf
Please check on any other machine and see if you can see gray background. Also, make sure you have the latest version of chrome installed.

Oh, look around on this forum. Someone else had the same question and it was answered. It just takes a little time to set and should be fine.

Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider.
