Another Nano Screen Problem!

About a week ago, i put my nano in my pocket. A few minutes later, i took it out. When i took it out of my pocket and turned it on, it looked like the bottom half of the screen was a bar code. It looks as though the top half has been smeared onto the bottom. The music still plays and such, but i cant read anything on the screen. Ive been looking all week for someone else with a post about this and found nothing. Anybody else have this problem?

Huge Ipod nano screen problem

I have a big problem with the iPod Nano screen. It just doesn't work. I have tried reseting the ipod, restoring it but it just doesn't work.
It is not a screen problem because when I plug it on to the PC the screen lightens up with just white on it.
I could listen to the song by "blindly" selecting Shuffle. But now I can't even do that.
I would REAALY appreaciate any help.

If you can get one sent or brought down to you, you can replace it yourself It is not that hard to do, or I am sure you can find someone to do it for you. I live in Mexico and it is hard to get parts to us, there is also no repair place close, but we have people come from the states every once and awhile and they bring us parts so we can repair our own. Go on ebay and you will find screens for under 15 dollars U.S. and it comes with the tools that you will need to open your nano. Hope this helps.

TS3474 IPod Nano screen problem

There is a growing series of white lines on my nano screen. Why is this and how can it be fixed?

If none of the 5 R's of troubleshooting address the issue, it's likely a hardware malfunction with the nano's LCD screen.

Another Black Screen problem ��

Hi guys,
I got an iPhone 4 like 2 months ago, which was working fine until a few days ago. What happened is, I texted to a friend with WhatsApp then left iPhone for a couple of minutes and the screen never came back. At first I think the handset wasn't working cause i was not reachable when i called myself, then I restarted it, without seeing anything just used my imagination :) but I am not really sure about it, I might also have a coverage problem.
Now I can see the icons barely with the right light angle, handset is fully operational as I understand. I can make and receive calls. I have reinstalled the iOS in iTunes, which was another headache, but I'd didn't help. Another interesting thing is it just doesn't hard reset itself. I have tried to do it several times, pushed the buttons until I see the apple logo but it just started with everything in place.
I also tried to increase and decrease the backlight thing in the settings, of course it didn't help.
Now I am going to Spill the beans out: I dropped the iPhone like a week before all this happened. But it worked completely fine until a few days ago!!!
Since there is no Apple Store in my country and I don't have AppleCare :( what do you suggest me to do?
Thank you very much in advance

If it goes out a fourth time, I would recommend calling and asking for Customer Relations and ask them to replace the iBook instead of doing another repair. It has been known to happen.
Meanwhile, you can minimize the chance of the logic board failing again by never picking it up by the left front corner alone. If you are picking it up with your left hand only (as I often do), be sure to pick it up in the center, under the track pad. The case flexing on the left side from picking it up by the left front corner can cause the graphics chip to come unsoldered from the logic board. This is what causes the familiar logic board failure.
Good luck. Let's hope you don't have any more trouble with it.

Nano screen problems

I'm new to these forums as I was researching the possibility of purchasing a Nano for myself after buying a mini for my daughter last year--should have bought 2. The reason I am here is because many people have told me to stay away from the nano beacuse of video/screen/pixel problems/issues with their nano----and after reading here all these problems, these concerns are legit.
Am I mistaken but are these problems not covered with the warranty? if so, and if Apple knows about these problems why should I - or anyone else- go out and spend all this money if theres a good chance I will end up with a problem????
Is this overstating the problem ???? I really do want a nano but not to throw away money--please help!!!
thanks

"please help!!!"
Help with what? You seem to have already convinced yourself that the nano is not worth buying.
"many people have told me to stay away from the nano beacuse of video/screen/pixel problems/issues with their nano"
Video issues? With a nano? If "people" are trying to hack the nano in order to playback videos on it, then it's not surprising that they are encountering problems.
"and after reading here all these problems, these concerns are legit."
It's a technical support problem, what else would you expect? My local hospital is full of people who are ill. Does that mean everyone else is? No one comes here to post "hey, my iPod is working just great".
"Is this overstating the problem ????"
Yes.
"I really do want a nano"
Then get one. There are millions of nanos out there working just fine.

Anyone else having Nano screen problems?

I have had my new nano for one whole day, and already when I turn it on, there is a big blank band going across the middle of my screen blocking about 1/5 of the ipod screen itself. It hasn't been dropped, kicked, knocked into, sat on, or rained on. I've barely even used it. Is anyone else having this problem?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try these two solutions...

If neither works then you probably just got a faulty iPod to begin with, and I'd recommend an exchange, which any retailer should have no problem with.

IPod Nano 5th Gen Screen Problems

I have only been using my nano 5G for less than a month and I'm facing screen problems. Two horizontal lines appear about one centimeter from the bottom of the screen similar the where the older nano 4G screen borders. Anyone else faced this same problem? I really hate to have to put all my music back after getting it repaired.

When you reinstalled iTunes 8, did you use it on one of the newer 5th gen ipod Nanos, or a previous model ipod?
From all I'm reading everywhere, this new iTunes 9 is a real mess! I'm planning on re-installing back to
iTunes 8 soon ... I can't stand the slow speed and crappy user interface Apple did on this latest version. It looks like a bunch of high school kids put iTunes 9 together, definitely not an Apple quality
product.

How to How to install ATI Radeon HD2600 driver on bootcamp 3.0 windows 7 partition w/black screen problem

Ok....so i've posted this question in a different way, and i gotten several "scratch the surface" answers from people just saying to install "Ati catalyst", or insert the os x dvd and run set up.exe, and update to boot camp 3.1 or 3.2...while these all seem like great suggestions, I am finding myself needing more specific direction or "hand holding" so to speak.....here is the MAIN problem...
The Background/history
I used boot camp (3.0, and i found updates for 3.1 for imac and for windows, but can't find for mac pro, AND they all are ".exe" files which run on windows..which as you'll see is the big part of my problem...So I recently updated my mac pro (with the ATI Radeon HD2600 graphic PCIe card with 10.6.7 from 10.5.8. I created a single partitioned drive to install windows 7 professional 64 bit. The download software function didn't work (Thanks, APPLE for that poor level of support) so have to select the option that i have already downloaded, or have other media with the drivers already on it....i restarted with the windows 7 disk in....
The installation of Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
So the installation of windows 7 seemed to go flawlessly, was able to use my existing 23" hd apple cinema display (so somehow it has drivers that work with the graphics card, or maybe the motherboard's on board video components) and i select english, and install now, custom, blah, blah, blah...installation causes a few reboots, then restarts ultimately back in os x since that is the default boot os i use on this desk top and have to do the "opt" button to select booting in windows....so when i try restarting in windows, now using the actual boot drive on which i am installing it, it ran through another reboot or two, but then after that, my display goes black.... in the communities, the solution sounds super simple... "go download the ATI catalyst for the black screen problem....windows 7 doesn't have device drivers that work with the ATI radeon hd2600...no problem, just go download and install...."
The problem, re-emphasized : I cannot even finish the install for windows, because of this driver problem....i cannot see anything....I have tried to reboot in safe mode, and that then seems to invoke whatever basic drivers that do work, likely through the motherboards onboard video vs the actual graphic card, and the screen works and says that it's wanting to complete the installation, so i'm thinking awesome this is gonna work....and then.. "windows installation was not completed and cannot be completed in SAFE MODE, need to restart, blah, blah, blah" pops up...and forces reboot...so Safe Mode allows me to see, but won't allow me to finish the install of windows 7...and without completing the install i can't run (ranther I DONT KNOW HOW TO) any of the various .exe files everyone is telling me are the solutions to my problem...like update 3.1 and 3.2 bootcamp...they're all .exe files? not sure why, because bootcamp runs in 10.6.7 i thought, but whatever...it needs running Windows to execute...then the ATI radeon hd2600 driver for windows 7 that i downloaded from the site has an installation program that is an .exe file, which needs windows to run... Does this make sense, why i can't just use these fixes, that seem to be the only fixes out there....so can someone school me step by step here (not just the highlights) of how to update bootcamp, and how to install the ati radeon driver without having been able to complete the windows 7 installation because the monitor goes and stays black????
This is so very frustrating for the record...and any substantial help "not just go download this..." would be immensely appreciated.
Some other things i've been told to try that i've tried and nothing seems to happen as i'm told it will....
---I've been told to install the osx dvd and run "setup.exe" - AGAIN...it's an exe file...and 2 - when i put in the os x file it just wants to re install 10.6...so need more help if this is even a real solution to understand how to make it work...
---I've been told to update boot camp to 3.1 and/or 3.2 from 3.0, using Apple Software Update....Well, my software update is saying everything is up to date and there is nothing new to download at all, and when i reverify the bootcamp version it is still only 3.0.2...and again downloading the updates from www.apple.com/support/ for 3.1 and 3.2...all of those are .exe files...need windows to run them...again, refer to the problem described in detail above...
---I've been referred to the black screen on imac early 2011 thread saying it should fix my problem...and reading it it SEEMED like the most promising resolution...it involves creating a boot flash drive for windows 7 and an xml file that sets the imac drivers to auto install during the windows installation..and it got me farther than anything else..but still ultimately ended up in the darned black screen...my assumption is that it's because it's for imac and not mac pro so not ati-radeon specific drivers....ok....that's enough..please...anyone who thinks they can help...your help is desperately needed...thanks so much in advance!

hey Hatter, thanks so much for getting back...so just to be super clear...is there no way to install the drivers using an exe file given my current state? no way to do it with command prompt or something? if can make work with existing card, i'd prefer it...now when you say it's 'toast' how do you mean? it works well with the os x partitions and always has...so i'm not sure i follow, just want to be clear...
Now to your point of starting with only the one drive installed...so i would put that bootcamp drive in bay 1 and disconnect the rest...i'm not totally sure what you're suggesting the effect should be of doing this? just that i'm just installing windows without the bootcamp deal...but if windows 7 doesn't support the ati radeon hd2600, it still will go black screen no? or you're saying it will run video through the motherboard if it's the only bootdrive, and will run all the way through the windows install without trying to switch over to the hd2600? (slrry flr these questions..just really want to make sure i understand what you're telling me..thanks so much for your patience and help by the way...it's very greatly appreciated...your support is priceless!
So now, assuming none of the above is possible...referring now to the ati 5770 that you referred to...you mention it works with 10.6 well, and that windows 7 supports it ...2 questions on that
1) Windows 7 supports" meaning, out of the box windows 7 supports it? or will i have to install drivers still through some update, because again, if that's how i have to do it, then won't work, cuz can't start windows to see anything to install any drivers or run any thing at all...so it would have to just work with initial installation.
2)hardware wise for my Mac Pro 3,1...intel dual quad core xeon, blah blah....will this card work? it's a PCIe and should fit on my board no prob, etc?

Trying to update OS to fix White Screen problem.

Hello, I have had my Blackberry 8520 on a Virgin contract for about a year and a half now. Recently it has started randomly just changing to a black white screen that won't allow me to turn it off or perform any functions. The way I temporarily fix this is to plug it into the charger which acts like a reboot and brings it back to normal (pulling the battery to reboot it just restores the white screen after loading). In trying to find the resolve to this problem, which I haven't yet, I rang the Virgin helpline who told me to update my OS. I currently have the version 5.0 Bundle 1096 and I am trying to update it to the 5.0 Bundle 1168. I have been having increasing problems with trying to do this. I updated my desktop software for Blackberry but updating through this software always brings up the message at the install stage (after backing up my data) - "An error has occured while downloading software for your device. Please verify your internet connection or try again later, if the problem persists." My internet is working fine and I have tried many times to update through this way. I have also tried updating through the blackberry website "web based updates area" that brings up the same message. Looking through over message boards, I tried the attempt at updating through the LOADER.EXE way. However after trying to download the OS manually to my computer, which my internet explorer thought was dangerous, it came up after with another error message - "Error 1335. The cabinet file 'Data1.cab' required for installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error from reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.' I am now out of ways to try and update my Blackberry and have no idea how to solve the white screen problem. Any help would be much appreciated. Karen x

Just to specify the final type of the updating I tried was following the instructions on this links - http://us.blackberry.com/support/apps-and-software/desktop-and-device-download-sites.html I choose Europe, Virgin Media, Blackberry curve 8520. I got the software on to my computer and the error message that came up, appeared after choosing language and agreeing to the terms and conditions and starting the installation. Sorry about the big clump of writing; the post removed all of my paragraphs when I posted it. New to this! And need help! Thanks x

Ipod nano screen

Can anyone please tell me - ( I have spent many hours on the apple website looking for contact details of a real person; but no good )- what to do with my IPod Nano screen that does not work. It is not cracked but is very bright, unreadable and seems to have gibberish on it.
I have tried the RESET trick but can see nothing on the screen.
I live near DUBAI and nobody will talk to me about the problem. I won the thing in a competition last December and it only worked for a few weeks.
Please help me Obeonekinobe, you're my only hope.

Sudden macbook pro screen problem after genius bar "repair"

I took my 15" early 2011 MBP (still under 3 year applecare) to the genius bar after I discovered the battery had swollen up and was pushing the trackpad up. They replaced this and I also asked them to reapply the thermal paste as I felt like it was running hot causing the fans to increase with relatively little load (apparently there was a problem with the early 2001 MBPs and thermal paste which is well documented elsewhere). Machine worked great when they handed it back to me in the store.
But when I turned it on a couple of days later, serious problems! First there was a messed up blue / grey / purple / green screen with lines all over it & it didn't boot. I felt like the DVD-drive noise it usually gives sounded lower pitched than usual too but I could be imagining that.. I turned it on & off several times and each time a similar (but slightly different) screen. I tried various different "startup key" combinations eg safe boot, hardware test without success.
However after I reset the NVRAM I got just a grey screen which then booted into snow leopard. It could've been a coincidence that this happened after the NVRAM reset, I don't know. Anyway, the mac is sort of working - great!
BUT the screen colours are still messed up. Looks like what I'd imagine you'd get if you tried to run in 16 colours. There's also some flickering near the bottom of the screen. Weirdly though, when I click and hold on some items, eg in the dock, the colours seem more normal again on parts of the screen.
Examples below:
1. colours look terrible here!
2. the blue triangle isn't right at all. (note the curvy lines are just an artifact from the camera)
3. however when I click there is is some improvement to some of the colours on bits of the screen eg the dock items (except the logic icon which still looks wrong) - I don't think the big circle in the middle is right (that's not a flash, it's on the screen).
I've tried to run the hardware test by holding down D on start up and aside from taking longer to boot, I don't get any options to run tests.
Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?? As the colours are correct sometimes, I'm inclined to think it's a video card problem rather than a screen problem. System profiler says I have and AMD Radeon HD 6490M & Intel HD 3000. I'm just wondering if they could've somehow damaged the video card when reapplying the thermal paste. But I really don't know.
I will book another genius bar appointment but there's a 1 week wait and it's kind of annoying!
Thanks.

There's no recall for early 2011 machines - only for mid-2010 models.
But you're right - there's a growing thread here of hose having problems with the early 2011 GPU. Odd that it doesn't seem to affect those with late 2011 models.

Lenovo Y50-70 screen problem

Hello. Recently, i have bought the Lenovo Y50-70 laptop and it seems that there is some screen problem. I have a feeling that it does flicker sometimes (1-2 per hour, sometimes more). Firstly, I thought that the backlight changes for a second, but then, after more observation, it might be it turning off and on immediately, or the colours fade and return to normal. I can't say for sure, what it is, because it happens very quickly, but the eye catches it anyway and it is kind of annyoing. Moreover, once the screen went completely crazy, it started to turn off and on every 2-3 seconds, big portions of view weren't even displayed, and what wasn't displayed changed every time it turned off and on. There were also green and red dots moving all over, mouse was moving in slowmotion (like I were playing a game in 15 fps). Only the restart helped and it stopped. So the question is, what is wrong and what am I supposed to do? Sorry, if the english is bad, but it isn't my native language.

I live in South Africa. Bought the notebook on 14 July 2015, within 2 weeks I started experiencing the screen flickering and grey lines. I was told by Lenovo to roll back drivers, then update drivers etc. - nothing worked. I returned the laptop to the supplier who in turn sent it to Lenovo. Lenovo has offered to replace the unit. I am hesitant to accept another unit and am thinking of rather getting a refund so that I can buy an Acer Aspire V Nitro (same specs). My previous laptop was an Acer and did not give me a day's trouble. Don't bother trying to update drivers or open the screen to plug it into the motherboard etc. I think the issue is a power supply one and that Lenovo should do a recall of this product. I am just thankful that South Africa has consumer law which forces a supplier to replace, repair or refund a defective product within 6 months from purchase if the consumer wants - so they can't simply repair, if I want a refund, they must give me one. Good luck! PS: This was my first and last Lenovo product!

X230 Screen problem

Hi,
I just recieved my second x230 laptop and having problems with the screen. The screen is constantly shimmering and it 's much more obvious when the background is set to dark grey. This is the replacement that I just recieved and It still has the same problem. On the first one the trackpad was loose and had the screen flickering problem so I asked for a replacement and this one the same screen problem and also the battery does not fit in properly even when I lock both sides there is still a big gap on one side and it's quite loose. I m totally disappointed with the Lenovo quality control. but also tired of sending them back and forth as I believe the next one will probably have some other problems. What I already tried:
1- BIOS updated
2- All the video drivers updated
3-Increased the ram to 16GB
None of them solved tthe issue. By the way this is an IPS display.
I would appreciate any response if someone had the same problem and managed to solve it somehow.
Thanks,
Ale
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Does it change with increasing brightness ? You might be sensitive to slow pulse modulation used to control brightness of the LED backlight.
As for the flickering with some pattern I can see it as well on my X220. Even my NEC 2090 UXi professional monitor has the issue when turned on but it slowly disapears in few hours. The reason is fully explained here http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/inversion.php and there is probably no solution for that in notebook display segment. It is unlikely that you got two boxes with the issue that will be just a bad luck but there might be a batch of displays that exhibits the issue more than others.
Another reason might be FRC used to simulate 8 bit colors resolution per channel. The X220/X230 display is very likely e-IPS technology that is limited to 6 bit only. The particular FRC implementation might also exhibit annoying flicker effects for some color combinations.
Sorry, I don't have any good advice. Buying a LCD monitor is always a nightmare for me because there are too many possible issues that would annoy me. On the other hand, X230 is currently the only Lenovo notebook that have a decent display. Other models have TN craps only.
