Apple logo bright spot on macbook pro display.

Recently I found a bright spot just behinde the apple logo on my macbook pro mc 723 (early 2011) display...it seems that the light of the logo passes through the display...what can I do for it?! It is so bothering especially when working on a white or bright gray screen...

Yes it it because there is a bright light behind the lid, in the room/area you are in, and it is shining through the white Logo onto the screen. Place something over the logo or turn off the light you have on behind the lid.
EDIT:
There is No light in the Logo. It is lit by the lights in the the screen. If you dim the screen the logo will also dim. It is because there is a bright light, floor or desk lamp, behind the screen. Turn it off.

  • Bright Spot on Macbook Pro Retina Display

    Anyone else have a bright spot on their retina display?  MIne has a defect that looks like a bright or bleached area 1x3mm.  It is not dead pixel(s).  The spot is about 13cm from the right and 6mm from the bottom.
    This and big issues with it running a Thunderbolt display is leading me to return them both.

    If people coming here for a bright spot on a MBPR screen, maybe you should see this thread which is going on too. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4042189?tstart=0
    My opinion: replace the whole machine not just a screen! use your 14-day return policy, do a full refund and order another one if it's necessary. Repair the LCD or replace it with the new one it might be good if it happens after a year or even two years but not for one-month year old machine! They should s.uck it up and replace the whole thing and do the d.a.m.n QA better next time.
    Thanks and good luck

  • Apple Logo Stuck While Booting (Macbook Pro 15 (Late 2007)

    As I have installed Mac OS X 10.7.2, I tried to put it on my computer on the Macbook Pro 15 (Late 2007) I tried everything to make it work. It just still shows with a Apple logo with the "beach circle" on it. Once i turn it on, I just know that the software went in but It does not show the screen about it.
    Please help if you can.
    I want this to work

    oo close. but no.
    Once you download the recovery disk assistant, doublt click it and it'll open up an installer. This installer will ask you where you want to install the RDAssistant. Make sure you choose your USB drive not your hard drive. Name the usb drive before doing this if it is unclear which is which.
    something like "MyUSBdrive" or "LionRecoveryA".
    And then proceed to install it on the usb.
    Once you have done that you will plug it into the computer that you can't get into and run the usb through that. To get to the usb recovery partition, you'll have to hold option down to get to the drive.
    if this doesn't work, go to an apple specialist (apple store) who can assist you directly.

    Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Power On, Apple Logo, Grey Screen (2005 macbook pro)

    Ah what's wrong with it
    When I turn on my laptop, the normal apple logo and loading spinner pop up, and when they go away, I'm just left with a grey background. Whas going on

    Also, my cursor has 15 horizontal lines on it... I have no idea what that means. They extend from the cursor itself and continue down in a line, about 4x15 pixels each.
    Sounds a lot like a GPU issue. Run Apple Hardware Test to see what it shows.

  • 17" MacBook Pro Display stopped working

    Hello,
    I have a 17" 2.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro (purchased January 2008) and the display stopped working today. There is no light behind the Apple logo on the back or the display. The little white light by the latch works as normal, and I can hear the disk spin up when I power it off and on using the power button.
    When I connect to an external monitor, there is no signal. When the machine is powered on, I can see the drive on the network. I have also tried booting up using an install CD as well, but no luck.
    Yesterday, I updated all my software applications and did all the Apple software updates, everything worked fine. I am still on Snow Leopard, version 10.6.8.
    Any suggestions? Is it toast?

    Went to the Genius Bar yesterday. It's part of the NVIDIA issue.

    They had the part in stock should be able to repair it in 1-3 days.

    A cracked screen (LCD) or the glass that covers the LCD? I'm a little confused what is cracked? Is your LCD operating with the crack?

  • Differences between macbook pro displays

    hi all!
    i'm thinking on buying a new macbook pro i7, but i'm a bit confused about the differences between the display options.
    MacBook Pro 15-inch Glossy Widescreen Display (default)
    MacBook Pro 15-inch Hi-Res Glossy Widescreen Display
    MacBook Pro 15-inch Hi-Res Antiglare Widescreen Display
    is there any difference in the display panels in therms of bits, like 6 or 8bit, so i can get more colour depth? or is "just" the resolutions and surface finishing? & Which one will be better ???
    thanks in advance

    From the Apple Store:
    +The 15-inch MacBook Pro comes with a 1440-by-900-pixel LED-backlit glossy display. You can also choose a high-resolution 1680-by-1050 glossy or antiglare display that gives you 36 percent more pixels.+
    +About the high-resolution display+
    +The 1680-by-1050 display gives you more pixels — which is especially useful when you’re working with HD content in pro applications, like Final Cut Studio — because you get a sharper image and more screen space to work with.+
    +About glossy and antiglare+
    +Choose the glossy widescreen display to make your graphics, photos, and videos appear with richer colors and deeper blacks — great for watching DVD movies. If you prefer a display with antiglare coating for a matte rather than glossy viewing experience, choose the antiglare widescreen display.+

  • My macbook pro displays a folder with a question mark on it when it turns on. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    My macbook pro displays a folder with a question mark and won't open. What does this mean and how can I fix it?

    it means your HD and the software can't find each other, the following article tells how to troubleshoot this issue:
    https://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440
    hopefully you have backup of your data since sometimes this means the HD is crashing.
    if the article doesn't resolve the issue i would take the mac to apple store or service provider and have it looked at, the following link tells how to find one close to you:

  • Replacement 17" MacBook Pro Display: Report

    Yesterday I received a replacement display for my 17" MacbookPro. The new display is near perfect. It replaces one that had unevenness and bleeding around the bottom of the screen. Finally I have a good screen. There was one dead pixel near the bottom left of the screen. Because it is so near the edge there is no use in trying to get another one.

    Hi,
    Good news, I am happy for you . I just got my third display, which is as grainy as the second one...
    The first display was of very good quality. Unfortunately, after a couple of months, a weird gray stain appeared in the upper part of the display (it looked like an artifact behind the glass). So, I asked for a replacement and was very disappointed by the grainy aspect of the new display. That's when I became aware of the whole issue with MacBook Pro displays...
    Do you happen to know what is the manufacturer of your new display? If you could let us know, that may help us in interactions with Apple...
    Following the instructions on http://peewaiweb.free.fr/#whatisthisallabout, I was able to determine that my poor display is a Samsung one (LTN170P2). It's pretty easy, you just grab the SwitchResX control panel from http://www.madrau.com/html/SRX/DL.shtml, click on "Export DDC" and find the LCD model type in the generated file.
    I'd be very interested to hear about people who are happy with their display, so that I can tell Apple Support what brand I would like to get as replacement...
    Cheers,
    Olivier

  • Resolution of MacBook Pro display - always this fuzzy??

    I should have done my homework, but...
    I'm very sensitive to the fuzziness of the MacBook Pro display (especially the nearly grey and poorly defined letters on Word) and, to tell the truth, it's making my stomach turn and giving me a headache. I just received this computer through work, can't return it, and I'm stuck with it for three years now. what can I do or purchase to make the display CRYSTAL CLEAR (as in laser print quality)?
    Will an external monitor help? Which one?
    How can my iPod touch look so brilliant and this $2,500 laptop so archaic?
    Thanks for any and all help,
    Ants

    The reason your iPod Touch looks sharper is that it has a much higher pixel density than the MBP. Your iPod's screen is 163 ppi (pixels per inch) versus 110 ppi for the MBP. However, if it looks very fuzzy, I would agree with the other responder that your resolution isn't set to the screen's native resolution (1440 x 900) or that you are zoomed in (press control and scroll down on your mouse scroll wheel or two-fingered scroll on with the trackpad).

  • Using an LCD TV as the Macbook Pro display

    Hey
    I am trying to use a Samsung LCD Tv as the display monitor for my 15 in. Macbook Pro display. I have a DVI cord going from my laptop to a DVI-RGB adapter which is plugged into the LCD Tv monitor, but nothing shows up on the tv and the display is still on the laptop. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Assuming your adapter is valid, you try "Detect Displays" in System Prefs/Displays. Some people adjust the OS to show a monitor icon in the menu bar, near the clock, and you can access this from there also. If the Mac still detects no external display, suspect the cabling.
    I really question your DVI-RGB adapter, though. That would be highly unusual - are you sure it's not DVI-SVGA, or DVI-component? Do you have the brand and model? I have run my Samsung TV from my MBP just fine with a SVGA cable and DVI-SVGA adapter.
