Black Screen + Flicker
Hi,
The screen on my 15" Powerbook has gone extremely dark. It is still just visible, and is readable if for example I use a torch. It also flickers and does briefly come back on then goes off again. Its stay on slightly longer if the lighting is set lower, although still goes dark again after a few seconds. This problem is consistent for the whole screen, ie it is all dark and there are no specific lines or damage visible. From scanning the topic board, it sounds like this is a problem either with the inverter board or the cable connecting the inverter board. Does this sounds correct, or could it be the backlight itself that need replacing? If it is the backlight, can that specific part be replaced or does the whole screen need replacing?
I think you are right - it very much sounds like either the cable or inverter. I'd open it up and try reseating the cable connectors and jiggling the cable, which costs nothing. If jiggling the cable helps, I would consider replacing it. Otherwise, consider replacing the inverter. Of course, it's possible that it's something else.
I haven't taken the display apart, but my understanding is that the backlight is taped together with the display. I don't know if anyone sells just the backlight parts or not. In any event, I would not sink too much money into repairs, considering the age of the computer.

I have a new Mac Pro late 2013 and a 55" 4k Samsung display connected using an HDMI cable. For the most part the display is amazing, however, I get occasional screen flicker and black outs. Can anyone help? Could I possibly have a bad video card?
4K displays take more than half the bandwidth of a ThunderBolt Bus. So you may get better results if you are careful to place them on their own Bus. This article has the explanation of which port is using which Bus:

My Iphone 4s has a black screen. If I hold down the ON button, it will occasionally flicker and then go black again.
Is it dead? Is there any way to fix it? It's sitting in a bag of rice right now, a desperate measure.Are you saying it got water damage? If not what mende1 suggested, or the following
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
is the way to proceed. If it got wet all bets are off. -
I was getting flicker and black screen more and more often. I talked with the first line tech and he said to run diags and see if the screen flicker. No flicker which he felt was a sign of drivers or something.
Well folks, after running complete full diags from Mac OS X disk, resetting SMC and then resetting PRAM & NVRAM (in that order), I have not had any problems (knock, knock) yet. I will be using the computer all weekend so I will report in a day or so.
Fingers crossed!!
MikeI run mostly Adobe Master Suite apps (Photoshop, Dreamweaver and such). Also running iPhoto & iMovie daily. I have not a guess why I no longer have any issues. My usage has not changed and I was having problems 2-5 times an hour early last week.
The only changes to the system I made since then was the display sleep from 15mins to 30mins and computer sleep from 30mins to 1hr. I also changed the screen saver from Mosaic using iPhoto to Cosmos but still left it on 15 mins.
Gaming on the other hand works out the ATI video card. Don't have any games but I have tested with iTunes running movies and music videos without issues.
Probably the motto: don't fix it if it ain't broken applies here.

OS 10.4.5 failure to startup-login window/ black screen/ blue screen-frozen
Hi there,
To anybody that can help me, I thank you very much indeed in advance.
G4 Powerbook, 1.5gHz, 2gb Ram (1gb kingston ram added since purchase date), OS 10.4.5, security update 2006-002 (v1.1 (?) recently installed).
My current problem is that i cannot log into OS X. It boots as far as the login window, which is unresponsive, and then it then flicks to a black screen with 2 or 3 lines of white text and then flicks to a totally 'mac-blue' screen with the black arrow pointer still active.
A history of my problem;
1) Yes, unfortunately I tried to get front row to work on my machine (the hack with the front row enabler etc), and subsequently removed all traces of it after it screwed up a few things (menu bar missing, failure to restart). This tidy-up involved doing something with system library, bezel services...etc.
2) I recently installed the first version of security update 2006-002. i am not saying this is the cause, but sometime after I did this, things started going wrong again. another thing i did recently which i hadnt in the past was to have itunes appear at startup and a few days later i emptied my hard drive of all my music and had this linked to a lacie 250gb via firewire 800. The problem at this was that login/startup was incredibly slow and sometimes the finder would keep relaunching itself on its own once the operating system was up and running. Also, when i tried safe boot, the login window would appear and then it would flick to a black screen. it would let me type in a username, but it would not let me input anything for the password.(I did use disk utility to repair permissions when i did manage to logon).
This whole problem seemed to go away for a day or two, but the login was still slower than usual the past few days.
I then turned on my powerbook this morning and login was extremely long and never completed fully- lots of pinwheel spins, menu bar not loading, itunes not appearing.
After a few forced shutdowns I left the computer for maybe 5-10 mins and it seemed to sort itself out after a few finder relaunches etc, and so i tried a few things;
3) I tried installing the newer version of the security update 2006-002 version 1.1 i think? At the same time i took itunes off the startup launches and also switched off auto login for my account (a silly idea it seems).
Since restarting from the security update, the operating system gets to the login window, which is unresponsive, and then it then flicks to a black screen with 2 or 3 lines of white text and then flicks to a totally 'mac-blue' screen with the black arrow pointer still active.(this is with the power adaptor connected only, no other cables etc)
I have tried Resetting PRAM, and using fsck, although I am slightly unsure as to whether or not this is useful to me anyway. I cannot reinstall the operating system until next week as my mum has my copy of tiger at home a few hundred miles away!
Any help at all would be so greatly appreciated, especially on the eve of my two year anniversary with my powerbook!
Kind regards,
Henry HarkerHi Henry
I've just encountered this problem with one of our computers at work. Hopefully this will help.
It's a Login Window Prefs problem. It's probably corrupted so you need to remove the prefs file.
1. Startup in safe mode (hold down shift). You should get a login window for the master admin account.
2. Delete the file: userName>Library>Preferences>com.apple.loginwindow.plist
3. Restart.
Let me know how you go.
Cheers

Black Screen with Sound on OpenGL Apps (nVidia GeForce4 MX 440)
After a couple weeks of a non-stop search for a solution that has taken me through countless forums and Google queries, I've come to the realization that I need some help before I drive myself insane. I am running an old emachine T3065 with an AMD Athlon XP 2.167 MHz processor, 1024 MB of RAM, 160 GB HD, and a good old integrated (POS) nVidia NV18 GeForce4 MX 440 displayed on a widescreen Acer X191W LCD panel. I followed the instructions dictated in the nVidia installation wiki to a 'T', and can start GDM and log into Gnome without any conflict. Then when I attempt to launch a 3D OpenGL game or application, I'm stuck with a black screen where I can still hear sound (in fullscreen mode) or, in a few windowed programs such as foobillard and Google Earth, a three-dimensional shape without textures. Here's a couple screenshots:

As you can see, direct rendering is enabled. This left me fairly perplexed.
Issuing glxgears returned a smooth animation without error running at an average of 1750 frames per second. I then began toying with my xorg.conf settings by turning "RenderAccel" on and off, trying the different "NvAGP" ranges, etc. All without revealing a solution. Here is my current xorg.conf:

Perhaps the warnings pertaining to my monitor and ACPI are pertinent?
Is it possible that there is some kind of issue with my configuration and OpenGL textures since I can still see some non-textured 3D objects? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am beyond frustrated with the matter. On a sidenote, in my latest issue of Linux Pro Magazine, I booted up a Sabayon live disc that game with the magazine and I had the same error except that a message blatantly said that I did not have OpenGL support. Anyway, I apologized if I rambled a bit and I hope that we'll be able to find a solution. Cheers!I guess I forgot to disclose that bit, haha. I'm currently using the 'nvidia-96xx' drivers which I thought were the correct set for the GeForce4 series. I recall reading that in a wiki somewhere, but I could be mistaken. I thought 'nvidia-71xx' was for GeForce2 and earlier.I really hope it is as simple as me installing the wrong driver.

Black screen when MSI driver is installed (MSI R9 270X 2GB )
Bought new computer and everything worked fine until couple of days ago ..
can pull some info ..
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
AMD 8350FX 8-core
ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2
MSI R9 270X 2GB GDDR5
8GB 1866MHz RAM
120gb SSD Kingston HyperX
Everything worked fine even with the drivers that are there now but one day the screen started to fluttering and act strangely then windows crashes. I rebooted then when I want to log in or when the login page will show I only got black screen...
Reboot again ... go into " safe mode " ... screen works with standard VGA ... uninstall the drivers for the MSI card ( msi.com ) ... restart ... everything works .
However, it goes on the standard VGA but as soon as I install the drivers, I get the same problem ....
What has happened?
Got NO clue right now .. drivers worked before , I haven't updated them since I installed them (3weeks ago) I have not done anything that I can think of ..
Are grateful for answers!I have the same problem. Updated driver to 13.11 beta was running my MSI 2GB r9 270x for 3 days got it on the 24th and today after a system reboot the windows screen appears to load then goes to black. I started safe mode, uninstalled the ati graphics drivers, rebooted and windows booted fine. Reinstalled the lastest 13.12 driver and rebooted to the black screen again.
Specs:
Board: P7P55D Asus
PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro M850 @ 850 W output SINGLE 12V channel at 66A
VCard: R9 270x MSI 2G
Proccessor: intel i5 750 @ 2.66 GHZ
Did not overclock the video card or touch the voltages, tried VBIOS updates to fixed the screen flicker and it worked find the flicker dissapeared after the this new black screen problem happened i reverted back to the stock VBIOS the card shipped with(saved it before i updated it) reverting to the stock VBIOS didnt fix the problem only removing the driver fixes the problem, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time,

I have a late 2009 Macbook. Ocasionally when i open it up, i get a black screen with a bright white line at the bottom of the monitor. Rebooting and closing the laptop doesn't change anything. I can connect it to an external display and the display appears pefectly on the other screen, while the mac remains black with a white line at the bottom. If i take off the bottom cover plate, and touch a new random things, the screen will return to normal, but flicker initially. This has now happened 3 times, and i can't seem to make any sense of it. After reading online i can't see to find any problems on this MC207ll/a macbook. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You obviously broke the screen when the phone was dropped. Apple doesn't repair the screen on an iPhone 4; it will replace the phone for $149.

Late 2007 MacBook Pro intermittent black screen
I have this very odd issue with an intermittent black screen on a late 2007 MacBook Pro (4GB/320GB 7200rpm) Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1
Apologies for the length of the post.
In cycles separated by a few days to a week, the screen will flicker to black, initially very briefly, then for longer periods until it is black continuously, where it stays from a few hours to a couple of days then it flickers to normal, again very briefly then with longer intervals until it is steady and normal. It can then be fine for a week or more.
When the screen is working, it's perfect; no lines, stripes, colour shift or any difference to what one would expect. When it is black, the backlight is still operational (and dimming when on battery power) but there is no image - all pixels are solid black. Shining a torch on/through the screen does not reveal any image. When mirrored, the external monitor shows the brightness adjustment moving up and down in response to the key presses but it has no effect on the internal screen.
My external display (Eizo) is always functional no matter what the built-in one is doing and is completely solid at all times.
There is no correlation to temperature (I have SMC fan control), sleep, restart, fan speed, power source or anything environmental. The MacBook is on a fan stand for most of the time. External connections make no difference. If the fault is present before changing any of these factors, it is there after.
I am aware that this machine has known vulnerabilities with GPU and display issues but none present quite like this. I have performed the usual trawl on the net and I now know more than I ever wanted to about attempts to fix it.
Software remedies attempted:
Resetting PRAM and power manager.
No sleep image file (never used this option). I deleted the old swap files that were there in any case but this unsurprisingly did nothing.
Resetting the display settings via keyboard commands or Sys Prefs.
Screen savers and settings are not implicated.
Nothing whatever in the console logs that I can see.
TechTool Pro gives video RAM a clean bill of health and all other components pass including tests on the HD with TTP and DiskWarrior.
Safe boot and booting from systems on backups seem to have no effect but one safe boot restored the screen briefly - I think it was a coincidence.
I updated the OS from 10.6.6 to 10.6.8 while this fault was coming and going and it made no difference. I usually prepare the machine for updates by running the cron jobs, repairing permissions etc.
In expectation of suffering this fault when the external monitor was not connected, I installed iScreen on the MacBook and use my iPad as a supplementary display and that works well too. Having all three operating, when the internal is functioning, is quite fun.
Hardware tests:
I removed the upper plate holding the keyboard and the interior of the machine was very clean with only some small dust accumulations in the fans, which were removed. There was no sign of any discolouration, corrosion, or other unpleasantness on the PCBs. All connectors and wiring looked good.
Every part of the logic board, cables and connectors were percussed, gently deflected and spray freezed, both while the fault was present and not (machine running) with no effect.
Display back was removed and the LCD board given the same treatment. No changes.
Display cable disconnected at both ends and tested for continuity (probe resistance accounted for) and consistency with a Fluke 87 multimeter - passed OK. On a scope, active signals and power were present on all the pins when the display was working but the fault did not occur during this test, which might have been interesting.
No apparent shorting of the display cable but without removing it this cannot be proved.
Problem not affected by hinge position, pressure on any part of the display, twisting, percussing etc.
Used compressed air to blow out the connectors which were reseated carefully.
After all this, the machine remains in exactly the same state, cycling between operational and black with various flickering stages as it comes and goes.
All I can deduce is that as the external monitor has always been OK, the GPU itself is probably working fine and the fault is more likely in the LCD panel electronics. I doesn't feel like a software issue to me but heck, I don't know what is going on.
Does anyone have any experience of something like this?
Thanks,
Joel.Thomas,
Thanks for your post and I'm sorry you have suffered the same problems.
My trust levels are not very high because it's clear there is some systemic display problem with this model, which is why Apple are fixing them. As I mentioned, we have no idea if the replacement boards are any different to the originals. From your experience it would look like they are not and my suspicion is that it is very unlikely that Apple made a new batch of these logic boards a long time after the model was discontinued. If anyone has evidence to the contrary, I stand to be corrected.
As you say, the difference between our two faults appears to be that a physical deformation of some part of the machine does something with yours but never did with mine. At one point I felt that a short in the internal display cable seemed like the best explanation for the problem but it looks like it's more complex than that because of the behaviour of our external displays and subsequent strange booting behaviour.
If, as I have read, the soldering of the GPU was faulty and leads to progressive failure of the graphics sub-system, then all kinds of strange behaviours could arise and produce the intermittent problems we have seen. Micro-fractures of the chip interconnects would suggest that tiny movements might change the presentation of the fault. If soldering really is the issue, then keeping the machine as cool as possible will extend the life of the connections. Consequently mine will sit on a fan-stand for the rest of its days, which is no problem because it just had Win 7 installed on it and I don't want to be seen in public with it in that state ;-)
All we can conclude is that a logic board swap fixes the problem for some indeterminate period, so the problem is on that board. Whether it is a design fault with the NVIDIA chip itself or a manufacturing fault with the board is not clear but we can probably forget LCD panels, cables, sleep issues, power supplies and all the other peripheral issues unless there is yet another design issue that causes the GPU to fail.
Are you intending to present your machine to Apple for another go at a fix? -
Unable to restore iTouch, stuck on black screen with white apple
Hello to any and all that can offer me assistance:
I have an iPod Touch. I have restored it more than once. It will show the screen with the USB cord and the iTunes logo. After the restoration process the computer screen will say that the restoration was completed and my iTouch will turn back on to be recognized by iTunes in 10 seconds. That never happens. Instead I get the black screen with the white apple. It will stay on then flick off after about 20 seconds repeatedly.
I have tried uninstalling all Apple files and re-downlading them. I have tried letting it die then charging it. I was getting error 1611 so I disabled my security software and did the restore again. I have deleted and readded the file in the folder for iPod software updates. I have held the shift key when pressing restore in iTunes and selected the newly downloaded iOS/firmware. I unplugged it from the front USB port on my tower to a slot on the back. I unplugged and restarted my pc with nothing plugged into the USB ports other than the iTouch cord, my mouse and keyboard.
All have failed. Once - out of no where - I thought that I had gotten lucky because it was back to factory defaults. I added my apps and music to it. Once I unplugged it from my PC within minutes it died and started doing the flicker on and off again.
What else can I try? I am frustrated and running out of ways to google and review other discussions on the Apple site on how to repair it. I don't know what generation it is. I've owned it for maybe 2 years. It's a 32g iTouch.
Please help if you can! :-)
Thx,
HunyBAre you referring to when i hold down the circle button until it restarts? I've tried that. I always get back to the screen with the USB cord pointing toward the iTunes logo. While still holding the button i plug it in to the USB cord. I do the restoration....it shows a little icon that are small lines like sunrays that light up like it;s about to restart.....then it gots back to the flickering. ;-(

Mavericks Grey Screen & Black Screen on Startup
While working with the new Mavericks iMovie and GarageBand, the screen of my refurbished 17" MacBook Pro (bought new last year) became white with vertical light grey bars. I forced shut down. Upon restart after the Apple logo and pinwheel go away, there is just a grey screen that doesn't disappear or turn into the desktop (I waited about 15 min). I forces shutdown again. I tried this another time or two with the same results.
I tried holding option to get to the Restore disk. I chose the Restore disk, but after the logo and pinwheel, now a black screen. Repeated with same results. I tried resetting the NVRAM, a few times in a row, and same grey screen. I tried safe boot mode; after the barber pole filled completely, black screen.
In both black screen (likewise with grey screen) the computer is still on; I hear the fan. When it's black screen and I force shut down, I can see the screen flicker off.
Any ideas?
Thank you!I just tried resetting the NVRAM two times, and on the last chime held down the option key for Restore disk screen. When I hit Restore, Apple logo and pinwheel as before, but instead of a black screen, it's a black screen with thin vertical blue lines. Weirdest thing.
Thanks for any advice! -
ever since i upgraded to 5, i have occasional, but annoying, screen flicker. sometimes it actually goes black for a split second. i have not noticed any change inbattery drain. anyone else having this problem? this is on 1st gen iPad.
Go into settings then into brightness setting and try turning it off,then reset your iPad and see if it stops doing it. Also there is a light sensor on the top of the iPad that adjust the light,do do have you hand over that ?

I have a HP special edition 15-p058na laptop and it works ok but the problem is that the screen will go black randomly. When it's plugged into the power or not and sometimes when it's been powered on for a long time and sometimes when I've just switched it on. I've noticed recently it's been flickering a little when i'm sing it. If I press the power button and power it down and on again it will work again for a while.
Any one got ideas what this could be?Hi there @everytime
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
I understand that you seem to have an intermittent issue with your display, or at least something causing the display to go black. I am happy to help with this.
I do need to understand some more about what is happening. When the screen goes black, have you noticed whether the system is running very hot?
Does the screen flicker at all when you move the display, either before or after the screen goes black?
Has this just started happening suddenly, or has it something that has been getting progressively worse?
Please let me know, and any other details you can. For now, maybe one of these pages could prove helpful to you.
