Blackberry torch screen goes green and pink when it is slid up..

my phone has been working for the past year fine, today i was walking and recieved a message, i slid the phone up to type my password in and the screen went multicoloured and froze, i then took the battery out and waited 15 - 20 seconds before re-inserting the batter and left it to power up, once it powered up i slid it up again and the screen is still not right, i have done a 'master reset' to see if anything changes and it is still the same..

The first thing to do is a battery pull.  Since you've done that to no avail, let's jump right to an OS reload.  Plug your phone in to your PC and open BlackBerry Desktop Software.  Click Device at the top of the software then Update.  If it shows a newer version and you want it, load that one.  If it says you're up to date, click View Other Versions and pick the one with Currently Installed beside it.
If that doesn't work, you'd be best to talk to T-Mobile about warranty work or exchange.
I hope that helps you.

  • My ipad screen turned green and pink

    i restart my ipad2 it dosen't work

    Hey jedivan27,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having display issues with your iPad 2 and you have already attempted to restart it. To completely isolate the issue, let's try resetting your device as well:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the issue persists after a reset, let’s see if we can isolate to software or hardware by backing up and restoring your device as new:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
    If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
    Thanks,

  • Pixelated Screen - shimmering green and pink

    I posted this over in the display forum but im not getting much help over there. thought i would post here and get a bigger crowd.
    anyways, on my ibook, the screen is very pixelated. it reminds me of when you put a video card in a pc and there are no drivers installed for it. there is a shimmering green and pink effect all over the screen. mostly in the shadows though.
    i have already tried to adjust the resolution and colors. nothing changes the way it looks. current setting is at 1024x768 with millions of colors selected.
    i took a screen shot and transferred it to my pc and opened it in Photoshop. The screen shot looks flawless and none of the above symptoms are there.
    so is the LCD bad? maybe the inverter?

    If you have the external video adapter, as included with the iBook when new, you could check the non-LCD
    components to some extent by seeing if you can run an external display; and if the images view correctly,
    the internal display has secondary issues that can be further troubleshooted by you or a tech.
    There are some software utilities out there which may work to help use an external display; but I don't use
    them and so can't recommend them. A few were not supported officially, but people used them in iBooks.

  • If your BlackBerry Torch Screen Goes Black --- Read this!

    Recently, my BlackBerry Torch screen went black. The phone was still active, but I couldn't see anything on the screen. Opening and closing the screen slowly, pulling the battery, or standing on my head and begging the phone to work didn't enable the screen.
    After a lot of searches, I finally realized my screen was not going to come back on and that this is a rampant problem. I've since made the leap to an iPhone 4s. I still had many photos and videos of my children on my BB; including custom ring tones my son made for my contacts. In short, information I wanted. This was an Enterprise activated BB that was protected by a password. Inspite of this, I was able to get everything off the phone very simply.
    I downloaded and installed the BlackBerry Desktop Manager (mentioned in some of the posts). I was able to connect my device. The software provided the password challenge via my PC and I was able to log into the phone. I then used Windows Explorer to search every folder and remove all the photos, videos, and ring tones I wanted. The only thing I didn't salvage were my texts; not a big loss.
    In summary, if your screen goes black, contact your provider for a replacement. While you are waiting for a replacement, install BlackBerry Desktop Manager and get all your personal information off. And above all, DON'T PANIC! There is hope

    Good points, stressed here daily.

  • Screen Goes Black and Hangs when browsing by Artist, Album, Song, etc.

    I'm having a fairly huge issue with Front Row:
    I can play video files (although their is a moment of hangtime between selecting a video and the video actually playing) and music files (if I choose the "Shuffle Songs" option), however, when I choose to browse my music by artists, albums, songs, genres, etc. my screen goes black and stays that way until I hit CMD+Q over and over until it finally quits. Furthermore, when I do play music via "Shuffle Songs" and quit out of Front Row, the music continues to play in the background and cannot be stopped, paused, etc.
    Is there anyone out there who can help me fix this? I love Front Row and use it all the time and it would be a shame not to be able to anymore..
    Thanks in advance,
    Corey

    I have a similar problem. When browsing music the screen goes to black or just freezes on whatever was beeing displayed for maybe 30 seconds to a minute before continuing. It happens quite often. I am running the latest version of Front Row on a brand new Mac Mini. I have a very large iTunes music folder (about 830 gigabytes of uncompressed AIFF files) running on an external FW800 drive. I tried repairing permissions and a number of Front Row and a few iTunes files appear in the list. However, when I run repair permissions again, the same files are still listed so obviously if they need to be repaired, it's not happening. I tried repairing the volume (no problems found) and repairing permissions from the Install disc but the result was identical.

  • Screen problem z2, screen going up and down when "pushed" in

    Hello, so basicly my problem is like this.
    When i press a finger towards the screen and try to say browse down or up slow, the screen can flicker and go up and down or "wabbling". Its possible tho to just swipe up and down without having the finger pressed, but thats harder to deal with. Since it can be to big jumps when reading stuff.
    This however doesnt always happen, so sometimes it works just fine. But more or less its causing problems often, and very frustrating to browse/surf.

    Hi, try running your phone for a while in Safe Mode......possible cause could be some 3rd part app affecting your phone, you could try narrowing it down by thinking of fairly recent apps you've installed.....as i said, run it for a while and see if your phone works fine 
    Then it will be a matter of deleting or force stopping each individual app one at a time and testing after each time 

  • If i go to high res (720p or higher) my screen turns green and the video fast forwards to the end.

    Hi,
    I have windows 7 64 bit and use mozila firefox 15.0.1
    I have got the problem that when i select higher resolution in videos (such as on youtube) that at 480p it will run for a while but then just stops even though the buffering is already complete.
    If i go to higher resolutions like 720p or 1080p the video will run for a while again but then the screen goes green and the movie fast forwards to the end preventing me to watch movies without problems at higher res.
    If u want more information about my problems or know a solution pls tell me.
    Manny thanks,
    Avalondra.

    Could you try temporarily disabling protected mode to see if that makes a difference (instructions towards the bottom of the FAQ linked below)?  I'll circle back with our video team to see if they've made any progress with this issue.

  • Hey ppl,my macbook is not booting and by that i mean u can hear the audio wave when its starting up,the screen goes white and then after a while there's a folder with a question mark in the middle of the screen...anyone,any ideea?!?

    Hey ppl,my macbook is not booting and by that i mean u can hear the audio wave when its starting up,the screen goes white and then after a while there's a folder with a question mark in the middle of the screen...anyone,any ideea?!?Regards.

    That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the hard drive data is somehow corrupted.
    Put your install DVD into the drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the optical drive.
    Once it has finished booting and you are at the Install screen launch Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is then select the First Aid Tab run Repair Disk and if that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

  • My screen has greens and black lines going down the middle an I can't access anything. What could be wrong? It happened all the sudden.

    My screen has greens and black lines going down the middle an I can't access anything. What could be wrong? It happened all the sudden.

    You're welcome! I feel your pain - both "closest" Apple Stores to me are almost 2 hours away. When I called for another problem under warranty the AppleCare guy checked my zip code and found an AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) 20 minutes from me I had no idea existed. They diagnosed the problem (bad bluetooth keyboard) and ordered a new one for me. The AppleCare person will probably use this http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/ so you can check it now. And AppleCare could well diagnose your problem over the phone anyway. And I feel certain it wasn't something you did inadvertently.

  • I have OSX 10.5.7 on my Intel Mac. When I try to login using the correct password the screen goes white and just returns back to the login screen. It does not jiggle like when you enter the wrong password.

    I have had a number of issues with my Intel Mac recently and had to reboot using disk utilities, safe mode, OSX recovery, but always come back to the login screen but when I type my password the screen goes white and returns to the login screen. My password is correct and the login does not jiggle as it would if the password was wrong. Please advise,

    Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. There are ways to back up, even if you can’t log in. Before proceeding,you must be sure you can restore everything to the state it’s in now. If you’re not sure you can do that, STOP.
    The procedure below may spare you the need for a clean reinstallation of OS X. If you don't feel comfortable carrying it out, don't. try.
    Briefly, you need to delete the following file:
    /var/audit/current
    If you already know how to do that, you can skip the rest of this message. Do it, and try again to log in.
    Boot in single-user mode by holding down the key combination command-S at the startup chime. If you’re using an external USB keyboard, it must be plugged directly into a built-in port on the Mac, not into a hub. Release the keys when you see a black screen with scrolling white text. In this mode, there’s no graphical interface; just a command line. Initially, you can’t make any changes to files.
    When the text stops scrolling, and you see a line ending in a pound sign (“#”), type the following command:
    mount -uw /
    You must type the command exactly as given, with no mistakes. If you don’t feel able to do that, STOP. At this stage, no harm will be done if you make a mistake, but later, it will be. Press the return key.
    Next, type the following command:
    rm -i /var/audit/current
    Press return. You should get the following output:
    remove /var/audit/current?
    If that's not what you get, STOP. Type the single letter N, press return, and try again. Otherwise, type the single letter Y and pressreturn.
    Finally, enter the command:
    exit
    Press return. The text will start scrolling again, and then the system will reboot. Try again to log in.

    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
