Brownish red screen and annoying noise

I was usuing my laptop like I normally do, when all of a sudden the screen turned brownish red and this annoying screetching noise came on, I automatically turned the latop off by holding the power button, a couple of days later, the same thing happened.
I used my antivirus to scan my computer thoroughly but to no avail.
I have a Satellite A500-134 and using windows 7 on drive C with Vista on drive D.
Any help is greatly appreciated, and sorry if this is the wrong forum for this, I just didn't know where else to place this.

Nobody?

  • T61 Display Problem and Annoying Noise from ESC button area

    I have two problems with my T61, model 6460-66U. One's with display and another is annoying noise coming from ESC button area.
    Ordered in Feb, 2008 for college use, as soon as I start to use it there's some problem with the display quality. When using Aero there would be black square spots appearing on screen and would disappear when hovering mouse over these areas. Processing speed is somewhat slow when using Aero. While switching to Basic Vista style, those black square spots will only appear in the Windows Photo Gallery's left corner, like the image shows: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3149/2746362257_6dc6a4d6a2_o.jpg  When playing videos, like avi, rmvb, wmv files, there's a common problem that the screen in the media player keeps flashing with the green color. I thought it was the RAM, because it's 1G so it got upgraded to 3G over summer break. Hoping the problem would be solved, but not . Recover the system back to factory status helps a little, but after upgrading the newest driver (7.15.11.7597) of Nvidia 140m there would be sudden black out on screen, and notice of display driver stopped working. When degrade to 7.15.11.129 version it runs fairly well but problem with Photo Gallery and videos as mentioned above still exist. I found a Korean media player which could fix the video playing problem, but with Windows Media player, Realplayer and other major video player the problem still exists. Screenshot of the problem is here http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3087/2746362307_aff12c556c_o.jpg  I upgraded BIOS, but laptop would become slow and video images would blur/double shadows. So I swtiched it back.
    And recent few days, there's annoying noise coming from in the upper left corner, where ESC button is. I don't know whether it's from the fan or the AC adapter, it's like Zssssss, and if I press my finger on it, the noise would be a little louder. There's a similar problem that I noticed in the first few weeks with the experience of this laptop, whenever I maximize the volume (both volume control of computer and the music player), some annoying noise, which is similar to this Zsss sound but louder will buzzing along with music. Didn't care much about that since if I don't maximize the volume it would just be fine. But this time the whining noise won't disappear. What probably cause this?  Anyway to fix it, like replacing certain parts??
    Suggessions and help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!!

    Dirt can get under the button in an instant.
    I use a strong suction vacuum cleaner and tip the computer from side to side and upside down while clicking the button to suck out the dirt.

  • Grey screen and cranking noise

    My screen froze and started making cranking noises.  I turned it off.  Now, when I turn it on, it shows the grey screen and makes a ton of noise.  Help!

    Is the loud noise coming from the right of the trackpad?  If so that may indicate a disk crash.  Check the following.
    Boot in Recovery Mode.
    http://www.apple.com/osx/recovery/
    If it boots in standard recovery mode then at least part of your internal disk is working.
    If it boots in network recovery mode then your internal disk may be damaged but the rest of you Mac may be healthy.
    If it boots in Recovery Mode or Network Recovery Mode:
    Run Disk Utility.  This will check if the disk and filesystem are healthy.
    Click on the upper left disk icon.
    (If there is no upper left icon then your disk has crashed.)
    Does the S.M.A.R.T. status say “Verified”.
              If not the disk/SSD is unhealthy and needs to be replaced.
    Click on the icon indented below, usually called “Macintosh HD”.
    Verify Disk.
    If it finishes with a green “OK” message then all is well with the disk.
    If it shows errors in red then you may have found the problem.
    If it has not crashed you may want to backup or do an emergency data copy before proceeding.
    Post back with your results and for details on a possible data recovery.

  • I had a red screen and then a blurring display on pictures after I had turned iPad off.  I reset it and few minutes later it was ok.  What happened?

    I had a red screen appear after turning iPad off and on.  Red line remained at top and pictures were blurring in the display.  I reset and a few minutes later it fixed itself. Should I avoid turning iPad off.  I have an upcoming plane flight.

    Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • Flashing Red Screen and freezing

    I am needing help please. I have bought a macbook pro (Last Nov. 2009) version 10.6. with a 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and I have 4 GB memory. I have been taking advantage of the macupdate software packages and I am not sure if new software is causing my problem. My computer has frozen lately when doing a few tasks at once. Most often when working with picture software. The most disturbing is when my computer goes to the screen saver which was one of the software products I purchased: My Living Desktop Scenes, the screen begins to flash red and only stops when I touch a key or other to take it out of the screen saver. I have had the living desktop software installed for weeks now and I have only had this problem start recently. The last package of software I bought was the Mac Graphoto 2 applications (Image framer, Sandvox, snapshot, sketch, layers, postern etc...). I have really only used image framer and postern so far. The problems seem to have begun after downloading some of this software. What should I do? I have five days before my 1 year warranty runs out. Do these software bundles cause more problems than they are worth or maybe have nothing to do with my problem?? Any help is appreciated.
    P.s My computer also seemed to be slowing down whether working with applications or being on the internet, so I followed another threads suggestion on shutting the computer down and holding the power button for five seconds and then shutting down and holding the control, P and R buttons and this seems to have helped speed but not the flashing or freezing. Hope this is enough detail.

    I have a Mac Mini (2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory) and I am also having the same issues with the red screen. No Living desktop on my desktop...just a solid red - sometimes flashing red screen....no sound at all....when I move the mouse to unlock the screen - the sound comes back briefly and the login window appears.
    Any resolutions to this problem? Thanks in advance.

  • IPhone 6 Blue Screen and Static noise?

    So basically, here's the gist. I recently (not really recently, around October/November 2014) got an iPhone 6. I had gone straight from the 4 to the 6 so I haven't adjusted to it not being able to fit in my back pocket like my 4 did, resulting in it falling out of my pocket and landing on concrete, cracking a lot of the screen. Now, I'm fine with cracks so long as it only messes with the appearance of my phone. Meaning if it functions normally I see no need in getting it fixed. It functioned perfectly fine the following months until maybe mid-Decemberish where this happened for the first time. I was on Instagram trying to view a video. The "buffering video" symbol disappeared from the upper right hand corner signaling the video had started but I was still staring at the same thumbnail image. Thinking maybe it was a rip off video I decided to try and view another video. The same thing happened. As well as another time with one of my own videos. So this third time it happened the video began to play but then froze, but no pause or stop button appeared as usual. Instead my phone went to a blue screen, and static was heard coming from the speakers very faintly. It then went black and rebooted, taking me to the home screen. I looked into this issue and was told it was probably just a software problem and wouldn't happen again. Since then I have been experiencing bugs such as my screen lagging or simply not responsing to my touch, apps crashing the moment I open them, and my camera acting up, but it never went blue, though Instagram videos still refused to play. Until just now. Once again I was attempting to watch an Instagram videa that started to play but stopped mid-video and the screen went blue again with the same static then back to black and proceeded to reboot. By now I've decided to seek professional help which led me here to this forum. Any help? Thank you.

    Today was second time I got my phone back without Apple Premium Service Provider found anything wrong. I get "blue screen of death" all the time. I have even tried to create a new Apple id but I got the "blue screen of death" directly when i tried to install any apps.
    I now have an expensive worthless iPhone 6 that I can't use and Apple says it's nothing wrong with that. I'm going to throw this piece of **** in the garbage and buy a Samsung instead because I need a phone that works and that I can rely on.
    Thanks for nothing,

  • Red screen and freeze... huh?

    I was happily viewing a simple .mov file before, when the computer suddenly froze and a red curtain came down from the top of the screen (not solid... but making everything on my screen tinted red). Little spinning wheel... everything else frozen. On reboot everything seems to be back to normal. I asked Applecare... they never heard of such a thing.
    Any ideas?

    I had the same problem happen to me twice. And it occured whenever I viewed a quicktime movie file. It doesn't do it anymore, but you never know...
    It must have something to do with the graphics card.

  • Mac book White Screen and Weird noises

    Hi my Mac book pro fell off real hard and now the screen is all white and it makes this wired noise and even when I press the power button and shut it and then restart it , it's still the Same … Please help I need my photos in there and everything :(

    It's rather obvious that you damaged some hardware (and what it is is anyone's guess) when your computer 'fell off real hard'.
    The best thing that you can do is to take your computer to an Apple Store or an AASP and have them check it out. If your hard drive isn't damaged, it's likely that you'll be able to recover your photos.
    Good luck,

  • Really weird and annoying noise

    When I use iChat (video chat) I get this really weird interference or noise, won't start at first but I hear it building up then it gets to be too loud and I can't hear anyone. And only I can hear it. To describe it, it sounds almost like a helicoptor or something and kind of like a pulsing static that changes volume. If anyone knows how to fix this I would reaally appreciate any tips.

    its not high pitched and im the only one that can hear it. im using a Logitech USB headset and im wondering would the sound not occur if i just use the internal mic and speakers in the iMac. but im concerned that any sound coming through the speakers would be immediately picked up by the mic.
    oh and also the person i chat with is using a pc but like i said im the only one that sound occurs to and its really really annoying.

  • Lightened screen and buzzing noise on Satellite A50

    Hi there,
    I have had a small issue with the screen on my laptop for a few months but its progressively getting worse. Once side of the screen was significantly lighter than the other but you can still see whats going on. As time went on the lightened area has become larger and now its covereing almost half of my screen.
    There is also a buzzing noise that sounds like a shorting connector coming from the top edge of the laptop near the hinges. This noise random sometimes staying for hours and sometimes not appearing for hours.
    From looking on the forums my guess is its a problem with the inverter but before i but one and start tearing my laptop apart i would like any comments for feedback about this problem to see if anyone else has had a similar issue.
    Photo here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2527956/laptopscreen.jpg
    Thanks for any feedback everyone.

    hi durbs77,
    jackpot! 2 parts defektiv!
    got no A50 but:
    the problem with the screen (halfpart whitend) may be a defectiv cable...
    or the lcd (hard to say without testing)
    the buzzing sound probably came (as said before) from the inverter...
    but hey a jackpot is rare!
    is this issue related to the angle you open the lid?
    so exchange the display cable first (btw: it is the cheapest of the parts) and look if it works ok then...
    only if you have still trouble change the other parts (lcd and inverter)
    i make a bet that half the problem is the cable...

  • MSI 270X random red screen and reboots

    Rigth now, i cant even start the PC, even in the BIOS menu, the image is all messy, some portions of the screen are blinking.
    Tested it in another computer, but happens the same.

  • IPhone 6 16GB CDMA flashing red screen after updating to 8.1

    I have the iPhone 6 16gb, Verizon. I just updated from 8.0.2 to 8.1 and now my phone is in a boot loop from apple logo to red screen then black screen, repeating. I am trying to see if there is a solution that does not require me to restore my phone, as I do not have a backup as recent as i would like.

    Hi,
    I had a similar problem last week with my nice shiny 3 week old iPhone 6. I noticed the Apple logo was on the screen, but it did not progress like a normal boot up. I restarted the phone, and it showed the Apple logo, then a red screen then cycled back to the logo and kept looping. I got the phone to the iTunes connection stage by keeping hold of the power button and the home button until the apple logo appeared then kept holding the home button. iTunes recognised the phone, and wanted to restore, but this was unsuccessful  because the phone would keep looping to the red screen and iTunes failed. After loads of Apple support, I was told it was a hardware failure, and like you I live more than an hour away from the store. None the less, I made an appointment with the Genius bods, and they replaced the phone. They said they had never heard of the problem, but really, take a look at these forums and you will see that it is a common problem and I suspect they are keeping it under wraps...
    My issue is that as a disappointed customer with faulty goods, why should i have to stick to an appointment to get it replaced? What other store would you have to do this?
    The "Genius" didn't even want to see the phone powered up before offering a replacement... Oh, and it turned out they didn't have the exact same model as a replacement so they were going to send me out of the store empty handed.... I kicked off BIG time, and they very reluctantly gave me a phone from the sales stock, rather than the repairs stock..
    Not a happy Apple customer anymore, and I feel the more people who know about the lack of service and customer care the better. They need to get off there high horse and join the real world!
