C3-01 screen blinking problem

Whenever my phone(c3-01) mistakenly drops on the floor,its screen starts to blink,attimes it will last for less than 1week or more. If i switch off my phone at that point in time,and i try to turn it on,the screen will be blank(black),whereas its already turned on. Pls what's the cause of this and the sloution to it?
Solved!

Dear Friends:
I faced the similar problem. My C3-01 is still under warranty. First time when I went to Nokia Care Center at Akurdi-Pune, I was asked to pay Rs. 1200 for the replacement of the display card. Then it was returned to me after 10 days. Again the screen went off within two days. I took it to the care center & they returned me after about 8 days. After I used it for a week, again the screen has gone blank. This time I am unable to understand what to do with this. If I take to Nokia care center, there might not be any change in the story. I have lost the confidence on them. Please look into the matter, else I have the only option of dropping into dustbin.
Best Regards,

N770 TF 2GD5/OC Gaming black screen blinking problem

Hello there,
i upgraded my PC 4 days ago with a MSI N770 TF 2GD5/OC Gaming graphic card. I installed the newest graphic drivers. Clean install and without nVidia Experience. My problem is black screen blinking when i am playing or watching. Screen turns to black for 1-5 seconds like monitor lost its signal. It happening when i click to fullscreen button. No matter if its in youtube or windows. It happening every time. It does the same when i am playing. Big lag and then black screen blinking for 10 sec. Sometimes more sometimes less than 10 sec. I used Google and i am not the only one, who have this problem. Some people says, that GPU BIOS flash helped but in MSI website is only one BIOS and i dont know if its newer than mine or not. S/N of my card is 602-V282-380B1404100829 (if it helps) and my current bios is here h t t p ://leteckaposta.cz/186979270 (just click on the GK104.rom in the middle). I think i tried almost everything. Registry clean, anti malware and spyware, drivers re-install, turn W Aero Off, UAC off and other worthless tips how to fix this issue. I monitored my PC with many temperature software and i am 100% sure, that overheating isnt the problem. So could you please check if the MSI Bios is newer than mine or tell me what to do to fix this irritating problem?
Thank you very much
PS: I am not a native speaker and english is my 3rd language tbh, so please excuse any grammar mistakes

you are using latest vbios version, test the card in another PC

Java JTable Screen Blink Problem.

Dear All,
I am facing Screen blink issue while using the JTable.
JTable is updated in real Time, It uses custom table model.
To update the JTable, I update the Table Model and then call the UpdateUI() and repaint(). These update process is running in non-AWTevent-dispatch thread. So, During the real Time Update of the Table, When we do some rough handling work on the Table( for example, press the Enter Key on the Table for 1-2 minutes, move the Scroll Bar up and down fastly etc), It throws the following exception and the Table starts blinking.
java.lang.NullPointerException

The blinking also moves to Other Components such as JTree which is doing real time update in another screen of the Same Application.
How to resolve this Screen Blinking Phenemenon ? Some suggested to use SwingUtilities.invokeLater() for UpdateUI(). But, I am concerned about the performance, using it in real time update as it may create many threads, it may cause other performance issues. Is other any other better solution ?
Looking forward to your comments !
Thanks !

To update the JTable, I update the Table Model and then call the UpdateUI() and repaint(). No need to call updateUI() (I'd like to shot the person in the forum who keeps suggesting that and shot the people who keep using the method without reading the API to see what it actually does) or repaint(). You simply update the TableModel and the table will repaint itself.
Here is a simple example of real time updates to a table from a non-GUI thread:

Trying to install snow leopard on my Macbook Pro. After already having problems with Grey screen, blinking file with a question mark, etc. Computer now says that one of the hard drives is failing.The "hitachi" drive says it's failing in disc utility.

o.k. So, I've been tinkering with several "self help" fixes for several days now with no positive results. I'll explain my initial problems and then end with my most current situation. In hopes that someone out there will have a good suggestion or possibly remedy for the issues i'm facing
First, my problem started after my wife played a game on my macbook pro and the computer froze. She went into a panic and decided to shut down via power button. When computer restarted she got the blinking file/grey screen and that problem continued for a couple of days before I began using steps from various support topics from apple concerning the grey screen/blinking file folder.
Ultimately, yesterday I decided to erase my Macintosh HD file as one tip suggested. Following the brief online and on screen (via the process) tips that were there. Once that was completed I attempted to reinstall snow leopard (my most current version on hand) into the pc.
At first, I thought this would work. It looked promising. But, after several hours the installation screen returned with failure. I attempted to repeat. And, even repair drives during this try and re-try process.
Now, today, one of the drives.. "hitachi..." states that it's failing and is in red letters with no ability to repair via the disc utility screen. The Macintosh HD drive shows that it's o.k. But, this drive is listed under the HItachi drive so I think that's where a problem might lay.
So, I guess my question really revolves around.. What if anything can I do to get the hitachi drive back up? (short of taking it to a repair facility and replacing.)
And, how on earth can i get my OSX back up to I have a laptop again.
Operating on a macbook pro here. It's my lifeline. Otherwise, I am using a Windows desktop that i'm not that fond of. lol
I'm trying to bring this 2006 laptop back to life. Trying to avoid a rather expensive repair or the purchase of a new laptop. Also expensive...
Any help would be appreciated.

Well, running on a 2006 model. I did not have a startup disc. Initially, it booted up on original software in 2006. Since then, I've upgraded to 10.6 via a box set. And, since then I think I popped it up to lion.
All I have on a disc is snow leopard. And, I can't get farther than the setup screen due to hard drive. I'm taking to a apple authorized repair store right now. We'll see what they tell me . I'm just going to weigh the cost of repair vs. buying new.
Another bad, stupid thing is I had no means of backing up my stuff. So, I might have lost things like music, vids, etc. we'll see if they can recover. If the cost is too much for repair I might just forget it and start over with a new system. Just not sure at this point.

Z77A-GD65 Multiple BIOS Issues - B4 Hang, Splash Screen Blinking

Back in November 2012, I built a home server with a Z77A-GD65. Lately, I've noticed some strange things happening that I've been trying to research but to no avail.
First off, I get the B4 code hang-up whenever I'm booting. This doesn't matter if it's a cold boot or a reboot, it hangs on B4 for about 10-15 seconds, flashes 92 really quick, and then goes to A2 which it stays for another 5 or so seconds. After that I get the MSI splash screen for about 1 second, then it blinks 5 times. After that it goes into Windows just fine.
The blinking is a new issue, the B4 hang is not. I've read from multiple posts that this is a USB issue. When I disable USB legacy support, the issue goes away, but of course then I can't have legacy support. I have yet to figure out what exact device is causing it. In the process of trying to figure this out, I updated BIOS to A.A0. After updating to this version of BIOS the splash screen blinks 5 times before going to the "Starting Windows" splash screen. This is a more difficult issue to figure out why it's doing this because if you search for "BIOS" and "flash" or "flashes" or "flashing", you typically get results for flashing your BIOS. Hence, why I'm using the term "blinking". But even then I can't really find a solution out there.
I also happened to see that the website for the Z77A-GD65 is showing a newer BIOS version, but I'm unable to flash this (at least using M-Flash). I threw it on a USB, re-enabled USB legacy and whenever I click on it to install, the BIOS screen hard locks. The screen just freezes exactly where it's at in the BIOS and the mouse is dead. However, I can CTRL+ALT+DEL on the keyboard and it will reboot the system so I don't need to power cycle the computer. Not sure why this is happening either. Perhaps I need to flash this a different way? Maybe I don't need to flash this at all?
I could really use some input here on why this is happening.
As for the specs on my system, they're as follows:
i7-3770K overclocked to 4.2 Ghz by using the Turbo Mode in BIOS
32GB Komputerbay DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz DIMM with Low Profile Blue Heatspreaders Quad Channel RAM | 9-9-9-24 XMP ready
AMD PowerColor 7870 Myst Edition GPU - currently not overclocked although overclocking this doesn't seem to affect any issues
2 - 128 GB Corsair SATA III SSD - one runs the OS, the other I use to load games from
2 - 500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM Sata II HDD's mirrored via Windows 7
1 - 750 GB Seagate Barracude 7200 RPM Sata II HDD
1 - 1 TB Western Digital MyBook USB 2.0 external
2 - 3 TB Seagate USB 3.0 external
ASUS DVD Burner - not sure which one, it's a cheapy $20 from Newegg
1 - PCI USB 3.0 expansion card
Antec TruePower New TP-550 Modular 550W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.3 / EPS12V V2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply
NZXT Switch 810 gunmetal - currently have 4 fans running but plan on more, also the Switch 810 has the multi-card reader in the front with 1x SD Card, 2x USB 2.0, 2x USB 3.0
for peripherals
1 - Microsoft 360 Wireless controller adapter (legit one, not the knockoff although I had a knockoff prior to getting the real deal)
1 - Logitech Wireless USB Keyboard with Touchpad
I tried to be thorough. Thanks in advance for any help!

Probably a USB device problem.
This is a candidate, as well as mouse and keyboard. Disconnect USB devices one at a time to find the culprit.
A lot of devices running. PSU a +12V single rail or is it multi rail? A rail going to the graphics or components may not be enough amps. My best guess is the card reader.
For UEFI/BIOS flashing, select your mainboard here and use the forum flash method;
I'll definitely try unplugging some of these USB devices to see if that helps with the B4 hang issue.
As for the PSU, according to the description for it on Newegg: "Four industry-leading independent +12v rails are provided for more stable and safer power output." It has two rails going to the GPU. The GPU is a new addition to the system and so I wasn't running it until recently. The issues were occurring beforehand, but you're right that this PSU is underpowered for the rig considering PowerColor recommends a minimum of 500w. I'm going to be buying a larger capacity one sometime in the very near future. Any recommendations on good modular PSU's? What's a good way to tell what wattage to get?
Thanks for letting me know about the forum flash method. I'll be back later when I have some results.

Mid-2010 MacBook Pro Screen Blinks

Hello, the evening before going abroad, my MBP screen began to blink on and off to a black screen before returning to a temporary normal state. I have tried a PRAM reset and noticed that the boot screen runs fine with no flicker, but both the login and desktop screens blink? The battery is due for replacing soon, but I don't see the this having any impact on the screen blinking? I have searched for an appropriate EFI update but have not seen one
Has anyone come across this before on the 13"? Or has anyone got suggestions to resolve this issue?
Many Thanks in Advance!!!

I have the same problem with my late 2011 MBP 15

It seems to be a common problem, and a pretty expensive one to fix. I am hoping to be able to use the consumer rights we have in Sweden to get it fixed for free.

Nvidia GeForce 9400M makes my MacBook Pro screen blinks

I am using a Macbook Pro 2.4MHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067MHz DDR3.
That's the one with the Nvidia GeForce 9400M and the Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT.
Using the Nvidia GeForce 9400M, as my default video card, seems to make my screen blinks. That is random.
Apple's Hardware Test show no problems.
When I am using the Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT the screen blinks stops.
I am sure that all started after updating to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. I am currently running Mac OS X 10.6.5.
Is this a software problem or there is a problem with the Nvidia GeForce 9400M chip?
Does any is experiencing the same problem?
+the problem withe the screen blinking is quite old. I am mostly using my Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT as my default video card with no problem at all, but I want to be able to use my Nvidia GeForce 9400M because of the better battery life.
Any help will be valuable.+
Tom.

I have the same issue with mine and sadly I missed the date to get Applecare on this machine (they usually call but this time around they didn't). ***** that I didn't get this resolved before my warranty ran out .. I'm certainly not going to shell out for a replacement motherboard out of pocket. I now use the 9600 graphics exclusively and can almost watch my battery drop by the minute.
On a side note I'm not very impressed with the quality control Apple has had with their portables in the last few years. I bought this unit refurbished and it took two units to get one that worked properly, and even then this one never did as it's had this video blinking issue since day one. The problem is I didn't really notice it until recently when I started using it running more often on battery and decided to use the mobile chipset to save battery time. This is the third MBP I've had and their 3rd MBP that's had motherboard issues.
When it comes time to replace this one I'm seriously considering going with a macbook air or something else. Can't justify spending the money on more MBP's with such terrible track records.

Macbook pro screen blinks after connecting it to LED Cinema Display

Hello, just bought a 27 LED Cinema Display to connect my macbook pro 17 (early 2009).
Everything fine until today. After disconnecting my laptop to the display the screen of laptop blinks.
Never had this problem.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Ignacio

...but I need to be sure that my macbook will not stop working if I leave the problem with the screen blinks.
Of course you do — we all need to be sure our machines will keep working properly. Unfortunately, there's never any certainty about that, even if one's machine is working perfectly right now. But if it's any consolation, I've seen nothing posted in these forums to indicate that the blinks commonly foreshadow anything worse, so I think you can be reasonably confident that your machine isn't at the start of a predictable course of deterioration.

MacBook Pro screen blinks (Some new questions to ask)

Hello everybody, I have exactly the same problem:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1807105&start=480&tstart=0
My laptop is out of warranty, the Apple service in my country (Bulgaria) is very poor and I want to get the things in my hands. I have some questions:
1) My laptop display bliks - ok, its alright, maybe anoying but everything else works. Is it a problem to work with the display blinks or after few months my laptop will have other problems or will stop working?
2) Is it possible to found parts on the internet and repair it. Someone told me that I can found the needed parts on ebay but I see only logic boards for over 700$ I have only this issue with my laptop - the screen blinks, everything else is fine.
I'll be happy to hear some opinions from users who already have solved this problem. Thanks

Macbook Pro screen blinks - Possible solution

I have a MacBook Pro and the display screen blinks randomly. I changed Energy Saver in System Preferences from "Better battery life" to "High performance" and it seems to have solved the problem -- the screen no longer blinks. Just wanted to share this with other users.

Screen blinking when turning on my Mid 2011 MacBook Pro after recent update.

Just did the recent software update and my Mid 2011 MacBook Pro 13" when turning on the screen blinks until the computer is rebooted/restarted. Have never had a problem before. Of course, my Apple Care just expired the end of June 2014. Is anyone else having a problem?

Screen Blinks for a second straight after login. Please Help!?

First, these are my system info;
Product name: HP ENVY TouchSmart 15 Notebook PC
Product number: F6C80PA#ABG (0 is a zero not an oh)
Keyboard revision: KBC Version 93.51
Total memory: 8.00 GB
Processor name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40GHz
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 8.1
OS Version: 6.3.9600 Build 9600
System Type: x64-based PC
And, these are my graphics drivers installed;
Graphics device 1: NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M
Installed Drivers: nvd3dumx.dll,nvwgf2umx.dll,nvwgf2umx.dll,nvd3dum,nvwgf2um,nvwgf2um
Driver Version: 9.18.13.4052
Driver: c:\windows\system32\drivers\nviddmkm.sys
Graphics device 2: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600
Installed Drivers: igdumdim64.dll, igd10iumd64.dll, igd10iumd64.dll, igdumdim32, igd10iumd32, igd10iumd32
Driver Version: 10.18.10.3304
Driver: c:\windows\system32\drivers\igdkmd64.sys
Current resolution: 1920 x 1080
Refresh rate: 60
so I have this smart alternating switch thingy for my graphics which i suppose that
the screen utilizes either of these two depending on the demand for graphic resources
e.g. it switches on Intel HD graphics 4600 for displaying low-qual and NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M for displaying high-qual
to save power consumption or something that's as far as I know about my display drivers.
My laptop is reasonably new I think it's less than a year old
so i'm a bit overly pissed right now that my laptops showing symptoms of wearing.
so as the title suggests I've been noticing that when I startup and input my password,
and just as I press enter, the whole login screen blinks once very briefly and then loads up the desktop.
I know this seems only a minor issue and surely i have no major problems with running the machine
but I've been seeing forum posts of people having the same issue
and that it's a problem associated with malfunctioning graphics drivers.
So I thought maybe if the screen blinks before loading up the display,
then whatever media that I load up afterwards would not be displayed properly, since the driver is not working properly.
And since I believe that my NVIDIA display drivers are certainly capable of displaying some high graphics material
I thought maybe that I may be trashing the benefits of using a reasonable graphics card by not fixing this problem.
So I was just wondering if there's a way to resolve the blinking screen before startup problem,
which I believe is most likely to be indicating that my machine is not correctly detecting the display drivers installed
and hence is not showing any media as good as they should be showing.
I guess maybe I'll have to re-install the graphics drivers,
but I'm not sure if I would be luckly enough to run a "clean" re-install for "Both" the Intel HD Graphics and NVIDIA Geforce Graphics without confronting any technical disasters (i.e. me wrecking my machine)
So please help me with this!
and if a re-install is needed as such, please provide as many minute details as possible.

Hello @Aster_Wales,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I have read your post on how there is an issue of image flickering after you log in to your computer, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
To ensure that your notebook's drivers are up to date, I recommend following this document on Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 8). This should help with returning your system's original software and hardware drivers. To update these new drivers, I also suggest following this resource on Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 8).
If you still see your screen flicker after logging in, I recommend performing a system restore to a point before the screen started to flicker. This can be done by following this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).
Should the screen continue to flicker after using a restore point, I recommend performing a backup and recovery of your Operating System. This can be accomplished by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), as well as Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8). This should help to recover your system back to factory defaults.

IBooks Author slow, screen blinks

Hello,
iBooks Author (2.0) used to work fine on my MacBook Pro, although my computer is 5 years old. Lately, however, it has been running slowly and every time I try to do something, the whole document blinks and then comes back several times.
I've tried deleting the preferences, but that didn't help.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Eli

Hi again,
I now have 30 GB free HD space. The problem of a blinking screen, especially when working with widgets, is still there. In Activity Monitor, I can see that when the screen blinks, iBook Author's CPU usage goes sky high, once as high as 127%. What does that mean? How can I stop it?
Thanks,
Eli

Gray screen when turning on iBook G4 with tiny file folder in center of screen blinking the finder icon and a question mark. Have tried several things. Any help please??

Gray screen when turning on iBook G4 with tiny file folder in center of screen blinking finder icon and question mark. I cannot figure this out. Tried everything I know. Can someone help please???

Hello,
Ideally you need to boot from the disk as you have no other media advisable. (e.g your hard drive)
Without some form of system disk or restore you wont be able to diagnose the problem with your hard drive.
By using a Mac OS X system disk you can load up the Disk Utilities and repair the hard drive if shown it's available. If it's not available you would need to replace the hard drive and reinstall Mac OS. Without any disk to support you, you are going to struggle.
You can obtain replacement disk, both retail copies or system disk on the Internet.
If you know what version of Mac OS X you had install (I'm guessing that it would have been 10.3, but would recommend 10.4) A retail disk is normally black with a colored 'X' on it, while system disk are always.
Always try and obtain a copy of the system restore disks (Gray) for your iBook
Ebay is another outlet that has genuine system disk for sell, but like any auction site, it's as and when someone is selling them.
The only other thing you could do is take it to a Apple repair agent who could check the hard drive on your behalf. That way you can get confirmation if the problem is the drive or some other fault. They may even help restore the OS for you.
I can't think of anything else to try without some form of disk to help you.
There maybe just one other small thing you could try.
When booting up, firmly rest your palm of your hand on the iBook next to the tracker pad on the left side.
If it works then it's another fault that I'm aware of.
