Conclusions so far on the display problems?

After reading thread after thread about the display problems this is what I understand:
Most of the 20-inch Alu-iMacs seem to have problems? Not being able to show solid colours without a gradient from top to bottom is the biggest issue?
"Alot" of the 24-inch Alu-Imacs have problems with a left to right gradient, often white to yellowish white.
Apple is not admitting that the Alu-iMacs have general display problems. (Maybe due to too cheap display technique?)
We don't know for sure if it is hardware or software related?
Is wait and see the best practice for one who want to buy a new 20-inch Alu-iMac?
/Krister

What I'd like to know is why? Could the bottom lamp be getting more power than the top one from the inverter board?
I received a lot of these for our labs and most of them (I haven't opened them all yet) have lower lamps that appear almost twice as bright at the top lamps... It's in the hardware, and I don't know what to do about it.
So, where is the problem? Traditionally the lamps (usually two below and two above) are identical models, so could this be an inverter issue? Has anyone tried to get a voltage reading from the lamps to see how much output the inverter is giving them? (Not at all suggesting, just asking. I know what Apple would say if I asked people to go cracking their iMacs open.)
Could the layer of glass in the LCD be refracting more light toward us in the bottom 2-3 inches and away from us for the top 2-3 inches?
It's frustrating to experience, but worse to not even know what causes it. Because, to Apple engineering... What problem? There must be one bad LCD out there... and we all have it.
Anyway, anyone who has any light to shed on the subject I'd love to hear it... (just add it to the top few inches of my display.)

    Hi, everyone,

    Could you tell me where I could find the system requirement about Adobe Reader patch 11.0.09?
    I couldn't find any information about system requirement of Adobe Reader patch 11.0.09.

    I could install and upgrade Adobe Reader to 11.0.09 as the following picture.
    I will roll back the version of Adobe Reader from 11.0.09 to 11.0.07 and test the problem appear or not.

  • The display problem in LAC head data

    HI, my experts :
       The purchaser create one auction ,and input the Automatic Extensions(Remaining Time Trigger\Extension Period\Number of Extensions),and then publish it .In my opinion ,the bidder can not see these fields.But  in my system ,the bidder can see them .IF so ,I think these fields are useless,because ,the bidder will know the end time and the Number of Extensions,then he can submit the bid in the right time that he want .
       Is it the standard function of the system ?Or some configures can control these fields to dispaly or not .
    Thanks ! BR!

    HI,Jay :
       I am sorry .I do the testing . The setting about the "Extension Info"is useful for Applet. But the "Automatic Extensions" information is in the "Auction parameters". Do you have any other suggestions?

  • Problems with the display...

    the display of my macbook pro slides to one side and what should be on the left is now on the right and in the middle is a black bar. then osx says i must restart my computer, but when i've done this the same problem is appearing after some time of work. What can I do??

    Hi SassiDasWusel,
    I'm sorry, I don't know how to fix your problem. Searching for other "lines in the display" problems yielded unsolved threads. My recommendation is contacting Apple for servicing. Since you bought it last Feb, it should be under warranty.

  • Display Problem with RowHeader of a Scroll Pane

    Hi,
    I am trying to display row headers for a table using another table
    Here is the code
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.table.*;
    public class RowNumberHeader extends JTable {
      protected JTable mainTable;
      public RowNumberHeader(JTable table) {
        super();
        mainTable = table;
        setModel(new RowNumberTableModel());
        setRowSelectionAllowed(false);
        JComponent renderer = (JComponent)getDefaultRenderer(Object.class);
      public int getRowHeight(int row) {
        return mainTable.getRowHeight();
      class RowNumberTableModel extends AbstractTableModel {
        public int getRowCount() {
          return mainTable.getModel().getRowCount();
        public int getColumnCount() {
          return 1;
        public Object getValueAt(int row, int column) {
          return new Integer(row + 1);
    }and then
            JTable displayTable = new JTable(...);
            scrollPane = new JScrollPane(displayTable);
            JViewport jvp = new JViewport();
            jvp.setView(new RowNumberHeader(displayTable));
            scrollPane.setRowHeader(jvp);the problem I have is that when a row is selected inside the row header, some rows go blank and you can see the selection is all screwed up. I tried setting the selection mode to ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION but that didn't help.
    A refresh of the entire screen (minimize/maximize) seems to resolve the problem. I am using jdk1.4.1 in Windows 2000.
    Any ideas?
    Sylvain

    Again the problem is that when you click on the row headers, some row header rows go blank (completely white) so you can't see what they show.
    ie say I have table
    Row 1 - 1  2  3
    Row 2 - 2  4  5
    Row 3 - 5  7  7
    Row 4 - 5  6  7where Row X is the row header. So for example, if you click on Row 2, you will get something like
    Row 1 - 1  2  3
    Row 2 - 2  4  5
          - 5  7  7
    Row 4 - 5  6  7until the screen is refreshed or you click some other row header.
    hmm ok, I added calling repaint on the table whenever a row is selected and at least the display problem goes away; however, the selected indexes from the event don't always match the index of the row selected. I think actually that may be the source of the display problem.
    Here is the code I added in the constructor:
            getSelectionModel().addListSelectionListener(new ListSelectionListener()
                public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e)
                    System.out.println("Header table selection is: First = " + e.getFirstIndex() +
                                       " Last = " + e.getLastIndex());
                    RowNumberHeader.this.repaint();
            });

  • My original post, locked by this forum. Display problem related

    Hi G5 Gurus,
    The display problem first, we all know when screen savers display, a click on the mouse will bring you back to the active desktop, this was how it worked., but now, sometimes a click cause the G5 to sleep!
    As for the sleep, I dare not to put it to sleep these days, because I am afriad it may cause a fire by over heating. Sometmes, actually four times in the past few months, my G5 could wake up by itself, followed by a extrem high speed running of the cooling fan, it sounded like a hair dryer running in the same room. Sometimes the sreen could light up, just like real wake up, sometimes, it was black. No clicks the mouse or keyboeard could bring it back to normal, I had to press and hold the power button to turn it off.
    This crazy problem happened for the first time last summer, a dead hard disk was the cost. Apple replaced it, but failed to detect the cooling or power or display problem. I was given one month extended free service, but right after its end, the problem was back and happened even more often.
    Please let me know if any of you had the same problem and please advise what to do.
    100s Gs of thanks.

    I have the EXACT same problem. In fact, I could not have described it better myself. What gives? I brought it in to the "genius" bar and they repolaced the power supply free of charge but the problem is still there. I noticed they ordered a new logic board but did not end up replacing it after all. Did you have yours replaced and did it work? Is this a known issue?

    Hi La teller,
    Thank you for your reply. The 'genius' here in London only replace the dead hard disk, which I belive was a victim of this problem. I was told they couldn't find anything wrong with the power supply or the cooling system.
    Now at lest I know I am not the only bad luck guy. Let's wait and see if others are having the same problem. I am not sure if this is a known issue to Apple, even if it is, it may take years before they can offer a recall or free repaire. I noticed that some G5s have already been suffering from power problems and a free repaire was offered.
    Thank you again and hope Apple can take our concerns into their consideration soon.

    Hello,
    I'm also having this problem (fan running, won't come out of sleep), just spoke with an apple care rep. He confirmed my suspition that it was software, not hardware as I have just had the logic board and power supply replaced.
    His suggestions were to:
    1. Run disk repair from the startup CD
    try running OS X from a firewire drive and see if the same behavior happens or
    perform and archive and install.
    When the fan starts to run like that it means the OS is not communicating with the hardware properly. The OS could be somewhat corrupt if you were having hardware issues beforehand, hence the need for a reinstall. I will be performing an archive and install after the disk repair, I'll let you know if it fixes the problem!

    Hi Stopha6,
    Thank you for your message. I never imagined it could be a software issue, cos it looked so hardware.
    Please keep me updated with your progress.
    By the way, as I said in my old posts, a hard disk went dead when this happened for the very first time, how do you read this?
    Thank you.

    Hi Stopha6,
    After reading your reply again, I realized that the system had already been reinstalled. As I said when it happened for the first time, the hard disk died with it, which was replaced, of course with a new OS X, but the same problem is still happening. May this suggest that it is not just a software problem? Thank you. Songyan

    The Fans going at full is only because you have an application that is using a lot of cpu power and therefore causing the imac to heat up so it turns the fans on. The screen-saver and sleep problem you describe sounds like something that may just happen on accident. But this sounds mostly like a software problem. Try making sure to always quit all non-apple products and see if anything changes.

    Thank you, Ag-Nate. I will try as you adivised but I con't think the fans were activeted my intensive CPU using. In most of the cases, the problems happened when the Mac was sleeping, when the minimum CPU were being used.

    "The Fans going at full is only because you have an application that is using a lot of cpu power and therefore causing the imac to heat up so it turns the fans on."
    That's only partly right. A hard-working process will make the fans run at high speed, of course.
    But, the OS is in touch with the firmware of the iMac, telling it how to run the fans, based upon information the OS X kernel is getting about the state of the hardware.
    If the firmware loses touch with the OS for some reason, and is not getting instructions on how to run the fan, it will default to running them at full blast, to be on the safe side (and this "full blast" fan mode is way louder than anything you'll generally experience during normal usage, I know from experience).
    So it may not be so simple as a hard-working cpu process kicking the fans on.

    Hi I have a 20" G5 imac it's about 18 months old and I am having the same problem, It freezes and the fan runs really loud. It's nothing to do with software as my I.T. guy has done a complete re-install. All of our admin people have imacs of differring ages and the flat panels are all OK but every one of the G5s has had a booting problem. Some fell into the recall for replacement logic boards but the one I have at home is the newest and doesn't. I'm waiting for my apple reseller to get back to me, but it looks like it's the logic board and as none of the serial numbers fall into the recall, I'm expecting a big bill. I'm really disappointed as I've been a professional apple user for over 15 years and have grown to expect a certain amount of honesty and integrity from them. Looking at all of the discussion boards and the amount of people complaining of the same problem the logic boards are defective and apple should be replacing these free of charge.

    Kensall,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    As in the other thread I wrote:
    Being from England, you may find the repair program under these pages:
    http://www.apple.com/uk/support/imac/repairextensionprogram/

    I am having a very similar problem. My G5 imac has already had the logic board replaced from the leaking capacitor problem. 8 mos. later the power supply was replaced under the second recall program when it failed to start up.
    It had been working now for almost a year, when about 3 mos. ago I started to experience the sudden dimming effect - if the display was untouched the screen would dim about 30% similar to a laptop in energy save mode. I checked and none of these types of options were set in the pref panes. At the same time I would have the iMac go to sleep after a while from non-use, and then when I tried to wake it it would stir for a few seconds and then go right back to sleep. It took 2-3 attempts to wake it up.
    Then last week, as I tried to wake it, it just shut down instead completely. I had to hold the power button down to recycle it to get it to come back to life (3 times).
    Today was it - I found what I thought was a sleeping iMac, but it will not power up at all. I opened the back cover and the power supply is working, but I cannot get the board to energize, I reset the PMU, but the #2 LED won't even blink. It is completely dead.
    Basically every time I used this computer I held my breath that it would not work. After 2 recalls I still only get 9 mos. out of it? Apple is really starting to show it is like the "big" computer makers, the quality is going right down the tubes.

  • Display problem import photos

    Hello,
    I have a display problem when I try to import photos into Lightroom.
    I use the version 5.2.
    The problem can be viewed in the following video.
    At the begining you can view that there is something weird as under the folder "Panoramas" there is a grey block where there should be the rest of the folders onmy disk.
    Then, I try to select a folder on my disk MacHD or SaveSSD and everything is ok.
    And when I come back on my disk MacSSD, everything is going wrong (it begins when I click on "Panoramas").
    Any idea how to fix this ?

    My video was just to illustrate the display problem.
    As I said before I had it when I import from my SD card. My common workflow is importing from the SD card to the MacSSD disk, with a renaming. That's why I choose copy and not just Add to the catalog.
    By the way, I had another strange thing. In the Folders on the left side of the Library module I got 2 times the same name (folder "2013").
    I right-clicked and refesh folder, LR asked me to merge the both folder "2013" and it somehow seems to solve the import problem.
    I don't really get what I did.......

  • User data causing display problems?

    I had a user on an iBook whose display was completely washed out. The image was so white and there was so little detail that it was mostly unreadable.
    So, I did a fresh load of 10.4 onto an older Powerbook G4 that had no issues, and I used the Setup Assistant to transfer over his all of his User Data, settings, and applications.
    As soon as the Powerbook rebooted, it had inherited the display problem!
    A fresh install on the iBook shows that the display is now fine. Somehow, this problem is travelling with the user's data, settings, and applications.
    I've played with the display and color settings, but they have no effect on the problem.
    The only unusual application that he was running was some "Ding!" app from Southwest Airlines.
    Any idea where to look to hunt down this problem?

    Check the contrast setting in the Universal Access pane of System Preferences; this setting can cause what you describe.

  • Sort by kind display problem - only folder icons

    Hi, I have the following problem with Finder in Lion (happened in all 10.7.0 to 10.7.3):
    When I use the "sort by kind" function in Lion, usually the categorie is displayed in a lighter text with a line underneith. Now it happens from time to time (suddenly) that the display changes and instead of the lighter text, the categories are displayed as "folders". Except they are not folders, the sorting still works and I cannot click on them. The category titles just look like folders and even have a folder icon in front of them.
    When I re-select "Sort by kind" the problem is gone for a while.
    I took a screenshot of how it is supposed to look: http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/3913/findergood.png
    And how it looks after Lion changes to the "display problem view": http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/2347/finderbad.png
    Note that in the second screenshot the very left column still behaves like expected but every layer underneith (that is to the right of it) has the display problem.
    I also encountered that when this happens, I am not able to simply drag-and-drop files in Finder anymore. Instead I have to select them first (by blicking on them) and then drag them. Usually this first click to select is not necessary. Again, after re-selecting "sort by kind" this problem is gone.
    Also, this happened on all the Macs I own that run Lion, so I'm pretty sure it is not a system specific problem.
    Is there a solution to this issue?

    Does no one have any idea on this?

  • My new MacBook Pro has display problems

    I am new to Mac. I had purchased a brand new MacBook Pro 13 inches with i7 processor on April2 this year, Within 10 days the display screen started to grey out and later  on develop horizontal lines. I telephoned Apple support and when a telephonic solution  became unlikely I was asked to take it to an Apple Authorized service centre in my town. The technician there could not clearly explain to me what was wrong with the system, but I understood him to say that he has reinstalled the graphics driver and the system was trouble free for a prolonged time thereafter (at the service centre). I also understood him to say that should the problem recur again, he would have to replace the motherboard. I was on a travelling tour for a week after this and was not able to test out this repair (I took my old windows system with me for the travel) To my utter dismay the problem has recurred again after 28 days of purchase. I have attached screenshots. The button for uploaing videos is greyed out therefore  I will have to restrict myself to screenshots. All the three screen images occcur
    in turn and the system becomes unusable and I have to use the poweroff button. The display problems start within 10 minutes of switiching on the system.
    I took some time to discover these forums. The first time this problem occurred on my machin I posted this problem on mac-forums and I was advised to take it to an Apple store and let the apple genius bar worry about this one. I do not live wihtin any sort of manageable distance from such a place and the repair centre is an Apple Authorized Service Provider
    Coming to the emotional aspects of this technological glitch. I feel like I have been hit by a truck.I had saved and scraped pennies to buy this dream machine and I believed I was escaping the ficleness of windows. But no windows system of mine (I have three) become so unusable
    Will I have to spend time and effort to lug this machine to service centre to replace each of its component parts one by one ? Can I ever trust this machine to provide a presentation to an audience? What sort of an impression will I create if the system plays this trick on me in the middle of some presentation?

    Shootis007, What is CC company? I googled CC and got many different answers.
    I called Apple Support and told them my story and pressed for replacement and they told me repeatedly that there is no policy for replacement. The initial support person who attended my call asked me to take it to the seller and ask the seller for replacement. I dont think that is the way to go. I dont know what is his fault. He gave me a brand new system, the package was opened by me. Since I am new to Mac, I had taken a Mac user friend with me who showed me how to get started (right there in the shop) Neither the experienced Mac user friend nor I felt anything remiss at that time or later at the Seller level. Nevertheless I called the reseller and he explained his helplessness. I dont think it his fault at all.
    Since I kept insisting on replacment I was put through to another support person who took pains to reassure me that I should get the defective part replaced and thereafter all will be well. For now I trust him. I have no other alternative
    I really am puzzled. All you dear Mac users should know that the machine I dreamed of and really saved to purchase is giving me no end of troubles whereas my three windows machines sit there with their numerous stated deficiencies but gives me uninterrupted service

  • Nokia 5800 XM Display Problem

    I have Nokia 5800 XM with its version updated to V 21.0.025. I had purchased this phone in Jan 2009 and had no major issues till yesterday.
    Today when I unlocked the phone I suddenly saw a scrambled greyish display with flickring lines.
    I locked & unlocked the phone again, I got back the normal screen. I repeated locking & unlocking to check whether problem still persist or not, unfortunately the scrambled display showed up every alternate time I locked & unlocked the phone.
    I thought, restarting the phone will get rid of this problem, but restart didn't solve the problem.
    Then I thought of resetting the phone to its factory setting. I restored the phone to its original settings through *#7370# code but it was a futile effort.
    I checked about this issue on the web and found that lot of other people are also facing the same issue.
    for instance check the following video link which exactly demonstrates this display problem:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9A7yd-2eeA
    Now after a lot of reading on the web, I feel the display problem is a hardware issue and will get solved by Nokia Care people only.
    I am really disappointed with Nokia for such a poor build quality of this phone.
    I trusted Nokia for its superior build quality and durability and opted for this phone but it doesn't lived to its expectations.
    Now lets see what happens when I take this phone to Nokia Care...

    hi, i got my 5800 last friday and i think its a brilliant phone, but the screen randomly sometimes changes colour to red, green, blue and sometimes purple. I dont know if its a firmware problem (which i hope it is) or a fault with my phone.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem with their 5800??
    cheers
    try to make a full backup of your phone's data and try to do a full factory reset... it might help, otherwise head to the nearest Nokia Care Point
