Crack on screen?

My screen was very dirty, so I cleaned it with iKlear, but when I powered the computer back on, there's now an amorphous blob of space on the lower right hand corner of my laptop screen that is brighter than the rest of the screen. From the looks of things, it is a little larger and spreading down to the dock. It seems internal, but when I touch the screen, I don't perceive any difference in texture. What happened? I didn't wipe the screen any harder than I normally do when I clean the screen - a lot of dust collects on it. Did I do something wrong? It's getting a lot bigger now and I think I'm going to bring it to the Apple Store, but I'm worried something's wrong with the display. Has this happened before? What is the issue, exactly?
Thanks in advance.

By the way, eye glass lens cleaner makes very good LCD screen cleaner - and it is about 1/2 the cost of computer boutique screen cleaner. An anti-glare coated eye glass lens is at least as delicate as the MacBook screen and made from similar material.
Sam's club (and Wal*Mart) have an 8 fl. oz. bottle of lens cleaner, cloths, and various other goodies for $5.47. See: http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=326495
It doesn' have a hip sounding name that starts with the letter, "i," but it gets the job done!

A few months back I Dropped my iPhone 4 and I cracked my screen and now i cant unlock my phone due to touch screen not working plus there are blurred lines across the screen and I can't see anything that it displays.
Now when I try too connect my iPhone 4 to iTunes on my computer at home an error message comes up saying that I have to unlock my iPhone 4 for it to communicate to my device.
But the problem is that I can't unlock my iPhone 4 because I'm unable to see the key pad and my touch screen no longer responds when I touch it.
I just want to reset my iPhone 4 back to its Factory Settings & start all over from the beginning.
How can I unlock my iPhone 4 with iTunes on my computer or any other option you suggest me trying.
Thank you in advance,
SiHero

If you have had a "local guy "repair your iphone you will not get any support from Apple for warranty OR post warranty
If Verizon return it to Apple it wil not be handled by Apple
If Verizon also use unauthorised repairers you may be lucky
(Apple do not sell parts to local guys or anyone else )

You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the monitor. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the monitor and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the monitor your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.

I dropped my iPhone 4 & cracked its screen. Apple wants me to pay for replacement unit (I agree), turn in my old phone (??) & wait for 6 days (no problem). What do I do to access emails, Internet & make/receive calls during these 6 days?

I dropped my iPhone 4 & cracked its screen. I went to the service center to get it repaired. SInce it is not under warranty, i was willing to pay for repair charges.
They told me that the screen can not be repaired or changed, but they can replace my damaged set with an equivalent set, on payment of RM 760, roughly, 25-30% cost of a new one. I agreed.
They told me to:
1/ pay upfront
2/ leave my old set with them
3/ and the replacement unit will be delivered in 4-6 days.
I agreed on 1& 3 but not to leave my damaged set with them because it is still working and I don't have another spare phone with me, to serve me the 4-6 day waiting period.
THe service center guy told me that if I want a replacement, I have to agree to all 3 conditions and that I should buy another phone for 6 days. I told him that I constantly need email & Internet access, as part of my work responsibilities, so I can not do with a simple phone. It obviously, doesn't make sense to buy an expensive smart phone, go thru the trouble of transferring my data & mails & contacts - just for a week.
Unfortunately, all these logics fell on deaf ears & the service centre guy kept insisting on ALL of the above conditions.
I came back so flustered & upset.
I thought customer service was about solving problems & not creating hurdles for customers.
what should I do?
ANy advice?

What would you do for transportation if you drove your car into a tree and had to wait while it was fixed? You'd need to rent, borrow or buy another car, no? The same applies to your phone. This is not Apple's problem; if the service center does not have replacements in stock for immediate swap-out, then it's up to you to provide a backup device or do without.
If you're in a country where Apple provides direct service for iPhones, you may be able to call Apple support and arrange for advance replacement, where they send you the replacement phone and then you send back the old one. Apple offers such service in several countries, though you have to pay an extra fee for the service. If not, then you'll just have to wait for the service center to get in the replacement, and will have to arrange an alternative to use during that time.

Problem: Cracked glass screen (iPhone 4)

Problem: Cracked glass screen
Condition: my iPhone is less than 2 mos old.
Question: Totally aware that the warranty excludes damages due to accidents etc. but its freakin a month and a half old! Could it be repaired free of charge or for a cheaper cost? or replaced?!

What does its age have to do with being broken?
What is the difference between breaking a new iphone vs and old one? You broke it.
You can look for a third party repair facility (voids the warranty) to see if they are cheaper.

Spontaneous Crack in screen with out physical damage.

I am very discouraged to even post in this forum in the first place but none the less. Here is my situation. I purchased my Sony Xperia from a Tmobile retailer. The phone has been amazing and up until this point ive had no problems. I always have my phone in my pocket. if not its in my purse or on the charger. Today after leaving work , i retrieved my phone from my pocket to realize there was a crack in the screen. My first reaction was disbelief. How can you crack a screen with out dropping it, throwing it or inducing physcial harm to it? . My second reaction was even more disbelief. The crack is internal. If you run your fingers across the screen you can feel no crack its literally inside the phone. It looks like a peice of hair stuck on my phone. Here is my concern. I went to my local tmobile retailer who suggested since i had insurance to pay $175 deductible and then $50 for a loaner phone while my phone is fixed. Now if i would of damaged myself i would of payed this money . But i didnt damage my phone and im a single mother with bills i cant honestly be expected to dish out this type of money for an obvious defect. Then they told me to contact Sony, which i have since done and I wasnt very encouraged by the phone call. The Representive kind of gave me round about answers like . " I cant say its a known issue, but i can say were having some trouble". Or when i asked if it could be covered under warranty. I cant say we have to make sure you havent caused any physical damage to cause the problem. So in other words I have to pay to ship the phone back to sony , i will be with out a phone for up to 14 days for a "possibility" of them maybe covering it under warranty. Further more, how can you say its not a known issue, I've done my fair share of research and this is obviously a common problem with this phone and its predecessing versions. So Please Sony, could you enlighten me . What are the chances that you will honor your warranty, or at least look into this issue with integrity , because from what i can see is there is alot of blame being put on the consumer. What happen to belief in the customer or customer satisfaction. I really do love this phone but i am very dissapointed at being put in this situation.

I'm in the same situation left without a solution. My front panel just cracked by itself in my pocket. And the crack was also inside, so it was obvious that it wasn't caused by physical impact. I sent it to repair center, but of course they gave standard answer: "The damage is caused by a physical impact". But when I asked them to prove that, they didn't answer anything. And when I showed them links about the same problem which many users are confronted, they just gave me the same standard answer. For a repair they asked me $ 271. I unquestionably refused to pay $ 271 for a already $ 1000 premium phone for which damage I'm not responsible for. So they sent the phone back to my mobile operator from where I bought the phone. The phone operator also refused to meet me although I've been their client for a long time and bought 2 phones from them. Then I sent an official letter to the operator also giving them examples of other users. In the end they gave me some weird answers and didn't mention anything about the examples of other users. But, hey, they were willing to pay me $ 7.5 for moral damages. $ 7.5 for a 1000 phone for which I would have to pay another $ 271 for repair. It is laughing over the customer. Them I sent an official letter to customer protection agency and they basically gave me the same answer as my phone operator. Then I asked the expert to say something about the damage, but all tehy could tell me was that they can't prove anything. All this has lasted already about 6 months. And I can't use the phone properly because the front panel acts as a touch panel. So much of the Sony's over $ 1000 premium phone and excellent customer support. Back in the old days Sony was known for their quality products but not any more.

Cracked N96 Screen, Bought Replacement, Now no Bac...

The other day my N96 slipped out of my hand, and fell on the concrete, cracking the screen......I went on Ebay and bought a replacement screen.....I got the screen in today, took the old one out and replaced it.....Now I can see the phone turning on, but it seems to be a backlight issue......Because it doesnt light up.....I managed to do a hard reset, and nothing.......PLS HELP.....
PS-I had some backlight issues previously with the OEM screen before it cracked....
Message Edited by mavrata on 30-Apr-2009 08:24 PM

you messed your phone up yourself. If you dont have no nokia repair centre or warranty. at least im sure there is a mobile phone shop which does repair. You should have gave it them for repair and paid for the repair at least your device would have been working.
BTW the reason why your backlight dose not work is due to 2 reasons;
- Faulty mainboard
- Wrong LCD Revision you replaced it with. (on the back theres code)

Cracked lcd screen options and third party information

Before I get flamed, let me just say that up until now, I have been happy with my ipod, bought the extended warranty last year and two of my sons have ipod minis. However, now I am beginning to feel "screwed". My ipod photo now has a cracked lcd screen after being plugged into the wall for recharging. I have treated it well, have a soft cover on it, but no screen protector since it would fall out for me to be able to use the fm transmittor.
So after reading all the "stuff" on these boards and the internet, I am stuck. Since I have had to replace my ibook and updated a new hard drive, a new ipod will bring me over the limit of Itune transfers.
I will be calling apple support, but would like to know if anyone here has used any of the companies out there to replace the lcd screens?

I cracked my screen for my touch, it still works but the cracked is big and annoying . I'm still under warranty, will they fix it still?

It works fine. Some of my album covers are mixed up though, not sure its because of the fall. help me

It is very unlikely that Apple with replace your iPod under warranty since the warranty covers manufacturing and design defects. A crack screen is usually not caused by a defect. You can alway make an appointment at ter Genius Bar of an Apple store and ask.

Henry dropped the Ipod touch and cracked the screen. How can I get this fixed.

Hi,
Henry dropped his Ipod touch and cracked the screen and put in a passcode and now has forgotten his passcode. Need to know how I can get the screen fixed and or if it is covered on the 1 year warranty? How can I unlock the Ipod without the passcode?
Any info would be greatly helpful!

Take to an Apple retailer. Such damage is not covered by your warranty.
A Complete Guide to Recover Your iDevice if You Forget Your Passcode
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
Connect your device to your computer.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
Select the Summary tab.
Select the Restore option.
When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not necessary to create another.
Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up, you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple logo while starting up:
After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or you see "iPhone is activated."
The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
Placing your device into recovery mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.
