Cracked border around screen.

Hello,
Due to my carelessness (e.g., constantly carrying around my macbook pro with the screen open), a crack has developed in the lower left hand corner of the border surrounding the screen (not the actual screen itself). Now, every time I open or close the screen, the crack strains and it looks like it is going to snap.
Is this border around the screen just a piece of plastic that has no connection to the screen itself? Either way I am trying to figure out a way to support the crack (other than duct tape?) so it doesn't get strained any further. Hopefully, I have described this problem adequately, any help would be appreciated!

Hello, besides the two screws in the lower corners, that border is just clipped in for cosmetic reasons.

You can see how it connects to the display assembly here.
Cheers,
Glynn

Black border around screen

Hello, I'm not entirely sure when this started but I have an annoying 1/4" black border around my screen. I think it has to do with scaling, but can't find an option within the integrated Intel HD Graphics to change built-in monitor. This notebook has Intel HD graphics 4400, and is running the most current Intel Graphics HD and WIndows 8.1. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

, Hello and thanks for posting on the HP support forums. The first step you should try is a system restore back as far as you can go. This will change your configuration back and remove any updates that may have caused this. HP PCs - Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 10,8) Here are a couple other links that may be of help. HP Notebook PCs - Troubleshooting a Notebook LCD Panel Issue (Windows 8/8.1, 7) And.

Gray border around screen

My dog did a little of the old soft shoe on my keyboard and now I've got a translucent gray border around the edge of my screen. Anything obscured by the border is unclickable. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi, have you tried re booting?
Check your Expose & Spaces settings..

White border around screen after iOS update

Hi all
I just updated my ipad 3 to the latest version of ios and now i have a faded white border around the whole edge of the screen with the corners being rounded?! I have turned the device on and off and its still there?!? Has anyone else had this problem?!?

I agree with Nickshred. There just appears to be a small blank area all the way around the border now. I would say maybe 1mm area where the screen is no longer stretched all the way to the edges. I am positive it wasn't there before I updated, I would have definately have noticed it. It is really noticable when you are viewing the phone in direct light. When the sun is reflecting off the of phone, you can actually see the main screen is a black background with the icons on top of the black background. Then there is this small one millimeter edge all the way around that basically looks like the color of my LCD monitor when it is powered off. It is now just an unused portion of the screen. I keep wanting to stretch it or adjust it back to the edge.

Border Around Screen

So the part around my screen (the black border) isn't totally snapping in place for some reason. It hasn't since I can remember having my macbook. I still have applecare on it. If I take it to the genius bar can they look at it or do they only do hardware / software problems?
Especially in the upper left corner, I can feel it pop in and out of place. If I try to pop it back in place nothing happens and when I try and fix it I just it it constantly clicking.
Does anyone think they would take care of this or at least look into it for me? It takes me about 35 minutes to get to my apple store one way, so I thought I would try and ask here first before taking the trip up. Thanks!

I had the same problem where the case didn't snap shut perfectly. I happened above the screen near the camera and below the my right wrist near the trackpad button.
I didn't take it to a genius bar because it was a thirty minute drive, but I did take it to an authorized Apple Repair Center that was only five minutes away from my home and had no lines or any crowds. It was nice to get away from noise and hubub of the mall and the Apple store.
They fixed it up overnight at no charge. Everything was covered by Applecare!

How to get rid of shadowed border around screen on MacBook Pro?

Just wondering if anyone knows how to get rid of this shadowed border on the screen of my macbook pro. I think my young daughter made it appear when she was striking various keys at random on my computer when I was not there. The cursor does not work when its over the shadow (i.e. will not depress the red 'x' button to exit a window and I have to drag window out from under shadow to close it).
It also appears in the middle of screen when airplay is turned on. (See screen shots below)
I have been unable to find any other discussion on this issue.
Above is screen normally and below is when airplay is turned on. Please help, thanks.

Hi rose_hedley,
I'm wondering if you have restarted your computer by now and if that helped.
That border is from Exposé with Show Desktop enabled (F11).

Need to temporarily clear the clutter? Press F11 and watch all your windows scamper away.

White Border around the screen? 1/2 inch...

I have a white border around the screen, very noticable with any dark background...
Whats the deal with this?
Could this cause the display brightness to have to be turned up all the way just to get a good solid picture...?
This is not acceptable?

The lack of information, feedback, confirmation, etc that apple is famous for is exactly why I am deathly afraid of ordering the new 17" mbp. I have been stealing my girlfriends' peecee to catch up on emails and websites since I sold my old 15" mbp a couple months ago.
I was just about to pull the trigger and buy the new 17" mbp until the "delay", again no specific information given out by apple. Some people were charged secondary charges and had ship dates of the day of the announcement of the delay - which would logically dictate that there were plenty of machines that had to be un-packed, cracked open and "updated". So with all the unibody related issues, all the 9600 related issues, and all the screen issues of the 15" led, I am not sure i'll be able to play guinea pig for apple... yet again...

Bottom line, I'm hoping for a C86 or C87 to show up. Maybe that's hoping for too much.

IPhoto adds ugly black border around imported screen grabs

When I grab a picture of an application screen (using cmd + shift + 4 and then hitting the space bar over the application), I get a screen grab that opens fine in Preview, but when I drag/import it to iPhoto, it adds an ugly thick black border around the whole picture. Why? Is there any way to stop this from happening?

Missed the Command....... I have used that command and don't get the border except when viewing the file as an thumbnail in the Finder.
Do you have a MMe account? If so upload the screenshot file to the Pictures folder and use the following code to add it to a post:
Click to View Photo
You'll get this: Click to View Photo. It's a screenshot of the screenshot and it's presentation in Safari.
So, I can see immediately from the photo in the link above that you have not used the key combi I am talking about - was that intentional?
Anyway, here's the link, and you can quite clearly see the drop shadow.

I have an iPhone 5 and just recently when I get the camera button and it opens there is a black border around the screen and the screen is small and I don't know what I did to cause it or what to do to make it go away anyone help

I have an iPhone 5 and just recently when I opened the camera there is a big black border around the screen causing the picture itself frame to be smaller I don't know what I did to cause this or what I can do to make it go away can anyone help/

First off, try a reset of the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, see if the problem persists.

My iPad 2 with iOS 7 touchscreen is no longer responsive, although date/time is current as are off screen buttons. Tapping the screen merely produces a rectangular border around the tapped log in digit. No 'black to white' registers on the upper 4 dots

Excuse brief text to above due to input limitations in original input field. I'd be grateful if anybody can give me any help to recover the situation. Thanks.

Silver border around my screen, instead of black.

I chose to add "MacBook Pro 15-inch Hi-Res Antiglare Widescreen Display [Add $ 150.00]" to my MacBookPro, but has also gained a silver border around my screen now, instead of the black. Why?

Still, I do not understand why Apple chose to use grey instead of just the other one.... They should just have made this grey one black aswell looks way cool'er..
Easy,
The anti-glare film is applied directly to the LCD panel at the LCD panel factory and in order for the anti-glare film to exhibit it's properties, it needs to be exposed directly to the light rays bouncing off of everything so it can diffuse them at the surface layer and give you a nice clear picture to view.
If you think about it, a glossy pane of acrylic/glass over the anti-glare LCD panel would render the anti-reflective properties ineffective.
So a bezel is needed to hold the anti-glare LCD panel in place in the frame, so Apple decided to use the same strong aluminum that the casing is made out of, likely from a spare cut off of the machining process along the line, which makes it less expensive than producing a whole new bezel from another material, perhaps at another factory.
Apple could have colored the aluminum bezel black, however that would have obscured the "MacBook Pro" logo at the bottom, and then that would have had to be changed. So it's a snowball effect of too many steps to get the two bezels to look similar, which was very likely hard to do.
But dude.. u just made my day! i'm happy i chose the antiglare now (as i'm working as a graphic designer) ^^, well i've been since I first got the mbp, but lso thought alot about the border around the screen aswell...
As a designer myself in my early days, we had CRT displays and they were all glossy and even slightly rounded, which reflected even more than the flat panel glossy displays of today.
So as a youngster I was wondering why my eyes hurt everyday at work, I was having headaches and so forth, but didn't know (nearly no one did) what the cause was and just accepted it as a occupational hazard.
Then one day we all got these silly looking anti-glare screens hanging in front of our CRT's, they didn't look pretty but it sure did help us be more productive because we could observe the screen for the long hours required to keep production on schedule.
but lso thought alot about the border around the screen aswell...
That's the artist in you wanting to look as cool and trendy as possible, however there is a practical side of things, your computer is a tool first and a fashion statement second.
People who hire you are not going to judge you too much what tools you use, but by the quality of your results in a price and time frame they can accept.
Now if your really serious about changing the silver bezel for black, you can contact TechRestore here who specializes in turning glossy screens to anti-glare, which include a black bezel.

White Border Around Template Images

I recently created a "page layout" document from a template. This is my first attempt to use a template and it was all going well. Until I hit "print." When I print the document, the images that were already part of the template are printing with a white border around them. It looks fine in Pages and when I go to Print Preview, but it comes off the printer looking funny. What's the deal?

Thanks for the clarification. I had a hard time selecting that white border around the photos. I couldn't even figure out what it was for awhile. I think the printing problem is related to that white border which is an image, photoBG_triple.png, that is behind the photos & their masks & on top of the lined paper image, notepaper.png. I think all that layering looks nice on screen or PDF, but could be a printing nightmare. How does it look funny? And what kind of printer are you using?

Dynamic Border around image

hi there,
i have a main flash movie (main.fla) which has images placed
on the screen.
Each image has an invisible button placed on it.. (ie: the
button has only
the hitarea defined and no rollover, down etc.)
NOTE: that the images are different in sizes. hence they have
different
width and height.
I tried making a movieclip of 200 x 200 in size with a 1px
border around it
and dynamically making it adjust to the width and height of
the images. BUT
i seem to be hacing the following problem-
1) for images that are larger in size than the border
movieclip.. the border
tends to thicken.
2) for images that are smaller than the border movieclip..
the border tends
to get more thinner
Required-
OnRollover of an image.. it should have a border around it,
inorder to
highlite the selected image. Lets say, a 1px border and red
in color. How do
i achieve this?
Would really appreciate if someone would provide a simple
code to achieve
this as i am not used to programming.
Please help..
thanx

yep, thats cause when you stretch your mc the lines will
stretch with it.
if you are using flash 8, use the 9slice guides.
for the mc that contains your border go into the preferances,
and you will find a check box for the 9slice thingy (technical
term)
check that, then double click on the library symbel to edit
it.
you will find flash has drawn four dashed lines.
move these so that they mark the inward edge of your borders.
basically the area inside these guides stretches normally
the corners don't stretch
and the edges stretch either horizonally or vertically
for more info look in the help.
oh, and don't transform (rotate skew etc) your mc once on the
stage or you'll loose your slices...
best
