Dim display when starting

I still wait for an answer regarding this issue. My MBA's display always starts in low brightness (only a bar). What should I do???

Hi,
Since Ambient light sensing is one of the SMCs, resetting SMC may help.

  • Error on Display when Starting Up After Ejecting a Cable in Thunderbolt Port

    Hi there, there's been a problem in my macbook since its been ejected from a thunderbolt cable. It was using this port for connecting the macbook with a TV. The first time i used it, it was fine. After the third or fourth time i've used it, when i start up my macbook, the display was still the same display as when it was connected with the tv, then a cracked display came for a split second and changed to the usual display with the sign in screen. I thought when i restart it, it would go back to normal, however it keeps happening every time i tried to start it up. Help please.

  • I have a MacBook Pro with Retina display, when starting up, I see the Apple logo, the bar underneath fills about 1/4 of the way, and then the screen goes black, the mouse cursor is still visible.

    Boots to black in OS X mode (I believe 10.10.2? tough to check right now).  I can boot into Windows 8 using Boot Camp without incident.  I have booted to Disk Utility and run Disk and Permissions Repair.  I have booted into Diagnostics, and no issues were found (ADP000 was the Reference Code given).  I reset the PRAM, which gave a louder chime than I had been getting when failing to start up OS X, but otherwise no change.  Feeling that my options were exhausted, I attempted to restore from Time Capsule, and it won't connect to Time Capsule, despite Time Capsule being the active router whose network I am connected to.  Please advise. 
    (This is my girlfriend's computer, she tells me that she selected an option to perform an automatic update later, that night.)

    Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
          the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
               because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should install the version of OS X that you had installed.
    Be sure you only work on the OS X volume, not your Windows volume. I cannot tell you if you will still be able to boot the Windows volume after the above. You will need to find a fix for that.

  • DIM Error when starting Informatica - Failed to load DLL: HASClient.dll

    Hi all,
    I have Informatica 8.1.1 SP3 installed and I have installed Hyperion DIM adapter for Essbase 11.1.1.
    I have followed all the steps given in the installation guide to install the adapters.
    But when I open Informatica I am getting the error - Failed to load DLL: HASClient.dll for plug in HASCONNECTOR.
    Beacuse of that I am not getting the option to 'Import from Essbase' in Informatica.
    Can anyone give any idea what I may have done wrong and how can I make it working.
    Thanks..

    You need to run through the instructions again. This sounds like an issue with the environment variables not being set correctly.
    Look in the [DIM Install PDF|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/dim_11111_install.pdf]

  • Strange Coding Display when starting up!!

    Hi, is there anyone who has an idea about this display? The situation is that every time i start my laptop or turn it off, this coding display would show up. The pic is just a part of it. It seems to be the laptop is scaning the disc or something. It is really annoying and I am worried about whether there is something wrong with the logic board or something. Rolling on the floor to beg for help~~~~

    and photo of thing for us to see?
    aha, I see it
    it is -v option in boot parameters. Used some twikery application like Onyx or other? For cleaning caches etc?
    If so - run it again and search for "verbose boot" option and disable it.
    If not used such things - somebody did a joke on you.
    Tell if so and I'll post instruction how to disable it

  • Dim display AFTER start or restart

    Not always, but most times, after a startup or a restart I find my display brightness setting has changed. In the Preferences> Display window the slider has moved completely to the left. Moving it back toward the right makes the display bright again, at least until the next startup. Having to reset the slider each time doesn't make sense. Any ideas on how the "save" my brightness preference. This was happening prior to Tiger upgrade as well.

    Kaan: That option isn't available to TiBook users. Unlike your Albook, a Tibook has no ambient light sensor and no functions that depend on one.

  • Exception when starting WebToGo-Application

    Hi Santharam,
    I believe this is a side effect of two cluster members having different versions of the same class due concurrent development and testing. The best way to separate the clusters is to set each to use a different multicast address for the cluster communication. this can be done easily by using the following command line argument:
    <tt>-Dtangosol.coherence.clusteraddress=224.1.1.x</tt>
    Where 'x' is a value between 1 and 254.
    I would also suggest setting the time-to-live of the multicast messages to zero so that the communication does not go beyond the development machine. This can be done with a similar command line argument:
    <tt>-Dtangosol.coherence.ttl=0</tt>
    Hope this helps.
    Later,

  • X230T display dims after BIOS start

    MY X230T was originally supplied with Windows 7 Pro. Apparently as a result of twiddling with the power management options on that platform, the display dims significantly between starting the BIOS and logging in to Windows. Specifically: 1. The BIOS screens are displayed at normal brightness 2. The screen then dims to a very low level while Windows loads. The hotkeys are not active at this time. 3. Under Windows 7, the login screen would remain dim until I pressed a key, or clicked on the screen with the mouse. Under Windows 8, the "lock screen" is already displayed at full brightness. This would not be a big deal, except that when booting another OS from a CD (e.g. Clonezilla Live), the display can remain dim, which makes the SW very difficult to use. Needless to say, the hotkeys also do not work under such foreign OSs. I have moved on to Windows 8 as a result of problems with VSS and can no longer find any such power options, either in the BIOS settings, the Windows Power Options or the Power Management settings in the Lenovo Settings metro app. How can I get the display brightness to remain constant during startup?

    Hey, I have same or similar problems with graphic card on same notebook (P200D 12O PSPBQE):
    Some times, hard to define, probably when computer is connected to the electricity and used for some hours, a strange effect occurs: the background, strangely without the active window looks like it has reduced number of colors to like 16. Maybe 'without active window' means that only certain ranges of colors are affected and mainly white active window is not because of it's white color, just a theory for now.
    The problem is solved either by restarting or by unplugging the power cable. Unplugging the power cable from the computer causes serious not-very-healthy-looking flickering of the screen which after few seconds becomes black and then recovers back to normal. After such recovery, the Vista says something like: the dispaly driver or hardware recovered from serious error. And then the colors are ok again.
    I suspect that in my case the problem is caused by electricity disturbance, probably caused by the older refrigerator, because every time I notice this problem, the refrigerator is on. Or precisely true: I have never seen the problem when refrigerator was not working, at least ofr now. I plugged the computer on other end of appartment, electricaly farther away from refrigerator and on another fuse, but the problem still occurs, but less frequently, I think. I will try to take picture of the problem.
    Quite strange problem, probably hard to present to the people who sold me the computer. Maybe the pictures of the problem will help.

  • CG02 Report from Template error when starting the display application

    System info: SAP GUI 720 (patch 10007878), ECC 6.0, SAP_APPL/EA-APPL 605, WWI 2.7 (patch 20000084)
    Hi, folks.
    I was able to execute CG02 'Report from Template' function. My local MS Word 2003 would open successfully to display the report as expected. Suddenly, I couldn't do that anymore. I'm now getting msg "An error occurred when starting the display application" (C$772). And I didn't change anything.
    Any clue to what has happened or why it is happening? In my Word, I have 'C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\wwi' set as the file location for User templates. What else should I check?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, Caroline.
    Thanks for pointing me (back) to it! (I've encountered a similar issue with the same param back in 2010...)
    I'm positive that the problem started after I tried to run the transaction code (of my custom report program that does the CG02 'Report from Template' function) from the web gui ('You Can Also' menu function). Somehow, the standard SAP fms within It changed the param ESWWI_INST value from 'EXISTFRONT' to 'WWISERVER'. So when I ran CG02 and the WWI server is not available yet, I received the error msg.

  • CG54--Report from Template error when starting the display application

    Hi,
              Currently I have MS 2013 installed on my workstatsion. But now whenever I try to open a template for any specification I get error "
    An error occurred when starting the display application--Message no. C$772"
    I have SAP Logon 730 Patch 11. Also in User profile I maintain EXISTFRONT for ESWWI_INST. But for some reason it keeps on getting reset as WWISERVER.
    Need help on the same.

    Dear Rohan
    your local WWI installation seems to be dusrupted. Check e.g.  EHS- Inconsistent WWI Report behaviour for different users
    and many similar threads. Check OSS Marketplace for Release of WWI in regards of WinWord 2013
    Dear Camila
    according to my knowlede: the local WWI insztallaiton is not a "generation server" one. The parameter symbol you have mentioned is dedicated for WWI server set upin GLM area only. Therefore your hint will not work (according to my knowledge). But there is some "but"...
    With SAP ERP EnhPack 3 you need not to install any more a local WWi but could use a WWI gen server farm. If you can use this option the WWI set up is very different. In this case may be your hint is correct.

  • T61 dim display

    Dim display, external video ok, lcd comes on when lid is shut & opened then goes dim. I have seen this problem on older laptops with a stuck lid closure switch ... can't  find one on this laptop though ... HELP!??

    I recently started having the same problem on my three-year old T61. The screen is legible, but definitely dimmer than it used to be. I'm happy to replace something, if I know what the problem is. Sounds like you have already done all the things I would have done. Did you also replace the backlight?

    Hey @teddyredhead ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand the display on your Chromebook is dim but works fine via HDMI.
    Try performing a hard reset on your Chromebook by pressing Refresh+Power.
    If that doesnt help try Performing a System Recovery on Your HP Chromebook (Chrome OS).
    If neither of those help I would suggest contacting HP Phone Support for service options as the inverter or motherboard may be having an issue. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the following link to get the support number for your region: Phone Assist Worldwide.
