Display got discolored 2" bar on right side

Hi,
A strange thing has happened. My iMacG5 20" suddenly and without apparent reason displays a discoloration of 2" wide, from top to bottom, on the right side. Inside that 2" wide bar white becomes greyish and my folders seem to be polarised. Have tried to make new account, but problem remains. This problem started lets say two weeks ago, but went away until now. Now the problem seems to persist. Is this the video problem as meant in the repair extension program? Or could it be something I can fix myself? Please advise!
Thanks in advance and greetings from Amsterdam.

to Steve: This is exactly the same problem as with my iMac. How old is yours? By the way I now know a lot more about this issue. The 20 inch LCD screen is devided into 12 segments. It appears that our iMacs suffer from a defective segment. Any of these segments can become defective or even break down completely. If that happens the broken down segment gives no image whatsoever. If you bring your iMac to Apple, like I did, they will say the screen is dead and needs to be replaced. If your machine is outside their 1 year warranty and has no extra AppleCare, they will charge you appr. 700USD for a new LCD panel (Apple part nr.661-3609) or even more for the panel in the bezel (part nr. 661-3318). The thing is that the panel used in this iMac, the LG.Philips LM201W01(A5)(K1), has a standard 3 year's limited warranty. So I am now trying to find out if a longer warranty period is applicable if the panel is not mounted in the Apple iMac. I sure hope so! Secondly, Apple could be forced by European law to extend their warranty to 2 years, that is in certain cases. But this only applies in Europe, of course.

  • Display resolution is different left and right sides

    Hi, my HP G42 laptop now has a different display resolution on the left and right sides. The left half seems to have less resolution than the right side, the right side looks like it's in HD, the left side looks washed out. I'm not sure if it is a hardware issue or a setting/software issue. The first time it appeared was after a windows 7 update was completed and installed, I'm not sure if that was just a coincidence. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It works but is very annoying to look at.
    Thank you,
    Ray

    Hi Ray_M,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you are having a problem with two different resolutions on each half of your screen. The easiest way to determine where the problem lies is to connect it to an external monitor. If the image is normal then we know it is an issue with the display screen but if the issue occurs on the external monitor then we know it is a problem with the drivers or the video card itself.
    What is the product number for your g42? There are a number of different models in that series.

  • HT1338 How can I display the bookmark list on the right side, not the left, of the monitor screen?

    The display bookmark icon is on the far side of the navigation bar. When activated the list of bookmarks come up on the far left which is not convenient since I am right handed and would like to move the cursor straight down not across the screen.

    I imagine the OP means this:
    It's not movable. However command-option-B will open it if that's any help, though once opened there's no way of altering the layout of the page, except for moving the divider.

  • How can I display the bookmark list on the right side, not the left, of the monitor screen?

    The display bookmark icon is on the far side of the navigation bar. When activated the list of bookmarks come up on the far left which is not convenient since I am right handed and would like to move the cursor straight down not across the screen.

    There are two bookmarks icons. One displays a drop-down menu and the other opens the browser sidebar. Which one are you using?
    For the drop-down menu, it should open on the side where you have the icon. (Note: this icon generally appears at the right end of the Bookmarks toolbar and in past threads some people have had difficulty moving it to other toolbars.)
    For the sidebar, there might be a trick to switch it from left to right, but this also will affect others sidebars that share the same box, such as history.

  • Why is their a black bar on right side of last frame?

    Since the most recent update I have black verticl bar on the right side of the last frame in Premiere Pro CC. I have tried cutting, reducting expanding, everything I can think of, but to no avail. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, do you know the remedy? This is causing me to have 3 projects falling behind.

    Feel free to tell the team how you feel.
    How about letting us have "the teams" "social media" addresses and we can really have a discussion about this.
    Isnt that the way it works these days? 
    Feature Request is just a "hurdle of convenience" and this site should be serving the purpose in its own right.
    ie. Users providing (valuable) free opinions from experience ... directly to Adobe. (and the NSA)
    I hate the pointless "end of sequence" indicator if my many posts on the matter happened to have slipped by anyone who cares.
    To date...still no one defends its inclusion in Premiere Pro.  Not even "the team" !

  • Picture corruption - color bar on right side.

    My basic setup is as follows.
    Running XP Pro and Photoshop CS3 (including Camera Raw plugin 4.4.1)
    Run above software with color management profiles for 2 monitors, LG L1710B (1280 x 1024 resolution) and Eizo CE210W (widescreen display) (1680 x 1050 resolution).
    Display adapter is Radeon X1600, with Catalyst Control Centre and driver (maintained up-to-date with latest release).
    The observed problem exists ONLY when running Photoshop CS3 (although RAW files are accessed also by other software).
    Under Photoshop, RAW files may be opened in one of 2 ways.
    A) Opened in Camera Raw through Bridge CS3:
    B) Opened in Camera Raw through Photoshop CS3:
    All RAW images opened under Bridge CS3 display perfectly on both monitors.
    Images opened under Photoshop CS3 and displayed on the L1710B monitor are satisfactory.
    All RAW images opened under Photoshop CS3 and displayed on the Eizo C210W monitor show the fault. Please note this relates ONLY to RAW images - no problem with tif or jpg. Also, when the picture is later saved (as tif or jpg),it does not contain the erroneous color band - the problem appears to be one of diplay only!
    To explain the fault: the defect appears as a vertical stripe positioned on the right side of the PICTURE area, of slightly different brightness/color shade to the main part of the displayed picture.
    I have referred the problem as fault report to:
    1. AMD re Radeon adapter/driver and Catalyst: they have investigated over a 4 week period, and reply that the problem is elsewhere.
    2. EIZO re Monitor (no separate driver outside of Windows), who say the problem is not monitor related.
    3. Adobe re Photoshop, who relate the matter to AMD as supporters of the display driver.
    4. AMD have (in the past) suggested that it is not a problem for referral to Microsoft!
    Therefore STALEMATE! How do I get this resolved?
    After long and careful tests I have undertaken, I have a theory on the cause of the problem which goes so:-
    I believe the image on the Eizo is properly being color corrected with the color profile applicable for that monitor. However, I believe the size of the color correction mask being applied is being taken from the screen parameters of the L1710B display. This results in a color correction "overlay" area of 1280 x 1024 being imposed on the Eizo screen of 1680 x 1050 - justified from the left edge. This causes a strip on the right edge of (1680-1280) 400 to appear non-color corrected! In actual practice, the position of the left edge of the color stripe does appear 3/4 way across the screen, which supports this postulation! Also, if I vary the color profile, the screen effect (tone wise) does slightly change, causing the stripe to either more or less prominent.
    I would personally conclude the matter to be within Photshop CS3. The fact that the RAW module running under Bridge produces NO PROBLEM, while the (same) RAW module running under Photoshop produces the fault suggests to me that the RAW module is being preconditioned in a different way by the respective softwares.
    I will be pleased to benefit from thoughts of others - and also to receive ideas as to where I should next direct my fault reports.
    While I am at lease able to view/process RAW files through the Bridge route, in an ideal world I should be able to do the same though Photoshop!
    Thanks - Eric

  • The left side of my display/screen is darker than the right side.

    Running a 27 inch, Mid 2011 iMac.   Left side of screen is obviously darker than the right side.  Any one else have this happen?  Any solutions?

    Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service. Either the display is bad, the GPU has failed, or the display backlighting has failed.

  • Strange vertical bar at right side of screen.

    Booted up in the afternoon after everything being normal in the morning. The logo and loading wheel were slightly to the left on start up and when I went to enter my password, there was a faint line down the right hand side of the screen (about 1.5" in) and the image seems to blur horizontally from there. When I got into my desktop, the toolbar had also been pushed off the bottom of the screen. The touchscreen of the blurry section still works. 
    No idea how it happened (as I said, it was fine when I left) and hoping it can be fixed!
    Thanks!

    Hi there
    If you like you can do a System restore to a previously known good state.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=in&lc=en&docname=c03327545
    Alternatively try uninstalling current graphic driver from Display adapters section in Device Manager & reinstalling the latest Graphic driver from your HP support page.
    Then restart the system, check.

  • How display numeric datas in a JTable column on the right side?

    Hallo !
    I have a JTable using the AbstractTableModel.
    How can I display the numeric values on the right side of the column?
    Wolfgang

    It works, if I overwrite the TabModel-method "getColumnClass". But I cannot use this, because in german I have a "," in a double an not a "." as comma. So I get an Exception if the table tries to format 123,34 as a double.
    But I think there must be a possibility to format strings in a column. On the left side, in the center, on the right side. Do you know something to position Strings in a JTableColumn ?

    Hi,
    Based on your description, my understanding is that in your production environment, it doesn't search the contents of Content Editor webparts.
    It is by default in SharePoint that Contents in a content editor web part aren't searchable .
    You can create a content source that crawls web pages it will pick up the contents of a content editor web part.

  • Lenovo G480 lcd darker on right side.

    Dear All, 
    Greetings
    Some days ago my laptop's screen got a bit darker on right side.
    Now its more dark & it looks like different. Its pixels also show different colour. On an external monitor gives a perfect picture. But LCD has problem.
    Please help..!!
    Lenovo G480 and graphic adapter is of Nvidia.
    Regards  

    hi hm_khawaja,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    If you boot into the BIOS (F2) and you still see that one side of the LCD is darker than usual then your conclusion about the LCD being the problem is correct as the backlight on that corner is most likely malfunctioning.
    If the unit's still under warranty, I recommend that you contact lenovo and report the issue. Otherwise, you may need to replace the entire LED screen.

  • When I press the down arrow on the right side of my location bar and history is displayed, how can I get it to display history from most recently accessed site on down?

    When I click the down arrow on the right side of the location bar (without having typed a full or partial URL in, I am just clicking the down arrow) a history dropdown is displayed which shows 12 website URLs that I have visited, but there does not appear to be any rhyme or reason as to what is being displayed. How can I cause this dropdown to display sites visited from the most recently accessed on down? And how can I cause more than 12 URLs to be listed in this dropdown? Why I can't I scroll down through my entire history in chronological order from most recently accessed site?
