Display Problem - Light Coming From Top

Hello,
So I recently purchased a 27" iMac, and have noticed a display problem when viewing in full screen mode. Its only an issue if there is black along the top of the screen (such as the black bars when watching a movie or trailer). When there is black along the top, you can see some white light kind of bleeding in from the top edge - kind of all the way along (very narrow), but more pronounced at certain spots. I browsed the forums, but couldn't find anything that seemed real similar (though there are a number of reports of a yellow tinge on the bottom).
I guess I"m just wondering if this is a common LED problem - or if my display may be defective, and I should take it back.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Pullo
There has been a few reports, but nothing wide spread.

If it's noticeable, then most definitely take it back.

    It would be helpful if you were to identify the model of MBP you have. 
    The noise makers on a MBP are the fan(s), the HDD and the optical drive.  Can you locate the exact position where the noise is coming from?

  • Red light coming from my audio output, speakers not working

    I read somewhere about wiggling a toothpick around in there, but that didn't work, any other ideas.
    This happened after I had a 1/4 to 1/8 converter plugged in there to use a little mini amp.
    I've lost the use of speakers.
    headphones work fine
    I think the optical input is still reading as if something is plugged in. Not sure if there's something in my system I need to switch, or if I need to take it in, have the jack opened up and replaced

    Just to rule out the obvious make sure your mute switch (F3) is not on. If your 'switch is stuck' you would see a red light coming from the headphone port.
    Double check your Sys Prefs - Sound settings ...if things still are not working you might try a SMC reset followed by a Pram reset that would restore your orig. settings.

  • HT2494 the sound won't work on my Macbook pro  the headphone port actually has a red light coming from it

    Can not get sound on my Computer.  The headphone port actually has a red light coming from it.  Help

    Insert a headphone jack and remove it and see if the light goes out. The red light indicates the switch didn't switch from head phone to your Mac's speakers. Some folks have actually used a match stick to undo the switch.

  • Red light coming from the headphone port

    does anybody know why there is a red light coming from the headphone port.
    This is after i reformatted 
    Thanks
    Moderator note; subject edited for relevancy

    This is perfectly normal. You can run an optical digital out this way. You need a mini-toslink adapter like this:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-TOSLINK
    Then you can set the digital out as default (instead of Speakers) to run audio to a surround sound reciever via optical fiber.

  • Buzzing/whining sound coming from top left keyboard area...?

    For a couple of months now (I think, I can't pinpoint when exactly this started), there has been an annoying buzzing/whining sound coming from the very top left part of my keyboard (I think). It happens when the computer is on and dies down once I turn it off but kind of does a very quiet "tick-tick" thing for a few minutes after shutdown. At first I thought it was the screen because it sounds like it's coming from the very bottom left corner of the screen (or the very top left corner of the keyboard, I can't tell)... but adjusting the brightness doesn't seem to affect it. It increases when I'm typing or moving the cursor and decreases when I'm not doing anything, but it's always present. I have checked my hard drive and everything's okay, so I'm not sure what it could be. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Performance hasn't been affected (as of yet), so it's just more of an annoyance.
    Another thing - for a while now (probably over a year), the screen has been flickering intermittently. It will go darker to lighter to darker to lighter quickly whether the screen has been on only a few minutes or several hours. This seems to have decreased lately, but maybe the two issues are related...?
    I got my MacBook soon after they came out with the first black one, whenever that was.
    Thanks for your help!

    Why not answer my question if you want help? Does your "ordinary keyboard that has midi capabilities" have a transpose function or a split keyboard mode that you may have accidentally activated? Did you try the solution I offered you?

    Hi,
    Let me add some more comments in your code.
    LOOP AT IT_BKPF INTO WA_BKPF.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.    - do not use this statement. instead of this u can use a condition for a particular record. ( Eg: if wa_bkpf-belnr is not initial.)
    MOVE-CORRESPONDING WA_BKPF TO WA_FINAL.
    ENDIF.
    READ TABLE IT_BSEG INTO WA_BSEG WITH KEY BELNR = WA_BKPF-BELNR
    BUKRS = WA_BKPF-BUKRS
    GJAHR = WA_BKPF-GJAHR.
    IF WA_BSEG-SHKZG = 'H'.
    WA_BSEG-PSWBT = WA_BSEG-PSWBT * -1.
    ENDIF.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    MOVE-CORRESPONDING WA_BSEG TO WA_FINAL.
    ENDIF.
    APPEND WA_FINAL TO IT_FINAL.
    ENDLOOP.
    I think the above loop-endloop will get all the belnrs, and their related info to the final internal table.
    SORT IT_FINAL BY SAKNR BLART.
    LOOP AT IT_FINAL.
    IF WA_FINAL-BLART = 'AB'
    MOVE WA_FINAL-PSWBT TO WA_FINAL-PSWBT1.
    ENDIF.
    AND SAME FOR ALL DOC TYPES.
    ENDLOOP.
    SORT IT_FINAL BY HKONT .
    What is the structure of the internal table.
    If my understanding is correct, you want to populate a table as below.
    For every HKONT, populate the Document types (BLART) and their corresponding amounts like below.
    HKONT1 - AB - 1000
    HKONT1 - BC - 2000
    HKONT3 - CD - 2000
    Please correct it if your problem is something different.

  • Display has become unglued from top cover!

    About a month ago I noticed a slight misalignment with my cover when I closed it, and upon further inspection I discovered that the black plastic covering of the hinge was popping out slightly. After researching the problem via internet and discovering that many people had similar hinge problems, I (wrongfully) decided that I could wait for servicing until after university was over.
    Well, only about a week ago, after casual dorm usage (not using it while traveling) I closed my computer lid only to discover that there was literally no resistance in the hinge as it closed, and that the problem stemmed from the hinge area of my display literally becoming unglued from the cover. I now cannot close my computer for fear of breaking the screen any further, and I was just wondering about the serviceability of this problem and what I can do to resolve this issue as soon as possible.
    Thanks!

    Take it to an Apple store or AASP.

  • 2 Thunderbolt displays   MBP = sound coming from both displays?

    Hello everyone,
    So my question is: "Is it possible to make my both thunderbolt displays to produce sound to? Currently I can choose either one of them or my macbook pro, but maybe somehow it's possible to make it go thru both of the displays?"
    They are connected to macbook pro via thunderbolt.

    Success!!!
    Okay this got a bit complicated, but I found the right mix of software to make this work.  So here's again the hardware and software setup:
    TD = Thunderbolt Display
    CH = Channel
    MBP = MacBookPro
    L = Left Speaker
    R = Right Speaker
    TD1 (L/R)    |    TD2 (L/R)    |    MBP (L/R)
    iTunes => SoundFlower => Jack => Aggregate Device => 6 speakers!
    Stereo audio only has 2 channels (left and right).  So the trick is to get 2 system channels to map to the 6 speaker channels I have. 
    Step 1: Setup an Aggregate device to merge the 3 sets of speakers into one aggregate. 
    1-1: In Lion, go to Apps > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    1-2: Click the + in the bottom left and select Create aggregate device.
    1-3: Select the 3 devices: Built-in Output, Display Audio, Display Audio (there are 2)
    1-4: Click Configure Speakers
    1-5: Select all 3 streams at the top
    1-6: Click Multichannel and then select Hexagonal (this gives you 6 virtual speakers in the graphic)
    1-7: I don't think this step is required, but map the channels to the right locations.  For me this was a little confusing because TD1 was channels 3 & 4, TD2 was 5 & 6 and, and MBP is 1 & 2.  From top left going clockwise, I selected 4, 5, 1, 2, 6, 3. 
    1-8: You can click the speaker for each one to hear a test tone to make sure you have them right.  It's right if the 2 left ones come out of the left screen, the 2 center ones from the center screen, and the 2 right ones from the macbook.
    1-9: Right down the numbers so that you know which ones you want for left and which ones you want for right.
    Okay, now this is enough to get audio from 2 devices, but stopping here you'd lose your volume control and 4 of your 6 speakers.
    Step 2: Install 3 apps (all free):
    2-1: Download SoundFlower from http://cycling74.com/soundflower-landing-page/
    2-2: Download JackOSX from http://www.jackosx.com/
    2-3: Download JackOsX Autostart from http://www.jackosx.com/
    Step 3: Setup Jack
    3-1: Install Jack
    3-2: Start JackPilot and go to Preferences
    3-3: Setup input-output device as Aggregate Device that you setup in step 1
    3-4: Interface Output Channels should show 6 (6 speakers!).  Set Virtual Output channels to 2 (stereo)
    3-5: Uncheck auto-connect with physical ports
    3-6: Save changes and start the Jack server if it's not running.
    Step 4: Setup Soundflower
    4-1: Install Soundflower
    4-2: Click the flower in the task bar and then choose JackRouter under the 2-channel at the top
    4-3: In Lion, go to Apps > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    4-4: Find Soundflower (2 ch) and click it, then on the right select Output and then configure speakers
    4-5: Select Stero and then set the left speaker as 1 and the right as 2.  Testing the speakers here will likely do nothing.  That's okay.
    Step 5: Finish Jack
    5-1: Go to Connection Manager
    5-2: Note: this part was a pain -- the UI is funky, so be patient.  Click only how described.
    5-3: Open the various sub-sections until you can see Soundflowerbed under the Send Ports and see out1 and out2 (the stereo ports) and the System under Receive Ports and you should see playback_1 thru playback_6
    5-4: Carefully single-click out1 then double-click the first left speaker channel.  Single-click out1 again and then double-click 2nd left speaker channel.  Single-click out1 again and then double-click 3rd left speaker channel.
    5-5: Carefully single-click out2 then double-click the first right speaker channel.  Single-click out2 again and then double-click 2nd right speaker channel.  Single-click out2 again and then double-click 3rd right speaker channel.
    5-6: Close the connections manager
    Load up iTunes or something else and play music.  If everything is setup correctly, all 6 speakers should be going with 3 left playing the left channel and the 3 right playing the right channel!
    And since you're using Soundflower, your volume controls on your keyboard, etc, should work just fine.  Note: you can tweak your individual volume controls back in the aggregate device setup if you need to fine-tune something.
    Hopefully that all worked for you!  Let me know how you made out!

  • Light coming from screen under lock button (iPhone 5)

    I can see a sliver of light coming thru in a crevice between the screen and the metal band, right below the sleep/wake button. Anyone else see that?

    Keep me posted on the issue as it progresses compurhythm78. I've read on other websites I've found via Google search that people with this problem have taken it to the Genius Bar at the Apple store and they have replaced their phone with a new one as this is a common hardware problem with the iPhone 5. I wanted to make this post on here as this is more of a credible site to see if this problem would be covered under the warranty or if anyone knew how to fix it (if that's even possible). It's not like it's a huge problem with the phone, but I use the lock button quite often and it's just really annoying having to hit the button multiple times to get it function.

  • Is the red light coming from the top on my iphone normal ?

    Red light on top of iphone !

    That would be the proximity or brightness sensor and is normal to see in extremely dark environments.

  • No light coming from the LED panel

    Hi,
    I had to remove the LED panel on my X220 and when I put it back, the light of the LED is no longer working. The panel remain dark but when I put a flashlight behind I can see the displayed image.
    I tried the to put a new flat cable, but this didn't solve the problem.
    My question:
    Is there any fuse that can be changed?
    Is there a way to bring power to LED panel?
    Regards.

    Hi
    Welcome to community
    I am suspecting the  LCD cable causing the issue . You can try by swapping the parts
    Hope This Helps
    Cheers!!!

  • MacBook Buzzing/Whine coming from top left

    I have a C2D, 2.2GHz, late 2007 model 13" white MacBook (not pro). I am experiencing a whine/buzz from the top left of my keyboard that starts as soon as the grey screen appears during boot. I have tried everything related to the CPU whine people talk about (just google Macbook or macbook pro and whine or buz) but to no avail (except using CHUD to disable one of the cores, so by everything I mean SMC and PRAM reset, QuietMBP and ShhMBP) none of which has helped in the slightest. The buzz is quite prominent, I can hear it currently as it sits on my desk next to me and I type on my desktop (even though I can hear the desktop fans going too, so the room is not utterly quiet). I don't know what else to do, I'm considering re-formating and re-installing the OS to see if some update/software caused the issue (I doubt it, but am at a loss of what else to try). Anybody have any other suggestions?
    The reason I have not disabled the 2nd core using CHUD is I don't really want to reduce performance by limiting myself to one core (also, if it matters, I had apple install 2GB of ram rather than the normal 1GB when I ordered).
    Any help at all would be nice, the noise is literally starting to drive me bananas!
    Also, I checked for run-away processes in Activity Monitor, and even thought it might be fan related rather than processor at one point, and installed and tried fan control software, which made zero difference. The noise does seem worse when the computer is running a more CPU intensive task.

    You're right, I doubt that it's a speaker issue but I just wanted to check anyway.
    What you are describing sounds just like the problem I have, except that my noise goes away when I use quietMBP. I usually have to use a setting of 90 or so in quietMBP. In fact I can change the pitch of the noise by changing the quietMBP settings.
    When power is connected,I believe the power brick works in harmony with the macbook to produce the lovely sound you're hearing. I had Apple replace my power brick, but that didn't solve anything. Once the brick is disconnected from the macbook, the power brick will stop making the noise, but the CPU whine will continue. I heard that logic board replacement sometimes fixes the problem, but I didn't want Apple to rip my computer apart, so I just decided to live with the noise. After a while (~3 months) you get used to it.
    So the only solution, as far as I know, is to replace the logic board. Keep replacing it until it stops. It's not present in 100% of macbooks, so if you keep replacing that board, you'll finally end up with a good one.
    I trust you read this already:
    http://www.red-sweater.com/blog/159/the-quiet-mac
    By the way, if the buzzing is louder when you increase CPU usage, more than likely you have a busted resister or capacitor on your board. The solution to that, of course, would be to replace the logic board--since the power transformer assembly sits on the logic board.
