Dropped imac now the screen is jerky

Somehow my iMac fell over face first onto my desk and cracked the display. It seemed to be working fine, I ordered a new screen and replaced it very easily. But now, a few weeks later, the display is starting to get jerky and will go black. I do not know anything about hardware etc... but does this sound like a video card issue? And if so, can that be replaced by me? It's a 2011. I'd like to try to fix it myself because changing the display was so easy and only cost me 70 bucks vs the 400 or so that Apple would have charged.

You may be lucky and it is just a cable or a socketed item that is loose, you will need to take it to pieces again and check all internal connections.
Hope you get it sorted out.

Baby dropped ipad n now the screen is green? what does tht mean??

my kid dropped ipad and now the screen is green, like the home screen...i tried to turn it off then on, and the green came on, so now i can see the apps but the green hues are still there?

Try resetting the device ( hold the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears). If that does not help, it is damaged. Take it in for diagnosis.

If you have an Apple Store near you, take it there and have them check it. If you don't, I would send it in for service.

I dropped my phone and now the screen is going funny.

i dropped my iphone on the ground and now the screen is going funny. by that i mean it doesn't always click on the things i want and it doesn't let me unlock my phone, what should i do?

Get it fixed. Take it to an Apple Store for them to look at.
Dropping electronics on hard surfaces does have a habit of making them go "funny" - best to avoid doing that if you can.

I guess your definition of "solved" is different from most...
Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and get an out of warranty replacement.

I dropped something on my mac and now the screen is messed up. Can this be fixed?

I am a performer and I had a mic on a mic stand in my room while I was practicing. I accidentally moved the wrong way and knocked my mic off of my stand onto my macbook pro and now the screen is messed. I don't really know a lot about computers so I was wondering, if I take my macbook to the apple store will they be able to fix it? Also, If they can fix it, any idea how much it would cost. Thanks!

The repair will be a replacement. It is an expensive repair well into the hundreds of dollars.
Ciao.

Why is the ipad mini screen so delicate I just got my ipad mini yesterday and it fell of a stand I bought and now the screen is cracked

why is the ipad mini screen so delicate I just got my ipad mini yesterday and it fell of a stand I bought and now the screen is cracked

My Ipad 3 is the same, it must be a design fault cuz I dropped a pound coin on my ipad screen and it shattered and every other week there's a new dent or scratch, though I wouldn't say I'm overly rough with it. I use it a lot, like most do, so accidents will happen and Apple hav to allow for that. I deffently wouldn't say that they are worth the money for the amount of trouble they cause, they r great devices, just far too delicate and expensive!

You can call AppleCare and request a replacement set of the original DVD's that shipped with the computer for a nominal charge. You will need the serial number (look on the bottom of the stand) and a credit card. Click the AppleCare Contact Info link. Without knowing which iMac you have it's very difficult to say if a new SL disc would work or not.

`I had to do a force quit to get the spinning color wheel off the screen for itunes, system preferences and finder. `now the screen is lit but it cannot find finder and the itunes icon just bounces up and down whenI click on it-whay should do?

I think my card reader was just taken out of the back of my mack pro without proper ejection. I had to use force quit on everything open to get rid of the color wheel. `itunes, system preferences, finder were open and not responding. `now the screen is lit but if `i click on itunes the symbol just bounces and for finder it says finder cannot be found 10810. What should I do next? Thanks-

Hi Janice,
You are posting in an iMac forum, you may want to repost in the Mac Pro forum.

Hey mirs81,
From your description the BlackBerry smartphone was damaged when it was dropped, I would suggest contacting your point of sale for warranty and repair options.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks.
