Dust speck between LCD panel and backlight?

Hello fellas, I suddenly see an anomaly on my 1-week old MacBook Pro. I'm not an expert, but it doesn't look like a dead/stuck pixel:
- It doesn't look like a clean pixel; it looks like a pixel "out of focus".
- When I compare it to a real pixel, it looks like it's "behind" the active display - perhaps between the panel and the backlight?
Any insight?

Hi
I have the identical issue. It appears the LCD has a "backlight" and the backlight has stuck or off pixels. I too have MacBook Pro - mine is a dual 2.16 (duocore) with 2 GB ram. The backlight spots (they definately look like little areas of no light emitted) are not exactly regular like a pixel. The previous answer post is incorrect in that it states the LCD is a single layer - it is not - these spots are definately behind the image and are definately fuzzy spots of low or no emission different from teh image itself.
Any ideas? Any help? At least it is under warranty but I use it every day so I hate tosend it in for repair.

IBook has no backlight even after LCD Panel and Inverter Board Replacement,

I just got hold of an iBook G3 800mhz that works excellently aside from the fact that it has no backlight. Usually, I can figure this stuff out pretty well, and I had some parts around, so I replaced the inverter board and LCD panel. Still no backlight. I reset the PMU and NVRAM, and of course turned up the brightness in System Preferences. I can't figure this out. What else could it be?

Hi Guy,
As Rhonda suggests it's probably the inverter cable. I've repaired two recently both were broken at the hinge point where the cable is wrapped in this silver flex tape. One was the red wire, the other I forget. I diagnosed this by pushing the wires together at the hinge. Once I found the broken one and isolated the point that it was broken I soldered it together and used shrink tube to repair it.

Purchased a LG FHD LCD panel and broken.

Hello everyone, I am using T520 4242- RU2 model in Thailand. I tried to upgrade my LCD panel from 1366*768 to 1920*1080. I bought a panel in e-bay and I replaced by myself. After few months, it becomes yellowish color on white image. So I removed it and replace default one. Well, I would like to buy a new FHD panel again. Do you know which one is recommend? AUO or LG or Chimei or whatelse...?? if you have recommended P/N or FRU, could you let me know? thanks and best regards,

Color difference between LCD monitor and iMac monitor?

So I recently purchased a 27" iMac (purchased it last week) and have hooked up my previous monitor, a 24" Apple LCD cinema display (aluminum enclosure) to have a dual-monitor setup.
Both are using Apple's stock color profiles, but the LCD cinema display is much more yellow than the iMac's display.
I tried setting the LCD display to use the iMac's color profile without any luck (it didn't get rid of the yellow tint).
I assumed Apple would have them using the same color settings, but alas it seems that isn't the case.
So, what should I do to get them to have matching color profiles?

i have the same problem too...with the same imac 27" i7 like josh..hello josh?
the only different is my imac hooked up to 20" LCD cinema display (aluminum enclosure)
yap true josh, its more yellow in the secondary monitor..even with the same color profile.
i mainly use my imac for motion graphic n post production stuffs...its really annoy me for cannot find the match color for this two screens... ;(
hope somebody can show us the solution for this problem...

Lumia 930 cracked digitiser, lcd panel and glass s...

Hi, I've cracked the whole front panel of my phone a Lumia 930. The screen is broken to the point of being unuseable, the screen showed strange colours at first, and eventually it now shows nothing. I don't think the actual digitiser is working either.
I don't feel comfortable sending it off to MS mobile without getting some kind of a quote first, (frankly I'm quite disappointed there's no way of at least seeing an estimate) and I was wondering if anyone else who's had the whole front panel replaced could estimate how much that should cost?
If I do decide to get this thing repaired, I will definitely shell out for a case and a screen protector this time.
Thanks

Hi, crumbleshake. The Repair cost will depend on the technician's evaluation. We suggest visiting the nearest Care Point within your area and have our technicians evaluate your phone. You may check this link: http://www.microsoft.com/en/mobile/support/. Your files will be deleted if you did not turn on the phone's backup feature prior to this. Let us know how it will go.

Most Significant way of Passing a PMString between a panel and a Dialog

I am calling a dialog from a Panel when a certain button on the panel is clicked,
In the Dialog I have an Edit Box, User can write any Strig in that Edit box and when he clicks on OK button Dialog closes and I want that string once the control is back on the panel.
so i need to know which is the most significat way to acheive this, Should i use DataExchanger or something else to be used here in this case.
Thanks,
Rizwan

IDialog.h:
/* Place the dialog on the screen. You can pass in the owner panel (i.e. the panel who opens the dialog). This will make the panel available in the dialog controller. */
virtual void Open(IControlView* ownerPanel = nil) = 0;
IDialogController.h
/* Get the owner panel of this dialog. */
virtual IControlView* GetOwner() const = 0;
You could for example add any string data interface to your panel's boss for storage.

Formation of moisture between LCD and front panel in a iMac

Hi Guys
I am using a 21,5" iMac for the last 18 months or so. Every monsoon (which is pretty heavy in Bombay) I face a strange problem. A few minutes after starting the mac, moisture starts accumulating between the LCD panel and the front glass which covers it. I have complained to Apple several times but there is no satisfactory reply. In fact one of their service center girls sent me this email explaining the reasons behind this problem
Hi , Sir !
Greetings of the day ............
This is with regards of ongoing problem with your iMac display issue.
I have understand it from the technician who have visited your place regarding this issue.Pls correct me ,if your imac display issue is different than belows.
Problem Reported: u see Some fog/condensation forms in that middle or corner of the screen(behind the glass). computer, But after turning it ON a large spot is clearly visible. [Deepak J] Your understanding is Correct .After turning of the computer, The fog disappears in just about 20 or 30 minutes.[Deepak J] No its not correct that fog/condensation goes in 20 or 30 minutes rather it takes more than 8 to 10 hours to get disappear and nature of the problem is intermittent. This is an environmental issue that happens with most of the iMacs here in mumbai during monsoon.it is because of humidity/moisture in the air.mostly it happens if there is a open window right behind the iMac or imac is very close to the AC.[Deepak J] My early PC which I used for more than 5 Years was also kept in the same way / environment in which iMac is Kept & I bought iMac for 4 times more than the Cost I purchased my Old PC.
Since the iMac goes Glass > Space > LCD it wouldn't be totally surprising that condensation would show up there if there is a lot of humidity and the temp variations between the outside of the glass and the inside of the glass.
The space between the glass and lcd is not air tight. The glass is just a "cover" and not affixed to the actual LCD. It's held on by some magnets but there's still air going to and from between the lcd and the section that connects to the glass. It's like when you get condensation/ie., fogged windows in a car. The temp difference the air outside the glass and the air inside the glass as well as both surface sides it's a matter of physics that a fog will appear if the conditions are optimal.
So,only few below things can help u in this case.
1.Keep the iMac On,as much u can.we can keep the system in sleep all the time with energy saver settings.we will help u to do the same.[Deepak J] I use PC for Max to Max 2 to 4 hours in a Week so are you suggesting that I keep the PC on for rest of 160 Hours
2.use of de-humidifier will might help.[Deepak J] Can you please tell me what is de-humidifier ?
3.Removing the glass panel(But not advisable.)[Deepak J] I don’t want to do that
Trust me ,it happens only in rainy seasons where humidity level is very high in our city and there is no technical solution to fix this as imac is design that way.[Deepak J] This the First rainy season after I purchased iMac
Hope,the above information will help u.
Pls let me know ,if u need any more information from our side.--
Thanks & Regards,

Its pretty obvious from this email that they have no clue on how to solve this problem. Combined with the fact that Lion has a lot of bugs, my impression is "Apple is the new Microsoft".
whats your experience guys
best regards
Tejash

Hi Shilpa
Its not the lack of testing. I am sure moisture is a problem in many other parts of the world. More irritating are the 'suggestions' by so called apple experts.
One solution could be to seal it from all sides. Should be a pretty standard job.

Bugs between LCD and outside panel

Somehow two baby flies have become trapped between the LCD panel and the outside panel of the flat screen TV.
I know they are not just caked on the outside, as I have tried several times to clean them off with small amounts of solution.
Is there anything I can do?
I was considering the compressed air can, like for cleaning computer keyboards. But fear condensation would make things worse. I don't want to remove the outer case unless I have to and it is safe.
Anything else I can try besides bringing the TV in for cleaning by Geek Squad?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, you have a unique scenario.
You could try compressed air, but I doubt it will get anything done, but it is worth a shot. It sounds like the TV needs to be taken apart so the internal portion of the screen can be cleaned. The other option, depending on the cost of labor to take the TV apart, is look at a replacement. I know that is not an ideal solution, but cost wise it may be better.
Or you could live with the bugs

Dust under the LCD cover, sticky/non-responsive keyboard..

Hello,
I've been trying to find information on this.
I purchased this phone, outright, from Bell when they finally started selling it a couple of weeks ago. Since then, the phone has aquired a large amount of dust under the LCD cover (and continues to do so). The keys sometimes "stick" or feel like they cannot be pushed down (but are registering).
I contacted my carrier, Bell, over the phone and the CSR told me to go into a local Bell store to get it checked out.
I went to my local Bell store and a worker there told me that I can't get it exchanged and that I should just open the phone myself to clean out the dust and check the keyboard.
Is this right?
They're telling me to void the warranty on this brand new phone regarding problems I'm having with it. Does anyone have any tips on what I should do about this?
My previous phone (which was a Pearl 8130 that I had for 3 years) didn't collect any dust under the LCD screen and had no keyboard issues.

your warranty and support is through your carrier you need to be firm and explain it better to them your issue. You should not have dust on the LCD so soon with a new device (unless it is damaged) as for sticky keys, i never had a sticky key with the hundreds of devices we have unless some one spilled something on it. If it is a factory defect, again you have to get this taken care of with your carrier and they are the first line in warranty support.
Good Luck.

Can you take a photo of the damage? Once before I saw an LCD that arrived truly internally cracked. The ink was in a perfect circle, writing off any user fault.
In the worst case situation, it might be worthwhile to call Lenovo and purchase a new screen. If you purchase one through them, you can get warranty support for the new screen. I realize that is a terrible alternative, as you should not have to invest more money, but it is the cheapest route to get a functioning LCD.

X2-02 display brightness and backlight time

Hello, it may be a noob question, but I've searched everywhere.
Do you know where is setting LCD brightness and backlight time?
(v10.90)
Thank you

I don't know if I should start a new topic or splice my question on here.
My X7 seems to have an ambient sensor which is always flicking my display from dim to bright or vice versa almost ranndomly. When I first got my phone, my wife's first comment was "I hate the flickering display".
Can I set it to ignore the sensor somewhere? Under display there is nothing for brightness control.

Dust Between the Glass and LCD Surface.

I have a pocket of dust between the glass and LCD surface. I don't even notice that it is there until the screen behind the patch gets darker. Then my ADD kicks in and I focus on it intently.
Can it be cleaned by anyone and not cost me $$$$$ or void any warantees?

I recently had the same problem. I made an appointment with the Genius Bar at the Apple store. The Genius was able to replace my screen with a new one; It took about 10 minutes.

Dust between LCD and glass

Well, my 3rd ipod touch was a week 38. It was great until I noticed there were a few specks of dust underneath the glass, one of which seemed to create a bubble at certain angles. I went back to the 5th ave nyc store today and they were very cool about taking it back. The genius actually said "Yeah, there's no way you could've gotten dust in there".
I've been finding that the 5th Ave store is so much better in terms of customer service than the SoHo store, so I will be doing business with them from now on.
So just in case anyone has wondered about this, the Apple store should give your an easy exchange for dust lodged underneath the glass.
And for the record, the dust-lodged ipod was a week 38 with corinne bailey rae on the cover. My replacement is also a week 38 but with Macy Grey on the cover. I'll see how it works out when I get home. I hope the 4th time is a charm!

It's usually only visible from up close, or under very bright lighting conditions. My replacement had just one speck of dust under the glass, and I figure I'm done with constantly exchanging my ipods.
If you really want to ruin things for yourself, take a flashlight up to the screen and look for any dust specks that you can't wipe away. You'll notice that they might be lodged underneath the glass. I discovered the dust when I was trying to clear all of the dust off before applying an invisible shield and discovered that a few specks couldn't be wiped away.
But I really would say, if you don't notice it now, don't look for it. You'll just make yourself evermore pickier. I wish I'd never done so myself.

How do reduce the space between the front panel and the display area

I am trying to reduce the space between the front panel and display area but i am not able to reduce the space

A picture would be very helpful in demonstrating what you are having trouble with.
Lacking that, I will guess.
VI Properties >>> Windows Size
lets you define the minimum size of a FP window.
Well that's my guess!

Hi, I have a 3 year old Macbook Pro 13" and I accidentally cracked the outer screen of my mac book, however the LCD panel is fine and works well. Please advise what to do

Hi, I have a 3 year old Macbook Pro 13" and I accidentally cracked the outer screen of my mac book, however the LCD panel is fine and works well. Please advise what to do. I live in India and I have gone to authorised Apple technicians and they infomed me that I will have to replace the LCD panel as well even though it is not cracked, is this really true or can I just change the outer shell? Also they say that they cannot do it in India... can I do it myself at home?

Since it is 3 years old find a local repair shop that can replace the glass Only. you may have to send it out to a Non Local shop for that but there are some that specialize in doiing that on Mac notebooks.
Apple will ony replace the complete screen enclosure with all normal parts included, LCD, Camera, Aluminum housing and glass as one unit. Which is very expensive. Or you could just use it as a desktop system with external monitor and buy a new notebook.
