Fatal problem with screen going bezerk
Hi all
I have a serious issue with my MBP-12 (not the newest version) that goes like this: At work, I use an external monitor (via displayport) with a different resolution. My MBP is ”closed” and called up soley by the connection. When I leave for home, I simply unpluck the cables (power, usb, displayport) and the MBP hypernates. When I come home, I open up the mac and it would normally just adjust screen resolution and be ready.
However: Lately, I get a serious fault here. The screen goes bezerk and shows all kinds of dots. Even if I close the screen again, it will not come back to normal. I have to pull the emergency break and power off totally and the reboot.
I am unsure if this has to do with the new Mt. Lion. I have upgraded to that.
Or if it has to do with a hardware fault – a loose connection or what ever.
So:
- is this a known issue – that the MBP (perhaps due to Mt. Lion) has problems with switching between resolutions?
- or could the be a hardware fault here?

Problem with screen going suddenly blurry and no controls working
Allo everyone,
I bought a brand new iMac a few months ago and twice I've had the problem of the computer freezing with the screen going completely blurry and none of the controls working. No mouse clicks, no keyboard taps, nothing.
The last time it happened is tonight, and I had Firefox, Safari and Quicktime running at the same time. I can't remember what I had open the first time, I think it was just Firefox.
Nothing short of hitting the power button and switching off the computer can solve the problem. After rebooting it works perfectly.
It's got me a little worried as my partner and I work on some quite major projects, and I'd hate to think it's going to do that in the middle of our work.
Is this a software or possible hardware malfunction? Or am I doing something wrong here?
Many thanks in advance.Definitely take it back, quickly. Most likely, by symptoms, you have a failing motherboard. Seems to be an issue with HP with many of their models. If your warranty expires your goose is cooked. I'd recommend you show the repair facility the actual symptoms before you leave the store, and get them to write up the problem accurately at time of drop off and get a copy. Get a paper trail. If you ship it in include a detailed description and keep a copy.

Pavilion 23xi monitor - problem with screen going blank
Hello there, Recently, the screen on my 23xi monitor started to go blank after some usage (the time varies). When this happens, the power light on the right corner of the monitor remains lit, however the power button doesn't do anything when pressed. I don't think it's my computer putting it to sleep, since I've already checked my power settings for that, as well as the ones on the monitor's OSD. The only way I can get a video image back is by unplugging and replugging the power connector located on the back. I've had the monitor for only a year and a half. Any ideas? Thanks!
Is there any fix for this please as the exact same thing is happening to me. I've had the monitor 1 and a half years, and for the last week, on either VGA/HDMI/DVI, and connected to either my PC or games consoles the screen will effectively freeze after a given period of time (always after around 20 mins or 30 mins of use). The power light stays lit and can't be switched off, the only way is to unplug from the wall, which is very annoying. According to HP website the 1 year warantee expired in June 2014 so I am not sure what I can do to get this resolved, but a monitor should last more the a year and half, all my other monitors are 3-4 years old and still working.

HT4623 problem with screen touch when during writing or opening icon the screen is flickering
I have problem with screen touch, when I touch the screen to write something or open icon the screen is flickering and keyboard or icons begin jumping
@ wesleyyin,
certainly strange. Some questions to help with the diagnostics;
Which TrackPoint cap you you have on your keyboard, soft domed, soft rim or classic domed (the hairy one)?
Can you try disabling the TrackPoint to see the problem goes away?
Anything else laid on top of the system or between screen and keyboard like a thin cloth or something?
Thanks

Upgraded three systems to Mountain Lion yesterday (Early 2011 MBP, Mid 2010 Mini and Mid 2011 Mini).
I rely on Screen Sharing to maintain the two Minis using the MBP. Now, while the Mid 2010 Mini can be accessed just fine, the same is not true for the Mid 2011 Mini. After a long delay, a window will pop up but is black. If I toggle between scaled and full screen a couple of times, the screen will be displayed but will accept no input. Odd.I was able to resolve the problem with screen sharing from my MBP to my problematic Mini.
My home network uses a Belkin N600 dual band router with both the MBP and Mini using the faster N band. After switching the Mini to the slower band, screen sharing began working again. My other Mini that worked all along was hardwired to the router so was not an issue.
Oddly, with Lion, screen sharing worked having the MPB and Mini on the same N band. -
NMac Pro 6core D500 problems with screen refresh: 10.9.3 warning!
Avoid 10.9.3 on the Mac Pro 6 core, D500.
Problem with screen refresh using Motion soon after updating OSX from Mac Pro late 2013 version of 10.9.2.
I tried my Asus HDMI at all resolutions but to no avial. The screen juddered like it was Windows 95 without any GPU drivers.
Apple's Tech Support had me use many key commands and finally we found out there was no issue with my hardware. Apple suggested a clean install before sending it back for repair. I was fortunate to have had made a backup in the Time Machine of my computer soon after installing all my apps. After restoring my computer is running 10.9.2 version made for the Mac Pros Late 2013. There are no more problems with screen redraw after using Motion.
So, it is clear I cannot upgrade my Mac Pro to 10.9.3 while the issue with Motion's render engine messing with my screen refresh continues. Returning to 10.9.2 has made me realize 10.9.3 is slower and not as stable.
I would suggest not upgrading unless you have a 4k monitor.Avoid 10.9.3 on the Mac Pro 6 core, D500.

Satellite Pro L20 -can anyone tell me whether I have a problem with screen?
Hi,
I have a Pro L20 - PSL25E and i have recently been having problems with the screen, it has been intermittently flickering/losing colour and almost whiting out (when the colour fades white vertical lines start to appear).
This seemed to become worse after i dropped it (only from about 2 feet off the ground not a big drop).
I thought the sceen may be going, but the perfomance of the laptop seems to be affected when this is happening, the laptop has started to run very slow (the mouse tracks slow, programs I've clicked take ages to run and it sometimes freezes until it stops flickering) which had me thinking it might be a virus or perfomance issue.
My screen drivers are up to date, i ran a full scan with McAfee, ran a system clear-up and a defrag.
I was wondering if anyone knew whether this seemed like a problem with the screen connections and would need replacing or whether it could be repaired, or whether it was a perfomance issue?
Any help would be much appreciate thanks!
Rebecca.Sounds like the Graphics chip has a problem, which I think is a Mainboard replacement.
You can get a quote for the repair at an Authorized Service Provider. There is an ASP list on the Toshiba website. -
Problems with screen freeze with Adobe touch since 8.1 upgrade.
When reading a document my screen will freeze and go blurry at times, especially if my PC goes to sleep.
It seems to have started after I upgraded to 8.1, and yes my Adobe touch is up to date.Although our team members have seen similar issues, we have not determined the root cause of the problem yet. It appears to be caused by graphics card driver failure or incompatibility with the Windows 8.1/RT 8.1 operating system after resuming from temporary suspension of an Windows Store app.
Have you seen this error message on your Windows 8.1 desktop when your device/PC "wakes up" from sleep?
So far, we have not seen the problem with Microsoft Surface RT / Surface Pro tablets and most PCs.
If you are willing to troubleshoot, could you update your graphics card driver to the latest version that supports Windows 8.1 to see if the problem still persists?
Thank you for your help. -
Since gnome 3.2 problems with screen updates
Hi!
Since the upgrade to gnome 3.2 I have a very weird problem that the screen doesn't get redrawn.
For example, after login into gnome-shell starting terminator, as soon as I start typing something
the cursor stops blinking and no characters apear. My workaround is to switch to any tty and back to Xorg.
After that the characters are there. this is somewhat anoying and seems to get worse in the last week.
It also seems to happen a lot if I have to input a password e.g. gksudo or wlan password.
I have a hp probook 5320m with intel i915 driver, I'm not sure if the gnome shell triggers some intel bug
or gnome shell is doing something wrong here.
Anyone else has similar issues?
With gnome 3.0 I had no problems.In the meantime I found the following:
- When I suspend with the power button, the screen is locked, but not when I use the status menu option
- This seems to be related to the screen setting 'Lock screen after'. I had it set to 1 minutes. When I change it to 'after the screen goes blank' the
problem doesn't seem to occur.
So, the way it looks now, it uses the same settings for delaying the locking the screen after the screensaver kicks in when locking the screen before suspend.
Which doesn't make much sense. And then the behaviour is still inconsistent with the power button suspend. -
I've installed the latest version of Shockwave, updated the driver from Logitech for my mouse (Logitech M525), tried both full screen and regular modes, restarted Firefox repeatedly. This drift is very annoying - I spend the majority of my time on FB - seems like the amount of drift varies from not at all to "damn it, I can't even place my mouse on an object without the screen moving".
I'm on Windows 7 with an Acer V5-671 laptop - help please!You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Troubleshooting
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Problems with screen saver image quality
Just got a MPB 15 inch. Very happy with it but have a small problem with the screen saver. I use my i Photo folders as the source for screen saver images. Some photos are shown in very good quality but others are very poor - as if low res. The original images are all of the same high quality. Seems to occur whichever video setting is used under power saving. A minor issue I now but any ideas?
Hi, Mark. Apparently some of the photos being used are low-resolution thumbnails, not full-resolution images.
What version of iPhoto do you have, and which OS version are you running? On my MBP running 10.5.6 and iPhoto 7.1.5, "All folders" is not an option in the Screensaver pane of System Prefs, so I don't know what you're actually choosing. But if I select "Pictures" (which refers to the Pictures folder in my Home folder), then the screensaver uses every .jpg file that it finds in any of the several iPhoto Libraries inside my Pictures folder. The thumbnails created by iPhoto are .jpgs, so they get used by the screensaver along with full-size high-resolution images.
The solution is not to select a folder that contains any thumbnails. -
Problem with screen after update
hello,
I have a BB Passport and I have a problem after the last software update OS 10.3.1.1565
- the screen is flashing when i go into an application... This happens randomly... not every time. First I had this problem with Evernote. I erased everything from my phone and I performed a full wipe (factory reset). The problem is not solved. now is happening more often... when I go to settings, when I open an app... and so on. Usualy is flashing white screen, but last night when I wanted to watch a video, it flashed green screen...
Is there a way to solve this problem? Is this a software problem? Or I have to replace my screen?http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB36757
There is a fix, though not officially released yet by BlackBerry:
