Flickering Screen After Changing A Cracked Screen

Hello,
I cracked my screen and ordered a replacement screen from Amazon. I followed the replacement instructions, but my new screen works fine initially. Once the backlight dims due to inacticity, it flickers incessantly after I up-swipe to re-light the screen. A reset fixes it back to the point of working before the screen dims again. Also, I'm running the latest OS 10.3.1.1767. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If the phone was okay before you changed the screen, I'd suspec the new screen to be the fault, or another circuit board was damaged from whatever caused the screen to break. I have seen more than one fault with a dropped phone.

No power after changing a cracked screen

I just replaced a cracked screen on my toshiba satellite laptop and after I put the battery back in a nd turned it on it started for a few seconds and then shut off and now nothing happens when I try to turn it on. Any ideas on what has possibly happened?

Open it back up and check all of your connections, then try powering it up again after it is reassembled. Make sure the battery and power cord are disconnected while you work on it.

Flickering Screen issue after Mavericks update released on Feb 26, 2014

I own a Macbook Retina display bought in early 2014. After installing the recent Maverick update released around Feb 26, 2014 the display developed flickering problem while scrolling and now the scrolling is not smooth any more. The originally shipped machine did not have this problem. I tested other software including Photoshop and the display still flickers while panning the canvas. I also tried resetting the SMC - System Management Controller but it didn't work along with other attempts of resetting the disk permissions, running a systems cleaner, changing the wifi-router etc.
How to fix this flickering screen issue?

The problem came back lately and I tried this solution and it worked. Go to system settings > power saver > and switch off the Automatic Graphic switching. Not sure if this is a good solution, but it seem to have worked for the time being.

U150 keyboard malfunction after changing screen, = repeating, few numbers not working

Hi!
I changed my cracked U150 screen on my own (warranty is passed). I thought it worked fine on test boot before attaching the bezel. I aborted the test boot (as the instruction video said to do), and put on the bezel with some difficulty (it's a tight fit on the bottom of the screen around the hinges).
The next boot up failed, which I've never seen before. Got a bit worried, as it wanted me to try recovering to a set point (several weeks prior). Opted to just turn off and back on, and it seemed to work...EXCEPT now a few keys on the keyboard malfunction. Esc, `, 5, 6, 0, ) and Delete all type their character and then immediately type an = which repeats. The actual = button does nothing: types nothing. In caps, the keys do the same thing, but of course type a + which repeats. F5 also does it, and I'm not sure about other F keys because I don't want to do some function that will shut down my typing right now!
U15============ 0========= )+=========== When I press any other key, the repeating equals stops, of course...
When I boot up, the computer beeps repeatedly as if a key is repeating in error, so something in startup must use one of those keys and causes the same issue: since I don't actually press any key on bootup, does that indicate it's more of a software problem than a hardware problem?
I've taken off the screen bezel again (a real pain and not a good repeated activity because I typically break one tiny plastic clip each time no matter how careful I am) and no change. I see no keyboard cable anywhere near the screen or cover or hinges-just WLAN cables and the camera. I did not spill anything on the keyboard and it worked totally fine until I replaced the screen. Online info about Lenovo S or Y series seems to show the keyboard cable down low, so again, not near the screen. The screen website (laptopscreen.com) folks had nothing to say that helped. My search online shows nobody with a similar experience.
There is no Lenovo keyboard driver on the Lenovo site, so I don't see that uninstalling and reinstalling the driver would make a difference: besides, how do I reinstall a keyboard driver if I can't use the keyboard once I've uninstalled it? Is the mousepad enough to reinstall?
So, I would be ever ever so grateful for any help/ideas. What's my next step: taking out the keyboard to see if the cable loosened, even though I went nowhere near the cable??
Thanks!!

So it's been a while, but these things can drag out in life...now my brain is starting to adapt to the change, and that's annoying, so I'm back at trying to fix this.
I tried safe mode, and the problem persists. I tried returning all my startup options to default, and it persists. I previously had returned to a Restore Point before the problem, and that didn't fix it.
Today I was going to look at the keyboard cable, but getting the top off is proving to be difficult and since I can use the machine as is, even if annoying, I don't want to go there yet. Besides, there is no reason for this to be a hardware issue:
I aborted a bootup by pressing and holding the power button.
Next bootup failed, and the machine asked me to restore to a previous Restore Point.
I turned off the machine again instead of restoring, and ever since then I've had the keyboard problem.
I tried uninstalling the keyboard and restarting computer so the driver reinstalls, and that didn't fix it.
I plugged in an external keyboard and that worked fine.
I am now wondering about using Linux to get at the problem.
Any ideas? I totally appreciate how active you are on this forum, and all the folks you've given advice to. You are making computers work for people: thanks!!

Are you talking about the pane of clear glass in front of the screen in a MBP that came with a glossy display? If you replaced the glass yourself, and you have this problem afterward, then clearly you damaged your display in the process.

go into the safe mode and change the resolution, or at least reinstall the driver. Press F8 during initial startup of the laptop.

Try turning off GPU support in your Photoshop's preferences performance section. Also check that you have installed the latest device driver installed for your GT 970 adapter and that all CS6 updates are installed... Your CS6 should be version 13.0.1.3....

Macbook flickering screen & freeze, then won't boot pass the apple logo

Hi Guys,
My macbook is driving me insane now. Just recently, my macbook has occasionally flickering screen and freezes after that. Yesterday, when I was watching youtube on fullscreen, it first has flickering screen, then freezes. So I hard booted it pressing the power button. Then, when I try to restart it, it won't boot pass the apple logo no matter what.
Here's my macbook spec
2007 Summer Macbook Pro 15"
Snow Leopard 10.6 OS X
I cracked my screen once, and got a replacement, don't know if that matters.
I've tried the following:
Safe mood reboot, the progress bar goes about half, then disappears and stalls again.
Booted in verbose mode but it gives a warning message:
'com.apple.driver. internalmodemsupport declares no kernel dependencies; using com.apple.kernal.6.0'.
Booted in Single user mood, and typed fsck for disk repair. After checking said the volume Macintosh HD appears to be ok. But still won't boot pass the apple logo after restart.
Boot with installation disk pressing C at startup. Success after a few try:
Opened Disk Utility and did disk repair (no problem found).
Reinstalled Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.
This time it booted with Finder and everything for a short while, then the screen flicker and freezes again (before I can backup anything!). Then, I can't reboot pass the apple logo again.
When I try to reinstall Leopard OS X 10.5 with installation disk, the macbook seems to try to read the disk, but won't boot. I've got a CD stuck in the optical drive now.
I've tried everything I can find online short of opening it up and send it into the oven for baking! I pray it's not a hardware problem, coz I'm no good at that. (QAQ~~~) Please help me!
Thank you very, very, very much!!!
ps. this is my first post. please let me know if I have missed anything.

Reboot the machine holding the trackpad or left wired mouse button down, that shoudl force eject the 10.5 disk.
Reinstalled Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.

Ok, so your attempting data recovery efforts.
First get the 10.5 disk out of the machine, like above.
You can also boot into Single User mode, (command s at reboot) and enter
/usr/bin/drutil eject
then type
restart
Next hold c boot and use the 10.6 disk and create a data recovery drive here on a blank external drive, make sure you clean and polish the bottom of the 10.6 disk, if it's bad you will need to get a new one.
Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
If your problems continue on this drive even with a clean or new 10.6 disk, it's likely a hardware issue with your Mac, not a issue with the drive.
I suspect a failing sector on your internal boot drive, you installed OS X right over the same spot perhaps, as you were obviously able to boot from the 10.6 disk to install it so it seems the hardware of the Mac appears to be working.
You might have other issues relateing to software perhaps, something your installing or running.
Step by Step to fix your Mac
Once you have gotten your files off the internal drive, you may want to look into doing a Zero Erase with Disk Utility before resintalling 10.6 again fresh install method.

Why is my mac book pro mid 2012 display green flickering screen?

Why is my mac book pro mid 2012 displays green flickering screen? I was able to return the screen back to normal after i turn the lid up and down.
Is this a hardware issue ? should i return to applestore since the warranty still valid?

It seems like your display is damaged. As your computer is in warranty, take your Mac to an Apple Store or reseller to get the display replaced for free, as it's in warranty

H55M-E33 (1.3 bios), i3-530 - freeze with flickering screen

Hi everyone.
My setup is:
- MSI H55M-E33 motherboard (bios version 1.3)
- Intel i3 - 530 CPU
- no other graphic card, using the one integrated in the CPU.
- 2x2GB DDR3 Patriot memory (666MHz, CL9)
- Samsung SATA (320GB, 7200rpm) HDD
- ATA LG DVD Drive
- LG LCD Display, connected via DVI
- 450W eurocase PSU (22A on 12V)
- Windows 7 32bit
The problem is that the PC freezes unexpectedly, with a flickering screen (flickering colorful rectangle rows aligned in 4 or 5 vertical bars). Only hard restart helps in such case. The trouble is that this happens only rarely (about 5 times total during 10 days since I got the PC).
First time it happened was after a bios update (1.1 -> 1.3, via liveupdate utility) when the computer restarted after, as it stated, a successful bios update. I though the update failed, but after I turned the PC on again, everything was just fine. Next time it happened while playing with Google Maps, so i suspected my PSU, which was then only 300W and only 20 pin. I bought a new 450W one and thought the problem is history, but today it happened again while just working with Adobe Reader and OpenOffice.
The CPU and all other parts are well cooled (the CPU temperature rarely crosses the 40°C value).
What would you recommend to do? A bios downgrade?

Well, I did some testing, maybe it's too soon to make a conclusion, but the problem seems to occur only when the RAM modules are in Dual Channel mode.
Tests I did:
- Only the first RAM module in DIMM1 - no problems.
- Only the second RAM module in DIMM1 - no problems.
- Swapped - second RAM module in DIMM1 and the first one in DIMM3 (dual channel) - same flickering screen freeze at same circumstances.
- Both RAM modules installed in DIMM1 and DIMM2 (no dual channel) - no problems so far
Those RAM modules were bought as a kit of 2 modules for dual channel.
So far the system is stable I'm satisfied, but I regret the memory performance loss.

I have a new l7 macbook pro running snow leopard. When I try to boot into windows7 32bit, I get either a blue, black, or flickering screen. Then I have to physically shut down and try again. At that point it will load correctly. Any help?

I have a new l7 Macbook Pro running snow leopard. When I tried to to install windows 7 32 bit on bootcamp, I kept getting a flicking black and blue screen when it tried to install. (Tried several times). I finally downloaded the bootcamp windows support to a flash. I inserted that and finally got it installed. Now when I try to boot into windows I get either a solid black (sometimes blue) or flickering screen and windows will not start up. If I then physically shut down the mac and restart, it will finally boot into windows where it tells me that windows was shut down unexpectently and once I click start windows normally, it will boot up. That will generally let me boot into windows for the remaining of the day. The next day, the same thing happens again. I have tried reinstalling several times, and the same thing keeps happening. It is not my windows disk because it installs flawlessly on the mid 2008 macbook pro. Anyone know how to fix this?

Solution: Flickering Screen or UI Elements in Mavericks

Lots of threads and videos about flickering screens and UI elements in apps, especially with multiple displays going around. Various solutions from clean install, clean install with time machine backup, installing AutoCAD 360 (?!? LOL), and using SwitchResX to tweak your refresh rate have been reported as various fixes, at least temporarily.
I already own SwitchResX, because it still allows me to shift between thousands/millions/billions of colors, which the Mac OS X Display Prefs used to offer once upon a time but is now missing.
Simply toggling color count fixes the flickering, at least through a reboot. Since my Mac Pro is typically going 24/7 unless I'm swapping out hardware, it is more or less a permanent fix for me.
While Apple needs to fix this bug, $10 will both save your sanity in the meantime, while supporting an awesome independent Mac developer.
Interested in feedback from others if the toggling solution works for you.
Cheers

Hi,
your adobe form must be dynamic for this functionality. If you use WebDynpro Java, you must insert the following code to wdDomodfiyView() :

Lumia 920 Flickering Screen

I replaced my Lumia 925 because it has Screen Splotches, I decided to upgrade it to Lumia 920 last 2 days ago, but it has a Flickering Screen. My question is, is this normal? Whenever I browse pictures and it is on brighter background the flickering screen got worst. Why is that?

hi mate,
have you ensured that your phone is up to date with firmware updates, and also that you are up to date with all the latest Nokia system apps? also try performing a soft reset. if that does not work, then you may need to take your phone to your local Nokia Care point for inspection.

Iphone 6 water damage flickering screen

My iphone 6 vibrated off the edge of my counter when someone called me and into the dogs water dish on the ground below. It sat in the water for 45 minutes, until I noticed it. It was still turned on so I shut down all the apps and i turned it off immediately. Wiped down and took it to my nearest apple store where they took the phone apart and said it was covered in liquid and tried to sell me a new iphone6 for $299. I came home and let it sit in a bag of rice for 48 hours. I just took it out of the rice now and turned it on. To my joy everything seemed to be working as usual but the screen seemed to have a haze and cloudy appearance. Up pops my home screen and it is very hard to see the screen and it is flickering and flashing. I freaked out and turned the phone off and put it right back in the rice. Does anyone have any helpful tips on what I could possibly do if I let the phone sit in the rice for another 48 hours and I turn the phone on, and it still is flickering screen? Is the screen able to be fixed? Everything seemed to be working beautifully except that flashing, hazy screen. Any help/tips are GREATLY appreciated. Thank you in advance

Forty-eight hours is not really enough time to let it dry properly. Turning it own might have done more damage. It should be noted that, even if you leave the phone in rice for a week, there's no guarantee that it will ever work properly again. At this point, your best bet is to go back and get the out-of-warranty replacement.
