G550 LCD Video Problem

I have a G550 with fixed hash in several locations on the screen, see picture below. I am totally stumped as to what could be causing this problem. The hash pattern is the same regardless of the changes to the hardware, which seems impossible since I have changed everything except the case!
Actions taken:
    Video is fine on an external monitor.
    A few horizontal lines are seen during Lenovo startup screen.
    Starting in Safe Mode does not make any difference.
    Replaced Flex Cable (three different cables - one used, one new & one removed from a working G550).
    Replaced LCD Screen: (two different screens - one new & one removed from a working G550).
    Removed memory sticks one at a time & tried them in alternate memory slots.
    Replaced Motherboard with used / tested motherboard.
Would appreciate any suggestions as to what else could cause this problem!!!

  • Video problem on PXI-1025 LCD Display

    I have a video problem with the internal LCD display in a PXI-1025 MegaPAC Chassis with an NI 8175 embedded controller.  Windows XP is loaded on the machine.  The external monitor output on the controller looks fine, but all black areas on the LCD display have a snowy green appearance (green "snow" in constant motion like a bad TV picture), the white areas are pinkish, and there are random bars and lines in the display.  I substituted a different embedded controller, which made no difference.  Device Manager reports no problems under "Display Adapter", with an Intel 82815 graphics controller installed.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the display adapter, which also made no difference.  Since the problem appears on the initial boot screen, it doesn't appear that it could be a display adapter problem anyway.  I also pulled all of the boards out of the chassis, including the hard drive, which we have on a separate card from the controller, and the problem still exists.  (It doesn't boot without the hard drive, of course, but the green snow stays on the initial boot screen).
    Since the external monitor output works fine and the problem exists with two different embedded controllers, and nothing else installed in the chassis, it appears that the problem is in the MegaPAC chassis itself.  Is there anything else I should try before sending the chassis back to NI for repair?  Are there any components in the chassis that can be replaced by the user?
    Thanks,
    Al 

    Al,
    It sounds to me like it may be the display itself.  I would go ahead with the RMA.

  • T400 - Video problems and a long wait for repair...

    Hi,
    I'd just like to state my experience with Lenovo Customer Support for a video problem with my T400.  Bottom line, as of today, it's been around 27 business days that it's been with Lenovo, and 41 days total since it's failed on me, and nobody, including Lenovo Customer Support, seems to know what its status is exactly, except that they're waiting on a part which has no ETA.
    In July 2009, I bought a T400, a 2764CTO version with the switchable graphics between the internal intel graphics and the ATI GPU.
    All was well until February 1st, 2010, when the LCD sudden wouldn't work.  Well, it would work, but the screen was very very dim, even with the display maxed out on brightness.  You would have literally bring your nose to the screen in order to even make out any text or images - definitely unusable.  However, if you hooked up an external monitor via the video output, the T400 would display video output properly that way.  When I did this, I noticed that the switchable graphics option wasn't there any more - couldn't switch to the ATI GPU.  Based on this, I figured it must be a video card or LCD issue, or a combination of both.
    So, I called Lenovo Customer Support (CS) at 1-800-565-3344, since I'm up here in Canada, and I initially was issued a case number of 41JRFSD, and I agreed to send it to a local Lenovo Repair Centre.  Oops, my bad, I made a mistake using the locator tool I was told to use at bplocator.lenovo.com, and thought the Centre was relatively close.  Not quite.  So, I called Lenovo CS again, and they issued me with a new case number, 40KWSYF, and said they'd send a box for return to depot.  And within 2 days, Feb 2nd or 3rd, I got a Purolator courier return box.  That's fast service!  Pleased, I put my T400 in according to instructions, and I sent it off.
    Fast forward to about mid-February.  I called Lenovo CS, and apparently there was a delay - the depot needed a part that wasn't in stock. Fine, I know these things can happen - I'll wait.
    Fast forward to March 1st.  I talk to a Lenovo CS rep, and it appears that the part needed has arrived, and they've put a rush order to get the computer back to me. Great!
    Fast forward to March 8th, still no computer.  I talk to another Lenovo CS rep... strange, there's no update.  The issue gets escalated to the Depot managers.
    Fast forward to March 12th.  Still no word on my T400's status.  An email fron CS has been sent to the depot.  Not even the CS reps know what's going on.  The rep I talk to figures there should be a response by the end of the day.
    Fast forward to today, March 13th, 4:50pm Pacific Time.  I just finish talking to Lenovo CS, there's been no response from the depot.  Apparently there's a part that they're waiting on for repairs, but there's no ETA on it.  Is it the same part that I've waiting on all this time?  Is it a new one?  I don't know. 
    At this point, I've been told to send an email explaining my situation, and I've also been told to talk to Scott the next time I call CS on Monday after 3pm Eastern.  I have to stress that the Lenovo Customer Support Reps I've talked to have all been very sympathetic and have been courteous, helpful, and professional - something I appreciate from having worked in Customer Support myself.  But the bottom line remains: my computer's not back to me.
    So, my questions to the community here: is my experience here typical?  Is there any hope of my seeing my computer back, or even at least just the hard drive?  I've used Lenovo computers for work for the past 7 years, and it was my good work experiences that led me to buying a Lenovo for home use.  However, it's been a while since I've been without my T400, and I was hoping to get my taxes done on the computer too, since they're due at the end of March.  I'll reserve judgement on Lenovo until I get my computer back, but at this point, all I can say is... I'm disappointed.
    If you're reading this, I'll let you judge my experience for youself.  I'll update my case as it progresses. 
    Thanks!

    Hi all,
    So, an update with some good news: my computer is finally back!  
    After a total of over 40 business days (just over 2 months) I finally have my T400 back at home, working again!
    According to the spec sheets, the repair depot had to replace: the systemboard/planar, display/LCD panel, LCD cable, PC card, bluetooth, and the inverter.  BIOS/Embedded controller was also updated, along with the regular diagnostics to ensure everything was working properly.
    I give Lenovo credit though: they got the final parts to repair the computer on Monday, April 5th, and shipped my computer back to me for the next day (today, April 6th).  That's fast service, once repaired!
    However, my case spans over 4 screens of updates and repair depot orders of parts.
    Also, it took me over 10 calls to Lenovo's Customer Service, plus an escalation to a higher-level manager after 1 month had passed, to get progress updates and ETAs for repair.
    Lenovo called me only once to give me an update, and that was the manager whom my issue was escalated to: all the other times, I called Lenovo for an update.
    The story doesn't end here, however:
    In talking to Customer Support, they told me that Sales might be able to sell me an extended warranty at a discount, given the issues I had.  And indeed, after talking to Sales, they offered me a 1 year warranty extension at a price of just over $100 CDN, plus tax.  This is a sale price, compared to the regular retail of $129.  Unfortunately, they can't sell me just one month.
    At this point, I refused their offer, and again escalated to a manager to request an extension of exactly 1 month on my existing warranty.  I figure 1 month delay in repairs, that's plausible - crap happens, and while most repairs take 5-10 business days, I can understand it can sometimes go higher.  Two months though....  My request for a warranty extension is being considered by the manager it was escalated to.
    So, one last question for you folks reading this: am I being unreasonable, talking to Lenovo support one more time to request a 1 month extension of my warranty, given the length of time it's taken for repairs?  I'll post the response Lenovo will give me tomorrow, as they've said they'll do.
    One thing for sure: Lenovo's response will definitely influence my choice of brand from whom to buy a new computer (and it will influence the choice of my friends who've heard my issues, and maybe yours too).  My particular repair problem may not come up often, but if it does happen to you, I'd be happy to know of your experience.
    Thanks for sticking with me through the drama!

  • Power Mac G4 having video problems -green dots and pixelated lines

    Yesterday my Power Mac G4 running OS X (10.5.1) started having unusual video problems. I started to notice green dots on the screen where the mouse pointer had been or where application windows had recently been. The severity of the video symptoms seem to vary - from a cluster of green pixels to slight amount of fuzz in text.
    I'm thinking that this is a symptom of a problem with the video card starting to fail but I haven't ruled out the Apple Studio Display either. While the Mac was still under Apple Care support, I did have the video card replaced a few years ago due to symptoms that were much more severe than this.
    Should I get a new video card? Could it be the display at fault? How expensive would it be to take it in to the local Apple store for diagnosis/repair?

  • Skype on Vizio TV video problem

    I just purchased a Vizio Internet Apps TV Video Camera for skype. It is connected the USB port 1 on my Vizio XVT473SV LED LCD HDTV. When making a video call on my skype internet TV app, I am able to hear myself and the person I call, but cannot see either my video or that of the person that I am calling. As this is a brand new camera and app for Vizio, their technical people have received no training on either the camera or skype and are pretty much as clueless as me. Does anyone have a solution to my video problem? Thank you in advance.

    There are 3 options when you select a contact: Start Call, Start Video Call and Chat.  Also, if you're trying to call yourself within your own home to do a video call you'll need to ensure that your upload speed from your ISP is high enough to handle two video streams being sent.  Another thing to check would be that if you were calling someone on a computer, to make sure that person is running the latest version of Skype on their computer.
    When I click on "Start Video Call", as soon as the other person answers, my video appears on the left side of the screen and their video will only appear if they have show video enabled.  I'm wondering if you may have selected "Start Call" instead.

  • Powerbook G4 video problem

    Hi there i have a costumer´s Powerbook G4 with this problem
    The issue is on the mainboard, flex, LCD, video card?
    Regards

    The issue is on the mainboard, flex, LCD, video card?
    There is no separate video card--it's integral with the logic board--so that cuts the suspects to three. These checks may help narrow the issue:
    1) Move the display on its hinge. Watch the image; if it changes during flexing, its the cable.
    2) Connect an external monitor (you'll need a DVI-capable monitor or an Apple DVI-to-something else adaptor). A proper image on the external means the video hardware on the logic board is OK and the problem is in the display (including the inverter), or the cabling.

  • A puzzling video problem on a friend's Power G4 667Mhz

    I don't know when it exactly happened, maybe around the same time she got DSL, but her PowerMac G4 667Mhz (Digital Audio) developed video problems.
    Her video card is the stock Nvidia Geforce 2MX 32MB video card and her monitor is an clear enclosure Apple ADC 20"Cinema DIsplay.
    There are video artifacts on the icons, edges and around the borders on the screen at bootup in either Mac OS 9 & Mac OS X Panther. The screen would return to "normal" with the artifacts gone when she puts the Mac to sleep and wake it up or if she changes the resolution but when she shuts it down and turns it back on, the artifacts return.
    I tried zapping the pram and the artifacts went away but the moment she reboots, the artifacts are back again.
    I also tried a LCD monitor with a vga analog connector on the vga port of her Geforce MX and it worked fine.
    I'm puzzled at this point.

    Let me explain the situation more in detail:
    Her 20" Apple Cinema Displey (the clear enclosure model with the ADC connector) does work, but on boot up the screen has artifacts and the artifacts will go away when she changes monitor resolution or when she sleep and wakes her PowerMac G4.
    She has an analogue LCD from her nephews' PC and it works fine without artifacts when connected to her PowerMac G4's GeForce 2MX via VGA port.
    I tried zapping the PRAM and the artifacts went away on the ADC Apple Cinema Display but the artifacts returned upon reboot.

  • Mini DVI to VGA Adapter Video Problem

    This year at Randolph-Macon College we replaced the Math lab Emac computers with IMac G5 Intel machines. The laboratory has an NEC model MT1050 projector with a manufacturer’s date of August 2002. We can not seem to get rid of ever present scan lines. We can slow them down and speed them up by adjusting resolution and refresh rates, but nothing will remove them. We are connecting the IMac to the projector via the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter. It is specifically designed for use with the iMac (Intel Core Duo), and the adapter connects to the Mini-DVI port of the computer and the VGA end of the adapter to an external VGA monitor or projector.
    Troubleshooting the problem we have swapped IMac Intel computers with no luck, but we still have to use the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter. When we hook the projector to a Intel Mac Book Pro, we have to use a different adapter, but then it works perfectly. In fact, everything we try using other adapters works fine, it’s just when we use the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter that we experience the video problem.
    Has anyone experienced this problem and if so, have you been able to remedy it?
    iMac (Intel Core Duo)   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I don't have much to suggest, except to ask if you can try with a different mini-DVI to VGA adapter. (i.e. do you have more than one on hand to make sure yours isn't just defective?) Make sure it is firmly seated into the iMac.
    I use the same adapter to provide an extended desktop on an old CRT monitor and the display is great.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 importing/ audio and video problems

    I recently recorded gameplay from my xbox, when i open this recording using windows media player it states that the video is 3 hours 30 minutes long, which is correct, when i then import this into premiere pro, premiere pro changes it to be 5 hours and 44 minutes long, when i then play this back it plays in slow motion and audio and video start to desync, i thought it may just be the source editor playing up so i made a clip and put it into the timeline and it still had the same outcome. The speed/duration are still on 100% so im not sure what to do, anyone have any idea as to what this is, or why it is happening?

  • Why does a Safe Boot fix my video problem?

    After visiting my local Genius Bar twice (and getting two different answers), I erased and reinstalled Snow Leopard 10.6 on my late-2006 "white plastic" iMac.
    I reinstalled the version of SL that came with the iMac, then upgraded it twice to OS 10.6.8. Software Updater says all of my OS components are up-to-date.
    My video-corruption problems ("ghosting", "tearing", pixelation of icon, then the kernel CRASHES within 20 minutes) appear when I boot normally. But they permanently disappear when I reboot into the Safe Mode! 
    I've search Apple.com and every other site I can find without a clear answer to this:
    What extensions, StartUp items, software daemons or gremlins DO NOT load in Safe Mode? Shouldn't one of them be the cause of my problem? Or does Safe Boot work on a hardware-level, too?
    This happens on ALL accounts, both Admin and regular users. No external devices are connected except the wired mouse and wired keyboard.
    I've zapped the PRAM three times, and I've unplugged it for hours. Disk Utility shows everything is good, too. There's about 50 gigs left on the internal 750 GB hard drive.
    The so-called "Geniuses" both ran their Triage OS off an external drive and my iMac hardware passed ALL of their tests. One said it just needed a reinstall (a free fix!!), and the other said my video card is bad ($800, and I have to use an outside repair shop).
    Can someone give me an idea how to proceed? I've been working in Safe Mode for days, but that prevents me from using: Sound, my home network, fonts, Preview, editing in iPhoto, etc.
    Thanks.

    Hi, Mike,
    Thanks for the quick reply.
    I read the linked post about QE, but I don't see how it could help me troubleshoot my problem. Could you clarify: is QE a piece of "software" (that is, a file -- like an extension)?
    If QE IS a piece of software that is disabled in a Safe Boot, I should be able to move it to my Desktop and restart. If my video problem is eliminated, the QE software is the problem, right?
    But then, if my problem is caused by a file/extension, why would the problem occur (and be eliminated in a Safe Boot) right after I re-installed the OS? Shouldn't all the System software be pristine right after re-installation? But since it's NOT fixed by the re-installation, it seems like a hardware problem -- like the expensive video card. That's what's confusing me.
    So, I'm proceeding as if the problem is caused by a file being loaded into memory and I'm trying to disable the items that don't load in Safe Boot Mode one-at-a-time. I just need a specific list of what those items are (and their locations on my hard drive).
    In OS/9, I used Conflict Catcher to do this automatically, but I haven't found an OSX app to do the same. So I'm trying to do it manually.
    Please excuse my layman's terms. Any help is appreciated.

    I just noticed that the video card crashes after i come back from sleep mode.
    Here's the kernel log: http://pastebin.ca/2050145
    and the Xorg.log: http://pastebin.ca/2050146
    For this crash, unlike the one that happens when I view a flash video full screen, the problem can be fixed if i log off and log back on.

  • ITunes / Quicktime Video Problems With Windows VISTA

    I took up Windows Vista as soon as it was available and initially had no problems with iTunes. Then later, video clips (those purchased from iTunes and those I had converted myself) started stuttering / freezing and eventually crashing iTunes and finally I lost audio as well.
    Ayyway to cut a long story short, I have uninstalled / re-installed Vista now about eight times for problems with installing drivers for USB devices (I've finally solved all these problems). After the last install the first program I installed was iTunes, tried video and it worked flawlessly. Then, each time I added a hardware device or program I would restart Vista and retry iTunes video.
    The first item I added was a USB thumb drive (as I had on all previous occasions to take advantage of Vista's 'Ready Boost'). The thumb drive is a 'Sony 2GB micro vault tiny', and meets the transfer speed requirements for 'Ready Boost', as soon as I had set the drive up for 'Ready Boost' I started having the same problems with iTunes video and Quicktime.
    Removed the thumb drive, restarted iTunes and had flawless video playback again. Have tried this over and over with the same result.
    So my question is, has anyone else had video playback problems with iTunes / Vista and found similar problems. Trying to tie down whether this is a compatability problem with 'Ready Boost' or the thumb drive used. I have also tried a Sandisk Titanium 2GB with the same result.
    I am not sure exactly how 'Ready Boost' works, I thought it added memory that was used to cache page files to the thumb drive instead of to the HDD making a faster seek /access time? Which should make things faster. Another article I read today was talking about 'Ready Boost' being an affordable extension to RAM, in this case I could understand the problem as I would think the access to a USB 2.0 thumbdrive would be slower than that to RAM.
    Any help appreciated, but I guess my bottom line is anytime I want to watch video on iTunes, I just pull the USB thumb drive .
    PC Pentium 4   Other OS   Windows Vista Home Premium

    I have the same stuttering video issues with iTunes and Vista. While I have used a thumb drive to transfer files (not Sony) I have not yet messed with Ready boost. I have seen several others complain about the video problem, perhaps they will chime in as well. Unfortunately, your solution doesn't work for me. I pretty much ignore iTunes, waiting for the next version (only god knows when it will be released).
    I do have an external firewire drive connected, I'll disconnect later today and see if that has any affect.

  • HT3964 For the past several months my MacBook Pro has been shutting down. I get horrible video with marks and striations acress the laptop screen and an additional monitor and the weird video problems until the multilingual notice comes up saying to shut

    I used two monitors, and several months ago the MacBook Pro started crashing frequently. It seems like it might be overheating. Sometimes the disks seems to race. I leave the computer on most of the time and it sleeps when I am away, but when I come back in the morning it will have colored striations across both screens, and soon the multilingual announcement comes up that I have to press and hold down the power key.
    Also, when using a progam like Skype video, the video goes insane frequently, with Skype windows freezing, video freezing, Skype window cutting in half, and eventually the computer crashing.
    It seems to be a video problem.
    What do I do?

    I would take some screen shots of the anomalies and take the MBP to an Apple store genius bar.  I you cannot reproduce the display problems, the screen shots will at least give them a start point for an analysis.
    Ciao.
