G570 LCD Issue

Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a Lenovo G570 4334DDU laptop and I've been a little annoyed with the LCD. It's almost as if there is a very thin mesh of lines through out the screen. It's more noticable on white backgrounds and at times it makes images look sort of pixelated. My old laptops never had such noticeable vertical lines. Is this a defect in the lcd or are the screens for this laptop just really low end?

hi poinsda,
Welcome to the Community.
Can you try the following:
1. Insert your Recovery Discs and try pressing F12 on startup - this displays a boot manager where you can select a boot device (i.e. HDD, CD/DVD, etc.) - select CD/DVD to boot from the Recovery Disc.
2. Turn off the machine and press the One Key Recovery button to trigger the built-in recovery feature on the HDD.
Note:
Loading the Recovery Discs or doing the One Key Recovery will wipe the machine and restore its factory settings
Let me know your findings,
neokenchi

MacBook Pro LCD Issue

I have an aluminum MacBook Pro 15" with Intel core 2 duo and GeForce 8600M GT.
Starting from this evening, the LCD screen shown for the whole size, many vertical green lines 1 pixel widht. The external monitor connected to the DVI work well, so it seems an LCD issue. Any one experienced same issue and/or can suggest me a solution?
Thanks in advance
Claudio

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Since the external works well, it does sound like a display issue, and could be a hardware fault in the display itself. If so, the solution would probably be to replace the display.
If you have access to an Apple Store, it would be worth making an appointment at the genius bar to have a trained professional look at it in person and give you an opinion.
For future reference, you do have the graphics chip which is covered by this program:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
Since the external has good video, you probably don't have that problem now, but keep it in mind if you start having problems on the external as well.
Good luck!

LCD issue in iphone 4g, please help

I bought new iphone 4g, and when i turned the phone for first time, i found vertical blue line in lcd from up to down. how i can fix it? im living in kuwait.please help

You may understand what he meant but the correct product name is iPhone 4 not iPhone 4G since the phone does not have 4G hardware in it.
I got ya...I use to call it the iphone 4G too because it was the 4 Generation iphone. But with all this 4G getting thrown around by the carriers I can see where it could be an issue calling the iphone4 an iphone 4G. Technically there isn't really any phone out there that has 4G technology in it, including the EVO from sprint. 4G is basically a marketing term. None of the current networks meet the official standards for 4G, only the HSPA+ which isn't technically built on 4G technology. You probably won't see TRUE 4G technology for a long time. I currently build cell towers and the technology isn't at the towers yet.

G570 Hinge Issue (related to Screws)

I have checked some of the threads related to this topic but they are all fairly old and haven't addressed my query.
It started earlier this year when the right hinge (when looking at the screen), on my G570 started acting wonky, I had no idea what they problem was and it didn't affect the performance (just made a cracking sound when I opened it). It wasn't until the past weekend when the left hing also started behaving poorly that I realized the issue. The screw holding the hinge down had come out and now whenever I moved the hinge the hinge moved as well. This makes it hard to get the screen to say upright, it makes it extremely difficult to adjust the angle (used to be able to adjust from 0-120 degress, now its pretty much 90 degrees or closed).
I have to put my finger where the hinge is as I close the laptop to try and replicate the job the screw once did. This is not perfect but it gets the job done (takes about 5 attempts), but it will definitely not continue to suffice.
I fear that the issue may be more than just the screws though, I don't want to order some screws (I can get them for under $10 but I'd still rather not spend $10), only to find that the issue is that the bracket is the issue (screws are useless if the thing they screw into is broken). I was wondering if there were any other less-crucial screws on the computer that I could take out to check to see if the hinge only needs new screws.
Basically are there any screws on the underside that I could move to the hinge area for the time being/check to see if getting new screws would fix the issue? I want to make sure I don't ruin my computer by removing another vital screw, but definitley would like to test the screws before I go and order some more.

Update:
So I found another thread that is 23 pages long, at about page 9 I found out that someone who's warranty had expired was able to get the problem fixed, becuase it is a known issue. Another person was required to pay $187 because it wasn't covered under the warranty, but was later refunded the money.
So while my warranty is up, it appears I may still have a shot at having this repaired professionally (glad I didn't remove anything). However according to the support site I could be billed for the call to Lenovo because my warranty is up? How is that a way to do business? Will I be told at what point I will be billed (at which point I could hang up), or is it billed from the start?

Weird Laptop LCD Issues

I've having weird issues with my T500 LCD. Whenever I run certain apps, all the icons on the desktop (that I can see) flicker until either A) I close the app B) it resolves itself and loads. This issue seems to always happen when the app I'm using has a splash screen (basically a small square image in the center saying I'm loading app X) I'm updating the drivers and hoping that this resolves the issue.
I don't know what is causing the issue and I don't know know when its started.
T500, Win XP Ati HD 3650.
(NOTE: The apps DO work on other machines... )
EDIT: No luck, the weird screen issue is still happening.
T500 2081 CTO ~ T9600 2.8GHz ~ WXP Pro 32bit ~ WSXGA+ 15.4 LED ~ATI 3650 ~ 4GB DDR3 RAM ~ 500GB WD 7200rpm
Camera ~ AT&T WWAN ~ CD/DVD Combo Drive ~ Intel WiFi 5300 AGN

what if you switch to the intel gpu mode?

N97 mini LCD issue

By mistake I kept my N97 mini in back pocket of my jeans and kept sitting for around an hour !! I believe that LCD was facing my body while it was in pocket. I assume it got pressed by body weight and now touch is not working properly, specially lower part of lcd. Do I need to take it to Nokia care or do I have any other option ?

If you are sure that the issue started after that then most probably its related to Hardware and its best to visit Nokia care... but before you do that back-up your data as in all probability this will be wiped-off during the repairs...

New Lenovo G570 Teething Issues

Dear Lenovo-connected moderators, outriders and the like (Please note that in error I originally posted this to the other thread):
I just bought in Europe a new Lenovo G570. I have the following issues:
Since I always resize the C: partition I have removed the possibility of using one-key restore. It seems bizarre that Lenovo would force keeping the C: partition at its initial size. Surely it would be possible to write the one-key software to work around repartitioning the HDD. I did the resize of the C: partition immediately after purchase as part of my personal data and program installation and found out later about the requirement not to resize. Moreover, as far as I can recall there was no D: partition already installed, which I might have been able to live with (I prefer multiple data partitions). Any way to fix this problem? For I restored the C: partition to its original size but that didn't help; I couldn't get the recovery DVD's made; the one-key button was non-functional. What do I have to do to get the recovery features back? For I see that for very similar products a fresh install of Win 7 causes all kinds of problems, and in the absence of recovery DVD's that's really the only other option. I should point out that at the moment the computer is working; I'm just trying to do my preventative medicine for the day the computer crashes.
Lenovo's model numbering is very confusing, as is the Lenovo habit of updating system specs on the fly. My model name is 20079; my model number is CB01031166. If I download the current specs for the model from the Lenovo site (just did) they don't agree with what I have. Major differences are that my computer shipped with an Intel i5-2410M processor, a 640 GB HDD and with a separate ATI Graphics Card (Radeon Premium). Thanks, but this leads to issues about driver updates when I search for downloads for my computer on the Lenovo site. In particular, it's not clear to me whether I should be reflashing BIOS with the latest BIOS. On the thread about serious issues with the Idea Pad Z570, I saw recommended the reflashing of the BIOS. You might ask, well why would I go there? Because the Lenovo site does not support searching on models that are not branded Think Pad or Idea Pad. Mine's branded Essentials and it's just not recognized even in the automated search using the Internet Explorer. So searching for Lenovo G570, that's what a Google search turned up and the specs of the Z570 are extremely similar to the G570 I have. So if someone could tell me how to find the driver updates for my model, I'd be very grateful.
I see in the Z570 thread that if the CD is not the first boot priority then the WiFi doesn't work. Does this also apply to my model?
When I boot with an external Sata HDD attached (to see if BIOS will recognize it for boot purposes), the boot procedure freezes until I unplug the Sata HDD. Of course the external HDD is plugged into the USB port. This seems to be a problem with the BIOS, although admittedly I can't recall if the BIOS flash screen shows and it freezes after, or it freezes before it reaches the BIOS flash screen.
I also see that the fan that's always running is actually a serious warranty issue. I hadn't realized that it wasn't some quirk of my software. So here we are with a serious warranty issue. Update: 23/2/12. This does not seem to be a real problem on my machine at the moment. While the fan works more than I would have expected, it will shut down eventually once the computer is not doing anything. Possibly the actual software I'm using on the machine is causing heavy fan use. This is something of a relief.
According to the specs the computer ships with a USB/eSata port. And indeed there is a port in the right place that is different from the other USB ports. The port of course works with USB. However, its shape is not the usual eSatap shape. In particular it doesn't have the cutouts left and right for the usual eSatap jack. Instead it has a cutout at the top. But for the life of me and my dealer, there is nowhere on the Net where we can find an image of the Lenovo USB/eSata port and certainly nowhere where I can buy a jack/adaptor/external SATA disk that fits the Lenovo USB/eSata port.
Here's an image of my USB/eSata port. It's the middle of the three ports. Of course, on the left is something for TV that is irrelevant, and to the right is a normal USB port. How do I find anything to work with it at eSata speeds?
Thanks very much.

Thanks for replying ExJamJus.
I will ask the local reseller, but I suspect they don't know more than anyone else. The problem is that the specs are very fluid on these units--after all, I have a ATI Radeon graphics card whereas the specs typically say that its an integrated (on-the-motherboard) Intel graphics card. Some places, as other users have noted, they do spec it as having an eSata/USB port, but there's just no plug available with that shape with any specification. My technician who sold me the computer thought that the only possibility was that the plug would be introduced later. He'd never seen one and he takes computers apart and fixes them.
As for the drivers, I installed all the drivers. Nothing terrible happened except as follows:
One of the ATI Radeon updates, for Hydravision I believe, comes to an end where kdbsync.exe can't start at boot time because Open.dll is missing. You can follow up on the Internet. The fix is to download Open.dll and put it in the proper folder in Program files. It works now--or at least I don't get an error message at boot time.
This is import for Lenovo: Lenovo energy management upgrade gave me the option to install on top of the old Lenovo energy management but it would require a reboot. So I did it. But what happened was that Lenovo energy management wouldn't start at boot time. I tried repair, no deal. So I had to completely uninstall Lenovo energy management and then do a fresh install. It works now. This is going to irritate people. Bad for business.
It's unclear in some of these cases just what driver is installed on the computer and it's not clear whether the driver installer programs are always coded to check whether the driver being installed is not older than the installed driver. So it makes it a little chancy to download and install a driver that was issued not long before the manufacture date of the product.

G570 BIOS Issue

My Lenovo G570 is working fine one day. When I try to use it a few days later, I receive a Windows boot error;
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.
I thought "Oh great! Now I have to find my recovery disks!"... which I do have. Problem is when I try to load the BIOS by restarting the laptop and pressing F2, keep getting the same Boot error. The machine does not load the BIOS as I thought it would. I'm not sure what to do from here. I need access to the BIOS to change the boot order and have the machine read my recovery disk. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

LCD issue

wasp pple i gt an hp DV41 Core i5 , i dropped it and t cracked the lcd and damaged the hard disk, i hv gt a new hard disk but cant afford the LCD ($300 this syd ) so how do i install the OS using external LCD

Hi @paolomaldini
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I am sorry to hear about all the damage your notebook has suffered and certainly it makes things awkward. Let's see if we can find a way to do it for you.
Normally with an OS installed, if the panel is closed and an external monitor is connected, the video automatically gets redirected to the external display. Of course that does not help with the keyboard, unless you have an external keyboard installed as well.
Unfortunately as you are also dealing with a blank hard drive, there is no OS, and you cannot see the BIOS to change to an external boot device. Also because of the extent of the damage you have described to your computer, there is no guarantee that other damage does not exist to the boards or other components.
That being said , something you could try is to install the operating system using your installation disk, to the hard drive as an external drive attached to a different computer.
How to Install an Operating System on an External Hard Drive - eHow.com
If you can do that you can then install the drive to your notebook and see if you can boot from it with the external display attached.

G570 Sound Issues

Sorry if this is a duplicate. I typed a long thing then it errored out when I clicked submit.
I bought a G570 in december and it has been a great laptop. Until saturday, then all audio playback is jumbled and slow and crackly. ALL audio. Not just streaming.
I replaced audio drivers, updated bios, vid drivers, codecs, directx, etc. Issue is still happeneing. I had done a full system backup when I got it, so I ran the restore and the issue is still there.
I booted to a Linux based USB stick and the sound works just fine. it is not hardware related.
I installed Ubuntu 11.10 and the sound works fine.
I wiped the partition and reinstalled windows 7 professional from scratch and the issue comes back.
I see others have had this issue. Has there been any update on it? One of the reasons I got this laptop was to have a mobile media player. It is useless to me without sound. I'd keep linux on here, but if I wanted a Linux laptop I would've bought one in the first place.
Please tell me there is a fix for this that doesnt involve me sending the laptop away...

OK this is weird...
Turned off Wireless network card and sound became fine.
Turned it back on and it became jumbled again.
Replaced wireless drivers and same issue occured.
On a whim... I turned the power off of the wireless HP printer and the sound became fine!!!
Removed the driver and the wireless port from the PC and then turned the printer back on. Sound jumbles came back.
I have wireless on my custom built gaming desktop and on my dell work laptop. Neither one have this issue or notice any difference when the printer is on or off.
Wireless printer being on or off doesnt affect eh sound when I boot to Linux based USB-LIVE stick.
SO.... something in this laptop combined with windows 7 and the wireless signal of the HP printer is afecting the sound output. Doesnt make sense to me, but at least I found the root of the problem (at least for me). Why this started on saturday, I dont know. Wierd...
The model of the HP printer is Photosmart Premium All in One c309
I hope this helps others with this issue.

X201s LCD issue not taken under warranty

I had posted earlier on this issue here
I purchased my x201s last year and after maybe a week or two (or maybe since new) I noticed a white spot on the left side corner of the screen (see photo). Because I use my laptop for work everyday I could not send it back (I wish I had choosen the onsite warranty).
Having some free time these days I sent it back to lenovo. There response was that it is going to cost me $700 and did not give any explanation as to why it was not cover under the warranty.
The person reluctantly escalated my issue to another service without giving me any explanation at all and the answer came back $700 dollars to fix the screen.
I am outraged at the way I have been treated on this issue. I have not been given any information, I have been without laptop for two weeks now and I don't seem to be able to talk to anyone else than my initial contact who is to say the least uncooperative.
There is no reason to be treated like this for a $500 dollars piece of equipment. But when you paid $2000 dollars this is as if Lenovo was saying we don't provide customer service anymore go to our competitors
My last ressource is this forum. If there is a way for me to get in contact with a manager who could look at my case I would greatly appreciate it.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks lead_org but I remember seeing two of your posts last year saying the opposite

the light spot means there is a pressure spot behind the LCD. This should be replaceable under warranty.
And particularily this one with option d exactly describing what happened to me:

1) can you post an image of the problem?
2) Cracked LCD can be due to:
a) dropping the laptop on a hard surface.
b) the LCD have uneven pressure spot behind the LCD, which when loaded by an external force (i.e. putting a large load on the top case), causes a concentrated stress resulting in LCD cracking.
c) closing the LCD too hard, i.e. slamming it shut
d) a manufacturing defect or there is construction defect, if the latter usually light spots on the LCD would appear first.
cases a,b and c are the most common causes of LCD cracking.
Unless you have some sort of proof that the case d was the cause of the LCD cracking, then there is very little likelihood that Lenovo would repair the LCD damage under warranty.
All of this to say that this is what I experienced. An lcd white spot appearing a few weeks after having received the laptop (may there since the beggining..) and I then later noticed tiny cracks.
I feel this is my right as any consummer to express my concerns and receive the service associated with my product. My mistake is not to have returned the laptop right away

New iMac 24" LCD issue

Hi all, hope somebody here can give me an accurate answer or how serious my problem is.. Basically the whole iMac runs beautifully however just a problem with the LCD screen - on the left side about a 1/4 my browser window with a white background is bright white - but when i drag the window towards the centre to the right side it is all dirty white (dull light brown) - is this a serious problem with the LCD screen? I've only had it under two days now..
I'm not sure if this is a normal behaviour for an LCD

CJ, you have a sharp eye. It took me two days before I noticed it, but there is a slight variation from the extreme, white left side and the rest of the screen. There was some mention about these screens being bad for calibration (that conclusion is incorrect, I use a Monaco X-Rite DTP94 and ColorEyes to get good color fidelity) ... but I am disturbed by this brightness variation.
I considered returning my iMac, so I dropped by the Apple store today and checked out all of the 24" iMacs. I believe this occurs on all of them. I spent some time with an incredulous Apple Store employee, and after a while of staring and comparing he admitted that there was a slight variation. It might not actually be differing brightness, but a slightly different tone between the extreme left and right sides of the screen.
Anyhow I think I'll just get an Eizo 24" monitor to run as an expanded desktop with the new iMac, but from my inspection this appears to be a phenomenon that affects all 24" monitors, and returning your iMac for a new one will probably end in the same result.
You have hawk eyes to even notice it, it's a very subtle gradation, but nevertheless real.

MacBook Pro ( Late 2007) Replacement LCD Issues

Hey everyone,
I'm new to the forum and I was hoping you guys could help me out.
I have a MacBook Pro 2,2Ghz Santa Rosa, with a failing LCD. ( 2/3 of the LCD panel are just black...) So, I took it appart and found the panel inside my MBP to be a LG LP154WP2 TL-A1. I bought a new LCD panel from eBay which was described as being compatible with my MBP. When it arrived, it turned out to be a LG LP154WP2 TL-A3.
When I connect this panel to my MBP logicboard, I only get a white screen. System boots up normaly and I can see it in the network, and when I hook op an external display, is get a normal dekstop.
I did a SMC reset twice, cleared the NVRAM/PRAM and triple checked al connections ( LVDS on logicboard and display ) but everything is oke.
The eBay seller claims this panel has to work with this model MacBook Pro, and actually send me another panel, also a TL-A3, but I get the same white screen.. When I hook up the original TL-A1, I get picture again...
So my question, Is the TL-A3 panel compatible with my MBP, or do I need a different revision LVDS cable, or what else am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the help in advance

Hi Wiebo,
seeing you are also from the Low Countries (I am from Flanders), I could just as easily answer you in Dutch. For good Forum order, lets stick to English.
From experience, I can tell you that a blank display is mostly due to a faulty Data Display Cable or connector, in both cases in this thread possibly an incompatible cable or connector, probably meaning you will have to stick to the exact TL-A1 in both your cases. If the new display has a bigger resolution than the original, probably the cable will have more data lines.
Do the connectors on the TFT side look exactly alike on both the defective TFT and the replacement part?
Also, you could as a last resort try to put the connectors on the mainboard slightly askew. I have a Powerbook which was cured in this way.
Good luck!

Shared line LCD issue

Customer is running CCM 4.2(3) and has 7960s with 7914s setup with shared line appearances to monitor the other users. When a shared line is ringing on the 7914, the 7960 shows the call info on the LCD of the 7960. The receptionists don't want to see that. They only want the status to show on the 7914. I've tried the Always Use Prime Line setting, but didn't work.
I know its just a setting somewhere I'm missing.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Kevin

Under 4.2(x) this BLF is (only) used for the new "Directed Call Park" feature, and cannot be used for "monitoring" a shared line. As far as I know, this is part of the 5.x releases (together with a Presence Server?).
Trying to suppress (or minimise) the displayed info on the receptionists , you could try to change the "Line Settings for this Device", "Ring Setting (Phone Idle) & (Phone Active)" to disable, and deselect all options under the "Forwarded Call Information Display".
Also leave (set) the "Auto Line Select" to "Disabled", otherwise they risc the possibility to pickup accidently a "shared line".
Succes.

Line of pixels and other LCD issues

I've had this iBook for almost a year (one year this Christmas) and it's screen already looks and feels like junk. Right after I got it, a nick formed it the bottom left-hand corner. It still works right there, just a nick in the plastic. Next, the plastic chipped in the upper right-hand corner, and there was a hairline crack above the latch. Now, there's a line of green pixels, right down the right-hand side of the LCD. I know this was a common problem on Tibooks. This iBook has seen NO abuse, heavy use, unwarranted openings, ect, yet it still suffers from these problems. The hard disk has been wiped and reformatted by Apple, even though it failed. If I get one more problem, I'm calling Apple, even though I should call and complain now. My old Toshiba Notebook suffered from a LCD failure, but at two years after its purchase. If this thing goes to Apple one more time, my parents are going to kill me, since I'm the one that recommended them to buy me an expensive iBook rather than a cheap Dell.
What I'm asking is, What should I do? I have a not-even 1-Y.O iBook that's dying. I don't want to switch back to PCs, but my parents might force me. I want my next Mac to be a desktop, preferrably a Used Powermac G4, but I might get a cheap Dell.
Thank you,
Ian A.

Weird, it's gone now! When I tilt the screen all the way, it slowly appears light, than fades. I have a feeling this will be a cable or a wire, and that Applecare probably won't cover it. Anybody have a similar expierience, and did Apple fix it, under warranty? I have no money to spare on a new computer right now, or to have one fixed. I'm also afraid Apple will make me pay for it, even though like I said, this iBook has seen NO abuse, drop, ect...
