Green or Black Screen

Here is my issue. I received the 1.6.2 update. Since then I have been experiencing interruptions every so often. The sound will stop, the picture flickers and the screen goes green for a few seconds. Then the picture comes back. I reset and reset and reset and.......well you get the idea. I am getting a little tires of resetting. Motorola needs to get their act together and get a better DVR box.
I am connected through HDMI and tried the Composite Cable, but the picture was not as sharp. My only other solution id to go back to DirecTV or get a Tivo Box. If I get a Tivo Box does anyone know if Verizon issues the M-Cards (I think that is the one card). Will I still be able to record one show while watching another? I know I will need a subscription, but that is better that not knowing if the Motorola Box will work one day to the next. If Tivo can"t help than I guess its back to DirecTV.

Make sure you are using component cables (not composite).  Component cables should not degrade picture quality compared to HDMI.  The only difference you will see is if your TV's picture settings are different for each different input selected.  Because of this, some calibration may be required when switching cables.

  • Display switches to green and black colors

    New RFB 2.4gig MacBook Pro display switches to green and black colors and looks like a 256 color mode. It has done this two days in a row and only after surfing for about 1 hour. Restart fixes the problem. Usually when this occurs I have Safari, Opera, Mail and maybe another program open and occurs when closing windows in rapid succession. Situation does not occur for the remainder of the day.

    The problem has not occurred for two days after extensive use of the laptop. Both times that I got the green and black screens was after using the 5.8GHz telephone handset near the laptop. I updated to the latest Flash Player but I doubt Flash was the cause of the problem since Flash is regularly used and the condition only repeats when the telephone handset is used near the laptop. Never have had a problem like this with 6 previous Mac laptops.

  • My iPod Nano (fourth generation) is stuck on a black screen and will not charge. It's done this before and you can still see a faint outline of the green charging sign and the time/date. HELP

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Has anyone experience Mac Book Pro screen went alien green and black?

    Hi...I was using my mac when the screen suddenly turned alien green and black, I can still use it though (like save the file and so on). It turn alright after you restart the computer, but I'm afraid if something has gone wrong.Does anyone ever experience the same problem? Does anyone know what is wrong with my mac? I start using this computer since November 2008. Cheers!

    Update:
    I brought it into the Apple Store near my house once. Booted up fine twice. Brought it back, because the green and black vertical lines, and the inversion of colors froze the computer 4 times after the visit. The Apple Genius ran a MacBook Pro NVIDIA graphics card test, which went well until it FAILED one of the tests.
    I had the option to have it fixed in the course of a week, but I thought that since it froze only a few times, that I could work through it (I have important final projects coming up), but now it won't start up. I will have to have Apple ship it away to fix it, because they are behind in their repair shop in the store. So, I will be without it for a week.
    They said it had something to do with the logic board, which I think is part of the motherboard. So, I am glad I backed up most of my projects' data, as they said they might have to erase data when they fix it.
    So, save your files onto external media (HD, flash drive, CDs, DVDs, etc.), and don't let this problem persist; have an Apple Genius check it out, so that you're not in my boat.
    I wish you the best in your troubleshooting!

  • Apple TV 1G black screen or green and violet colors please help me

    Hi, I have an apple tv 1G and from one day to another is not black screen, the strange thing is that on another monitor "HP w2207" looks good. But I've tested Sony LED TV, LG, .... and does not work in some apple when starting out and color is violet and green and looks bad but does not exit the main menu. I've reinstalled the factory, I tried to change resolution I miss everything but nothing. I'm desperate please help me

    I also periodically have this purple/green color showing on the screen when I turn on and sometimes it happens when I turn on Directv so not an Apple TV issue.  I believe in my case it is the HDMI cable/port causing it.  But it corrects and gives normal picture if I turn off the tv and all devices and turn all on again.

  • Green/black screen

    My videos have audio but the screen is green or black. Adobe help says shockwave flash is installed, but I can't find it on my computer.

    "Green Screen" is nearly ALWAYS caused by either outdated or corrupted video drivers.
    Even if they're showing as fully up to date, they can be "broken".
    Update them from the manufacturer, NOT Windows update.

    Even if a check says they're up to date, download and install them, you'll usually have an option to "repair" during the process. Choose that if you see it.

  • My screen has greens and black lines going down the middle an I can't access anything. What could be wrong? It happened all the sudden.

    My screen has greens and black lines going down the middle an I can't access anything. What could be wrong? It happened all the sudden.

    You're welcome! I feel your pain - both "closest" Apple Stores to me are almost 2 hours away. When I called for another problem under warranty the AppleCare guy checked my zip code and found an AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) 20 minutes from me I had no idea existed. They diagnosed the problem (bad bluetooth keyboard) and ordered a new one for me. The AppleCare person will probably use this http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/ so you can check it now. And AppleCare could well diagnose your problem over the phone anyway. And I feel certain it wasn't something you did inadvertently.

  • My Time Capsule backups disappeared (blank black screens) and in trying to set it up again I now find that when TC is plugged in and on (green light) it cancels out wifi reception from my router. I am only using TC as a backup not for wifi. Help!

    My Time Capsule backups disappeared (blank black screens) and in trying to set it up again I now find that when TC is plugged in and on (green light) it cancels out wifi reception from my router. I am only using TC as a backup not for wifi. Can anybody help?

    Sorry, you have lost me since it appears that you have two completely separate issues here.
    All that I can suggest is you start over and try to set up the Time Capsule again first...and then, once that is done and the Time Capsule is working correctly on the network....then, try to troubleshoot the separate Time Machine issue.
    If you decide that you want to do this, we'll need some basic information:
    Make and model number of your modem?
    You are using OS X Mavericks (10.9.3), correct?

  • My Macbook air (only 2 months old) has a black screen and I cannot see to get signed on, the keyboard seems to be on as I can see via having put on the Caps key which lights up and also the power cable when connected is at green how do I fix this?

    I have been faced with a Black screen this morning when I have gone to sign in/open my Macbook air this morning.  I can see that the keyboard seems to be on as the caps key when pressed is lighting up as is my charger cable link, however have noticed that the apple logo is not lit up.  Any thoughts?

    Try resetting SMC and NVRAP and then reboot.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    Try booting the Recovery Partition.  Power off, boot and then hold down the Command and R keys.  Is the screen still black?  If so it is not a software problem so take it in for diagnosis and repairs.  Make a Genius Bar reservation http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ or find an Apple Authorized Service Provider https://locate.apple.com/country .
    If you are running Mavericks try upgrading to 10.9.2.  It has a fix for black screen problems.
