GREEN SPOTS ON MY SCREEN

Can anyone shead light on this. I have a ATI X800 card in my system in the pass few days my screen started filling with green spots of and on. When I drag an open app from screen to sceen it gets worst it turns different colors. Can anyone help Power Mac G5 Dual 2.0

Is this video you are editing in FCP or everything on your screen? If it is only video, is it only one tape or everything?
Has the cooling fan on your video card failed? Check to see if it is running... (I've had one fail and over-heat). If that's the case, you can buy a new fan for 10 or 15 dollars from Geeks dot com or other place of your choice and with relatively few skills replace the dead fan.
If the card is permanently damaged, you could be looking at a new card .. meaning bigger dollars. And, unfortunately, the X800 is getting very hard to find.

  • Satellite A660-O7R 3D - Green spots/smears on the screen

    I updated all the drivers and software to enable 3D vision following the instructions on the support pages. Recently I noted when using windows media center, corel winDVD and starcraft 2 that there are lots of green spots scattered around the screen. this is worse in media center, when watching TV or if I'm in the menu there are green/purple smears which are all along the outlines of background graphics.
    in the TV mode these move along with the video, they are all along the outlines of people and objects while if I'm in the windows media center menu, then they are found along the edges of those moving graphics. they seem to freeze in place if I disable all the animations. I tried reinstalling the nvidia drivers off the support pages but it made it worse as the green spots started appearing on the wallpaper and in the microsoft office programs as well.
    So I ended up doing a system restore to a point a full month back..it all worked fine for an hour after that but the same spots and smears started appearing again. the problem from what I've seen so far appears progressive rather than sudden. all 3 software I've mentioned before are only programs I have which support 3D and also used very often
    Please can someone help? I love this machine, really hate to have to return it back to the shop

    Hi
    >So I ended up doing a system restore to a point a full month back..it all worked fine for an hour after that but the same spots and smears started appearing again.
    So it look its related more to the software as to the hardware problem but of course it could be related to graphic card as well. So nothing is impossibleyou know
    Did you notice this only using the 3D feature?
    If yes then the graphic card driver might cause this and as you said the usage of the driver from nvidia page made it worse so possibly its driver issue
    But to be honest I didnt find any similar issues in the forum so its really hard to say what could cause this.

  • Rented movies have floating green square spots all over screen

    We have a new Sony KDL-52W4100 connected to our v1 Apple TV via HDMI at 1080p. Cable images std and HD look great, DVD and Blueray look great, all functions of Apple TV (photos, intro, menus) look great. Rented TV shows and movies have large floating green squares all over screen. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    This sounds like the file is either corrupt or there is an issue with output from the tv. Firstly, I wasn't aware that tv v 1 software supported 1080p, I suspect you are either running v 2 software or you don't have 1080p as an output resolution.
    I doubt all your rented movies have become corrupt so I'd be looking at your HDMI connection as the source of your problem, have you tried another cable, is it seated properly. You should also be aware that 1080p requirers a category 2 HDMI cable (although in many cases category 1 does suffice)

  • Iphone 4 showing&taking pictures with Blue/Green Spot in the Middle

    I have the blue/green spot in the middle of the screen while and after taking the photo especially on white ground/wall or paper.
    Another thing is that My iPhone 4 back camera takes very yellow photos in artificial light.
    So Apple should immediatelly fix this issue. Even I am not able to understand why Apple did not test such basic possible problems.
    As you can see from the internet there are many iphone 4 owners and increasing suffering because of this problem.
    I wonder how many phones returned to Apple Stores everyday!!!

    Dear all,
    As a image scientist, I think iphone 4 camera image quality is very good. It keep most of the details with the cost of noise, but I prefer this style. Most important is iphone 4 color reproduction is very saturated, it's pleasing.
    However, green spot problem always annoys me.
    I made an app for this problem. It can perfectly correct this problem.
    You can see lots of images of green spot on real scenes. Of course there're images after corrections.

  • My ipod touch 4g, has a white spot on the screen when you turn it on, what is that and how do I fix it?

    When you turn the ipod on, there is a noticeable white spot on the screen/display. Once all the apps come on you can't see it, but when it starts up you can.

    From you descriptionis is hard to tell if it a atain on the outside of the screen or just what.  Have you tried cleaning the screeen as said in the users guide:
    Cleaning iPod touch
    Clean iPod touch immediately if it comes in contact with any contaminants that may cause stains,
    such as ink, dyes, makeup, dirt, food, oils, or lotions. To clean iPod touch, disconnect all cables and
    turn off iPod touch (press and hold the On/Off button, then slide the onscreen slider). Then use a
    soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don’t use window cleaners,
    household cleaners, compressed air, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to
    clean iPod touch. Rubbing the screen with an abrasive material may scratch the glass.
    For more information about handling iPod touch, see the iPod touch Important Product Information
    Guide at www.apple.com/support/manuals/ipodtouch.

  • My MacPro 10.6.8 has a thin green line on the screen.

    My MacPro is just over a year old now and I have a thin green line on the screen. I hooked it up to my TV and on the second window (the TV) the green line wasn't there. Whats the issue? How do I fix it?

    From what you are saying, sounds like a line of pixels out on the display.
    Did the TV use the same connector on the computer? If not, swap the display with the TV. If you still have the line, it is one of the items that you swapped across.
    Have you tried connecting the display to another computer? If so, is the line still there?
    What kind of display is it? Can you swap the data cable and try a different cable, could be a cable issue.
    Any adapters in use? If so, try swapping those to rule them out as a problem.
    Did the TV use the same connector on the computer? If not, swap the display with the TV. If you still have the line, it is one of the items that you swapped across.

  • Macbook Pro Retina Display, a rough spot on the screen.!!!

    I bought my Macbook Pro (Retina Display) from a Authorised Reseller in Malidves. Its been 3 weeks since i've bought it. Few days back i noticed a white spot on the screen. I tried to wipe the spot off with the cleaning cloth. to my surprise, the spot didn't fade. The spot was rough to touch. Any ideas what it might be???

    Take it back to the reseller.  Your warranty should cover that problem.
    Ciao.

  • I have an Intel based iMac that has just developed two small spots on the screen. One 1/8" circle at bottom and a tiny circle at top.  The fading on and off light isn't working anymore either.  Does anyone know anything about this?

    I have an Intel based iMac that has just developed two small spots on the screen - they look light brighter spots on the screen. One 1/8" circle at bottom right and a tiny circle at top right.  The fading on and off light on area surrounding the screen isn't working anymore either.  Has anyone else had similar problems?  Any solutions?  Thanks!

    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Bright white spots on the screen?

    Hey guys, my iPhone has developed these two bright white spots on the screen. I don't think it's a hardware problem because they are not there for every application. But I have tried restarting it, completely resetting it, etc with no success. The problem is I bought in July 2007 so my warranty is up. Am I screwed?

    You can also look at LCD replacement from outside repair companies like iResQ.com. If you're not sure what's going on with the spots, you can also get a diagnosis within 24 hours from them before you decide to repair or resell. Replacement can be had for $130, back to you the day after receiving your order. Also, their techs are Apple-certified. Check it out if you're still having problems:

  • Two black spot in the screen

    Hello!
    I don't know what to do anymore!
    I have a Ipod video 30g. It has only 2 weeks old. I was very happy but now it does not turn on anymore. And there is 2 black spot on the screen. I do not know what to do, and I cannot talk to anyone. This website is very confusing.
    Can anyone help me? I am in Brazil Sao Paulo.
    Thanks

    I would set an appointment up at a local Apple Store and have them find out what it is.
    Thanks,

  • How do I get rid of an  oval dark spot showing on screen?

    A dark sport showed up in the upper right hand corner, but does not move when I rotate the unit. It seems to be getting larger. How do I get rid of it.

    If I understand the concept, the screen shot will show the spot when the screen is rotated in the same location as on the screen in normal vertical position. On mine the spot does not show on the screen shot, but remains in the same location (upper right hand corner) at all times.
    Are you saying the screen is going bad and needs to be replaced?

  • Big Green spot in center of both the front and rear camera's pictures

    My new iPhone 4 has a big green spot in pictures I take. It is visible on the LCD when framing the picture and also shows up in the saved picture after its taken. It is most noticeable when there is a light colored background. Restoring has no effect and the odds that both sensors are bad seem unlikely to me.
    Also, I did some googling and found that this is also an issue with other camera phones.

    Update: Did more testing and it seems like the issue is being caused by the compact fluorescent lights I use in my house. Taking pictures of my CCFL backlit monitor also exhibits these same issues. Can anyone else experiment with this and tell me if my problem is an isolated one or a general limitation of the iPhone's two camera sensors.
    Note: I tested the same situations with my 3GS wish iOS 4 installed and found that it does not share these same issues as my iPhone 4.
    Here is a link to a MacRumors forum posting (with pictures) from someone else with the same issues.

    Ardha,
    Welcome to the forum.  White spots on the LCD, typically a bright white spot most clearly seen against a white background like the forum, or google home page, is caused by pressure damage - pressure applied to back of the LCD panel. 
    Since you indicated that you have only had the system 1 day, unless you are aware of something that happened while in your care, I can only guess that the damage was done during transport or manufacturing.  I would recommend you contact your point of purchase and ask to exchange the unit.  I would also try to power up and inspect the new system immediately to make sure all is well.
    Please also see my PM - I would like you to take a pic of the spot and email to me if possible.  While random things happen, I'd like us to take a look at this. 
    Best regards,
    Mark
