Having just installed Firefox my screen has gone dark. Can I brighten the screen or not use it as my main Browser?

Having just installed Firefox for the 1st time my screen has gone dark. I am on a MAC which also has Safari on it. I have made the Firefox the main Browser. Can I make my screen brighter or should I take off Firefox.

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. From the troubleshooting you performed and the hotness I suspect a hardware proboem.

Ibook screen has gone dark

I'm helping a friend with a G4 i-book, about 3 years old I think. Today, while working on it, the screen went black. I think it may have gone to sleep but I cannot know for sure. I pressed the F2 key checking to see if he had somehow turned down the brightness but no change. I took it to the window and can see the computer is awake. Using the light, and turning the laptop at a side angle, I can see folders, etc. I went to the dock and found system preferences and clicked on display. The brightness was about half way so I turned it up but the screen stayed just as dark, almost impossoble to see anything. We shut it down and restarted it and while I can see it is on and awake, the screen is so dark you cannot possibly use it or see what is there without holding it up to light with an odd angle.
I did do a search by many of the posts were about flickering or flashing dark. His screen has gone dark and while I can see things if I 'peer' carefully, the screen is black all the time.
Any suggestions?

Hey Michelle,
Most certainly this is a inverter cable issue. Usually they open up near the hinge point. I've repaired two that this happened to. I have also seen two that shorted to ground and took out a tiny fuse on the logic board so after I repaired the short I had to bridge the fuse w/ a fuse link.
Try moving the display up and down while it's on. If it comes on it's most certainly that cable.

OfficeJet Printer Pro 8620 - screen has gone dark!

I have an OfficeJet Pro 8620. Although it's still able to print, the screen has gone dark so I'm not able to fax or scan any documents.
Need help ASAP, please!
Naidia

Hey @Naidia,
Thanks for posting in the HP Support Forum. I would like to assist you with your HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer's issue.
Just to clarify, is it that your printer display is too dark to easily navigate through the menu items, or is it completely black and non-responsive (save for the printing and faxing functionality you mentioned)?
The first thing I suggest is to plug the printer into the wall outlet directly if it is currently in a power surge protector or extension cord. This may sound silly but this will ensure the printer is getting full power and may eliminate any unnecessary troubleshooting. If the printer is no longer getting full power from the power surge or extension cord it may give false errors, have poor connection, paper feed issues and quality issues.
Secondly, I recommending that you perform a 'hard reset':
Reset the printer
Press the Power button () to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button () to turn it on.
Please let me know a little more about your printer's issue if these basic steps don't restore your display's regular functionality and visibility.
Thank you!

My 27inch i Mac screen has gone darker, like a colour burn but also a bit washed out. Can anyone advise what may be wrong before I take it for repair?

My 27inch i Mac screen has gone darker all of a sudden. It's almost like a colour Burn and it's also washed out. Can anyone advise what the problem may be before I take it for repair?

Check the settings in System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing > Display.
It's possible to alter some of those settings accidently by hitting the wrong key combinations.

Ipod mini screen has gone dark, and when backlight goes on v

Ipod mini screen has gone dark, and when backlight goes on the centre part with writing etc is almost black with light around edge. will this go? do i need to send it back?

Maybe your backlight is burning out? That's what I would think when the center is black but the edges have light. I'm not sure if a reset would fix the backlight but you can try (hold the menu and center buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo and then release). If I were I'd send it back to Apple but do you know if you are still under warranty? You should be if you've had your iPod less than a year.

I dropped my iphone 3gs and the screen has gone blank now showing a white screen with no icons can anyone advise me how to fix it?

I dropped my iphone 3gs and the screen has gone blank now showing a white screen with no icons can anyone advise me how to fix it?

Tim is correct.
But, first step with 3GS white screen and most iPhone problems is Reset, hold both home and power buttons until iPhone begins to restart itself, usually about 10 seconds of holding both buttons. If still white screen.
Next step would be Restore the iPhone Firmware with iTunes on your computer. If still white screen.
Next step would be to follow Tim's advice, if you had not already.

Problem solved - settings changed

My buttons and screen work, but I can't activate the screen to see what I'm doing. Any idea what is wrong?

My buttons and screen work, but I can't activate the screen to see what I'm doing. This is after water damage. Any idea what is wrong? I'm not sure what to fix..
I know the screen works because when it first turned on I saw the apple logo and then the screen. If I hold the home and power button, I see the apple logo when it resets. Then it goes blank again.
I can hear when I get a call and pick up, and I can stop the sound and/or decline the call with the power button and side buttons. It also still vibrates. I'm confused - if the screen works, the buttons work, it vibrates, makes sound, and the touchscreen feature also works... what is wrong for me to fix? Why can't I see anything?!
I appreciate any help anybody has to offer!!!

I apologize for the confusion. This was literally the only option on Apple's "Contact Us" section that I was able to access. I assumed that Apple's clear intent to have me go here instead of speaking with someone in live time, and the fact this is on the Apple website, meant I could get some advice... Both over the phone and online they require information I need to see my screen to provide so those are not options. I tried to bypass this when calling through Skype. Some lady who didn't know what was going on, who I waited a good while to speak with, put me on hold; I gave up after 30minutes of waiting to speak to somebody again.
I've stumbled upon a few tricks to help me get through this problem, but I'm at a loss. I need this phone to work until late December. I need more tricks. So yes, it's worth understanding. Knowing what is going on will let me Google it and work with it, if nobody here is willing to help...
And yes, it IS a glitchy phone. It has been a glitchy phone for a long time. Long before this. But completely unrelated issues. I was assuming this wasn't just a glitch but something maybe somebody could help me understand.

Having just installed Firefox, I have a start page but not a home page.

I've just installed Firefox. When I start it from the desktop icon, I get a start page but cannot get to then Firefox home page. I have no Firefox button at top left.
How do I get the home page?

The home button just tales me to the start page and I don't know how to get the actual home page.
On the illustrations in the info pack, an orange Firefox button is shown in the top left. I can't get that either.

My IPod has gone quiet and part of the screen doesn't show anymore.

My purse fell with my IPod in it yesterday and now most of the screen has gone blank although the backlight covers the whole screen. I can scroll down and choose songs, which do come up, but they don't actually play. So that means the sound is shot too.
It is just the middle 2 1/2 lines that show. No battery icon and no track progress line. I have tried resetting it and plugging it in, but that does not work.
I have AppleCare and am thinking of taking it in to a local service provider from the list on this site, but am not sure if that will work.
It was originally bought in December 2004 and already replaced once at the end of 2005 because of battery issues. The AppleCare was purchased just after that.
Will it still be possible, do you think, to get it repaired or replaced again?

i bought my ipod last may and a few months after my dog got ahold of it a chewed on the screen. a few weeks after it did that only the bottom left part of the screen would show and itunes wouldn't read my ipod so i could put new music on it but it would let it charge and today it finally read it and i put new music on it but when i disconnected it, it wouldn't turn on and it wouldn't do anything even when i connected it to the computer. i tried to reset it but it won't work. can't find any help on apple support. i don't kno what to do now! can anyone help me??

Since installing Firefox, every move my mouse or cursor makes causes the screen or parts of it to balck out. You just cannot work with it like this. What might the problem be??

As soon as I launch Firefox, parts or all of the screen will go black as if wholly highlighted in black. You cannot see anything or do anything until the screen or the blackening disappears! Typing this report is taking long minutes because I have to wait for blackness to clear between keystrokes!
what might be the cause? And what can I do about it? The older versions of Firefox did not do this. It began when I installed the present version (7.0.1). Though I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, the problem persists!

You may have '''Switched ON Caret Browsing'''. press '''F7 (on Mac: fn + F7)''' to toggle '''Caret Browsing ON/OFF'''
* click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Options''' -> Advanced -> General -> remove
Checkmark from '''Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages'''

Check and tell if its working.

I just installed Mozilla Firefox 3.6. This is the first time have have installed Firefox. My problem is I no longer have the screen which lists which plugins need updating and researching. How can I find out which plugins need updating or researching?

After installation it told me to update or research several plugins. I updated Silverlight and JAVA. I was instructed to shut down and restart my computer to test the JAVA installation. I did this and the installation is fine. At this point I no longer had the screen with the list of plugins that need updating or researching.

THis is probably the page you saw.

You can also access it from the Firefox menu by clicking "Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins" and then clicking the Find Updates button at the bottom.

TS3274 My iPad screen has gone dark, but when I use internet it goes light please advise

My iPad screen as gone. Funny greeny colour, everything including pictures are that colour, but when I use the internet it is normal. Please could you help. I've rebooted but no change

Some folks here have reported that giving the back of the iPad a couple of sharp whacks has solved this issue - but you do this at your own risk. Best of luck.

My M500 screen has gone dark!

I am having trouble with my screen. It goes dark almost immediately after turning it on. I get one second of normal screen brightness and then it "goes black". There does not appear to be a way to adjust the contrast -- which is what I think the problem is. Can anyone help me? I've tried resetting it and that hasn't seemed to work.
Thanks,
Kathi Jo

IIRC, you need to press and hold the power button for two seconds. This turns the backlight on/off.

Screen has gone dark blue

it started as green specs and weird resolution, now it's just gone dark blue. No nothing. Am I toast?

Have you tried rebooting? Hold down on the power/sleep button and the home button until the Apple logo appears on the screen? It raises about 10 seconds or so.
If that doesn't work, restore the iPad via iTunes on your computer.
I dont know what else to try other than restoring the device if rebooting doesn't work.
