Help, Screen shakes, lines everywhere

My screen shakes and has lines making the laptop unusable on and off all day. I must tilt the screen or tap the top of the screen to make it stop. I'm also experiencing a gray half screen when the computer wakes up from sleep. Thanks for any help you can provide!

it sounds like there might be a loose connection in your display.
if it's easily reproduced, take it in to your local apple store and have it checked out and repaired.

    Are the lines like psychedelic herringbone?  If yes, I had that happen once, it was something serious, like the
    Logic board. The good news is that it was fixed without any loss of data on the hard drive. Take it in to have Apple look at it ASAP.  I took it to TekServe at the time, they are very nice about preserving your data and user library when possible.
    Good luck and don't panic.

  • IMac 17' screen - has lines and is freezing help!

    I have a IMac 17' - My screen has lines across it and sometimes a triangle- If for some reason I'm able to get it to work past the users choice screen, it freezes within mins. Does anyone know how to fix or what the issue might be?

    It's probably a bad video card or bad caps (the little soda cans) which are either swollen or leaking.  If your machine isn't an iSight, take the back off and inspect the caps.

  • My Macbook Pro's navigation is not smooth and screen shakes after after i open folders

    I just bought my macbook pro 15" and i am experiencing some problems
    For example,
    i put safari or any application to full screen. So whenever i move my curser to the top of the screen to i can activate the bar (File - Edit - View - .. etc) It doesn't show and go down smoothly
    Whenever I navigate to the right and left with my three fingers, its never smooth ... It keeps breaking and become slow
    When I scroll to open my notification center its not smooth
    Sometimes the screen shakes when i open an application or do certain things
    I guess its a software problem. Please help me find a solution because its getting really frustrating, especially that i just bought it
    Thank you a lot

  • Fetch screen fields Line item wise

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement where i've to display some popup messages based on some conditions in MIGO transaction when POST button is clicked.
    For that i have done certain changes in a BAdI IF_EX_MB_MIGO_BADI~POST_DOCUMENT .
    But i require to read the screen field for G/L account ie GOITEM-KONTO of screen number 0345.
    the G/L account can be accessed thru internal table IT_MSEG-SAKTO in the method, but the problem is the screen field has been left blank and when POST is clicked, by the time this BAdi is reached, the value is filled. And i need to add few codes only when the screen field has been left blank.
    I found out FM - DYNP_VALUES_READ . But this reads only header screen data, so i'm unable to retrieve the line item wise G/L account screen values.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Ateet

    Hi Petr,
    I dont think u read the question properly.
    The problem is the screen field has been left blank and when POST is clicked, by the time that BAdi is reached, the value is filled. And requirement is to execute some part of code only when the screen field for G/L account is left blank/not blank. I want screen field value , not the value which is in IT_MSEG.
    While giving inputs in MIGO screen it is blank but by the time it reaches the BAdI where i've written the code its getting filled. I want the values from screen just before it gets filled.
    I was hoping to find some FM like DYNP_VALUES_READ which fetches screen elements line item wise too.
    I think i will have to try n search a different BAdI where i can get the screen values b4 updation.
    Regards,
    Ateet

  • Why is my MacBook Pro **crashing** changing to a blue screen with lines or distorted screen when I open logic or Ableton Live

    Why is my MacBook Pro **crashing** changing to a blue screen with lines or distorted screen when I open logic or Ableton Live. Then I have to restart by long pressing the power button. Can somebody plz help me

    What you describe sounds like a hardware issue. Unfortunately, you'll need to get that checked out by Apple. If you have an Apple Store near you, make an appointment with the Genius Bar and take the machine in for evaluation.

  • My iPod 4th generation screen shakes back and forth every once in a while and the touch screen stops working. Then I have to hit the sleep button on and off to make it work

    My iPod touch 4th generation screen shakes back and forth every once in a while and won't let me use the touch screen. I have restored it at least 5 times to factory setting and it is still happening. The only way to stop it is to hit the sleep button off and then on again. It happens about once every 5 minutes. Please help.

    If you successfully (completed all steps without errors) restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that points to a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Why is my Macbook Pro suddenly and constantly shutting down/crashing on me and giving me a blacked out or blued out screen with lines?  Seems like a total system failure is happening?

    Macbook Pro- shortly after upgrading to free software upgrade to Mavericks- 10.9.5-
    has suddenly been freezing up, but went more directly to 'shutting down,'  CRASHING on its own.  Most of the time, if I'm even able to successfully get the laptop turned back on, it only stays up/on for a few moments before repeating the failure.   The failure is often accompanied with the monitor going 'blank,' or most typically either 'blacking out,' or going blue/green or grey screen with lines or grids all over the monitor.  All Desktop visibility, functions or applications in process disappears.  This has caused repetetive 'forced shut downs,' which I never usually do, unless prompted to because I have no choice like this.... Or as I said, the computer itself will just shut down and turn off by itself.... Can anyone tell me what this issue is, and I'm pretty sure other Mac users have seen this exact thing I'm describing happening on their laptops, with their systems or on their monitors.  Someone please explain or point me in the right direction... as naturally my laptop just went out of warranty as well.... And I don't know if this means the entire system is basically corrupted, dying/dead... and or if it is a monitor issue, a hardware issue, software issue or if there is anything that can be done to restore, repair it, etc.?   Also another thing I have noticed ever since getting this laptop- (few years old now...) is that it runs VERY HOT... has in fact burned my lap /skin many times... and seems like the fan or internal operating systems/functions are also perhaps not functioning properly.  Can this also be causing the problem?  Or is it a corruption or virus of some kind? etc.   Thank you.

  • I dropped my iphone 4s and the screen quickly went to stripes then to black. After pressing buttons the next day, the phone works, but the charge was totally depleted and the screen shakes. Is there a fix for this?

    I dropped my iphone 4s (it had an otterbox-thick case on it at the time of drop) last night and the screen quickly went to different colored stripes then to black. The phone wouldn't work. This morning, I was pressing all the buttons I could-at the same time and the phone turned on with the battery completely depleted. At the time of the drop the phone had 98% charge. I plugged the phone in and began charging, however, the screen shakes. Is there a fix for the shaking of the screen? The phone works otherwise. Unfortunately, I don't have warranty on it and have only had the phone since November.

    Obviously your phone was damaged by the fall. Take it in for evaluation, servicing and/or replacement at an Apple store or authorized service provider.
    Since it is out of warranty you will, most likely, have to pay.

  • Lack of help screens in apps

    I have downloaded several apps from the ovi store for my C6-01. Many of the apps have no "help" screens or instructions on how to use them. A case in point - I downloaded the CNN app. It is a great app, but I couldn't figure out how to play videos. Videos just wouldn't play.  It would be so easy to have a "help" screen that would tell you how to do this. I am not singling out CNN.  Many of the apps posted on the ovi store suffer from the same drawbacks.  It's just that this was the latest one I downloaded.
    Well, I'm not stupid (at least I don't think so).  I like to try to figure things out if I can. I discovered that the videos will play if I change the settings within the app. I have the phone settings to use wi-fi only, but CNN defaults to my cell phone provider data to play videos.
    What other unknown surprises lurk in some of these apps?
    I think Nokia should require any app posted on the ovi store site have a "help" screen or some kind of a "how to" screen.

  • How to Restrict Master data in value help screen for a user???URGENT

    Hello Gurus,
    I have a requirement.When a authorized user logins to view the report, he should see only list of customers assigned to that user in the value help screen, instead of displaying whole master data.and the data is displayed perfectly fine for the authorized sales rep. By default, Value help screen displaying all the customer numbers.
    How can I restrict in the value help screen?
    Any help appreciated with points.
    Regards,
    PNK

    Hi Chandran,
                I got that Idea too. I created a authorized customer, I created a authorized Object and assigned to a role.But in the role, when I am changing the object to generate profile, it is asking to select list of customers from the customer table.If the customers are always constant then this would work,  but in my scenario, customers for the sales rep changes over time and when I ever reps open the query, they should see updated list of customers assigned to them only, as we update the master data everyday from source system and that shud reflect in the value help.
    I am trying User Exit to achieve this, but I am not getting proper ideas how to do this.
    Any Help on this issue with user exit code???
    Thanks in Advance
    regards,
    PNK
