Horfrible GREEN STRIP down display. Help!!!

I turned on my I book g4 (owned for sixteen months) and found a bright green strip about one-eigth inch from top to bottom of the display. what gives? do I need a new screen now? No longer under warranty
shows up the worst against any colored or dark graphics background. it is a straight, glowing green line
anyone have any advice
many thanks

Sounds like you have a column of dead pixels.
You can test your LCD using Pixel Check: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11661.
If the line remains stuck on green then chances are the pixels are dead.
Some users report that gently massaging dead pixels can sometimes bring them back to life. I'd proceed very carefully, however, considering there's a whole line affected. You don't want to risk further damage.

  • Stripes down the center of pictures when I print them

    When I print 4 pictures on a page, I get a stripe down the center of the bottom two pictures  the material printed on the stripe is from the right hand side of the picture.  One stripe (lower left picture) is 3/8" wide; the stripe on lower right is only 1/8" wide.  This effectively ruins the print.  It started about 3 weeks ago.  Today I printed pictures again and it's still there.  I just installed both black and colored ink.

    Hi @teleklier , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see you are having issues printing pictures. I'd like to help!
    Does this issue occur when making a copy?
    I'd recommend removing the ink cartridges, and performing a power reset.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would also suggest downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Quality Issues and Green Strip at Right of Frame in Comp. 3.5

    I just upgraded to Compressor 3.5 with my upgrade of FCS which includes FCP 7 (I guess this is FCS 3 even though the upgrade box doesn't say so). The quality of Compressor's outputs using the same settings is noticeably inferior to the previous versions of Compressor in the FCS releases that included FCP 5 and FCP 6. I also have this green stripe that appears at the extreme right edge of the frame.
    I mostly do h.264 compressions for streaming. In previous versions of Compressor included with FCS 5 and FCS 6, Compressor made incredibly good quality compressions when set to a restriction of 300 kbps for a 500 x 282, 16.9 screen size using the 'best quality' multi-pass encoding setting. In version 3.5 of Compressor, the quality, using the same settings, is absolute crud and I have this green stripe appearing on the extreme right edge of the frame.
    My original source content is usually HDV 1080i60. The problem with my Compressor outputs w/ the green stripe is consistent, however, with footage I've been working with in Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)24p from a Red camera.
    Has anyone else experienced this green stripe issue and know a solution? I'd also appreciate any suggestions on how to improve the output quality when compressing in h.264.
    Also, has anyone gone back to the previous version of Compressor included with FCP 6 (sorry, I don't know what version of Compressor was included w/ FCP 6)? If so, does it play nicely with FCP 7?

    I may have just answered my own question with the green stripe artifact issue in Compressor 3.50. Thought I'd share it to see if it helps anyone else.
    A true 16:9 frame means the height of the frame is 0.5625% of the length (9 / 16 = .5625). I used to compress material with a frame size of 500 X 282. Although this wasn't a true 16:9 frame, the difference didn't create noticeable distortion and previous versions of Compressor handled it ok. In 3.5 this deviation appears to create strange artifacts, in my experience, on the right edge of the screen in the form of a solid green stripe. When I moved my frame size to 512 x 288, the green stripe artifact went away. 288 / 512 = .5625, which is a true 16:9 frame.
    I have no idea if this is just a coincidence or a solution. These are the results of what 30 min. of testing yielded. Perhaps it will be helpful to others in dealing w/ the strange line artifacts on the edges of frames.

  • The green drop down bar for tracker blocking disappeared when Firefox updated today, how do I get it back?

    This feature that helps to block ad and social network tracking appeared on the last update, it had a green drop down where I could then get a screen showing the number of tracking that are blocked, not blocked and could block the ones that weren't. Today when Firefox updated it disappeared. I do have the TrackerBlock addon installed, but I found the drop down helpful and would like to get it back.

    Sometimes an icon will get removed from the toolbar by another extension. Could you check the Customize dialog to see whether the missing icon is in there? This article has the steps: [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]].

    150:30 means the licensing failed. Photoshop can't be moved like other programs from another drive or from backup.
    I would suggest a reinstall to fix it. Anytime you move Photoshop from from drive to another, it breaks licensing. A install is the quickest way. to fix it.
    When you are done with the install, apply all CS4 updates.  Product updates

  • Where should the Green Tick get displayed in digitally signed pdf files in whom the Signature has been validated ?

    I have Windows 7 & Adobe 11 installed on my P.C (Apart from other Software) . Recently I downloaded Digitally Signed .pdf files & validated the Signature with Trust Certificates . However , the Green Tick Mark is coming on the left-hand side of a blue panel situated in-between the menu bar & the document . Shouldn't it be coming at the bottom right side of the document (Just above the name of the signatory) ? Is there anyway I can get the green tick to display at the bottom right side of the document or is this just the way the green tick gets displayed in current versions of adobe reader ?
    This is the way it gets displayed on the top - left portion of the screen :
    However , it does not get displayed in the below manner :

    First of all, you need an app on the iPad that can read those files that you want to transfer. Adobe Reader and iBooks are two free apps that will read PDF files. Adobe Reader is much more robust than iBooks as it offers so many more features like renaming files, creating folders, annotating, highlights, etc.
    Download Adobe Reader in the App Store. Then read this about file sharing with iTunes.
    iOS: About File Sharing - Support - Apple
    There are other ways to get files to the iPad, like email, DropBox and some other apps that let you mount your iPad like a flash drive.

  • My iPad suddenly started to show crazy colors.  I turned it off and had to use the two button trick to turn it back on.  Now it shows only green stripes for a few seconds and goes back to sleep.

    My iPad suddenly started to show crazy colors.  I turned it off.  It would not reboot until I used the two-button reboot.  Now it shows only green stripes.  only for a few seconds and goes back to sleep.  HELP!

    Standard troubleshooting...
    1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider.  Slide to power off.  Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
    2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider if, it comes up. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    3. Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
    - Press the red to delete all apps from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
    5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • White stripe down MBA screen?

    I sat down to update the MBA to 10.5.6 yesterday and rebooted before I started (never hurts) - while on some of the splash screens (before login) there appeared a flickering white stripe down the display about an inch wide, just to the left of center. Looked to me like a set of vertical pixel drivers stuck in the ON state. Went away before the login, and didn't come back during the update, but happened again in the auto reboot after the update.
    I tried searching the forum, but didn't see anything like this, although there were some posts about thin white stripes. Am I having a unique problem, or is this something already known about? I'm sure I would have heard from my wife, the normal user, if that had happened during regular use, so maybe it's a boot up issue?
    Thanks!

    It show the uniformity of the display best if the display is showing with 50% gray. If you have a faint stripe on the display, it might show up. Just create a jpeg file that only contains 50% gray, and use preview to do a slideshow at full screen. If you can't see anything, your MBA should be fine.

  • HT201406 Ipod has orange stripes down the screen. SICK OF THE BS.

    So I literally feel like I am about to hurl out of frustration. My Ipod 4 maybe 5, or 6 I really dont know, has been fine for about a year. Then one day I turn it on, the screen becomes unresponsive within 5 seconds of use and there are very very faint orange stripes down the background of the screen. I will say that my annoying brothers of mine cracked the screen once about 8 months ago, but it has been working perfectly even since then until about a month ago. I have tried to restore through itunes because it is obviously impossible to do it on the ipod itself, but OF COURSE I cant even find the freaking summary button which apparently leads to restore on 11.3.1. I'm at wits-end with this thing, and am ready for it to be FIXED, NOT REPLACED. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE someone help me. Its IRRITATING and I am really just done with being frustrated.

    Myself as well. I briefly talked to Apple phone support, but they didn't acknowledge the disrepency and proceeded to have me re-install Compressor (even though I was using a clean install of both the OS and Final Cut Suite). Of course, there was no change. It does bother me in that this may be an issue that affects other functions I haven't yet uncovered. I expect see this problem escalate as time goes on.
    One rather humorous anecdote: The support rep wanted to determine if I had the minimum hardware required to run Final Cut Suite. When I told him I had just purchased a 12 core Mac Pro, he still went through the minimum required hardware list. One would think an Apple rep would know this system would more than cover the minimum requirements without going through a component checklist.

    Hi Everyone....I figured it out.  Strangely, although I had NEVER used Liquify in PS CC 2014....I just realized that in Liquify Advanced Mode that the "SHOW MASK" option was on by default!  I unchecked SHOW MASK.  Everything is OK. Whew!  Tks!
