Ideapad u410 display and suspend problem

Hello,
My Problem is, that when I close the lid of my ideapad u410 it suspends, but when I open it again it sometimes works as expected, but most of the times the screen is displaced. (Everything is moved about 500 pixels to the right and a bit upwards too.)
For now I have set my laptop to completely shutdown when I close the lid, which works fine, but I would really prefer to get proper suspend working.
I also experienced this displacement once or twice when booting the laptop normally.
this is the output of xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 1368 x 768, current 1368 x 768, maximum 1368 x 768
It's weird because the actual resolution of my screen is 1366x768, and I noticed that when I move my mouse to the left or right border of the display, the screen actually moves these 2 pixels to the left or the right.
This might be a whole other problem, but they could be connected too, I guess.
Info of lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF119M [GeForce 610M] (rev a1)
I am currently using the nouveau driver.
Another problem I noticed, that might or might not be connected to the first two, is that I can't change my tty.
When I press ctrl+alt+Fx the screen just goes blank and I can't even change back to my previous session.
(Usually to get the function keys on an Ideapad u410 it is necessary to press the Fn key, but I changed that bios setting.)
If further information would be helpful, tell me what you would like to know.
Thanks in advance and a nice weekend,
Alfred

So, nobody knows what to do?
Or is it just a problem that can't be fixed?

Display and camera problems... related?

Dear Folks of Apple Support Communities.
Recently i have started to experience a rather disturbing issues with my screen, and that made me remember of the problems with the camera.
I have MBP retina early 2013 and. well, it is known fact that screens on this particular model are not exactly brilliant... The same could be said about the camera, which has simply tuns of blue noise! But the screen was acting pretty Ok for some time now, there always was a minor image retention, but as i had nowhere to fix this, i had to live with it. But recently the screen started to turn GREEN! Yes that emerald shade, almost like cartoon green!!! That happened to it once before, but was not so intense, well at least i was able to see something... But the other day i was completely blown away, when i turned on my mac and i sew bright-bright green screen with absolutely no picture... Why does this happen to a £2000 product i have no clue! Now it has an uneven colour (the bottom corners are blueish, and the sides are somewhat darker).
Is there some way to resolve it? Or should i ask for the screen replacement (and the camera with it as well)?
I will be in Glasgow starting from september, so i will have an Apple store near by... i just don't want this to happen anymore, it is really scary.
Many thanks . Anna.

You should not be having those type of problems on a brand new Mac. Did you call AppleCare about this? If not why not?
You have 90 days of free phone tech support from Apple on top of your one year warranty. Strongly suggest that you use it before you lose it! You already missed your 14 day from the date of purchase to return your MBP for a refund or an exchange.

MBP 13'' Display and Screen Problems.

HELP!
I've posted about this problem before, and I've read all the threads, but my problem is not resolved despite sending my new MBP back to Apple to sort it out. They fitted a new logic board, but it has made no difference. My machine is still under warranty.
The MBP continues to totally freeze when connected to an external projector via the mini port using VGA. The computer screen goes a funny blue-ish color with everything out of focus and the pointer freezes, too. It has also started to make a funny buzzing noise, too. I have to restart the entire machine, which is not very convenient right in the middle of using it. It is an intermittent problem. Sometimes, the machine is working OK for a few days, other days it crashes several times.
I have read that this may be something to do with 32 bit versus 64 bit Kernel start up. Some suggest resetting the PRAM and system manager, but I'm still struggling. Does anyone know what the real issue is? A solution would be great.
By the way, I am resorting to using my old MBP (Nov 2006 15" model) and it works perfectly still, no matter what projector it is connected to. It is frustrating the **** out of me as I bought the 13'' to have more power and RAM and it is easier to lug about the place, but I can't use it as I need to connect it up to various projectors at work.
Any expert out there? I'd really appreciate a solution to this problem. Is it only confined to the MBP 13", or has the 15" got similar problems? From the threads, I can tell this has been a big issue for people using their computers in conjunction with a projector.

U410 display and system shut down way too fast when inactive

Hey guys,
the display of my u410 shuts down when I am afk for more more or less one minute and shortly after the system goes into energy saving mode (don't know how to say that in English, its the same thing that happens, when I close the lid).
Due to my energy management settings this shouldn't happen for at least 5 minutes after last action in battery mode and not at all in plugged-in mode and it still does.
When watching a film it doesn't happen but sometimes while watching a youtube video on full screen, and all the time when not on full screen.
It also happens when I'm downloading stuff and clearly don't want to sit in front of the laptop for over an hour moving the mouse every now and then just to make sure it doesn't turn itself off, because then the download gets interrupted.
Would be awesome if somebody could give me a quick hint how to fix this!!!

Display and Boot Problem with MSI K9NGM2

I recently purchased a system:
- AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200 Core Duo
- MSI K9NGM2
- 1 GB Kingston RAM
- 320 GB Sata seagate
- Sony DVD RW
- 450 Watts Power Supply
The very first day I started having problems with my system. Sometimes it never showed a display and if it does it was not able to recognise my hard disk. I have to reboot it several times before it does. I think its the computer who decides when to boot and when not to. I got it checked and the vendor says that everything is fine , although he is also not able to respond to my problem. The Sata cabling and the Ram has also been replaced twice but still the problem persists.
Does anyone have any answer to this problem.

Lenovo Ideapad U410: Display not working after sleep and/or restart

Hello all,
I am recently having some inconsistent display issues with my Lenovo U410 laptop i7 1TB with a Windows 8 PRO upgrade (came with windows 7).
When I press the Power Button on my laptop to put it to sleep, the Screen turns black as if it is off, but the Power & Battery LEDs on the front of the laptop remain on, as well as the LED on the power button. However, when I try to wake my laptop, there is no response on the screen (remaining black as if it is off). The internal fan is running, however I receive no feedback when "blindly" trying to input my password.
I've tried to turn the power off and back on to no avail. I've also removed the power source and held the power button for a couple of seconds and that did not solve the issue either. I've tried connecting the laptop to a screen via HDMI (since there is no other AV port on the device), but there was no signal being sent through.
This is an inconsistent issue that began yesterday 6/11/2013. When the laptop is left alone for a little and is turned on again, the display works, but after closing the lid (sleep) or pressing the button, the display fails to turn on upon awakening.
In most recent circumstances, Today (6/12/2013) I was installing a Windows update that required my computer to restart. When the update configured perfectly BEFORE it was restarting, but AFTER the restart, my internal fan began to work, but the display was not on.
Does anybody or Tech support know what may cause this inconsistent behavior? or know any solutions to this issue?

I am facing similar problem - post sleep & sometimes on touchpad event - the screen gets stuck & a strange array of gray screen comes or the existing screen's colors get distorted & the laptop gets stuck.
model - Lenovo U410; 64 Bit; Windows 7 Home basic;, Intel core i5 processor
I have upgraded display drivers but that hasn't changed anything. Any help is appreciated.

Display and performance problems

Many times cannot power up my laptop the power light and charging light is on fan is working but screen is off I try always remove the battery and press power switch 40 seconds after screen is displayed many times I found this complaint I need a reason
and 2nd complaint is sometimes screen is display only half page wallpaper is perfect but open any applications page only half page I need a perfect replay 3rd complaint is computer is too slow

I'll answer your third complaint first. Without knowing exactly what model laptop you have and exactly what you are trying to do with it there is no way for anyone to have any idea why it's slow. Heck, we can't even tell if it's actually slow, or if you are trying to do something that the laptop isn't capable of doing, or at least doing well.
I have yet been unable to find a definitive answer to why they sometimes don't turn on fully. That's why I posted the procedure to get past the problem. Only Toshiba and the other manufacturers know what the actual problem is, and I haven't seen them post the solution for it anywhere. It is a common problem in all brands and types of computers though, not just Toshiba's and not just laptops. Desktops also have this problem. The best theory I've run across on why it happens is static electricity buildup on the main circuit boards of a computer causing the problem. The procedure I outlined above drains all of that buildup from the system allowing it to boot again, If you have that problem on a regular basis you might want to check into the electricity source you plug into. I've noticed that people who live in mobile homes (with metal outside walls( and people who live in homes with aluminum siding tend to have this problem more than people who live elsewhere. I used to have to disconnect the mobile home I lived in from the power grid a couple of times a year to dissipate the static buildup in the building itself otherwise I had static in my telephone, television, and problems booting like you are experiencing,
Since Toshiba support personnel are prohibited from posting in the forums it's doubtful that you'll be able to to get a definitive answer from them without calling them on the telephone and talking to an actual support person. They don't provide actual support any other way. All we have here are end users like yourself doing what they can to help other end users.
Your second issue about only displaying half page has normally been a display driver issue from my experience. Make sure you have the latest display driver for you specific laptop and see if that helps. If that doesn't, you might need to download and install a display driver direct from Intel, MAD/ATI, or nVidia to see if that corrects the problem. Doing that can be tricky and since you didn't bother to identify your specific laptop there is no way for us to know what display chipset you need.
The only other thing that I can think of is that your video subsystem is failing. Either a loose or faulty internal cable, failing display panel, failing display chipset, or some other portion of the subsystem. You could try connecting to an external display the next time you have an issue to see if that works better or not. Otherwise take it to a certified techinician and have it thoroughly checked out.
Also, check the Product Support Link at the top of this page for your specific model. Check the support bulletins for it to see if they list any issues or fixes that might pertain to your situation and model.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Display and Printing Problems

I am using Photoshop CS5 extended on a minimac running 10.7.4. I have the lastest updates from Adobe installed for the Adobe Creative Design Premium Suite 5.5. I am having problems with photos not displaying correcting, but not all the time. This may sound strange. I am working on a project for a client with outside floor samples. The samples have smooth areas along with pitted or valleys patterns in it. When the photo is displayed in photoshop it displays correctly for a time. I can leave the photo up or I can reopen the same file and the valleys and pits that are suppose to be displayed are now reversed and display as mountains or like a relief type of effect and prints that way too. Hopefully someone else has had a similar problem and can help.
This same problem occurs in Bridge CS5. The photos will display correctly for a short time but then the photos are reversed with the all the valleys pattern showing as mountains. I have deleted the cache, but to no avail. If I change to anothe folder go back to the original sometimes this clears the problem but not for long. So what gives?

Thanks Noel for the reply. Hopefully this will help.
This is how the file should look like.
This is how the file usually displays.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tablet PC tx2000 - display and wireless problems

Hey folks. I have an HP tx2000 tablet laptop with a year-from-purchase warranty that expired just last month, and now two serious and potentially debilitating problems have occured. I've spent about four or five hours with the nice people from Livechat, who were patient on the whole and managed to temporarily fix one of the issues.
1) The wireless device cannot be detected - The laptop's wireless card is not being read. This is a big downer for me because I use wireless exclusively at home and work and I really don't want to shell out bucks for a smart card to replace technology on a laptop that is 1 year and 1 month old. The first thing I tried was re-installing Vista. The wireless card was detected and worked just dandy until as soon as I restarted the computer. Then it disappeared from the device manager list. I re-installed a second time and the same thing happened. Livechat directed me to a new BIOS to install, so I installed that, too. The same thing happened. Then Livechat instructed me to remove the HP Wireless Assistant program, and bingo! The wireless worked fine, and through many reboots. For a day and a half. Now it cannot found again.
2) When the laptop enters sleep or hibernation, the display will not 'wake up' again. The fan will hum, the leds will flash, but the display refuses to wake. The only way to solve this is to reboot the computer. This also happens /every time/ I power on the computer cleanly. The display will not activate, no post screen, no system beep a few seconds afterwards. The only solution is to hold the power slider down until the system does a hard shut down, and then click it again to turn the computer back on. This usually works, though sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries.
The Livechat solution was to update my video drivers, and they sent me a nice handy nvidia update. Upon install restart, the computer behaved normally, but once I restarted again (After wrapping up the marathon Livechat session at 5 in the morning) the blank-screen problem occured. I also tried to install the latest drivers from the nvidia website (which were updated from the ones HP gave me), to no effect.
I've read about both of these problems on various internet boards; wireless failure seems to be a widespread thing with Pavilions and the chipset, though this is a rather unique case in that reinstalling does allow the system to immediately 'find' it and it works fine, and HP Livechat provided me with a working solution where the wireless ran for a day and a half and through ten or twelve power ups/power downs. The screen problem, however, seems very common and is frustrating to the extreme for myself and several others. Many hypothesize it involves the tablet technology. My previous laptop was a Dell Inspiron with a large, 2" diameter hole burned into the screen, and Dell Support wouldn't even talk to me even though they had a uniquely extended warranty for what was a major manufacturing problem. Too bad, I fell short of the 3-year warranty, and they would just shuttle me to a pay-for service as soon as I gave them my tags. I've lost all faith in Dell products as a result. HP, in contrast, has been very civil through the Livechat, and I read up on some of these forums.. it looks as if people know what they're doing here. I don't want to throw away more money on another laptop, and the tablet functions are the bomb. I just want a working laptop.
Cheers,
This question was solved.

Nice, only took 'em 12 minutes to censor my post and remove mention of a certain web site.
To the Hewlett-Packard employees here, how does it feel to have to constantly cull posts on this particular issue day-in and day-out? I think that you guys have a better scope of this manufacturing problem and just how many people it is affecting. Certainly you know how mad they are. I do think your conduct has been fairly civil, but I find it absurd that as representatives of this company you continue to ignore the mounting evidence that we all have bad GPU-equipped laptops.
Then again, you probably can't do much about it, and I'm sure nobody above you is willing to consider the issue at hand and release a public response. I am confident that this arm of HP is ignoring their customers just as much as the other echelons I have visited in my quest to get a free repair.
http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/globalcitizenship/ethics/
From the above, 'Business Ethics' by HP:
'We are passionate about customers; (Sure are!)
We have trust and respect for individuals; (I don't see the respect part, and we no longer hold trust for you.)
We perform at a high level of achievement and contribution; (If achievement == making money by charging repairs to manufactured-defective laptops.)
We act with speed and agility; (On ignoring, buffeting, delaying, and downright covering up this entire mess)
We deliver meaningful innovation;
We achieve our results through teamwork; and
We conduct our business with uncompromising integrity. (Yeah, you sure haven't compromised with the THOUSANDS of PISSED OFF CUSTOMERS in this mess!)
At HP we want to be a company that is known for its leadership in corporate ethics and responsibility. A company where employees are proud to work, and customers, partners and suppliers want to do business with.'
I think HP is irresponsible not to re-address the issue of machines covered by the LWSE. I cannot say anything about corporate ethics here; all it translates into is finger-point-who-started-the-problem. As a customer, I no longer want to do business with HP. I don't know much about their partners or suppliers' feelings on this issue.
However, to the censors:
Is this a company in which you are proud to do the sort of work you do here?

BT Cloud Display and Download Problems

Well I took the plunge and have started to upload my digital photos. I have to use the web upload option rather than backup as the original files are stored on my mybooklive NAS.
Having created 120 folders and 3200 photos (10% of my 50GB allowance apparently), the system has become painfully slow to browse, but I have 2 particular problems:
1) When browsing files, not all images are displayed. This happens in both full view of the images and in thumbnail view. This is primarily for backup rather than for viewing online so whilst not ideal that they don't display, at least I know the files are stored online and therefore backed up. But how do I know if these files actually uploaded correctly, Maybe they are corrupt so I might not have a back up after all.
One way to check, or so I thought, was to download the offending files to check them. This led to problem number 2.
2) I don't seem to be able to download files. Selecting files then clicking the download option from the ... menu doesn't seem to do anything. Using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+D gives me a message that files are downloading but other than that it doesn't actually seem to perform a download. I have no idea where it downloads the files too as there is no option to choose and they don't appear in my default download folder.
Can anyone offer any advice on these 2 issues?

There was a bug that it couldn't display certain images. Images from some cameras were more prone to hit the bug, but no obvious pattern. The bug was partly fixed, but maybe it is still around.
It downloads to your standard downloads directory. How much you can control that is up to the browser and how you have set it up. If you download a single image, the image downloads as an image. If you download more than one, it creates a zip file of them all. Very space inefficient and not very convenient, but ....

Iphone 6 screen display and brightness problem

hello everybody, I'm an iPhone user and I'm currently using iPhone 6 for couple of months. lastly from 1 week ago I'm having problem in my screen display. i always set my brightness to auto and whenever i use my phone in sunny light which means brightness goes to almost 95% level after using it for a while my display goes suddenly dim and i check brightness level it still is at almost 95% level and when i screw to low level it responds normally but when increasing brightness level it still remains dim then i go inside my room and wait few minutes then again brightness respond normally which means when i increase brightness level it gives bright clear display again.. plz give me any suggestion why is this happening...thanks
iphone 6 , 64 GB, iOS version: 8.1.2

First, reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not work, and to make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the phone.
If the phone works as expected, restore from the latest backup. If the problem comes back, the backup data contained corrupt data, causing your issues.
If it still does not work, this could be a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

IMac 27" Bad Display and Lockup Problems

For the past month or so I've been having a serious issue with the video on my iMac, that seems to be escalating.
At first, I noticed a strange pattern of "pixel blocks" getting drawn across my desktop occasionally. If I dragged a selection box over the whole screen, they'd disappear for a few moments, and then draw back in a different pattern. It occurs across the whole screen, even over the menu bar. This was a minor annoyance, as it only seemed to do it in the Finder. (Full screen apps like games wouldn't see the pixel pattern).
The problem has gotten more and more common and severe over the last few weeks. I took it in to the Genius Bar, and they ran a hardware test that showed no problems. They zapped the PRAM and cleaned up disk permissions (things I'd tried before). They suggested I upgrade to Mtn Lion (I was at Snow Leopard) as it might be a software issue.
After upgrading to Mountain Lion, nothing changed for a few days. Here's what's happening now:
I have to hard-restart the computer several times before I will get a "stable" desktop. Sometimes it won't leave the grey screen (not even an Apple logo shows up), sometimes it will get to the desktop and freeze almost immediately. Sometimes it will get to the desktop, but the "pixel block" patterns will appear and flash seemingly "in time" with the hard drive grinding when things are loading. The patterns will flash and change when I move the mouse, and stop when the mouse stops.
After several restarts, both hard and soft, I will eventually get a cycle where things don't lock up, and I can function; but the "pixel block" patterns will still display.
I've tried unplugging everything but the power, tried different power outlets in my house, and it's plugged into a brand new surge protector. Nothing stops the issue.
I've attached a photo I took where the patterns are appearing immediately on startup, over the grey screen, pre-Apple logo. Sorry that the photo is poor, but it's an example of the kinds of "pixel block" patterns I get. They're not the same every time, they "re-draw" differently constantly.
I'm not sure what else the Genius Bar can do for me, as they've already looked at it once. Help!
Edit: Attach photo

Your video board is failing. I just had mine replaced ... twice. The first time they put in a bad card, the second trip they put in a good card but misaligned the logic board so I could not plug in my external monitor.
Hope this helps.
