Because they said there's no stock in Singapore
Can anyone help me?
Just bought on 15/11/2013

You can call iService and ask to speak with a manager.

Why do my ipad turn blue (the screen) when i charged it?

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank. Be patient, the device will power ON again in the normal way. It is app and data safe!]

T61 blue cast screen problem

A number of users have reported a blue cast screen problem. I have managed to correct this by altering the colors in color correction (reducing blue), but I have to repeat the correction each time I boot up. Is there a way to permanently save the correction so that it will apply with each reboot?

This sounds to me like your green signal to your LCD is not correct - maybe it's sitting at a constant 50%.
My guess is that the ribbon cable that carries the LVDS signal from your mainboard to LCD has come a bit loose, or has developed a crack. You might try shifting the cable around a bit, or carefully reseating it in the ZIF connector if you are comfortable disassembling your laptop (and voiding the warranty).
Alternately, the crack could have developed inside the G84 chip itself - if the rumors are true, this could be one of the outcomes of the G84's defective manufacturing.

T400 Flickering Screen problem

I am having a problem where my computer screen keeps flickering, especially during start up and afterwards. It doesnt matter whether it is plugged in or not. It is similar to this video,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MOv_NsFqpQ&noredirect=1
I took it to my tech support and no one had any idea what to do about it. In addition, images on random websites (anything from huffington post to yelp) only half load. I uninstalled and reinstalled my browsers and updated my drivers.
This laptop has given me problems since I bought it. I once sent it into lenovo for repair and it had to be sent right back again. Another time i got a replacement battery and it arrived coated in sand and seemed worse than the original - (but was going abroad so I couldnt wait for another replacement.)
Since it is out of warranty, I am wondering if there is any way to fix this or whether I need to get a new laptop. Thanks!

IPad 2 - Warrenty Clicking Screen problem?

Greetings, I have had my iPad 2 for almost a year now and suddenly when im tuching the screen i hear a "click" sound. I think it is the adhesive that is starting to break lose. Does anyone if the warrenty covers this kind of issues?
Cause i have read that others have had similar problems with the "click" sound.

Since it appeared to be a hardware issue, I figured I would take a chance and open the iPad up.
Upon opening, I saw two similar connectors, one for the battery and one for the lcd screen.
I disconnected them, cleaned them, and reseated them, figuring it might make a difference. But it didn't.
After putting everything back together, the ipad still froze exactly like before after 2 minutes. At least
I didn't make it worse!
So I started to think that this screen freezing problem seems to have gotten worse since the seasonal
change in weather has gotten progressively warmer here in Pennsylvania from February to June, and that
it would be interesting to put the iPad in the freezer for 15 minutes and see if cooling the iPad improves it's
performance.
It did! After 15 minutes in my freezer, the iPad was able to respond properly for 26 minutes before the screen "froze".
Is this because there is a component that is heating up inside, and cooling the iPad slows down that process,
OR
is the touchscreen more capable of "distinguishing" my warm fingers when the iPad is generally cooler?
All thoughts welcome.

IPad red line across screen

I was just using my iPad normally when all of a sudden, a red line appeared across the screen one pixel wide. I tried to restart and reset. Is there some other solution?

If resetting didn't fix it, it appears you have a bad screen. You'll have to contact Apple by phone or at the Genius bar at an Apple store.
They may replace your iPad, even if it is out of warranty, though I strongly doubt that. Otherwise, you can purchase a refurbished one on exchange as long as there is no water damage:
If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
iPad model
Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
iPad mini
$219
iPad 3rd, 4th generation
$299
iPad 2, iPad
$249
A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.
Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPad is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. Replacement iPads have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare service contract coverage, whichever is longer. Please see the AppleCare+ for iPad and Apple Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.

IPod blue flickering screen

Hi,
I have a problem with my iPod 2nd generation 2 Gb.
When I switch it on, almost everytime my screen is unreadable. More specifically, my screen shows a _marineblue background_ with _lightblue horizontal lines through it constantly flickering_. Everytime I want to listen to a specific song, I have to select it blindly, listening to the clicks of the clickwheel. The only moment I can use my iPod normally, is when I've put it on my music system (so I don't connect it with the little output jack, but with the data piece, or whatever it is called, lol). Did or does anyone also encounter this problem or does someone know what to do? Please answaer me, I want to know if I have to buy a new iPod or not.
Thanks in advance

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My grandson was playing with my iPad 1. The screen is tinged with red, blurry, never seen this before, nor do I know how to fix it.

My 4 yr. old grandson played with my iPad yesterday. When I picked it up late last night, the screen had a red haze throughout. The clarity of every screen is tinged in red wavy lines, and bright red appears at the top of the screen. I have no idea what he has done. I need help for sure.

He might have dropped or banged the iPad hard causing a hardware problem.
First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
Some people have found that giving the iPad a hard slap on the back cures the red tint problem. But it usually is a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Lenovo G550 laptop - red, blue, yellow specks and lines on screen

Hello,
I have a 2 year old Lenovo G550 laptop, system model 20023 ( Dual-Core CPU T4300 2,10Ghz, 3,00GB RAM) running 32-bit Win 7 Home Premium OS with graphic card Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family.
Month ago, I started getting 2 vertical lines on my screen, which change colors and tend to disappear when I tilt it. Recently, problem graduated to red, blue, yellow specks all over the screen. Tilting no longer works, but I noticed a definite relationship with the degree of pressure on the case. When I push hard enough on the left spot below the case (where hard disk is located), the problem resolves completely. I also tried plugging another monitor in and there seems to be no problem either. Please, help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Graphic card issue sounded highly unlikely with the external monitor image appearing to be normal. I tried reseating the lcd cable and it fixed the problem.

I have a blue hanging screen with restart and I went to trade line stores and they refuse to help me saying that I didn't buy my iPad from trade line store ?

Your problem might be a easy fix.
If the firmware "forgets" what partition it's supposed to boot from, it won't load OS X, so if OS X doesn't load then it can't tell the fans to slow down, the default is "turbo mode".
So all you might have to do is hold the option/alt key down while booting the computer with a charged up battery on power, you will then see a row of icons and you pick OS X to boot from.
Once in you head to System Preferences and set the Startup Disk, that will tell the firmware what to boot from again.
Try it and see if it works.
You can do more if your problem is not fixed.

Yes, if it was purchased new you have a 1 year warranty, despite who you bought it from (unless it's stolen goods)
However you should purchase AppleCare while your in the store for another 2 more years of coverage also a backup drive for TimeMachine to protect your data.

Random blue/red flash on screen when exiting apps

I have an iphone 6 64gb with ios 8.1. I encounter a weird blue and sometimes red flash on screen when exiting app (specific to galaxy empire only). It looks like the blue/red screen of death but just a very quick flashing. so far no other problems occured but it sokehow makes me uncomfortable especially the phone is only less than 3 weeks old. Is it a hardware problem?

Ipad mini blue screen for the third time.

Ipad mini blue screen for the third time. Bought in February 2014.
What I restored the first time but the problem persists. I want to know if it is a hardware problem or software?
Thank you.

Could be either. I'd make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out. It shouldn't be blue screening.

I have a new l7 macbook pro running snow leopard. When I try to boot into windows7 32bit, I get either a blue, black, or flickering screen. Then I have to physically shut down and try again. At that point it will load correctly. Any help?

I have a new l7 Macbook Pro running snow leopard. When I tried to to install windows 7 32 bit on bootcamp, I kept getting a flicking black and blue screen when it tried to install. (Tried several times). I finally downloaded the bootcamp windows support to a flash. I inserted that and finally got it installed. Now when I try to boot into windows I get either a solid black (sometimes blue) or flickering screen and windows will not start up. If I then physically shut down the mac and restart, it will finally boot into windows where it tells me that windows was shut down unexpectently and once I click start windows normally, it will boot up. That will generally let me boot into windows for the remaining of the day. The next day, the same thing happens again. I have tried reinstalling several times, and the same thing keeps happening. It is not my windows disk because it installs flawlessly on the mid 2008 macbook pro. Anyone know how to fix this?

Screen problem making iPad unusable

My iPad2 is 15 month old and has developed a strange screen problem. It seems to have developed a mind of its own, typing ahead with random characters, doing its own thing when scrolling and trying to select in apps. Two days ago Apple support said restore to factory settings which I did. Same problem came back. Yesterday Apple support said the same thing which again I did. Same problem came back Today Apple support say it's a hardware issue out of warranty. We had a polite discussion about EU legislation but to cut a long story short, they basically said "sorry about that, but there is nothing our policies will let us do, you're on your own"
Not exactly the response I hoped for. So I've now got an iPad that is basically useless, unless I want to use it as a door stopper.
My business made a strategic commitmnt to Apple in Mid 2011 and this iPad was part of our shift away from PC/Windows. It's the first time I have needed to deal with Apple Support, and while each of the people I have spoken to have been professional, understanding and helpful, they have been unable / not allowed to assist any further.
Yes, we could have taken out Apple Care Agreements. We chose not to on the basis of 2 year statutory warranty and Apple's reputatiuon for reliability. Seems I made a big mistake here and am left wondering if we made the right decision in going down the Apple route. Our investment in Apple hardware and software is massive for an SME and our workflow depends on iPads.
I'm left with a problem. Thanks Apple.
I'm still a fan but my blinkers have been removed. No longer will you be giveen the benefit of the doubt when you screw up - Maps, WiFi etc - as you have had a direct and negative impact on my business and missed a chance to keep a very happy customer on board.
Does it help to post this? Not really, but it's off my chest.

And you are within your "rights" to post this. But you do realize that we are not Apple employees - correct? We are just other users like yourself. If you feel that you have been treated unjustly, move up the Apple chain of command. Politely demand to speak to the next higher up and go from there.
