Laptop screen has a light white square with an orange dot.

I just installed a new screen to replace a cracked one. When the systems first turns on and powers down a faint 2"x2" white square with a 1/4" orange dot appears. It's most visible with the lights off. This has happened with 2 replacement screens and am now wondering if the problem is within the laptop itself. I've added a screenshot of it with a circle around the orange dot. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Hi
Do a hard reset first
Try downloading & Installing the updated BIOS and graphics drivers from your HP product site to rule out software display problems.

Macbook pro screen has black and white squares

I have an older 2007 15" MacBook Pro. I turned it on one day and, although the computer made the same sounds it always does when it is booting up, the screen showed these very depressing black and white squares, and the rest of the pixes around these blocks (half black, half white) were very scrambled. A few days later the computer booted up completely normally, but now it is back to the crazy screen.
Does anyone know what this problem may be? I am currently in Thailand and am wondering if someone can help me figure out what problem this most likely is so I can decide how much an appropriate repair should cost.
Thanks so much!

Hi if the device is a Macbook pro 15 inch mid 2010 model then there might be a chance of replacement of MLB for NVDIA graphic problem, please contact an apple authorised service provider for more details about this issue and you may get a free replacement programme for this MLB also all the best.....

Yeah it's dead. Take it to an Apple Genius Bar and have it checked out. Then buy a new one.

HT1553 my laptop screen has gone blank, probably graphic card problem. i want to back it up. please help

my laptop screen has gone blank probably due to graphic card problem.i need to back up my content as i have bought a new mac and do not intend on repairing the old one. please help

If you are buying a new mac, Apple will do the migration for you, I would let them do it.
If you have an external monitor, I would try to do a data backup before doing anything.
Could also be your drive has already failed, or logic card. Again I would take it the Apple store, and have them deal with it since you bought a new Mac, they would do this for free, and the shoulder the responsibility.
Hoe this helps.

Live tracing a jpg gave me a white square with a few vectors

I used the 3D Revolve effect to create a sphere. I then "expanded appearance" to try and "subtract from shape area" a portion of the sphere. It ended badly. So I copied and pasted the sphere into Photoshop, removed the portions I wanted gone and placed it into Illustrator in hopes "live trace" would save my bacon. It didn't. When I select the graphic and choose expand "live trace", it gives me a white square with a few vector points in it. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Go to Live Trace Trace Options so you can change the setup to color then choose 4 or 5 or 6 colors and check ignore white you get this.
You have to change the option to color or convert to grayscale and choose grayscale the default is b&w which is not what you want.

My Mac book pro screen has a constant white mark on it.

Hi,
My Mac book pro screen has a constant white mark on it, i have no idea why, its like its inside the screen, its never been dropped or had anything fall on it and the mark is starting to get bigger. Has anyone else had the same problem? i've inserted a pic of it, hopefully you can make it out.
Thank You

I see a multitude of white marks on your display. Your best option is to make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians examine the MBP. Hardware problems such as this cannot be solved via these forums.

my ipod touch screen has turned bright white. the things are visible but partially and when shift the screen it leaves trails behind. i dont know what to do help please.

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 another cable
- 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.

Phone screen has too much white on it.

I've had my blackberry torch for almost two years now and I've either had to have it replaced or get it repaired about 7 times now. Now, the issue it that the screen has white lines going down it. They begun only ONE WEEK after I had gotten my phone back from repair after having the whole screen gone white, making it unuseable. But then white lines begun coming up on the right hand side, but as I need my phone for work, I couldn't deal with having my phone in repair for another week, but now it's gotten really bad and takes up about 70% of the screen. So I was wondering if there was anything I could do to fix it? My contract runs out in about a month so I'm not bothering with repairing it, I just want something I can actually use for emails etc until then....
Thanks!

Hello,
What you describe sounds like hardware, for which no amount of internet-distance diagnostics nor OS/software level "fixes" can be of any use.
Good luck!

My Laptop screen has gone Dark

I have a Lenovo Ideapad Z500, Intel I7, 3612QM, 6GB Ram with an Nvidia GT740M Graphic Card.
My display was absolutely fine, till I installed Windows 8.1. After a few minutes of working properly, the laptop screen went dark.
I have installed all available updates for Windows, and have also updated the drivers for the graphics card, however the screen is still dark.
Kindly suggest a way to fix this

You can work through the five 5 R's of troubleshooting.

It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity. A third party service will actually replace the damaged part for a little less. Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.
