Late 2011 model display problems: white screen and shuts off on its own

A few days ago my macbook pro (late 2011 model) starting going nuts. The screen would turn white or become pixelated all the sudden, even if all i'm running is Chrome. The laptop is not over heated. This is what would happen:
Screen goes white or become pixilated
Computer shuts off on its own after a moment
Attempt to reboot, stuck on apple logo screen (pixilated)
Shuts off on its own again
The only way to reboot is through safe mode.
I've tried resetting SMC and running an apple hardware check.

It's most likely the macbook pro 2011 denied by apple GPU problem many many others suffer from too.
you can read about it here if you have a few days.

My ipod 4th gen went onto a blank white screen and turned off. what should i do?

My iPod 4th gen was dead so I charged it, the apple sign appeared and stayed on the screen for about 10 minutes then went onto a blank white screen and turned off. Now I can't charge it and it has already happened multiple times. what should I do? I also don't know which iOS operating system it is, does that matter?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My macbook pro has been shutting off on its own. The power cord "shuts off" (does not work) simultaneously. Does anyone know what is wrong? or what could be the problem?

When my mac finally turns on the date/time is reset a windows pops up saying, "Your computer's clock is set to a date before January 1, 2008. This may cause some applications to behave erractically."

If you have Apple Care you should give them a call.

My ihone only displays a white screen and I want to fix it myself.

my iphone will only display a white screen can I fix it and how can I?

At this point, you probably be better off saving up for and purchasing a new one. Apple will not help you since you opened the iPod up. A third party repair company may be able to help but the cost will likely be near the cost of buying a new Nano.

Is it normal for your iPod touch 4th gen screen to come off on its own?

So I have had my iPod touch for a while now. I understand that things get old and fall apart eventually, but what confuses me is how does the screen come off on its own? I noticed it a few weeks ago when I was reading a book that some light was able to come out from the top area of the screen where the camera is located. I started to investigate about it and turns out the the top area of the iPod had came loose. A few days later I noticed that it started to get worse. It started to allow me to see the components on the inside. Then my screen turned off not allowing my to turn it back on when I later found out that one of the cables that connect the screen had came lose and popped off the connection for it. What should I do? Please help me and tell me what I should do to fix it.

"Do you have any duct tape?" Seriously, no it shouldn't come off, contact your Apple genius bar and get it fixed. Good luck.

MacBook Pro won't boot and shut down on its own.

Hi, I am running a Macbook Pro. My problem is that the OS froze during use, and I could not move the cursor. As which point I force shut down by holding the powerswitch. From that point onwards I could not get the machine to boot, it keep getting stuck at the grey screen with Apple icon. After loading at the grey screen for 15-20 mins it shuts down on its own.
I've tried to reset SMC (shift-control-option + power button) and PRAM (Command-Option-P-R) but it dint work. Please help. Thanks.

It appears your problem occured after you upgraded to 10.8.2, but if you did it right after the SSD and RAM switch then it's hard to tell exactly what is causing the issue.
I advise returning back to factory, hold command option r boot and wipe everything and reinstall 10.8
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
If the problem continues, then make a warranty/AppleCare call, hopefully you didn't strip the screw heads or leave any other tell tale damage inside.
If your fine on 10.8.2 for some time, then switch the RAM and do a hardware test extended or Rember or Memtest to make sure the new RAM is not the issue.
If that's fine then Carbon Copy Cloner to the external SSD and hold option key down to boot from it and test that.
Then do the internal SSD switch and test that.
Take your time, Mac's are so finicky and you can't just slap this or that and expect it all to immediatly work like it should.

SATELLITE P205D-S8804 ; FREEZING AND SHUTTING DOWN ON ITS OWN CONSTANTLY

This has been a wonderful piece of technology for the first 2 1/2 years. Around this time last year it started to freeze and shut off ( a couple of times a day). So I went out and got a cooling pad . That stopped it from shutting off but it continued to freeze up. Also, tried re-installing the software. Now it is to the point that I didn't think I could get this message out before it happens again . H E L P   ME   PLEASE   .........

That's good, because we can make experiments. What happens after you boot this way?
1. Into Safe Mode.
   Start your computer in safe mode
2. Normally into another account. Create one if necessary.

N6233 start,PIN code,white screen and shuts down i...

Hello,
My N6233 after switching on and entering PIN shows only white screen with battery icon and shuts down automatically after a few seconds. Would it be possible to repair it by upgrading FW by using NSU or some another SW ?
Thanks,
Lubo

Have you tried removing the sim card and memory card then trying to switch it on?
If it still doesn't work then your only option is to take it to a nokia care point. You cannot use the NSU if the phone cannot boot up properly.
If it works without the sim and memory card let us know.

My iphone 5c shut off by its own and its been about two hours and it will not come on even when I charge it, why is this?

My Iphone 5c has been shutting off and coming back on, on its own since I got it in December of 2013. I don't know why its doing this but now it did that again and it will not come back on. Even if I put the charger on it.

Do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.

Crashes to white screen and turns off

I installed Lion yesterday.
Very dissapponted there is NO DOCUMENTATION on the new features after installation.
But whats really wrong...
The machine worked fine before lunch.
I shut down when I left.
After lunch I started up, the machine started to draw my desktop, then the screen went white, and the machine turned off.
No every time I restart it does the same thing.
Great OS

If still problem try the remaiing items of:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

P20 Blue screening and shutting off

I have an SP20 S203 Notebook and have been having some serious issues in that it randomly reboots or bluescreens then reboots
It has 2X 512mb Dram chips as fitted from new
I have read that many Tosh memory modules needed to be replaced as some were faulty? could this be my problem?
In addition to this I have noticed out of the 3 fans on the system the middle smaller fan never seems to be on when the other 2 are? is it perhaps broken and causing overheating?

Hi
your model was not covered by the memory replacement program. So in that aspect it wasn't affected. But you might have problems with the memory anyway. So if you suspect them being faulty;
remove one, work for some time (as long as you need to be sure the machine works better than before or until you get a new bluescreen). Remove the one in the machine and reinsert the other one. Repeate the process above.
If you get bluescreens with both mems then first check that they comply to the specs. If they do then look for your problem elsewhere. F.ex. what does the bluescreen say? It might not be a mem problem at all. It could be a driver problem or something completely different.
If you can find a pattern with the bluescreens and memory modules maybe you should consider replacing the faulty one.
Short and hasty explained I know. Sorry.
Good luck
Tom
