LCD 100 Pro -- screens are dark

We are running 5 of these screens with the 4400 dmps. Since installing RS232 cables to allow use of Industry Weapon's Control IT module, the screens are now very dark. Adjusting color/contrast etc makes no difference. Even when the cables and the dmps are disconnected, the screens are still very dark.
has anyone else experienced anything similar with this screen?

Hello Rosa Ann,
So if you:
- turn off the display with the switch on the back
- disconnect everything but the power cable
- turn the display back on again
Does the "Check Signal Cable" message on thescreen still looks dark?
You can press the 'menu' on the remote to see the menu and check colors/brightness...
If the menu is also dark please try Setup -> Reset -> Color Reset -> ok.
If this does not help then this is most likely a hardware problem .
Best regards, Peter

LCD 100 PRO 40N error "Check Cooling System"

At our school, we have a Cisco LCD 100 PRO 40N that now shows a message on the screen that states "Check Cooling System". I have not been able to find any information or documentation on how to do this or how to clear the message. This message is coming for the LCD, not from the DMP it is connected to. Does anyone have any information that might help?

Hello James,
"Check Cooling System" message is displayed on the screen when there is an issue with the cooling fan. Couple of things you can do proactively are check for ventilation issues on the back of the LCD screen. Switch it off for around 5-10 minutes and turn it back on. If the issue persists, open a Cisco TAC case to get an RMA.
Thanks,
Sagar Dhanrale

DMP 4400G RS 232 connection with Cisco LCD 100 PRO 40N

Hi everyone,
I know that this question was kinda asked before, but I still have trouble setting the DMM to control the Cisco LCD 100 PRO 40N (Samsung) through the DMP RS 232 connection!
I have searched and read every post on this forum, tried everything ("Samsung_MDC_RS232_Protocol_Ver-21.pdf" & rs232.tx_hex= ) but with no avail.
We have DMS VmWare Demo (Signs&Cast 5.2, Show and Share 5.2) and 4400G with 5.2 firmware.
Also, I've connected the Serial RS232 9-Pin Female to Female that came with the TV onto the DMP 4400G and into the TV RS232 IN port, configured the DMP Display Control in the Advance Task tab as you can see from the attach picture, and set the TV type to Cisco 40N and Power ON and another task for Display OFF. What am I doing wrong here!?
Any input will be greatly appriciated!

With DMS 5.2, this pretty straight forward as your JPEG attachment shows.
Take a look at the documentation...
There may have been some steps you missed...
For 5.1 & 5.2....

* Connect RS-232 cable to the DMP and the LCD.
I believe either RS-232 port should work for the LCD. I thought the FRONT port (closet to front of TV)
was an IN\OUT port. And the BACK port was just an IN port. I used the BACK port for my testing.
* next, you NEED to ENABLE ON RS-232 controls on the DMP first. From the DMM, issue the
"Advanced Task--> System Task --> RS-232: Control Supported, non-DMTech displays" for the DMP(s)
in question. By default, RS-232 controls are disabled.
* Create 2 new System Tasks in the Advanced Tasks Tab.
Turn ON - Cisco LCD = rs232.tx_hex=aa11fe010111
Turn OFF - Cisco LCD = rs232.tx_hex=aa11fe010010
* Once RS-232 Control is Enabled & the New System Tasks are created, You can now issue the LCD Turn On & Off
tasks from the DMM-DSM DMP Manager.
Note: You can combine RS-232 commands using the "Control TV" tool on the DMP Manager List Zone. The "Control TV"
is designated by the TV with Antenna Icons in the DMP List Tool bar.

Borders of macbook pro screen are yellowish

I have a MacBook Pro 15-inch with a Hi-Res Antiglare Widescreen Display (early 2011)
As you can see on this picture: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wexnrh01y6u0y94/foto.JPG (screen with a full screen textedit window), the bottom-left corner has a yellow glow. This appears on nearly all the sides (apart from the top), but is the strongest in de lower left en lower right corner.
I don't think this is ok for a two year old macbook pro. Is there anybody else who got this problem?

are you sure it is not the reflection of the very yellow tablet that is right in front of the screen?
If you are sure that it is not that you could read this article by Apple, although that was meant for the "burnt-in" effect that sometimes appears with retina screens:

If that does not help, back to apple.

Strange mark on screen when darker colors appear over the area

I just noticed this today. When I view an image with a black screen or darker shades of gray a weird white mark appears in front of the color. I realize this is most likely a problem ON the physical display. Basically, I'm wondering if this can be fixed and if it would be covered under warranty. You can see a picture of it here: http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d19/footballman2399/IMG_0001.jpg

If you are talking about that ghostly, banana-shaped crescent on the right side of the picture you linked, that looks like what happens when there is crush damage to an LCD's light spreader. I have seen that kind of pattern on notebook screens where people have accidentally dropped something on top of the closed lid, or else even accidentally stepped on the closed notebook getting out of bed or under a pile of newspapers or something like that. Or another scenario is putting it in a case and packing it into the trunk of a car and piling heavy things on top of it and taking a trip with the case packed like that.
Is the lid on the MBP dented from above in that area? If it's under warranty and shows no signs of external abuse, you might be able to get the LCD panel replaced by Apple for free under the assumption that it left the factory in that condition, e.g. a manufacturing defect. But more likely than not Apple will claim it is abuse and won't fix it under warranty. But you can always try.

Screen goes dark on a MacBook Pro

Occasionally the screen goes dark on my MacBook Pro (2009). It is running Mavericks. The computer is still running, just no picture. After restarting it a few times the screen will again be working. Any suggestions?

Most of us wouldn't know that here. Call your Apple Store.

In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

HT6099 why does the mac pro (late 2013) only support up to 60Hz at 1080p? TV screens are pretty much all 120Hz. So much for future proof.

My Facebook and Safari are now "stuck". I can't scroll and the screen is darker that normal.

My Facebook and Safari are both "stuck". I cant's scroll or open anything plus the screen is dark (not black). What did I do?

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History). Then try closing the app completely : from the home screen double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it (and Facebook app if you are using that and not accessing it via Safari), and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
