LCD Display Not Working

    I have a T60, the bottum 1/3 of the screen suddenly is not displaying anything.  There are funky lines across the width of the screen but only come up about a third.  I haven't been able to find anything else wrong.  The screen is fine when in a docking station or projected.  Only the laptop's screen seems affected.

bags4440, welcome to the forum,
hopefully you have warranty, what you describe says to me that you have a defective display. Sorry

  • LCD display not working (blank screen)

    One day old 15" G4 (the latest model). No major changes to configuration; only basic software installed (Adium, Messenger, Firefox, Remote Desktop).
    The LCD display stopped working during normal operation (web browsing) and I assumed it was a power management issue (I was running on a low battery). I unplugged all devices, plugged it in and rebooted (per instruction manual); same issue.
    Since then, I've zapped the PRAM, booted with "R", reset the NVRAM, and reset the PMU. I also tried loading the setup CD with the "Option" to get the hardware check; this may have given me helpful data but I can't see the display so I'm not sure (read: display doesn't work even when booting from CD).
    External monitors work fine still. The Mac boots and everything loads perfectly. I can adjust the screen brightness on the LCD using the F1 and F2 keys; the display responds by varying the backlight but it is not rending the GUI; it remains black (or dark gray, really).
    I'm experienced with computers but this is my first time working on a Mac, so I'm completely unfamiliar with how to troubleshoot these things. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

    Hi
    This is exactly what has happend to my PowerBook a few days ago. Its only just out of warranty too. Man I wish I bought Apple care!!!!!!
    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, could you tell me what it was? Was it the inverter? I'm miles away from an Apple store (yes I know I live in the UK and its a small island, but its still miles) and woulf like to try and resolve it myself.
    Works fine on an external LCD. Tried everything!
    May get my screwdriver out.

  • Zen Touch, LCD Display not working at all, but player is f

    So I'm on the bus, listening to my Zen Touch, it's working fine, the LCD is working fine. Everything is dandy. Few songs later, I pull it out of my pocket, the LCD is blank. But the player is still going. I can change songs, adjust volume, play all randomly etc etc, but I'm working blind, cause there is nothing on the display whatsoever.
    It was a dry day, so it wasnt moisture damage or anything. And I didnt drop it, or bang it. It went from working fine, to going in my pocket, to not working. Really strange.
    I'm sure its just defecti've, but I leave for a week long vacation in just under an hour (good timing eh? works fine for 8 months and then bam, 6 hours before I leave the country...ugh **bleep** karma), and I'm praying theres a simple fix I'm just missing. I already tried multiple restarts and resets, and I even charged it for a few hours, thinking the battery was just getting weak. But no dice. I doubt anyone can help me, but I figured it's worth at least a shot.Message Edited by myname on 0-24-2005 05:07 AM

    If it won't display anything at all, even after a reset, it's likely there is a hardware problem. You could connect the player to the PC and update the firmware, but I suspect it'll be the same after that, unfortunately.

  • Caller display not worked since June 2014

    On 26/06/14 I reported a fault (VOL-**********) that the caller display function had stopped working following a thunderstorm in the area. According to the fault status this fault is showing as being corrected and closed on 02/07/14 when in fact the fault still exists. I tested the line using the BT test socket with a new BT2000 phone and this displayed ‘incoming call’ therefore my internal wiring is not part of the problem. I have also dialled the test code *#234# to check if the caller display service is available and confirmed that it is. I then tested the new BT2000 phone on the neighbour’s telephone line and this showed the caller ID for incoming calls, as did my other telephone as well; therefore none of the telephone handsets are at fault. Three times BT have informed me that the fault has been fixed and yet I still have no caller display. Reading through the forums it would appear that other people have encountered similar issues and that the problem is at the exchange, “An Openreach engineer discovered that the RS232 burst transferring the CLI number up the line was too weak and he then went down to the exchange to investigate. He then discovered that the fault lay in the ADSL device which lies between the analogue exchange equipment and the outgoing line”. 
    I’m surprised to see that BT are taking so long to trace a fault in their system last raised 5/8/2014 (VOL012-**********) and that they haven’t sent an engineer to the property or to the exchange to check the problem.
    My patience is wearing thin over this problem with my Caller Display not working as it started in mid June. I’m also becoming less enthusiastic about BT and find it harder to recommend them to others.
    My last message from BT, tells me that it should be back to normal on the 8 August. However, it is still not working. Their message that my phone should be back to normal now and if it isn’t report this to BT, is ridiculous. If an engineer had investigated what was causing the fault and found it, then he would have fixed it. However, either an engineer has not investigated the fault or BT is not competent in fixing their own service faults and makes these statements with crossed fingers?

    An engineer called yesterday and told me that he had been asked to test the line for a voice fault not a Caller Display fault. However, his testing revealed there is no line fault, CLI signal is strong and he was happy that the new BT2000 phone (bought after the lightning strike) is working properly. (This phone had also been tested on a neighbour’s phone line where it displayed the callers number). He also found that this same BT2000 phone on my line was not displaying the Caller’s number (CLI), but couldn’t offer any reason why.
    I conjectured with him that these tests must bring the problem down to a corrupted CLI signal which does not allow the phone to understand the phone number being sent.
    When the lightning struck the phone line back in June, it blew the telephone connection in the back of the Sky Box with a flash and bang (telephone cable now removed from the Sky box). It shorted the Openreach Faceplate (now replaced) so that the phones and broadband stopped working and it caused the phone to light up and react as it does when a call comes through.
    Now isn’t it possible that the lightning also travelled along the copper wire to the green cabinet just outside the house and damaged something there which is corrupting the CLI signal, but which does not not show up when the voice line is tested? If not, then there must be a problem further back in the infrastructure, possibly in the Exchange, that is causing a corrupted signal to be sent to my phone?
    He told me that another team would have to investigate the Caller Display fault as he was instructed to look into a voice issue and as a field engineer he was not able to investigate any problem that might be in the Exchange. I don’t know whether this Exchange Team would be able to investigate a problem in the Cabinet if nothing is found in the Exchange or can that only be done by a field engineer? He told me to contact BT again as he’d done all that he had been instructed to do and they would have to instigate a fault team to further investigate the problem.
    When all this is considered we have the basic problem that BT are unable to provide me with a Privacy and Caller Display Service that I have been paying for, because of a fault in their infrastructure. How much longer is it going to take before they correct the problem that’s been going on since June 2014?

  • Display not working

    Hi, 
    I am using Lenovo G510 Laptop. First I was getting an error of bad signature file which was stopping windows from loading. 
    I tried to fix it. I changed my BIOS Boot mode from UEFI to Legacy, and then system restarted. After the restart Display is totally black, like the Laptop is powered off. Hard disk light is on, battery power light also turns on when I turn on the laptop. But not showing any display. I've also tried by pulling out the battery and then pressing the power button for 30-60 seconds and then turning laptop on direct power. But it ain't working too. 
    Please any help in this matter will be highly appreciated. 
    Regards

    Dear sir,
           I gave my laptop to an  HP authorized service centre in Ernakulum (Vertex techno solutions Bangalore Pvt ltd, Ernakulum) No: 2550, on 04/12/2014 . Same time i registered my laptop complaint in hp customer support. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware/display-not-working/td-p/4760312,  informed me  that no complaint to MB and GPU . But service centre informed that complaint in motherboard and asked me to change. When I talk them about the your mail and the details that you provided they suddenly respond they can't repair the laptop at their service center, disconnected the phone. I feel very much disappoint about your authorized customer services. In the mean time I kindly request you to take immediate actions regarding these kind of activities also provide a solution to repair my lap top

  • Thunderbolt display not working on Macbook Pro - previously the display did work

    Thunderbolt display not working on Macbook Pro - previously the display did work

    I have upgraded ML but when the MBP tries to restart with the upgrade the MBP does not restart so I susapect the ML upgrade is not complete ? When you refer to 10.8.5 supplemental is this a separate upgrade ? When I connect the Thunderbolt to the MBP the Thunderbolt charges my MBP & I can play music from iTunes via the Thunderbolt. It is only the display that is not working on the Thunderbolt

  • External Display not working (descriptive details in post)

    Hello
    Background:
    I have been using a black Macbook (last year's model - before the aluminum ones came out) and connecting it to a VIZIO VW22L HDTV10T (television/monitor) via a mini-DVI to VGA adapter.
    This setup always worked, although it was a bit finicky (I'd have to plug it in before closing the display to get in to work in clamshell mode, for example). I get the feeling from reading other forum posts that this is the normal case, though (which so far has been my only real gripe with OS X).
    Anyway, back a couple months ago I wondered if this finicky-ness was partially caused by a messed-up preference file, so I decided to try and fix this. In the ensuing tweaking, I somehow caused my Display preferences to disappear.
    After much effort trying to fix the problem, I eventually called Apple support, which ultimately recommended that I reinstall OS X. I didn't do that, and continued to work at the problem. I eventually was able to bring it back by going into my Time Machine backups and restoring all the Display preference files (I used old preferences from back when I got the external HD, so I knew they'd be "uncorrupted). However, now I'm having problems with my external display, namely that it is not working.
    This problem started early this year, so it might have been caused by the 10.5.5 update, but since I had all these other problems going on, I'm not sure if that was the case.
    Problem:
    The Macbook doesn't seem to recognize the display, or is having problems routing video to the display, or something.
    If I plug the display into the Macbook while it is running normally, the Macbook LCD will flash blue (like it picked up a new display), but them come back to normal. The monitor will go out of sleep mode for a second, but then display a "No signal" message. If I attempt to "Detect Displays" the Macbook screen will either flash blue (as before) or just do nothing.
    If I have the display plugged in when I start up the Macbook, everything will proceed as normal until the time the desktop would be displayed. Instead of this, I just see a blue screen (like some generic desktop before any background is applied). The menu bar, the dock, and icons do not show up. However, I can hear various audio cues telling me the computer is running fine except for htis problem (email notifier going off, etc.).
    I know the problem is not faulty hardware, because when I boot my Macbook into Windows, everything works perfectly. It therefore follows that it is an OS X problem. I downloaded both Cocktail and Applejack and run various repairs on them (most notable repairing preferences), but nothing has changed.
    Any suggestions about how to try fixing this? If there's any technical detail I've missed, let me know.
    Thank you in advance to everyone who tries to help.
    -Richard

    I have same problem. MacBook Pro (new, 2014) upgraded to Yosemite. Had been running with ViewPoint high-resolution, 27" monitor, HDMI. I tried Thunderbolt connection -- it connected, but it would not allow the external monitor to run at its native resolution (2560x1440). It would only display properly using HDMI. Just 3 days ago after I installed the latest OSx software update, and my external monitor problems started. On startup, my MacBook screen flickers non-stop. I can fix problem eventually (after several tries) by disconnecting the HDMI cable, turning OFF the external monitor power, turning external monitor back ON and then plugging in the HDMI to my MacBook Pro. This is very inconvenient.
    I will try using the Thunderbolt cable. When I tried it in the past, it connected, but it wouldn't display the native resolution of my external monitor (which is 2560x1440). Can only get this resolution now with HDMI.

  • 20" iMac, display not working properly, otherwise OK

    I have a 20" imac with 10.4.11 loaded, Have had it for about 2 years, no problems at all except occasional wake-from-sleep issue. All of a sudden, the display has quit working properly. The computer sounds like it boots fine, but the display only shows a very deep blue (not black)and the light ind the lower right corner is "on".
    I tried holding a flashlight up to the front as some have suggested, and I do not see see anything at all. This would seem to rule out backlighting or screen brightness issues. I have also reset the PSU and the P-ram, also to no effect. Tried booting from the 10.4 disk, also to no effect.
    My teenagers won't admit having any problems, but one of them did admit to turning off the system several times using the power button in an attempt to reset AirPort. Any thoughts? the only other easy thing I can think of is the battery, could that be causing this much trouble? do the display cables ever detatch from the MB or anything like that? any ideas greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Eric

    Hey Eric,
    This is from the Service Source:
    "Screen is dark, fan is running and the hard drive is spinning. You may hear the startup
    chime as well.
    1. Reset parameter RAM. Press Command-Option-P-R during startup before “Welcome to Macintosh”
    appears.
    2. The system software could be damaged. Start up from the system CD that came with the computer.
    3. Remove the user access panel on the bottom of the computer. With the unit powered on, check if a red
    LED is visible in the access door. If the red LED is on, power is on. If you don’t see the LED glowing
    red, follow the steps under the symptom “No Power”.
    4. Disconnect the A/C power cord. Place the unit in the service stand and remove the user access plate.
    Press the PMU reset button on the logic board. Refer to “Resetting the PMU on the Logic Board”
    mentioned earlier in this chapter.
    5. Check for external video. Connect an external monitor to the mini-VGA port. If you don’t have external
    video, replace the main logic board. If you do have external video, go on to the next step.
    6. Open the bottom housing and verify that all the cables are securely attached. Pay special attention to
    the video cable (located near the modem). If the cables are securely attached, go on to the next step.
    Warning: Whenever the bottom housing is opened for service, you must do two things:
    • You must clean the original thermal film from the surfaces joining the thermal interface layer and
    reapply thermal paste to the thermal pipe.
    • The bottom housing has four torx screws that must be tightened to at least 17 in.-lbs. If you do not
    have a torque driver, you will have to make sure these screws are tightened by hand FIRMLY, BUT
    NOT FORCIBLY. Or, purchase the service tool (076-0899) in order to ensure the thermal pipe is
    firmly mated with the top base. If the bottom housing is not securely attached to the base in this
    fashion, the CPU may overheat and become damaged.
    7. Check the connection of the video cable to the LCD flat panel display (under black tape).
    8. Replace the inverter board.
    9. Replace the LCD display. Important: If you are replacing the display, be sure to install the new display
    shield and EMI gaskets that come with the new LCD panel. Installation instructions are included with
    the new display panel. Additional display shields/gasket kits are also available separately as a kit, part
    #076-0958.
    10. Replace the neck assembly
    11. Replace the logic board.
    12. Replace the power supply board."
    In my experience the connectors both on the logic board and on the back of the LCD panel have been known to come loose. I also have a neck assembly here that went bad.
    If you need more info email me.

  • Wvc210 camera display not working

    Hi,
    I have a wvc210, the little LCD display on the camera is not showing anything so I cannot determine what IP it is working off. The indicator lights are working and it boots up ok. 
    Any suggestions?

    Hello, 
    First of all, I'm sorry that you are having issues with the camera.
    My first recommendation if for you to contact the support center at 866-606-1866 so that we can determine if the device is under warranty and replace it.
    If that is not an option or you already know the device is out of support and since the unit is working correctly, what you can do is look into the DHCP table and find the MAC Address of the camera, that way you will now the IP address that is using and will be able to log into it.
    Also, if that is not an option, you could download a network scanner (several free on the internet, as always, Google is your friend), run the scan and find the MAC address.
    Once you found the address, log into the unit and assign a static IP address to it so you will always know how to access it.
    I hope this was helpful.

  • Photosmart c6380 lcd display not lighting up

    I have a C6380 all in one printer and the lcd display back light has been intermittently going off and on. The display still works and you can read everything on it, but it is just hard to read when the display is not being backlit. Sometimes when I tap on the screen or flip the display up and down the light will turn back on, but only for awhile. I have tried searching for other posts about this type of problem, all to no avail. I have even gone as far as trying to find a replacement part for it, nope. I just don't want to replace the printer because it is only about a year old and works great. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    If the printer is less then year old, then I suggest you call HP and get the printer replaced. If you exceed the 1 yr. warranty, then the printer replacement will not be free of charge.

  • Cinema HD Display not working - flashing lights

    Hi
    Ii have two 23" cinema HD displays on the mac listed below. they have worked fine for ages, but today i turned on and one of the displays did not come on, instead the power light flashed periodically with a long pause then a short flash, long flash and short flash.
    i have searched for solutions and i found this article for LCD displays:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2811
    which stated that this kind of flash means the power adapter isnt working, but i tried swapping the adapted/power cord with the other display without luck.
    this other article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA40898?viewlocale=en_US
    which states it may be the backlight, but i wanted to try here to see if there was any other potential solutions, if not whats my best bet with getting it resolved?
    things ive tried:
    i tryed the problem display on it's own to make sure it wasnt a problem with having dual screens, it still didnt work.
    I tryed swapping the power adapter, the adapter seemed to work fine with the working monitor, and the other one didnt help with the faulty display.
    I tryed both display sockets in the back of the mac to make sure the connection to the mac wasnt the problem.
    i thought the cable which runs to the display to the power adapter may be worth trying to swap, but while i thought this was removable i couldnt seem to disconnect it from the back of the display and didnt want to pull too hard incase i broke it is it fixed?

    I had the same issue and appreciate your links, thanks. However the indication (short-long-short) was not accurate. I switched adapter with no luck, but when I switched to another 23" Cinema Display it worked fine as in your experience.
    There has to bee something else wrong with our monitors. I was lucky, we had two others standing around so I'm all set.
    I have no other information that might help you, sorry.

  • Laptop Built In Display and External Display not Working

    Hi all, I have a HP Envy M6-1158ca, and recently my Built-in display stopped working. I plugged it into an external display via HDMI and it showed no input. It seems as though the laptop is not booting into Windows either, as usually whenever my laptop boots into windows, the fingerprint scanner blinks letting me know I can now sign in using it. I am extremly frustrated with this, and have an unbelieveable amount of stress because this was my only PC. Please respond as soon as possible, it would be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    This question was solved.

    Yes.. i think thats what might have damaged it...Notebook should always be completely powered off with the battery out and ac adapter disconnected while  replacing any internal hardware..
    Shouldnt be a BIOS problem....but still you can check this link..
    Restoring the BIOS
    Note:
    If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem
