LCD display. Part (1/5) when black

My display/screen on mu imac 17" when black. Apparently the LCD monitor is broke. How do I fix it?

Hi Lamastus and Welcome to Apple Discussions,
You're in the CRT area. You need to be one section above to get people that know the Flat Panel iMac.
However it sounds like a inverter backlight problem. Can you see anything on the screen with a flashlight?

Anywhere you can find it via the obvious Google search. It won't be from Apple, but will be a generic replacement.
Why are you throwing away any future chances of out of warranty replacements when you drop or drown it? Apple will give you a warranteed replacement phone for $199 (in the US, roughly the same in your country)

Why do black lines appear across the message part of emails when I first open Thunderbird

Black lines appear across the message part of emails when I first open Thunderbird. This has been happening the last couple of days and is very annoying. It used to happen on Mozilla when I would go on the internet. It has stopped.

Brand new macbook pro 15" when connected to external LCD display in high resolution ,flickers often

Hi,
I have brand new macbook pro 15" with retina display.
I have connected external LCD display (Samsung B2230) using Apple VGA adaptor & thunderbolt port. But LCD display flickers quite oftenly. I read community blogs where many macbook pro users like me are facing similiar issue.
There is no problem with LCD display as it works fine with Lenova laptops.
Can anybody please provide me the solution to this problem.?
Regards,
Sam

I -Mac 24 inch LCD display

I would like to know the best resolution for (or default I guess) for the I-MAC 24 inch LCD display? Today I wanted to change the brightness as my eyes were feeling tired and in the process of doing too many things at once, I guess I inadvertently changed the resolution. I went through and tried about all of them.......but wanted to know which one is best?
ALSO, in the midst of this process of changing resolutions, I began to notice a blurry area at the bottom right of my display. As I said, my eyes were tired and I thought at first it was just me. But then it was like weird. I decided to power off the computer and see what it looked like with a black screen. I did this - and there was this odd whitish area almost resembling fog or condensation. But it is on the inside and hard to know what is going on. I left the computer off and kept checking back and this blurred, foggy whitish spot slowly disappeared. What is going on?

Thank you for your reply. I set the resolution and it is perfect.
As for that blurry fog that occurred that day ---- it has never happened again. I am wondering if this was a result of my inadvertently changing the resolution to something inappropriate and that part of the screen would have become black......and then when it got changed back MAYBE this whitish area was left behind for a while. Like I said it did slowly disappear.
I am planning to take my I-MAC in for a check very soon as I had the feeling during the summer months that it was overheating on occasion as it sometimes powered down on its own. So I will tell them about this as well.

Problem with LCD display on 17" iMac G4

The LCD display on my iMac went wacky on me yesterday. It's as though one of the three primary colors no longer works. The screen has a green tinge to it, and anything that's supposed to be black shows up as green. I've reset everything, run the Hardware Tools diagnostics (no problems found), and changed resloutions, monitor depth, and brightness levels many times. No luck. The screen is readable although very ugly.
Obviously I can take it to an Apple Store, but does anyone have any idea what it might be? I've searched the net and the forums and can't find anything close, but I know I can't be the only one to experience this problem. I called a mac repair shop a few minutes ago, and they said that the logic board would need to be replaced. I just can't believe that because nothing else is a problem.
Please help. Thanks.
17" iMac G4 1Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I "fixed" the problem a few days ago. Digging around here in the forums, I found another thread that gave explicit instructions on how to open the iMac and re-seat the connections. Here is the link (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=196785&start=30&tstart=30). It's a post from Androcles made on 3/26/06.
Just as he indicates, when I did this I found nothing to be loose at all, however upon putting it all back together, on the 2nd re-boot all was back to normal and still is. It's amazing how clear and crisp the screen is after suffering through the green hue for a few weeks...
Good luck, and feel free to ask me for help if necessary.

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

White screen after replacing LCD display myself. Help needed!

I tried replacing the cracked LCD display, the fuctions on the iPod is still working but after replacing the LCD display it turns out to be white. I search the internet for solution but can't find any instead the possible problem. I found forums stating it could be the 'GPU chip' is fried on the logic board. I tried the cracked LCD on another iPod Touch 2nd Gen and found out that you could still see the outline of the lockscreen and time but when I tried on the original iPod Touch 2nd Gen it's just white, the same goes for the new LCD display. It's there any possible way to replace just that part without resetting the iPod Touch to its factory settings and how much would it cost?

There

Connecting an Apple 17" LCD Display to my PowerBook

Hello
I'm a complete novice at displays and I need some very basic advice!
I'm thinking of getting an Apple 17" LCD Display off eBay. I know I need a connector/adapter and these seem to be also available on eBay although they do seem to vary from about £4 to £30! Do I need other connectors - say for power? What are the combined power connectors I've seen? I want to link it to my 550 Powerbook Titanium.
Is there a specific connector I need? What do I need to look out for? Is there a reason why they vary in price? Is/was there an Apple part number I can look out for?
Also, can I use the same connector to link up a non Apple display?
What do people think about Formac flat panels?
Any thoughts on what's best?
Thanks Russ

Hi, Russ. The Apple Studio Display 17" LCD (with a
clear acrylic case) connects to a Mac through its ADC
port, which is designed to feed video data, USB, and
power to the display through a single cable. Your
550MHz Tibook has a VGA-out port, which does not
supply power to a connected display, nor does it
supply USB to enable the USB port(s) on the display.
Apple's system requirements for the Studio Display
include an ADC or DVI port on the computer driving
the display. Your Powerbook model has neither, so I
suspect it can't drive the Studio Display at all.

isplay17LCD.html
All other LCD displays I've ever seen offered for
less than $2000 are distant runners-up to Apple's
LCDs in image quality. I don't recall whether I've
ever seen a Formac LCD, but I would expect it to be
comparable to the general run of the low-end LCD
marketplace, i.e., cheaper than Apple's offerings and
far inferior to them.
When actual selling prices for identical items on
Ebay vary widely, it generally reflects limited
demand, variable supply, and differences in patience
from one buyer to another. Someone who feels a need
to "buy it now" will gladly pay a premium; someone
who can take it or leave it this time and is happy to
wait for a better deal next time an identical item
comes up won't pay anywhere near as much.
Thanks eww. But can I get an adapter which plugs into my vga port and converts to dvi? As I said in my post, I'm a no-hoper on all this stuff but I'm sure I've seen somewhere that Powerbooks like mine can display through an external monitor.
I mentioned the 17" Apple display because I (like you) think they are the best. I'm not too bothered about the extra USB on the screen but what you say about power also is a problem Can I get a power supply as well as a connecting adapter?
PS - I was also hoping to be ale to use the Apple display to give me a better view when using my G3 iMac DVSE but it looks that's a gonner too!!

Xerox XA7-19i LCD display is still incompatible even with 10.4.8

I wrote a post around half year ago, but it was archived, so i open up a new thread since the problem is still unresolved.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=590802
Just reminder...
I've discovered some strange behaviour of my core duo mac mini with Xerox XA7-19i LCD display. This display worked well with 10.4.5, but after my upgrade to 10.4.7 my screen was blank and only blinked a little bit after booting. The only way was to put into sleep mode with the power button, and wake up with the keyboard to get it work. It was disgusting so i reinstalled osx and upgrade only to 10.4.6. Now it works, but i cannot see the booting of my computer i onyl see a black blinking during the boot. After that when it booted up totally a get the desktop. It's now a little bit better, but still strange.
With 10.4.8 the problem is the same as with 10.4.7, so apple has not changed anything, despite of my bug report.
I hope sombody will read this problem, and may have a solution for that!

Hi B4n4n;
If you feel that strongly about this question then talk to Apple. Here on this discussion you are talking to other Apple users like yourself. You can submit your feedback to Apple at OS X feedback.

Color management on LCD displays, need help

Dear all,
I know the same topic has been already raised so many times, but i just can't help to ask it again. I am sorry for that, I just realize I will at least get a concept of what to do next. Ppl here are helpful.
I don't own any Apple monitor. I have a Macmini, connected to a new SONY LCD display, SDM-HS95P, by DVI connector.
As everyone knows the situation of LCD monitors. They have higher contrast, brigther image that traditional CRT monitors. That's why photographers and graphic designers are blaming all the time.
And now, I face the same as they do. My monitor is no more "WYSIWYG". The red i have here, may become another red on printing. The yellow I have here, may become orange on CRT.
I calibrated with the Colorsync of OSX, I decreased the contrast and bright level of my monitor, but they dont help much.
Someone suggested here to purchase color management hardwares. Of coz i know they are helpful. But the point is, how can a little student to afford a such expensive hardware for only doing color management?
Apple displays are all in LCD these days, how does Apple help their users to overcome the mentioned situation?
I know this maybe just a never-ending question, but i think ppl here may come up with some new ideas in resolving this.
Please kindly help, much appreciate! Thanks!
regards,

Hi.
Apple cinema displays do not offer the user the ability to adjust the contrast. You need to be able to adjust contrast when calibrating the 2nd monitor to match the target white and black luminence values of the first monitor.
Contrast is needed in order to adjust the white luminence value of the monitor you are calibrating. You need to be able to adjust the black and white luminence values of monitor 2 when using the white and black luminence target values from monitor 1 if you want both monitors to be calibrated so that they use the same (same but seperate) profiles.
Colorvision (makers of spyder2 pro) has indicated that this is a huge issue with the ACD monitors and they are currently researching a workaround.
If anyone knows how to fix this... please tell me (us)... thanks.

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.
