LCD Display Slightly Rotated Within iMac

I have a very subtle problem with my new 21.5-inch iMac, but it's disturbing me.
The LCD display is very slightly rotated clockwise within the body of the iMac. The top row of pixels is not totally parallel with the top line of the iMac. The top-left side of the LCD display is 2.6 cm from the top line of the iMac, whereas the top-right side is 2.7 cm.
I know it's just 1 mm, no big deal right? But I wonder, is this something that Apple would repair free of chair, given that the iMac is well within its 1-year warranty? Or am I just being too picky?

Can anyone offer any advice?
Is it common for the LCD panel inside a Mac to be slightly out of alignment, compared to the glass panel? I think the same degree of rotation is more noticeable on an iMac, compared to a MacBook, because the screen is so much wider/longer. What I mean by that is, the same angle of rotation on a MacBook would make one side of the LCD panel less than a 1 mm lower than it should be (i.e. immeasurable).
But, is 1 mm out something that Apple would happily fix, or am I just being too fussy a customer, expecting too much perfection?

  • Does the lcd display from first gen imac g5 fit in imac isight g5?

    hi

    UberRanger,
    I've had this issue too with my iMac G5, which I think I also bought around January of 2005. It started doing this around January or February of 2006, and I eventually discovered it was an issue with the logic board. Check your serial number (should be under the aluminum "foot") and see if it starts with any of these numbers:
    W8435xxxxxx - W8522xxxxxx
    QP435xxxxxx - QP522xxxxxx
    CK435xxxxxx - CK522xxxxxx
    YD435xxxxxx - YD522xxxxxx
    If it does, you may have the same logic board problem I did. The iMac G5's with serial numbers that started like the ones above were known by Apple to have issues. They offered a "repair extension program" to fix this (even if it was outside of AppleCare time limits), but the program is now closed. I am not sure about the exact way to diagnose this issue, but I hope this at least helps determine IF this might be the issue.

  • 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.

  • Where to buy imac G5 LCD display 17in

    Hi,
    I need to replace my imac G5 display. It develops two approx 1.5in black blobs at the bottom left screen, after rainwater got into it and seep into it.
    I have dismantled the imac and got access to the LCD. Remove the rust spots on the frame and check that it is dry. Put everything back but I dont seem able to remove the blobs and some vertical lines.
    The problem is confined to the right half of the screen..and the blobs and vertical lines are stable (not growing).
    I think if I replace with a good LCD display, I should be able to get back my Imac into shape.
    Anyone has experience replacing the imac G5 LCD. (D-I-Y).

  • I have photos that are rotated within a photo stream created from a project even though the photo displays properly within the project. How can I get the photos to have the proper rotation within the photo stream?

    I have a photo stream that was created from a subset of photo from a rather large Aperature project. Some of the photos show up rotated within the photo stream but are not rotated within the project. Why is this happening and how do I fix the rotation within the photo stream? I do have the latest version of Aperature and have all of the necessary updates applied to my devices used to view the photo stream. The photos do show up rotated within the photo stream segment of Aperature, so I am sure it is not an issue with the output device (iPad and Apple TV). I do know that I cannot edit photos within a photo stream, but no amount of editing within the project allows the photos to be properly rotated within the photo stream. All help would be greatly appreciated.

    That will work, but it is the long way 'round.
    As Frank noted, Book Albums are just specialized Albums.  Albums can show any Image in your Library, regardless of where the Album is located on the Library Inspector, and regardless of which Project contains the Image.  You can put your Albums anywhere (in a Folder called "Books" for example).  You can put Images from anywhere in your Library in any Album.
    The easy way 'round:
    - Make a new Book Album
    - Select Images you may want to put in your Book.  Flag them.
    - Select some more.  Flag them.
    - Go to the "Flagged" container (listed near the top of the Library Inspector), select all, and drag-and-drop them to your Book Album.
    - Repeat as needed, or just drag-and-drop directly into the Book Album.
    Note that you can remove any Image from any Album (including Books) by selecting and hitting the "{Delete}" key.  This _does not remove the Image from the Project that contains it, or from the Library.
    Note, too, that once the Images are in your Book Album, you then put them in the Book you are creating for publication.  The Book Album contains the superset of Images with which you populate the Book itself.  The Book Album also holds the Book.
    A good (imho ) introduction to the parts of Aperture can be found in this short guide I wrote.
    The User Manual is helpful.  Here is
    the chapter on making Books. 
    From that chapter, here is
    the section detailing how to create and populate a Book Album.

  • 17" Studio LCD Display connect to G3

    I recently purchased a 17" Studio LCD Display which came with an ADC to DVI adapter.
    Then I picked up an adapter, but it was the wrong kind. It was DVI to VGA which still required the present VGA/G3 adapter ... the connection was going through three adapters that way. The monitor didn't light up. When I pressed the On/Off button (bottom right on front of display) the button lit up while my finger was on it and then faded to dark when I removed my finger. The system did not recognize the connection on the pci card either. I was able to hook everything up physically but the display didn't go on.
    When I plugged the UBS pigtail in, my system could see and recognize the monitor on the UBS port. So apparently, the driver software won't be a problem.
    Rather than putzing with adapters and connectors, I'd prefer to swap out the VGA card with a DVI video card for the G3. Is there such a video card available for the G3?
    Is this even feasible?
    The reason I need to keep this G3 is because it has a SCSI port (running Classic 9.2.2) which I require for an expensive high end scanner. Until I can find a comparable unit compatible with my new iMac I'd like to keep the G3 but would really like to hook up the lcd display on it.
    Any ideas?

    Exactly my problem too (and many others surely!)
    I have a macbook and a 17" LCD studio display which has a plug with 30 pins. As understand it, it is a DVI-I dual ink.
    I was about to buy the DVI adaptor from the mac store as it would appear to do the job but I learned that it is DVI-D and not DVI-I as is required. I searched for another picture of this adaptor (the pic on the mac store is decidely unhelpful) and it is clear from looking at it that it will not fit.
    Anyone know what to do here?

  • Officejet 6500 709e LCD display doesn't display all pixels

    A week ago my wired printer stopped displaying all the pixels on the LCD display.  I can't, at this point, understand anyhting on the first or second lines.  So I don't know how much ink I have in each cartridge (which usually shows on the second line), because random pixels show up, not all of them, for each cartridge.
    Important to note:  The LCD display does not add extra pixels to the display.  It just leaves out pixels where there should be pixels.  So if it's intstalling a new in cartridge, I can't understand anything showing on the first line of the display because only a few pixels display as it's configuring the new cartridge.
    Is there a way to fix this?
    My printer, by the way, says it's "not connected to the computer" when I press the wrench button and then a help choice on the printer, but I have no problem printing from my laptop (HP Pavilion dv5-2074dx).
    Is there a way to fix my LCD display?  I've had the printer less than a year...

    Hello Jane0218,
    To be honest, I don't think that there would be much to do in this case. I think your best bet is to contact the HP support for your country and see if they can help you. If you bought the printer less than a year ago it is still within warranty so that shouldn't be a problem.
    Here you can find the support numbers for the US:

  • 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.
    http://support.apple.com/specs/displays/AppleStudioD
    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!!

  • Introduction of LCD display

    LCD display, known as LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), belongs to a flat panel display. Used for TV and computer screen.
    【Introduction】
         Liquid crystal display (LCD) used in digital watches and many portable computers. LCD display uses two pieces of polarized material, between them is the liquid crystal solution . Current through the liquid crystal will rearrange so that the light is not available through them. Thus, each crystal is as shutters, not only can allow light through but also can block it. Liquid crystal display (LCD) technology are now moving toward to light, thin, short, and small, he traditional CRT display which has a long history in computer peripheral products, display is also no exception.Under the title of easy to carry and transport, the tranditional display method such as CRT display and LED display boards, etc., are subject to too large or even giant power consumption and other factors, can not reach the user's actual needs. The liquid crystal display technology development is in line with the current trend of information products, no matter in right-angle display, low power consumption, small size, or zero radiation, etc., all can allow users to enjoy the best of the visual environment.

    LED is just the method of backlighting. The display panel is still LCD. Typical LCD panels (including iMac and some other Apple LCDs) still use CCFL (Cold cathode fluorescent lamp) for backlighting. The unibody MacBooks (and the LED Cinema Display) have moved on use LEDs.
    So they are still LCD displays in either case. The only difference is the source of the backlighting. LEDs are supposed to provide more even lighting, if designed right. They also do not fade in brightness over time and use, like CCFLs, and are more energy efficient.

    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?

  • Lcd display at "M127FN"

    Hello,
    I bought the M127FN printer few days ago.
    when i turn it on, i don't see any lights at the lcd display and it's hard to read.
    I saw at Youtube a guide how to install this product and when the man turned it on, there were lights at the display.
    am i wrong? doesn't this printer have lights at the lcd display?
    thanks for your help.
    Idan

    Hello idanushi,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    Regarding the LaserJet Pro MFP M127fn display screen issues on the initial setup, I would like to offer some suggestions. It looks to me that the power button and the screen light up on this printer, the M127fw display is a full color touch screen with more lights.
    You want to ensure that the protective tape was removed from the display screen, this can cause the display to be darker. The display can be tilted as well, some times it needs to be tilted to catch the needed light to fully see the screen. I tried to locate a contrast option within the printers menu, there is not one.
    The printer could not be getting the needed amount of electricity, it would be a good idea to connect the printer to a wall outlet directly if not already. HP has created this document: Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector to help explain why you should not use power bars.
    I hope this information has helped, if not you might want to call HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here.
