Light leakage in the corner of screen

Hi, can someone help. I have light leakage
At the corners of my screen on the iphone
4s if i press down on the corner where the
Light is showing it goes so it seems as though
The casing comes away very slightly. Has
Someone else got this problem. And is it
A big issue or something that is just nothing
To worry about.

Without seeing how bad this is it's hard to comment. It won't affect the functioning of the iPhone but if you think it is excessive then take the phone to an Apple store for evaluation or contact Apple support.

Dead Maxx with with light in corner of screen

My daughter also has a Maxx, and she called me because she was charging the Maxx via usb, and she said the screen went black and she was unable to power up the phone. She did a hard reset and tried to power up and the phone never progressed past the droid animation and went black with a white light now in the corner of the phone. I told her to call tech support, but I just wanted to ask if this is the white light of death, looking at similar postings of this same event in the search function?

Spurs21 did you charge from the Computer or from the O.E.M cord an charger doing so from the Original equipment is the best way to go there have been many folks get burned by using the U.S.B hooked to the Computer. You might be able to get it to work if you can take the phones to the Store an have them flashed. You can also try pulling the Sim an then waiting a few seconds an re installing it Watch the Gold contact on the Sim. An i would try having a new Sim sent out but i know it must be frustrating to have a working phone to then have it Doink on ya. Good luck Buddy an i Hope there's a Quick solution for both of your phones Let us Know. B33

URGENT QUESTION/TOPIC ABOUT LIGHT LEAKAGE

okay, so after attempting to fix my light leakage on the side of the 3rd iphone I've had so far (because it's around an hour travel time to my "local" apple store), I noticed something odd. There is light spots visible on the BACK of the iPhone!! Yes, through the plastic. I was looking at pictures of the disassembled iPhone, and it's almost like someone forgot to put that black tape against the sides of the LCD/glass screen component. Does anyone else have this problem??
Go into a dark room, turn brightness all the way up, turn the phone around and place your hand against the screen of the iPhone to make it easier to view... The light should be visible through the Black (or white I assume) plastic near the left and right edges (kind of on the same line as the ringer volume adjust and silence switch.
Any comments would be appreciated as I need to get this phone replaced (if it needs to be) asap because I have to go back to college soon and there isn't an Apple store around for miles...
thanks guys!
PS: I'll try to post pics later

lol funny ...
i have had the same problem with 2 units in Canada.
UNACCEPTABLE.
I think apple forgot the quality control aspect of the making of the phone. Simple thing to do is return it. I returned both units. Apple needs to do a better job in ensuring this doesnt happen. Its an obivious problem and when you are forced to join a 2 to 3 yr term you expect to pay for what you get. I guess when Apple brought the phone down to 199$ the quality went right down. I'm on my 5th unit.
Best of luck ... I would exchange it!

Visible light leakage on ipad 3, very annoying

Just received my new ipad (32G wifi, black). After turning it on for the first time I noticed a visible light leakage at the top edge of the screen, it is at least one inch long and very annoying indeed! I've googled this issue and found that there are some others complaining about the same thing, while one guy mentioned that, for his device 'the leakage disappeared after 2 hours of use'. well, I've been using it for at least 3 hours and it doesn't seem to get even a little bit better. I'm quite disappointed as my ipad 2 has no such issue at all, not to mention that the new ipad seems to generate more heat, makes it uncomfortable to hold it like a book. I'm bringing it to my local store tmr, hopefully they can do sth about it.

I have this issue as well. I can see the backlight on the top left of the IPAD when held in portrait mode. To the left of the front facing camera. Can only be seen if you tilt the ipad almost horizontally. It doesn't appear to effect the screen quality so I’m not in a hurry to replace it. Maybe I’ll bring it in later before the warranty expires since it is actually a defect that should be covered.

Uneven backlighting and light leakage

OK, just booted up my new MBP and so far I'm pretty disappointed with the display. The backlighting is uneven and there is significant light leakage around the bezel. Furthermore, it doesn't seem to be even as bright as my 1GHz Ti book. I'm thinking that one of the lights in the MBP may be out.
Anybody else having similar issues? If most people have these great looking displays then I'm going to have to call Applecare and get it fixed.

Well, one thing is that it was pretty cold when it arrived. Having used it for a bit now, it looks better. Still not as awesome as I was expecting (the rest of the machine is absolutely great though). Unfortunately, I live no where near an Apple store, so I'm trying to decide if it is in fact flawed before I have to call Applecare and ship it back.
Thanks for the input.

Excessive light leakage from gap below some keys on MBP

Hi all, I got a top of the line 15" MBP a little while ago and recently noticed excessive light leakage from the little gap below some of the keys. It's really only noticable below the W and E keys when sitting or viewing from a certain angle. It can be quite annoying at times. I spoke to a couple of Apple support reps who said that it's common to some extent on most MBP's. I also took it in to my local Apple store, and they said it's "within spec". I was kind of hoping for a better answer after spending almost $2500 on the thing, but whatever. I came across several posts on various Apple forums with people posting about similar issues going back as far as 4-5 years, so obviously Apple hasn't done a great job addressing the issue.
I also noticed a little pinhole size blue light below my J key, which someone pointed out was probably just a logic board light. Are these things common on MBP's? I figure I can get a more honest opinion on here than from Apple support or "geniuses". Any help would be great, thanks!

Hi d,
The "light leakage" is not unusual - it's been on every MBP I've seen (if you look at it from the "right" angle). I'm sure there are better and worse keyboards due to manufacturing.

Tomorrow I will get my 3rd ipad2 due to light leakage!

I'll let you guys know how it works out, I will try a different store this time. I am a little mad about this issue.....

Look..in the scheme of important things in life, especially with all that is happening in Japan as I type this, the light leakage is no big deal....BUT..
Having spent over $1100.00 on my iPad 2 with all accessories and apple care, tax etc and replacing my original iPad that I had no issues with and having light leakage around the edges of the new one ... This is a situation that's not acceptable...especially with such a high ticket item...
If all of my LCD display tv's and pc monitors had this issue it would be a problem...
Apple needs to and most certainly will take care of this issue....Foxconn will have to eat a lot of displays I will tell you that...

Pro won't start. Instead get a black screen and a beeping every 2 seconds. LIght at front right corner of keyboard flashes in sequence with beeping.

If it is giving a single beep every two seconds, then it is not seeing any of the memory. You could try taking the back off, remove the memory module and reinsert to see if that corrects the problem. Or just take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs do that for you.
If you are uncertain about working on the memory modules, you can find on-line videos for doing so at OWC, http://www.macsales.com where you can see the procedure for your year, make and model of MacBook Pro.

The green button, top left corner of a pop-up screen on MACbook, it's supposed to enlarge the pop-up to full MAC screen size, correct? Mine does not. Sometimes it makes the pop-up screen SMALLER. Appreciate someone solving this for me.

Are you talking about the green '+' button in the top left corner? That technically doesn't enlarge it. It switches the window from the default window size to the custom size you made. You can enlarge the window by moving your mouse to the bottom right corner of the window, and dragging until you get the size you want.

You can find the serial number either in About this Mc in the Menu bar under the , or it should be on a sticker under the foot of the machine.
If you have the install discs, try booting from them, holding down the c key and then using Disk Utility to check the drive.
You can also boot into Safe mode
To start up into Safe Mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:
   1. Be sure the computer is shut down.
   2. Press the power button.
   3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
      Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
   4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During the startup in Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.9, you will see "Safe Boot" on the Mac OS X startup screen.
During the startup in Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login window, which appears even if you normally log in automatically.
Please post back with results,
To leave Safe Mode in any version of Mac OS X, restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.

I have an IPod 2nd generation I bought from a pawn shop. It worked for a day but now when I try to charge it, it keeps switching back and forth from the large full screen icon of a low battery and a lighting bolt below to the blue screen with the apple symbol in the middle. I had it on charge all night but still dead.

have a problem with my MacBook Pro.5,3 and monitor. Intermittently, the desk top screen becomes broken up into vertical sections, which appear in the wrong order, creating a haphazard picture.
The Apple icon, usually at top left corner, appears in top right corner in a strip including all that left hand. When the computer is restarted, the screen goes back to normal. But I have to move the mouse to the far left of the screen and then up until it reappears on the far right hand side of the screen so that I can hit shut down button.
It seems to happen randomly though always on desk top and sometimes when I move mouse and computer switches on from rest mode. My large flat screen is relatively new.
The video card on this computer, which is approximately two years old, is Nvidia FeForce 9400M.
Any help would be welcome as my usual source of assistance is not available and I am not well versed in workings of the Mac although I have used one for many years.

That sounds like a Hardware problem.
You may be able to confirm that with Apple Hardware Test, or make an appointmenst for a free Genius Bar evaluation.

When I'm on youtube and I'm watching a video, and I switch tabs or look at something else, the video from youtube will appear in the corner of my screen and won't leave.

Alright, lets say I'm watching a video on youtube. If I switch tabs, the video from youtube will appear in my top left screen and won't go away. Or if I go to any other site or program and try to open a file from my computer, the video will pop up in the corner again and I won't be able to see anything I need to. This sounds like a glitch or something. I just need to know how to fix it.

Does this only happen on specific pages?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

On my new 15" MacBook Pro (June 2011) using Calendar I click the corner arrow to enlarge the screen. Now it is MORE than full size. No arrow visible to return to small size. Menu bar can't be grabbed. I sweep and get back to desktop. No small screen?

I installed Lion on my newish 15" MacBook Pro. When using Calendar I click the corner arrow to enlarge the screen. Now ithe calendar is MORE than full size, no arrow visible to return to small size. The Menu bar doesn't respond. when I try grabbing it to move the whole screen sideways. When I sweep I get back to desktop. I can sweep back to the calendar, but can't make it small again. Menubar options include changing font size, but nothing about reverting to smaller window size. Any suggestions?

Why are the apps on my IPad scattered across the whole thing and when I open them they turn to little rectangles in the corner of the screen and I can't even use them or tap on anything. Also when I turn my iPad it doesn't flip the screen over

Hi The next thing to do is to Restore back to Factory Settings this will get rid of any bugs . After Restore use same Apple ID /Password then you should get all your Apps & data back If you still have this problem make an Appointment at Apple Store . Cheers Brian
