Macbook a1181 display blanks out replaced the lcd inverter still blanking out

Replaced inverter still blanking out.

OK--so this is an original MBP. You are in the late 2008-early 2009 section of the forum, so I am going to request that your post be relocated to the original MBP section.
Have you tried an external display? If you get good graphics on an external, it will be further conformation that the graphics chip is OK.
I am puzzled as to why the original display worked, but two separate replacements did not. I have heard of the brightness indicator getting stuck all the way to the left, so that the display remains black. Can you see the desktop at all by shining a bright light through the apple? If so, maybe you could go to System preferences>Desktop and see if the slider is stuck, and if so, move it to the right.
Good luck!

Display burn in - Apple does not want to replace the LCD

Recently my iMac 24” LCD display began to have “screen burn ins“ or image persistence on the LCD. I have done extensive online research about the issue, I tried setting my screensaver to pure white and running the apple screensaver to resolve the issue. I did not use my computer any more extensively than any of my other macs, so the image burn in came as a surprise to me this early in the Mac’s life span. I understand that the issue exists, and would not surprise me if my computer was several years old and it was never turned off. I will have to argue that the “screen burn in” happened too early for my iMac.
I took my iMac to an Apple store and waited to speak with a Genius and have a diagnosis. After the Genius ran his diagnosis he said that I am out of warranty, however he agreed with me that it was too early for something like this to happen. He proposed that my LCD screen would be replaced, and said that he would give me a break and make a “one time warranty exception and not charge me for the new LCD and replacement based on the circumstance.” The genius placed an order for an LCD panel for my iMac, printed out the work order and shook my hand, I was extremely grateful thanked the Genius for making such an exception.
After leaving my iMac in the store for repairs for 5 days, with excitement and anticipation I picked up my iMac which was claimed to be “fixed”. I got home opened up the box and plugged in the iMac and the first thing that I noticed was a dead pixel that I recognized from the old LCD, what are the odds of the new display having a dead pixel in the exact same spot? I called back to the apple store with my repair number at hand and confirmed that my LCD was never replaced.
I thought to myself, maybe they fixed it, but just to be safe I used the computer until I noticed nothing changed the “burn in issue” is still here. So I created a background image in photoshop to purposely leave on for an hour as proof of the problem. I called back to the apple store early in the morning and talked with the technical center, the girl on the phone said “I remember your mac” I thought we had it fixed. I asked to make sure that the LCD that was ordered for the sole purpose of fixing the burn in issue which I had was still at the store, it was confirmed that it was.
I came by the apple store and a different Genius looked at my computer, saw the excessive burn in. He ran the “Flurry” Screen saver, which helped remove the current burn in but was still not fully removed. He then told me that they would not replace the LCD, and that I should set my screen saver to every 5 minutes and lower the brightness to reduce the load on the screen. I argued that even if I can get rid of the problem after running the screensaver for at least an hour, the burn in just keeps coming back, and fast too.
I came home setup the screensaver settings and began using my machine, not using it for even more than an hour I saw the burn ins from the store and some new ones that came from my doc, and finder window and shadow lines distorting the entire screen, almost making it look like mud lines.
I took a few pictures with a DSL camera at the highest resolution, but I am not sure if this shows enough to really show:
Doc burned in:

#2 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1477936/apple/DSC_0754.jpg (need to make it 100% to see)
Does any one know what I should do now?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I think that regardless that this was a different Genius, the Apple Store has made a commitment to you to repair the iMac out of warranty and should honor this commitment. I would go back to the Apple Store and speak directly to the Store Manager with your original paperwork in hand for the repair that was not completed.
Should you not receive satisfaction from the Store Manager then I would call Apple Care and immediately ask to have your call escalated to a Customer Care representative. Explain the issue to the rep and ask for their assistance in receiving the repair commitment originally made to you by the Apple Store.
Have all necessary paperwork for the committed repair at hand during your phone conversation. Take notes. Get the name and the position of each person to whom you speak. Speak firmly but politely. Do not get angry or make any threats. The minute you mention a lawyer or any other such threat the conversation will be over and Apple will fall back on the fact the Mac is out of warranty and any opportunity of getting a repair will likely be gone.

I replaced the LCD Digitizer and now phone says no service

Can anyone help me figure out why since replacing the LCD Digitizer my phone shows no service all the time and I can't make a call or send a text?

The antenna connector is not connected correctly. It is the simple snap on small round connector attached to the black wire from the speaker dock antenna. It attaches near the battery connector.

My iCloud calendar on Outlook 7 (64 bit) no longer displays any information but the info is still availble to send by email. so it seems it's n the background on the my PC but doesn't display. Also the information is in the iCloud on-line calendar

. My iCloud calendar on my Lenovo Tablet PC running Outlook 7 (64 bit) suddenly stopped displaying any appointments. The data is still on my iPhone 4S and online in the iCloud server. Also strangely when I start typing a new appointment it displays the typing until I press ENTER when it disappears - BUT appears on my iPHONE! Seems like an OUTLOOK display problem.

You need to set 0 margin and padding on the body tag. Copy
the following
into the head of your document just before the closing head
tag (/head>)
Preferably it should go into an external stylesheet, but by
the sounds of
things you are not using this as yet.
<style type="text/css">

</style>

Once you have added the above to your page, you need to save
the page as a
Template. You will be asked to create an editable region
(which is the area
that will be changed on each child page created from this
template).
The DW help files do offer some information on how to create
Template
pages - that may be the first stop for you :-)

Try quitting all applications before shutting down. One may be hanging and preventing a normal shutdown.

Can I replace the LCD with an LED on Early 2009 24" model?

I have an old 2009 (okay, so not that old) iMac and the LCD has some serious burn-in and it's to the point where I can't use the computer without it hurting my eyes. I'm looking to replace the screen, but the computer still works great and I don't want to have to do this again in four to five years. Any chance I can take an LED display from a 24" Cinema Display and put it in the iMac, or are the connections different?

Personally I would use a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter, DVI cable and a $130 DVI monitor, before shelling out for a $500 to $600 for a replacement panel. Or at least until your 100% sure, that there is nothing wrong with the logicboard or graphic's chip.
Optionally a Belkin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable would be an even cheaper setup, if you already have an HDMI TV.
Addtitionally I would probably just replace the iMac with another iMac or Mac Mini, because it is real hard to justify spending anything at all on a 5 year old system.

Replacing the LCD panel in my 23" Apply Cinema monitor (A1082)

Hi,
I have a 23" cinema screen (A1082) which has a cracked LCD panel. I've order a replacement LCD panel but how do I take my existing monitor apart in order to change the LCD panel out? There doesn't appear to be any screws to dismantle the screen...... thanks

1) Using a thin tool like a screwdiver, pry off the side plastic strips from the top down. Older units are harder as the glue is applied more generously. It helps if you warm it first, lets say with a blowdryer.
2) It is easier if you remove the stand hinge pins using a 6mm allen wrench. You can probably get away skipping this step if you don't mind more work later.
3) With a small phillips head, remove the side retainer brackets.
4) At the bottom where the clamshell joins, pull a small tab which slides a hooked retainer releasing the clamshell. Older units may have one on each end, newer units have one at only one end.
5) Pop apart the clamshell and slide the guts out.
Good luck finding replacement parts for these. Mine has a logic board that died in a power failure and I am stuck with finding a broken display and buying it for the working parts. Unfortunately Apple does not sell the parts to end users.

I got my phone repaired by apple a few weeks ago and got a new glass display put in and the entire screen is falling out of the housing and the home button is not working I'm more than disappointed with this service

I paid for this service to fix my glass on my phone and now the entire LCD display is not working and after my repair the home button stopped working and I went back and they told me it was like that before the repair which it wasn't and they are telling me I need to pay 300 plus for a replacement phone that's refurbished now I don't understand apples support is suppose to be the best in the business and I have been more then ripped of the service I got damaged my phone more than it was before I would like to know where I can go to talk to someone who will help me not tell me it's my fault this is outrageous!!!

Take the issue up with whomever replaced the device, whether that is Apple or another company.
There is nothing that we, your fellow users, in these user to user support forums can do for you.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

Anybody have problems restoring Iphone 4 for verizon after replacing the LCD

anybody have problems restoring Iphone 4 for verizon after replacing the LCD

i didnt replace the screen on my verizon iphone, but i have had several problems in the past with restoring, however they are always easily solved for me by plugging into another computer and restoring from there once its restored off that computer you can then plug back into your computer and put your info back on.
also remember to copy the ipsw from your iphone software updates folder onto a flash drive and onto the computer you are using to update to save yourself form downloading the ipsw on that computer (if it is not already on that computer). then just do an option restore by holding option key when you hit restore and select the ipsw you want to restore to.
hope this helps
