Macbook Pro uneven lighting

High guys,
I'm having this light bleed on with dark backgrounds. I was wondering if this is normal and if there is really a chance of solving this if I take it back for replacement. Thanks in advance.
(some fotos would be appreciated )

I have it too.  What, if anything, was your resolution?
full display brightness - no keyboard backlighting
lowest display brightness - no keyboard backlighting

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    What MacBook Pro have you got? Only Unibody MacBooks Pro (Late 2008 and newer) have a backlit keyboard. If you have one of these MacBooks Pro, you can set up its illumination in System Preferences > Keyboard. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4882

    Do other USB devices work on your MBP?
    Does this USB stick work on other MBPs?
    There is a possibility that the stick requires more power than the MBP delivers.  Try it on a powered hub.

  • Macbook Pro charger light is orange.

    Macbook Pro charger light is orange. I has always been green before. This time I got a "low battery" warning at about 20%. When I plugged in charger it went immediately to zero and the light is orange. Problem?

    Note that if your machine has a built-in battery, it doesn't need to be calibrated.

  • Macbook Pro Uneven display backlight

    Hi

    sometimes its even worese
    the display also flickers sometimes very lighyly (at 50hz etc.)
    also
    is there a good reason that while probing apples site
    i could not find a single support e-mail address ?
    cheers.

    If the screen lighting is as bad as the photo seems to demonstrate, then yes, it's definitely a problem that would be covered by warranty. The screen should never actually flicker, though, since an LCD is refreshing pixel-by-pixel at 60hz, perhaps your brightness settings keep changing? If not, then it could even be the inverter (if you're using one of the CFL (pre-Santa Rosa) models). Either way, I'd try to get over to your nearest Apple Store when you can.

  • No sound on my Macbook pro, red light.

    My Macbook Pro won't play anything out loud, through the speakers, like when i have to watch a video or hear some music, i have to put my headphones in the Macbook, and then it can play the sound, but if i take them out, there are no sound and there is a red light where the headphones are supposed to be plugged in (The video or music continue playing, i just can't hear it).
    I read something about "International speakers" and it's stuck on a speaker in settings, and to solve it, you just have to play some music with the headphones in the computer, and then take them out of the computer, while the music is playing, and then it should work - but it didn't work.
    I've tried to turn off the macbook for a long time and then start it up, didn't work. I've tried to just normally restart it, didn't work either.
    The problem just came suddenly, I didn't do anything specific before it happened, one day it just didn't work, which is about 3 weeks ago now.
    My Macbook pro is 2 years old in May, and i've updated it with anything that IOS said i should.
    Hope you guys know what i can do.

    Try the following: I
    nsert the earphone jack several times.
    Blow real hard into the audio output port. Use compressed air if you have it.
    Take a cocktail stirrer or a tooth pick and wiggle it inside the port.
    The internal switch is stuck when you see the red light.
    Ciao.

  • Some of macbook pros display lights not working???

    i recently went to beijing with my macbook pro, by air. After i came back to shanghai i went to open my macbook pro once i got home from the airport. Something weird happened, when i opened the macbook pro the display had long black lines going vertically about 6 1 cm thick lines. it kinda looked like a stripped pattern.... once i shut it down and waited for about 2 minutes until i turned it on the lines were gone. ( i think the lines were because the back light did not light up) I was wondering if anybody else had this problem and if it had something to do with riding on the plane with me. this only happened once (today) and I think it was something to do with the plane. thins was the first trip on a plane with the macbook pro so i don't know if that was the problem. please reply

    Yep, I have this same problem. Looks like a few other people on the forum do, too. For me, though, it's not a random thing ... my screen is always "striped." I've never dropped it or anything. Here's a photo of what the screen looks like:

    My guess is that this is relatively easy for Apple to fix. Take your computer into an Apple store or ship it in for a repair. That's what I'm going to do, anyway.

  • 2011 MacBook Pro-Sleep light blinks 3 times, doesn't start

    Hi there, I was just given a 2011 MacBook Pro 15'-8GB RAM, 2.2Ghz...the medium spec'd model if I am correct.  It worked fine for a little while, but now whenever I plug it into power, it does one of two things.  Either it attempts to come on, hard drive spins up...and then the sleep light flashes 3 times and it powers down.  OR, as soon as it gets plugged in it powers cycles indefinately until I unplug it.  The sleep light comes on for maybe a second, and the hard drive spins up, then it shuts back off and repeats this until I unplug it. 
    Nothing has been changed from it's stock configuration to I am relatively sure that it isn't a simple RAM problem.
    Any help is appreciated. 
    Please note that I have already tried things like clearing the SMC and reseating the RAM.

    Means bad memory.

  • MacBook Pro 17 - Light from the right ...

    Brand new MacBook Pro 17. When i dim the screen brightness with F1 until complete darkness and then press F2 the light "starts" in the right of the screen and flows to the left.
    You can watch it move. It looks like a curtain is drawn to the left.
    Is that normal?
    The right side of the screen is a little bit brighter than the left. Is that tolerable?
    Thank you.
    MacBook Pro 17, 2.33   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    That would indicate a standing wave inside the flourescent tube. Sort of like fretting a guitar string. It shouldn't be doing that. If it is reliably reproducible, I would take it to an Apple Store or other certified repair facility and have it looked at.

  • Macbook pro sleep light stays and won't charge or start up

    Closed my macbook pro 2011 model before work today (it had barely any battery power left) and came home to a problem. The sleep indicator was on but very was dim and my charger would not work. I noticed that the green light would come on but very faintly and my computer would not start up either. I am curious to what may have caused this problem.

    Also the battery level indicator would not work.

  • My MacBook Pro keyboard light is out. How do I correct it?

    The light on my keyboard is out. Does anyone know how to fix it ?

    I just got my Macbook Pro back from Apple replacing the motherboard. A few days later, trying to use it in a darkened room, I noticed that the keyboard backlight wasn't going. So I tried all the techniques given here, even resetting the SMC a few times, no luck.
    I opened up the case, using the iFixit screenshots (from http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook-Pro-15-Inch-Unibody-Mid-2010-Logic-Board-Rep lacement/3097/2 ) to tell me where the keyboard backlight cable would be connected, and what do you know? The repairers haven't even left that cable in the machine, let alone just forgotten to plug it in or something.
    So, bottom line: IF your computer is recently back from repair, it MAY be that they haven't connected the keyboard backlight cable.
    My computer now has to go back to Apple to fix, again. (I'm not blaming anyone: these things are pretty darned fiddly to fix, and anyone could leave out one tiny little ribbon cable... I just wish that it hadn't happened.)

  • Macbook pro chargring light goes dim.

    Whats wrong?

    I forgot to mention that I was using a 65w charger on my 85w macbook pro for about a month, then the charger gave out from the wires being loose inside since it would work finre if i move it in a certain position and today i borrowed my friends 85 w charger and now its just a green dim light and says it wont charge.

  • Macbook pro charger light flickering, tried smc reset and undoing cord in back inside computer, nothing working....

    I have tried to do everything I can find in previous forums, ex: smc reset, removing back panel and undoing cord for a min, nothing seems to work, any ideas please.

    There are no settings Readers can suggest you change for different results.
    Your appointment at the Genius Bar for an evaluation is FREE, in warranty or out. These guys put their hands on these Macs all day every day, and Power and other Physical Problems is what they are good at.
    Plus they have lots of spare parts they can swap around to figure out what it is doing in a hurry.

  • Adapter light stays on even after removing from MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Pro. I noticed something odd last night. When I remove the adapter from the MacBook Pro (you know, the magnetic end that attaches to the MacBook Pro), the light on the adapter still stays green/on. I actually have to unplug the adapter from the wall outlet to make the light turn off. This never happened before.
    Has anyone seen this before? Any advice?
    Thanks.

    I think that the light is controlled by the middle pin in the connector. Check it very carefully with a magnifying glass to see if any of the pins are bent or if there is any metalic dust in there.

  • MacBook pro fails to wake up after opening the lid

    My MacBook pro screen lights up briefly after opening the lid from a sleeping status.  However the screen then turns off and the only remedy is to force a shutdown by holding down the on/off button and then restarting it.

    My "nearest" local Apple Store is almost 40 km far from where I live...It's clearly a softwere problem and yes, It's not new for Apple. I hope they consider this annoying problem and fix it as soon as possible. I also noticed that doing a "Verify Disk" via Disk Utility an error accours by checking the free space of the HDD. It's suggested to repair the disk immediatly (bold red alarm pops out ) rebooting the system and using the tools under the CMD-R startup. By the way, ignoring the problem and by just verify the disk again, the error maigcally disapper into the void...that's weird !
    I hope somethings will come out, I'm really, really annoyed by this problem and i don't want to run in some data loss or HDD failure because i really need my Mac for work (as, i think, most of us )!
