My G72 notebook screen is very garbled but i can plug in another screen and it works perfectly.

Is this a common problem with the G 72? Does my warranty cover it?

Remove the machine from any external monitors (make sure to remove from the laptop side-sometimes people remove the cable from the monitor side-).
If docked, remove from dock.
Shut machine down, unplugg from power source and remove battery. Without replacing battery or attaching to ac power, "turn machine on" hold power button down for 10-20 seconds.
Re-install battery and power (make sure not to connect anything else). Do you see the "Thinkpad/Lenovo/IBM" splash screen? If you don't, shut the machine down and try to "shine a flashlight" into the screen...due you see a 'faint" image on the LCD?
If you do, then it could be due to several reasons in this order:
Inverter
LCD (backlight)
Motherboard.
There is a "switch" that tells the laptop when the LCD is closed or open, I had this problem on one and it turned out to be nothing more than "dust bunnies" building up on this switch...YMMV
Good luck.
Currently own: X220T, X201, X200, T61 X2, X61T X3

Why does the same page freeze on both ipad and iphone, but I can go to an android and it works perfectly

I have an ipad 3rd generation 64 and iphone 5. both operating on ios 8.1.1. The problem is when I attempt to submit an order to avon, it freezes. I can fill in the numbers for the orders but only to the point of SUBMIT ORDER. I can't even log off the page..I can go through the whole process on an android phone perfectly. I don't understand why it freezes at that point.Is it safari causing this problem? I have cleared history and website data. Restarted the devices to no avail..Probably started when updated at ios 8... believe it run ok on ios7...Any solutions to this problem will be greatly appreciated.....THX

To add to Arron's question. I have also updated my IPhone4 with the IOS 5 and ICloud. The photo albums I had on my phone are now gone and I have recieved an email from ICloud that my storage is nearly full. When I try to access photo stream it indictes no photos. What happened to my photo albums and how do I access what is being stored.

Does this only happen with the tracks you have downloaded from the iTunes Store? Perhaps you should work the suggestions in this Apple support document first.

My ipad screen has gone black and I don't know what to do the screen still works and I can still unlock it and I can still type. But I don't know what to do can anyone help me it will be much appreciated

If the reset doesn't do it then it's possible that the backlight or another part of your screen has broken. Unfortunately it's not really user servicible. I'd make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out. If your device is still under warranty and they don't determine that the damage was the result of 'abuse or neglect' (their words) then it could be a free replacement.
I'd just do a backup before you take it in, just in case.

MBP froze now screen is very dimmed but still on froze screen

Hi guys, earlier today I was using my 2012 MBP with not too many programs open. The computer then froze and I let it sit for a bit but it was still frozen. I then shut the computer lid and then the screen was black. I had thought it was turned off but I just realized the screen is extremely dimmed but I can just make Out the words. It's still on the same screen. I have turned the brightness up and I have made a genius appointment.
Thanks,

Alright guys, I took the computer to apple and they said because it's so new they would give me a new one.

My iphone is gray or black it is functioning but you can not see the screen so I can not call or text or anything

My iphone is gray or black it is functioning but you can not see the screen so I can not call or text or anything, I have a child that is very ill and I have to have access to a phone at all times can someone help me? It happened one other time when I plugged it in to my to listen to music. I know it is working it said something on voice control. I tried the press the circle button and the top button but the screen only turned white?

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

My iPhone has an option for a Vietnamese keyboard that works very well but I can get my MacBook Pro to work the same way. Why is that?

My iPhone has an optio for a Vietnamese keyboard that works very well but I can't get the same results on my Mac Book Pro. Why is that? Am I typing some thing wrong? There are no pop-ups when I use the Vietnamese keyboard on my laptop or desktop.

I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well.

I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well. However, itunes can not do anything with the phone because the phone is locked and I can not unlock the phone because the screen is black.
>CURVEBALL!!!<
The screen does work though! Through trial and error along side a little troubleshooting, I was able to figure out that the screen will cut on after the phone dies completely. The phone has to die completely with no battery power left. Then if I plug the phone into a charge and wait a while for it to charge, the phone will turn on like nothing was ever even wrong with it. I charge the phone up to like 30% and turn it off then bam the phone turns on but the screen is solid black again.
I am currently in the process of waiting for the phone to die and when I turn the phone back on I am going to completely remove the auto-lock and lock code off of the phone for the time being.
Any other suggestions? Please help!

Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

Hello, so today I realized that my iPhone with iOS 6 is frozen on the music. I can get back to the home screen but I can't get the music player to work because its frozen on the w's and will not respond to touch. I would be grateful for any help on this.

Hi deamayfield,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your Music app is unresponsive, try restarting/resetting your iPhone:

My iphone 4s is working but I can not see the screen.

my iphone 4s is working but I can not see the screen. What is going on?

Possibly backlight died, if you look at it closely in bright light can you see a "Shadow" of the screen image?
First, back up your phone

Then, restore the OS from scratch

If that doesn't work, you'll need to have the phone serviced
