My HP plasma TV picture goes dark after turning on for about 5 minutes. Can this be repaired?

Would it be better to just trash this tv and buy a new one? Sorry to use this board but the menu option to find the correct board wouldn't work.

You're apparently in the hairy edge of ambient light being just barely dark enough to justify dimming the screen.

6288 - screen goes dark after 15 seconds

Hi
Have just purchased a 6288. Screen goes dark after 10 - 15 seconds if you don't touch the keypad - very annoying if reading a message. Have turned Power saver and sleep mode off, but screen still goes dark. Does anyone know how to stop it from doing this?
Thanks

Yes it is quite annoying. The screen saver time out does little to remedy this. A way around it that I use is to reassign the navikeys. you can dictate what each button does :go to menu > settings > my shortcuts > navigation key. my up goes to contacts, left goes to new message, right goes to music player and down does nothing. so every time the screen goes black, I just hit the down key to turn it back on.

In the worst case, it's still under warranty (all 7th gen nanos are still under one year from purchase).
So, you disconnect it from power, and it almost immediately goes dead? You can try a Restore... but it doesn't sound like the type of problem a Restore will fix.
You should probably have it looked by Apple Tech Support. If there's an Apple Store nearby, you can take it to the store's Genius Bar. To avoid waiting, you can make a reservation at the store's web page

Screen goes dark after dialing

When I place a call using my contacts or my keypad, the screen goes dark after hitting the green "send" button. It stays dark until I hang up. How do I get the screen light to stay on when I place a call?

This phone has a sensor if you put the phone to your face or even put your hand over to near the top of the screen it will go dark. There is a sensor to prevent false activation of the touch screen.
I found when my phone is working on the car adabter it goes dark rather fast when I make a call. I use a Bluetooth earphone most of the time with this phone. I don't feel comfortable holding it to my ear.
If I see the screen go dark and I need access, I simply run my finger up from the bottom of the screen to bring it back to life.
I am going to look in to this part of the phones operation a little more closely to see if there is anything else I can bring up about this...

My macbook 3.1 screen goes dark after a period of use; but if i readjust the screen (close it to about a 30 degree angle) the screen light is on again

my macbook 3.1 screen goes dark after a period of use; but if i readjust the screen (close it to about a 30 degree angle) the screen light is on again. i don't have an external monitor, so i just deal with it. i'm about done dealing with it and am wondering if anyone else had/has this problem, and how did you solve it?

You have a hardware problem. It needs to be fixed.
Contact Apple using www.apple.com/support/contact if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the MacBook in to an Apple retail store or service provider to ask for an estimate.

Time Machine light goes dark after 20 seconds with power?

Mac can't find my own network with TM. The TM seems to be plugged in, but no lights.
I pull the electric plug, wait ten seconds and try again. Yellow light is normal for 20 seconds, or so, then goes dark.
My TM is about 4 years old. Do they just die without a whimper?

Unfortunately, most Time Capsules do not live beyond 3 years of age.
You might want to consider having the Time Capsule repaired. Apple will not do this for you, but there are some servicers who can. Check the link for Time Capsule Repairers in the document below provided by forum expert LaPastenague.
A local shop might be able to do the repair as well using the information in the link.

IMac G5 tries to start and dies after spinning cog for a minute

iMac G5 tries to start and dies after spinning cog for a minute
I did this;
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
the result was.
the 'permissions' are sometimes wrong, but they repair
the hard drive is either repaired or OK
the iMac will then restart and work fine and sometimes shut down and restart OK
after replacing the Hard Drive I actually thought I had fixed it and went to bed late but happy,
on waking in the morning, however I was not so happy it fired up and then died after dong -> apple logo -> spinning cog -> dead!!
I would be grateful for any help
Thanks
Pete

Hi Miriam,
Thanks yes,
here we go -- after running disc utilities it tells me directory OK and disk OK (or something like that) When I replaced the Hard Drive, I started 'fresh' erased/formatted the hard drive (new Seagate Barracuda 7200 500GB) and it has just got 'tiger' on it (and upgraded to whatever it is now I think I remember 4.11, I can't tell at the moment as I have got the back off) I didn't transfer any data I just took the old drive (Seagate 160GB) out and stuck the new one in.
I've just changed the battery (I didn't really think it would work, but I was still hopeful and I'd bought the battery anyway) I did the LED thing, the internal power button thing, and the resetting the SMU thing (with crossed fingers and bated breath) but -- so I'm thinking is it the power supply? I read some of Jim's weighty, but worthy tome and resolved to remove the power supply and have a look. On opening it up, it does look as though, one (at least) of the capacitors has 'blown' (by the way, just in case I sound like I know what I'm talking about, I don't of course, I'm just quoting Jim's words;-) I'd love to send you a picture of the inside of the power supply showing what I believe to be a 'blown' capacitator (and I'm going to try to send one to Jim as I think it might be useful to him and others. can I attach a photo in any way or would you like to send me your email address <Edited by Moderator>
Thanks
Pete
PS it's still 'weird' to me, why it starts and runs well, when started from tiger (or whatever) and then starts or restarts from the Hard Drive unless I leave it a few hours and come back and try to start it
again? wow it's late nearly 4.00am here in london UK.

Had a new hard drive installed last month. now iphoto won't start up, popup says "you can't open the application iphoto because it may be damaged or incomplete. can this be repaired without going to the repair shop?

What installed iPhoto there in the first place? Was it the same version of iPhoto that came with the Mac? Was iLife added at a later time from a Mac Box Set? You can selectively install iPhoto, and then apply the appropriate iLife update without taking it to the shop, after removing the application, or recover it from your backup.

My screen is really faded, after it shut down (overheated I think) after being on for about an hour.

My screen is really faded, after it shut down (overheated I think) after being on for about an hour. Its kind of like how you see the world, when you get out of a pool that has too much chlorine.
I have tried shutting down, and re-starting. I have re-calibrated.
I have tried changing brightness.
Nothing works so far.
HELP

Wait a few hours before restarting it, also post actual temps. You can download iStatPro for free, once you have restarted, download it and post the actual temps.
Also try resettng the PRAM and SMC, do each multiple times. If you don't know how please click Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets

BSOD after using firefox for a minute.

Not sure what happened exactly but here's the details.
Basically I run using my on board Gigabit lan when at home on my desktop, however my girlfriends router is not on same level as her computer so wireless is necessary. I purchased a D-Link 160 dual band usb adapter to connect at her place. I installed the drivers then plugged in the adapter as instructed. Everything was fine at her house. When I got home I went back to my Gigabit hardware again. My computer ran fine IE10 worked fine but for some reason after using Firefox for about a minute it would crash my computer BSOD. Facebook, Google, trying to research issue so basically any website caused the problem. So I thought it could have been the D-Link drivers but I rolled my system back to before the D-Link install and still had the issues. I re installed my Firefox and so far all is well. So perhaps it was an update or perhaps it was drivers interfering. The date it started happening is July 5th. So depending when last update was could have been that.
As for Specs
Windows Pro x64
Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0
Kingston Hyper X genisus 16GB
AMD FX-8320
2x 500GB Seagate Barracuda Raid 0
Asus GTX 650 Ti Boost
Thats most parts that could remotely be causing the issue. Let me know if you solve anything if its just me the D-Link or an update would just like to know what went wrong. As I said re installing Firefox worked so perhaps drivers changed settings or something but i think system roll back should have fixed that I am not a pro though so any feedback would be appreciated.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

All applications close after being open for 1 minute.

Recently, all applications I open on my Mac close after being open for 1 minute. Safari and Microsoft word do not stay open for longer than 30 seconds. Prior to this, my computer would freeze and eventually applications would close. I'm not sure why this is happening or how to fix it. Does anyone know what could of happen for everything to close after opening it? Any help would be great, thanks!
