My ipod screen is very dim and i cant change it

ive tried to restore and it dosnt work. ive tired resetting it dosnt work also

If restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod does not solve the problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My screen is really dim and I cant brighten it. Could the problem be my LCD

I got the phone off of Craigslist and the person said the phone was in great condition but the screen is so dim I can barely see the icons under a light and was wondering if maybe the LCD was broke or had water damage or something

Hey there,
I'm new here but I got a lot of info under my belt with apple products.
Have you tried adjusting the brightness? at the home screen tap settings then brightness. From there use the slide bar to adjust te screen brightness. It couldnt be possible to be damaged by being dim. If it were damaged it would have different colors or unresponsive. Hope this helps you my friend!

IPhone was in my pocket and my pants got wet...now the screen is very dim

Hi - I had my iPhone in my jeans pocket and I got soaked. The iPhone had a protective plastic covering on it. Everything seems to be working but the screen is very dim. Can anyone offer any advice or suggestions on how or if this can be fixed?

Another alternative is silica gel pacs which may be a more effective drying agent. Turn the phone off and leave the phone in a sealed bag with the gel pacs or rice for at least 5 days before tying it again. Never use direct heat such as a hair dryer.

If this doesn't fix it, Apple will replace your out of warranty iPhone (including water damaged phones) for $199.

Also, there are 3rd party iPhone repair services which may be cheaper. Google is your friend to find these.

T400 LCD screen is very dim, but icon lights for HDD, etc. are working

Hi - I'm wondering if anyone knows what the issue with my T-400 would be if the LCD screen is very dim. Details include:
- When I boot up, there's a faint outline of what is going on, but barely noticeable since the whole screen is very, very dim
- Video card is working okay, because I can operate the laptop when I plug in an external monitor
- The icon lights for HDD, power, battery, etc. are still working
Thanks so much for the help.

First a question: Is it a CCFL backlight or LED? If it is a CCFL, it could be just the inverter, which is a lot cheaper than the panel. If the CCFL bulb goes out, usually (but not always) there is a red tint to the screen for a while first. The LED backlights are less likely to blow and there is no inverter. (The LED backlight is DC and the inverter convers the DC to AC to drive the CCFL bulb) Do you know which kind of backlight you have? If you don't know, send me your full model and serial in a pm and I'll look it up. Don't post it in the open forum. Also, what were you doing when it went out? Were you doing anything except normal work, like taking something apart or hooking something up?

My screen is very dim

My screen seems very dim on my MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, even under direct light the screen I have to strain to see the screen.

My screen is also going dimmer and I have the f6 setting at highest setting. Please tell me how to adjust in sys. prefs?
F6 does not adjust the screen at all. F6 is foir the adjustment of the keyboard backlighting.
Use F2 to brighten your screen.
Under Sytem Preferences, Display pane, also de-select the Automatic brightness setting. This will permit you to adjust the display to your liking. However, it also generally consumes more battery power (if running on battery) to keep a screen at full brightness manually.

Screen is very dim, black screen

Hi, my wife first edition ipad is 4 years old, the screen is very dim, you can see the screen righting and apps if you use a touch, I have done a system restore and a full reboot but is still the same, I have also turned the brightness up still no good, could really do with some help & please don't ask me to hold buttons down, already done cheers tom

Jeffdesersa,
Don't worry, ok? This is scary to see but we will help fix it for you. How are you trying to activate the phone? Have you tried connecting the phone to a computer and using iTunes to activate it? Activating that way may just do the trick!

Thinkpad W500 screen - seems very dim. typical? faulty?

Having issues with the apparent brightness of my Lenovo W500 (suspected Samsung display) in reasonable ambient light levels, I thought I'd try measuring the lux with a tool I found at ->http://www.tuug.fi/~toni/serendipity/index.php?/archives/12-Luxus-light-meter-desktop-widget-for-N90...  -- just for a more objective, albeit uncalibrated view on brightness.
In each case I placed the proximity sensor directly over the panel, so it was around 5cm "in" from the edge & displayed an all-white window.
Here's my rough results
Lenovo W500 (full)                            R=083 L=063 T=060
Dell 2005fp desktop (normal)                  R=151 L=155 T=142
old? HP 17" 4:3 (normal)                      R=157 L=143 T=180
Dell Studio 15 1920 laptop led (in dark room) R=104 L=111 T=110
Dell Studio 15 1920 laptop led (full)         R=214 L=212 T=226
Dell Studio 17 laptop led (full)              R=300 L=314 T=297
? HP 19" unknown (low lighting)               L=098 R=107 T=113
? HP 19" unknown (full)                       L=138 R=153 T=162
From this "comfortable" is IMO in the region 130-150 - the W500 fals way way below this.
Has anyone else measured?
What's reasonable?
I believe the spec is around 175-180 -- but that's obviously a calibrated test
The dell 2005fp is rated at 300 yet I score 150 above (though this is NOT on max, just normal)
The dell studio 17 is rated around 317 on full -- and the score above shows this as close
I can only conclude therefore my measurements are in the right ball park
The W500 is on full brightness & using the appropriate monitor.inf under win 7
What I should really do is have a proper colorimiter calibration and measurement done.
The "spec" of the W500 panel is 180-200 I believe - it's clearly not fair to use the numbers literally, but something is very very wrong.
Does this suggest my panel is faulty? To be honest I don't think I've seen a "good" W500 but I wonder if it meets the spec?
Anyone else fancy measuring a "current" laptop for comparison -- especially any other W500 owners (some of which have samsung panels, some have LG panels)

I no longer have W500 but I do remember screen being very dim. Notebookcheck measured a much higher value (130 on average?) even in comparison to other notebooks so I also suggest you try to get a replacement. I guess it is ok to use the manufacturer values when reporting a faulty screen.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

If it is still under warranty take it to an Apple Store, or in any case call AppleCare (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 for list of international phone numbers) to see if they can help you. They may be able to help you with repairs if it is a physical problem with the home button.

Probably has hardware damage from the fall. Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

TS3274 When using my IPad, the screen will go dim and I need to tap it restore it to its bright state. This same thing happens many, many times while I am using it.

When I am using my IPad, the screen will get dim and I need to tap the screen to get it to brighten up again. This happens repeatedly while I am using it. Is there something I can do to stop that from happening?

You don't necessarily need to set it to never...being set that way, you'll risk depleting the battery in case you forget to lock the screen.
Instead, use a value greater than your previous 2 minute setting...see which time setting would work for you. The settings are:
2 Minutes
5 Minutes
10 Minutes
15 Minutes
Never
