My Mac screen blew out and is frozen

After the first few screen freezes, the screen would be pixelated and I had to unplug my computer and restart. It would turn on successfully but my whole screen would have little pixel squares. I ignored that fact and was just happy my computer turned on. Moments later, my screen blacked out and I tried to do the same thing. Only this time the screen stays on to the open apple screen with pixels everywhere.. I don't know how I can solve this problem or if it can even be solved..

I can't run the hardware test or do anything at all.. I turn my iMac on and it goes I a white screen with the apple icon and then goes to a blank white screen. I would like to get it checked out but the nearest apple retail store is 2 hours away..

    Hello nattygrimm,
    I was looking into the issue you are describing and found a great resource to try and fix the issue without having to re install the OS. It is an article called Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1199.
    I recommend starting here:
    The first and easiest test to try is to see if the issue affects a different user account on your Mac. Each user account has customized preferences and other items stored in its home directory. You'll first need to create an additional user if one does not already exist (follow steps a-h below). Then, log out of the current user and test the issue in the new user account.
    If this resolves the issue, there may be an issue with a file in the home directory of the original user account.
    From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    From the View menu, choose Accounts (or choose Users if using Mac OS X v10.2 or earlier).
    Click "+" (or click New User if using Mac OS X v10.2 or earlier).
    Give the new user a name and short name.
    Mac OS X v10.3 or earlier only: Click the Password tab, and give the user a password.
    Mac OS X v10.3 or earlier only: Click Security.
    Select the checkbox for "Allow user to administer this computer". This makes the user account an administrator.
    Click OK, or quit System Preferences.
    Work your way down the article as needed.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Iphone screen popped out and glass broke. wont turn on

    My iphone 4s screen popped out and the glass broke in one corner. Wont turn on. Can this be repaired?

    do they replace it with the iphone 4s? I am 2 months shy of a verizon upgrade when I could get a more up to date phone. SO I would prefer a more current phone and 149 seems steep as an intermediary solution. Any advice

  • My old mac screen broke down and I would like to transfer my photos and documents to my new mac. Is it possible to transfer it with the cable without fixing my screen?

    My old mac screen broke down and I would like to transfer my photos and documents to my new mac. Is it possible to transfer it with the cable without fixing my old mac screen? Please help!

    Sure! If the two Macs have Thunderbolt ports, attach a Thunderbolt cable between them. If they have FireWire, or if one has FireWire and one Thunderbolt, connect a FireWire cable (with a TB adaptor if necessary). Reboot the old Mac holding down the T key. Make sure it's connected to power. You'll now see its system drive appear on the desktop of the other Mac and you can use Migration Assistant to automatically transfer files, or drag them over manually.

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

    Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store. The phone has a 1 year warranty. If it's no longer under warranty, a replacement is $269.

  • My ipod screen blacked out and wont let me see anything but it will play music

    my ipod screen blacked out and wont let me see anything but it will play music. how can i fix it or cani get a new one?

    - 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.
    If not under warranty, Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:

  • My iPhone 6 wont come on when home button is pressed and screen pixels out and fades.  Any one have fix or same problem?

    My iPhone 6 wont come on when home button is pressed and screen pixels out and fades.  Any one have fix or same problem?
    When I press the home page the screen activates but stays black.  I have to press the side button to turn if off then may have to repeat several times to get my phone to come on.  Sometimes while using the phone the screen will become pixelly and start to fade away leaving a white screen with vertical line on it.  I have to use the close button to make it go away.

    If one of the two major buttons of your phone is broken, it is unfair to expect normal operation to be available. The first resolution to any problem involves a usable Home button, as does the second option for resolving any problem.  Get your Home button fixed.

  • My mac screen comes out with white fuzzy lines going across the screen, it used to just go back to normal and out of no where it freezes and the white fuzzy lines go across the screen. Now it is frozen at the opening screen. what do i do?

    My mac screen is frozen with white fuzzy lines going across the screen. I shut it off and turn it back on but it still remains white fish lines on the start up screen. I've tried revolting it, it works sometimes but now its stuck at the starting screen. I have been at this for 2 hours to try and fix it but nothing has changed about the screen. What do I do, if I break this computer I'm screwed.

    I would post a picture of the screen but I do not know how to do that

  • Mac keeps logging out and blanking screen.

    hi.
    for some reason my mac just keeps logging out and blanking the screen at random points each day.
    its VERY weird.
    is there anything i can do about it?

    There are a number of things that you could try - resetting SMC and PRAM, doing an Apple Hardware Test, reinstalling system software, etc.
    But, if I were you, I'd take the unit into an Apple Store or an AASP. But be certain that you backup all of your data before you take it in.
    When there's no rhyme nor reason to restarts and 'blank screens' on a daily basis, it's best just to let Apple handle it - they can run tests that aren't available to mere mortals. Could be anything...
