My macbook makes weird pixels!

Hey Apple people
I have some problem with my macbook 13'' midi 2010. Often there comes some pixel/bar errors on my screen. If I touch my mouse or keys it disappears again.
The screen looks like this:
The picture is only a little error sometimes it is the whole screen.
Any suggetions?

If the noise is unbearable, I suggest bringing it in to an Apple Tech and having them adjust the screens tightness for you. I would not suggest doing anything your self (ie: oils etc.) as you may end up damaging your computer.

Macbook makes weird clicking noises

i can't remember when this started, but randomly, my macbook will start to make weird clicking noises. it's not just when it's idle either, i'll be using it and it'll still make weird low "dddddddd" noises ><;; i don't think it's the fan b/c it's not the high pitched whirring...does anybody else have this problem???

This clicking sound is specifically from the hard drive in MacBooks. The model of the hard drive in my MacBook is the FUJITSU MHV2080BHPL. I've had this click for well over a year and it only shows up when my hard drive is having to do a lot of thrashing for virtual memory purposes. I consider it entirely benign and merely a consequence of the hard drive head moving back and forth across the drive. It is very rare. Fujitsu drives historically are very reliable (as opposed to the Hitachi/Travelstar IBM drives which are historically a POS).
Nevertheless! What is the first rule of computing? Quote after me: *'MAKE A BACKUP'*. There is no excuse for not making regular backups of your hard drive. If you don't, you get what you deserve. It's that simple. *All hard drives fail.* It's just a matter of when. These days hard drives are being made cheaply, with lower quality standards than in the past, therefore they fail much more readily. Even Seagate, which I considered the hold out quality hard drive maker on the market, have recently been putting out faulty drives. NEVER depend on your hard drive.

COmputer makes weird pixelated noises and lags graphics

i just got an HP 15. It lookied good, had a light weight and had the best in gaming. But after a few days, when a game or movie goes on, this weird sound buzz and graphical lag comes on and relly anooys me. Plus, it gives me a feeling that the hardware is not assembled but i can't say because, till now, I have used every single HP computer since 8 years.
Please someone help me with this problem.
Intel fixer

Same problem, man. I would try everything, but it will perist. Try opening up the system and check for cracks in the motherboard or open spaces between the parts. It is hard to solve such problem for me.

I have a stuck CDR disk in my MacBook. I have tried everything and nothing works. When the computer starts it makes weird sounds and also when I try to eject it. Nothing Works! Please Help.

I have tried everything and nothing works. When the computer starts it makes weird sounds and also when I try to eject it. Nothing Works! Please Help.

I had that happen with a MacBook. It turned out that the metal case above the slot was slightly bent down.
Putting a flat blade screwdriver in the slot and gently twisting it to move the metal case up allowed it to eject. Don't put it in too far you only want to bend the case not the drive.
The case can get bent down by picking it up with your thumb pressing down on the case above the slot.

Mission Control/Dash Board are freeze then cause logout. Picture preview with a lot of Weird Pixel (Not dead pixel).

i cannot use my mission control, laging and freeze, then cuase the system logout. It is same as my DashBoard.
Additional problem is there a lot weird pixel (dot or spot) on my picture when i preview the picture. I had try reset SMC and PRAM, but the probelm still exist.
Plese help...

T420i Graphics Card issue (weird pixels on screen)

I have a brand new T420i with Nvidia NVS4200M, i7 2670 QM, 8GB RAM, 128 SSD ( operating system and softwares) and a 500GB 7200RPM HDD. Also using Win7 64bit.
I use a View Sonic 2270VX IPS external monitor at 1080p resolution, with a displayport to HDMI cable.
The problem I have is, when browsing the web, using photoshop and Rhino ( CAD ), I get these weird colored pixels.

When I am only using a VGA cable, this doesn't happen. This doesn't happen on my laptop screen as well.
I updated my Nvidia driver to the latest on Lenovo's website ( version: 9.18.13.1100).
At first I was told that it could be the cable, but since I can make a screen cap of it, it shouldn't be just the cable or monitor. What else can I do to resolve this? It gets annoying because I do a lot of graphic related work.

Thanks Jin. I will have to try this and use it for a while to see which one is it. The weird pixels don't come out all the time. I will use one setting for a few days first to see how it performs. Right now, I am running on discrete card. At first the pixels came back but they are gone now, so I am not certain yet. Thanks again, I will come back with updates.

Macbook makes a loud humming noise sometimes

Macbook makes loud buzzing noise and alt button broke off - i still have warranty. What do I do? what does it mean?

It's under warranty? Take it in for testing/servicing.

Have you exchanged a MacBook with dead pixels?

Everything was going smooth with my MacBook - too smooth...
My MacBook is developing dead pixels. I've had it for about 18 days and initially the display was perfect but now it seems that fabled mythical beast, the dead pixel monster, is eating my pixels.
Does anyone know what the official policy is for dead bright pixels? Has anyone actually exchanged a MacBook with dead pixels? If you did get yours exchanged how many dead pixels did it have?
Do you think I am better off to keep the MacBook for a while (wait untill the supply catches up a bit) and then return it - or do I need to deal with the issue within the first 30 days?

things were going smooth with my machine until the screen went black. not a doubt in my mind that the inverter was faulty. so that's a mfg. defect right.
the problem is that apple (like so many companies these days) does not want you bringing a dead/faulty product into their store to just "swap it out."
they're going to want you to send it in and all that fun stuff. normally i wouldn't care so much, but i'm now waiting on a technician to call me back and tell me what to do with the machine - and i'm traveling on friday. mbpro was supposed to be coming with me as it's loaded with all my work for a project. grrrrrr.

When I move from window to window my screen has weird pixels

Hello,
Sometimes when I move from window to window there are appeared weird pixels on the screen.
It seems that the image is not processed fast enough.
Any advices?

hello, have you set any other dpi value in your operating system than the default one (96dpi)? more information about that is available at http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/display_use_large_or_small_fonts.mspx

Does your Macbook make Random Popping Sounds?

Hi all, does your Macbook make random popping sounds, on startup and periodically when your using your MB. I have this issue with two macbooks and i can't seem to find many other people who have this problem. I'm unsure whether it's the audio popping issue mentioned in other threads because this happens when no external speakers are plugged in. It's just pops away on it's own and it's driving me mad, i can't even pin it down to a specific task because it;s so random.
Both of my Macbook are operating under 10.4.11.
Arrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh

Actually now that you've mentioned it, mine sometimes randomly makes the popping sounds, more to the likes of 'clipping' of speakers. But the odd thing is, mine only pops when connect my speakers (it's a Cambridge Soundworks 4.1 setup which i purchased over 6 years ago) - and the speakers have been fine all these while? I am positive that it's not my speakers because just recently (2-3 days ago) my brother brought his HP laptop and used my speakers and i did not hear anything even after he left his inferior (haha kidding) laptop on my desk to have a smoke without any music/sound coming out of the speakers.
To be more precise. my popping sound occurs specifically (as I haven't tried others) as I pause my music on iTunes. It does annoy the h*ll out of me and I really assumed that it was my speakers.
At least I'm not alone now. My Macbook specs are listed below.

MacBook makes new whoosh sound when opening

MacBook makes a new sound when I open the cover..... Like a woosh, which it never used to do before. Is there any way to turn off?

dcnjrich wrote:
I sent my MBP13 to Apple for repair. The tech indicated that the hinges were lubricated and tightened....and the sound still exists. Atleast I have it documented in the event there is any type of failure. Candidly I'm guessing that one of the magnets is loose as the noise does not occur when the laptop lid is closed.
If this was my MBP, I'd return it and ask them to fix it correctly, and if they can't, ask about a replacing it (I would miss it while it was gone, but I'd still be able to work on one of my other Macs. If you can't afford the time without it, your situation might be different; obviously that's your call.)

IPOD 30G MAKES WEIRD NOISE

30G make weird noise when I plug it to my USB, and when I reset it, the screen turns on but nothing else comes on. my computer makes the noise letting me that the usb is working but I can do anything. is there anything I could do without sending it in for warranty service?

Have you tried the 5 R's??? If not visit 5R's

Macbook freezes and makes weird repetitive noise

Hi,
My macbook has been making weird repetitive noises when I'm on wireless internet. I'm not exactly sure it's the wireless internet that's the problem. Whenever I try to download something it happens, and I get the pinwheel. Then I can't do anything so I just restart.

Macs arn't designed to run with a full drive. They need plenty of space on the drive in order for virtual memory to work. At least 20Gb. If I were you I would make some space before you damage your Mac. If you don't know what the files are that are filling it, use a prog called What Size.

Macbook acts weird unless disk in superdrive

So I recently got this macbook, I have had it for three months. I really like it for the most part. There is one exception though and it seems to have something to do with the cd drive (it might not even be a problem i might just be a noob). Whenever I wake the macbook from sleep it makes the usual sound from the cd drive but if no disc is in the drive the computer will be basically frozen for about 30 sec then just works normally. For the most part I can deal with that but it happens at other times too. If I open the disk utility it will make the same sound that it does when it wakes up and then will freeze for a short time with a spinning color wheel then it will go away. It also happens if I go to the "Serial-ATA" section under more info in "about this mac". The weird thing is none of this happens if a disc is in the drive not even the waking up sound

I just wanted to add that any time I press the eject key on the macbook it will temporarily freeze to. Is this normal? I have seen other macbooks that open disk utility and can use it almost immediately but my macbook will be frozen for a minute.

My macbook makes weird pixels!
