New monitor installed?

I bought a used model and suddenly, the display has all kinds of thin blacked out lines, maybe better known as dead pixels. I had recently tried to clean the display with those iKlear pads. Don't know if that was a bad mistake.
Anyway, is it possible to have a new display installed to replace the original? I don't mean an external hook-up, I mean an attached display.
Can this be done? Will it cost $1000?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Yes the display can be replaced, but you will have to ask around to see what it might cost. Any authorized Apple repair shop should be able to do this.
As to whether the iKlear pads had an effect, I don't know. Did the appearance of the black lines happen before or after you cleaned the display? You don't want to have any liquid seep in around the edges, and you don't want to exert too much pressure on the display. Apple recommends using a damp soft lint free cloth to clean the display.
I am assuming that the Mac is not under warranty. If it is under warranty, and the lines appeared before you cleaned the display, then you could talk to Apple about getting the display replaced under warranty.
Good luck!

  • Apple keyboard not working after installing new monitor

    Yesterday I installed a new monitor - HP EliteDisplay E231i - to my Late 2013 Mac Pro.  Previously I had been using super old apple monitors.  My apple keyboard was working great - I had it plugged into the new monitor itself.  I shut down the computer last night. This morning, the Mac Pro won't recognize my keyboard no matter what I do. I tried plugging it into every possible USB port on the tower and on the monitor. Restarted it after moving it each time. I'm currently typing with a Microsoft keyboard, which is working fine.  I tried the keyboard in 2 other laptops (macbook pro) and it works fine.  Is this a bug specific to the monitor??  I've been running Yosemite 10.10.2 since the last update, and I've had no issues till I switched the monitor out and tried to start the computer after shutdown.
    Details: Mac Pro (Late 2013), Yosemite 10.10.2, 32 GB 1866 MHz DDR3 ECC, AMD FirePro D500 3072 MB
    Anyone know what's going on?

  • DULL colors only on  Adobe photoshop CS2 after buying a new monitor

    Hi,
    I'm hoping someone can help me!
    Recently I bought a new widescreen LG monitor L206WTQ - which I had plugged in and installed the drivers etc etc! The screen works fine.
    I decided to open up my Adobe photoshop CS2 for the first time, to do some photoshopping (also to see what adobe would look like on my new monitor) ...and when I opened the my adobe, a error message popped up saying something like "your monitor 'LG monitor L206WTQ' is defected ... ..." - Now because I wasnt too sure what the message mean't, I just closed the message window and continued to work on adobe - which actually seemed to be running fine - only untill i relized that I could not get the true color WHITE on my color palete!
    I searched google for the problem and to my amazement ... I found a forum that answered my question. The forum told me to go to CONTROL PANEL > DISPLAY > COLOR MANAGEMENT > and then once I was here, click ADD to add the AdobeRGB1998.icc file and set it as the default color profile.
    I accepted these settings and opened up my Adobe to find that it WORKED ... I could get the true color white again.
    BUT! ... now I have found another problem and this is where I need your help. I was searching for photographs on my computer to photoshop on Adobe and when i opened up an image on adobe ... I noticed that the color of the photo is SLIGHTLY DULL compared to the original - Almost as though Adobe made the image a little less brighter. I double clicked on the photo in my MY DOCUMENTS FOLDER, so that i could compare the image to the one on adobe and I was right ... the image did look a bit more dull on Adobe. I thought maybe it was that particular image but every photo I open up on a Adobe now, becomes slightly dull.
    Strangely enough ... when I edit a photo in Adobe and save it under these "dull" conditions ... and open the edited image in my MY DOCUMENTS folder, the images color is back to normal!
    Why do all my images get this 'dull' condition only when I view / open them up in adobe???
    I can't find a forum that has an answer to my question and I'm just hoping one of you experts can help me out, thanks in advance!!

    Dale,
    Photoshop is colour managed. This means when sending RGB to the monitor it uses a profile that describes the monitor's behaviour.
    In order to display colours properly it has to change the RGB values sent to that specific monitor. The device profile is a set of offset values that is typical for that one monitor.
    Your current profile probably belongs to your previous monitor. Recalibrate an profile your monitor.

  • HT3917 My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed

    My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed.

    Do you get a steady green light to say there is a connection.    If not, are the batteries the right way round.   Do you have a monitor to tell the batteries strength. Is there a reading.   Are the batteries good quality ones, Duracell, Energiser or Apple rechargeables.

  • Mac Pro (Early 2008) failing with new monitor

    Hi All,
    I am having a strange problem with my Mac Pro and new display (ViewSonic VX2703MH-LED 27-Inch LED-Lit LCD Monitor). I first noticed some strangeness when I attempted to temporarily run the maching on a new Samsung HDTV that doubles as a computer monitor. I am using a Mini-DV to HDMI adapter, which worked great on two Samsung monitors I'd previously purchased. Anyway, I returned those because I needed ones with standard VESA mounts. So when I plug any of the new monitors in, I am getting some very unstable behavior. Sometimes the mac won't even start up, not even in safe mode. I was able to check all of my disks and zap the P-RAM, and all seems OK, yet every time I am able to startup and login successfully, it crashes after a short while after the display starts acting up. Horizontal and vertical lines come through and all of the color gets messed up. Sometimes my startup screen looks like this:
    I found a table on apple.com that shows which Mac models can use Mini DVI --> HDMI adapters, but it is incomplete - it doesn't mention the Mac Pro from early 2008 at all. I was going to install Mavericks, hoping that might help, but I couldn't burn a bootable DVD copy of Lion because it is a tad too large for a DVD, even though I've read on several sites that this is possible! I am scared to blindly do the upgrade, because I am pretty sure this is some kind of hardware issue. Anyone have any experience with this? I don't think it can be just the Viewsonic monitor because I had similar troubles on the Samsung TV...however the previous Samsung monitors are not here to test. Any insight appreciated!

    RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
    1) Apple brand cards,
    2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
    3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
    ... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
    1) Apple brand cards:
    • Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
    • Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
    2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
    • NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
    • NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
    3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
    • SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
    • EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
    The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
    If you are Meet ALL of these:
    • running 10.8.3 or later AND
    • don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
    • can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
    You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards"

  • New Monitor, Old Computer Compatibility

    I have a new(ish) Acer monitor. It's only 17.5" apparently, but its native resolution is something like 1600 x 900 and 32-bit colour, though I think it can handle lower resolution if need be.
    I have a Sawtooth with a Rage 128 Pro graphics card.
    Will the latter be able to handle the former? I have the DVI cablery necessary to connect them, I'm just concerned that Sawtooth's antiquated graphics card won't want anything to do with the new monitor (even if my Intel Mac Mini can set it to a lower resolution as desired).
    Additionally, the Sawtooth will be running OS 9 and will need to boot off an external hard drive or install CD.

    OK, thanks. The monitor worked after all. (Once I finally requisitioned it for the afternoon.)
    Sawtooth is now running Mac OS 9.0.4 (found a copy on Macintosh Garden; my own CD is long since lost to the mists of time.)
    Sawtooth briefly ran OSX 10.4.11 since I had to boot it off my external drive to reformat its internal drive (which was pulled from a PC; Windows NT format, and had some X86-friendly version of Linux on it). It was a somewhat aggravating experience trying to run Tiger on a 400 Mhz processor.
    For some reason, it wouldn't boot off the install CD, though. (I booted it into OS 9.2.2 off the external drive and it mounted the install CD; it just wouldn't boot off it. Luckily, OS 9 doesn't need to boot off the CD to install.) I wonder why that is.
    PS— Seems they redesigned the support forums. The old one was better.

  • Help me solve color and dark print issue with a new monitor recommendation!

    I know, I hate "surveys" too. I'm thinking of attacking my color and dark printing issues w\LR and CS4, by investing in a new monitor. I currently have an 20' early edition Apple Cinema Display. The monitor is the last hardware (software) item in my current upgrade cycle. From those folks who are NOT having color or print problems, what displays are you using (or would recommend)? Ah, and price is an issue. Apologies in advance to those who think this is not appropriate use of the Forum.

    Monitor calibration is the first port of call. Sometimes changing one item in a system is enough to show up a colour management issue. You suggest that the monitor is the last item in your upgrade cycle, what all have you changed? Computer, printer? There may also be a setting you have failed to set when you installed the new software, eg. have you remembered to set relative colorimetric with the black point compensation box ticked, disable colour management in your printer driver and put an appropriate colour profile for your monitor onto the new computer? You also need the correct profile for your printer/paper combination set up in Photoshop.
    If you haven't calibrated your monitor, that on its own will give you poor prints, but all the other bits are needed also.

  • Colors displaying as dull yellowy-green; new monitor and calibration

    Just got a new ASUS LCD monitor, and calibrated it with the Spyder 3 Express. 
    Now when I import a .CR2 file using Lightroom 3 to edit the RAW image, the color is displayed as yellowy-gray and dull.  It looks the same when I pull it into Elements 7, unless I remove all color management (which, if I save the image, actually then renders the image colors neon and oversaturated with lots of pink and red tones).  If I export the image from Lightroom 3 the image colors are correct and very different from how they look in Lightroom.
    I also use the ACR editor with Elements 7 and I am having the same problem there.  Upon opening an edited Jpeg or a .CR2 RAW file there, the color is displayed as dull, grayish yellowy-green. 
    If I view the very same image in GIMP, Picasa or on the web, as long as the colorspace is intact (sRGB), the color is accurate.  Not so in Elements or Lightroom.
    If you have experience with this problem is it the monitor, the calibration, or Elements and Lightroom?  I am beyond frustrated and need to see my colors properly.  I have not had this problem before.
    Thanks for your time.

    I suggest re-reading C S S Simon's and my reply, including the links I provided with solutions and historical explanation – It is apparent you didn't!
    Pay your money and make your display choice, but don't blame the wide gamut capable display because you are unwilling to learn how to use the technology advantages it provides!
    Please read this factoid:
    All Wide Gamut Displays when properly setup to display in a "wide gamut" mode such as Adobe RGB will only display images correctly in color managed applications – PERIOD.
    Your Asus display has two factory calibrated modes, Adobe RGB and sRGB, which will only work properly using the color profile provide to you on CD (or downloaded) by Asus – This the monitor profile Asus used when hardware calibrating your specific serial number monitor at the factory. The displays internal LUT contains that calibration information, and there is no way for you to recalibrate it using a Spyder 3 or other hardware calibrator. I am going to paste here three separate solution alternatives I made at the other post – Use only one (1):
    Solution 1) Delete your i1 Display custom profile and install the Asus provided PA246Q driver and profile. Then use the monitor's "factory calibrated" Adobe RGB wide Gamut selector mode with Lightroom and other color-managed applications. When using non-color managed applications, switch your monitor’s mode selector to sRGB. Calibration using i1 Display or other hardware device cannot be used with this option. User hardware calibration should only be performed using the monitor's 'User Mode.'
    Solution 2) In addition to your Asus PA246Q wide gamut monitor, install a second standard gamut sRGB monitor. Calibrate both monitors separately using your i1 Display unit, which will create separate profiles for each monitor. Use your Asus PA246Q wide gamut monitor only with Lightroom and other color managed applications. Use your second sRGB monitor for with both non-color or color managed applications. You may still have issues properly calibrating your Asus PA246Q monitor with its proper 'User Mode' selection as others have reported, but the results should be better than what you have now.

  • Have new monitor and dont now how to open program

    my mom bought me a new 22" ProView flat screen lcd monitor . it came with a cd to download ... i have no idea how to open and run any of it??? of course i no how to on the heweitt but not on the apple... if any one can help walk me thru this ...it would be awsome...there is no info anywhere in or on the box that said it was apple compatable

    It is unlikely that you need to install any software from the CD that came with your new monitor. Just plug it into your Mac (with the Mac turned off) and it should be detected and work automatically.

  • New Monitor - Menu fonts are blurry with balck background

    I just installed a new monitor (Compaq 20" LCD). When in Firefox, the menu fonts in the upper right hand corner of the screen have a black background and the the lettering appears fuzzy. When I float my cursor over them they highlight in blue (as that should) and are nice and clear. This is only in Firefox - the whole screen is crystal clear when using any other program.

    Thanks michael. You are right. The fonts in the image file I posted looks good compared to my original monitor screen for some wierd reason. I went through all the steps that you mentioned. BUT I think I have found the solution now. This is what I did: I downloaded 'Tinker Tool' > font smoothing> changed font smoothing style to 'Strong'. This seems to have sorted the problem out. I have posted both images for comparison below.

  • Need advice for a new monitor for Mac Centris 610

    I have a Mac Centris 610. The Apple monitor(display unit) that originally came with it finally died. Would this old Mac be able to use a new flat-screen computer monitor? How can I find out what newer monitors wouldbe compatible with this old "war horse" computer. I use it for one application only, but it still works great for this. Many thanks to anyone who can rescue me from my predicament!

    You can't use a new flat-screen display, because they have a widescreen aspect ratio (16:9) and that isn't supported by the Centris' onboard graphics.  The Centris doesn't have PCI slots, so that eliminates that option.  You could check thrift stores or computer recyclers in your area for an older display.  You might have success using a Mac-to-VGA adapter having a set of adjustable DIP switches.  It plugs into the Mac DB-15 display port on the back of the Centris and enables you to connect an older, multi-sync CRT display (4:3 aspect ratio) having a PC-style VGA connector.
    From the specs posted at EveryMac.com for the Centris 610:
    "By default, the Macintosh Centris 610 only supports a single display, but a second one can be supported with the addition of a compatible PDS or NuBus video card. With the standard VRAM, the system is capable of supporting 512x384 at 16-bit color and 640x480, 800x600 and 832x624 at 8-bit color. With 1 MB of VRAM installed, it can support 640x480, 800x600 and 832x624 at 16-bit color and 832x624, 1024x768 and 1152x870 at 8-bit color."

  • Getting NEW Monitor for my P6-2133W AMD APU System--Few Questions?

    Hi All
    Getting an HP 20 Inch 1600x900 Monitor, and wondering if i'll have any lag in games, or anything, going from a 17inch 1280x720 size screen?  I know it's a big jump, and when i bought this machine in June didn't check out any monitors then.  
    Some friends of mine are saying gaming will be terrible on this APU system, and laggy as can be with new monitor, so a little worried now,  Monitor arrives tomorrow
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion p6-2133w Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model uses an AMD A6 3620 Processor w/ integrated Radeon™ HD 6530D graphics. Changing the monitor isn't really going to affect the graphics or cause lagging. The APU and its integrated graphics are where you may encounter an issue. The only way to overcome these potential issues is to install a more powerful APU (such as the A8-3850) or a discrete graphics card and power supply.

  • New Infinity install and Philips Smart TV

    Any ideas on how to resolve my connection issue. I have a Philips smart TV which until I had Infinity and the new HH3 installed on Thurs(7th Feb.) connected without any issues with my previous supplier's BB (Sky).  Tv is connected and finding net ok but cant/wont connect to Smart Tv.  I've enabled Port clamping as advised in other posts but still no joy.  Any other suggestions appreciated.  I pretty sure its not a TV issue as It worked no problems pre Infinity and TV is as up to date as you can get,Software update etc.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I have the same problem with a Philips 40pfl8605 and a home hub 3 (but not the infinity package). the tv connects to the router, either wirelessly or via ethernet, but will not load Net TV. I get an error message which says 'Philips server not found. Try again later). 
    Keith, I'm on my home network now but you're link wouldn't open a few minutes ago. I can't work out how to message you directly on this forum, but if you can send me the content of that link on the thread, i'd be grateful. I'm pretty sure this problem stems from the router as the Net TV has connected in the past, when I've had a netgear router. Philips have been useless and after running through standard checklists such as clearing the Net TV memory, reinstalling software (which is up-to-date) etc, simply advised to send the (3yr-old) tv for repair. 
    Looking forward to hearing from you.
