Noticible blotchy spot on screen when opening....

Hi all. I recently purchased the new Apple Ibook g4 12" 1.33ghz. I absolutely love it except for one defect....the lcd screen. When I move the top of the Ibook an any such manner (touching the white outer case ofcoarse), I notice a blotchy mark in the the turns black when in movement, almost as if a ghost puts its finger on the screen when the lcd is in movement from open to closed position. It only occurs in one spot and goes away when the screen is still. Is this a defective lcd? Should I try and get it replaced? It is annoying to see this every time the Ibook sees a little motion and do not want it to get worse. Is this the case with your screens? Thanks- Barry

hi barry,
I have a g4 iBook 1GHZ, (about 18 months old) and when i first got my book..... it had the same thing, the apple specialist over the phone told me to tighten the screws on the side of the case lid by the LCD..... be careful, they are those special screws so a philips will not work (cant think of the right tool) anyways tighten until tight, but not over doing it....... mine were loose, and this solved the problem, but i still think i have a defective screen all together........

  • Black screen when opening in .pdf

    I'm having problems with opening the C5-project in .pdf. Some people get a black screen when opening the .pdf file (version 9 or higher), most of the time it goes well, but 1 out of 10 times it doesn't work. I have know idea what could be the cause of the black screen (use of laptop?).
    Now it is impossible to send this project to our stakeholders, because I don't know whether it works or not.
    Does anyone recognize this and knows why this happens, and how to solve this?

    There was a recent patch released by Adobe for Captivate 5 that addressed a similar black screen issue in Captivate SWFs.
    You can get the patch here: http://www.adobe.com/support/captivate/downloads.html
    It may turn out to fix your issue as well.

  • HT1937 I have installed an app : Birdfield guide in my iPhone 4. But the app is not working after installation. It shows black screen when opened

    I have installed an app : Birdfield guide in my iPhone 4. But the app is not working after installation. It shows black screen when opened. I need suggestions to make it work or the reasons for not working.

    Yes TeeKnows, try deleting it and download it again. After finished installation if still shows black screen delete it out off 'running apps' by double tapping the home button and swipe it off. If still shows black screen then try fully turning off your iPad (holding the sleep button) and turn back on again.
    I hope I helped
    thanks

  • Grey Screen when opening a old or new project in CS 5.1

    Grey Screen when opening a old or new project in CS 5.1....I can then click on the outside of the screen and see the project screen but as soon as I release the mouse button it goes grey again.  Any ideas?

    Does turning off OpenGL in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

  • Priemier Elements 12 pops up a error screen when opening project." No disc in drive E.Please insert

    Priemier Elements 12 pops up a error screen when opening project." No disc in drive E.Please insert disc to continue." My DVD drives are  F and D. What do I have to do to get rid of this error?

    charkmapman
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
    In versions of Premiere Elements earlier than 12, the answer for that type of "No disc" message was usually related to SmartSound/Sonicfire Pro 5 feature. But, there is no SmartSound/SonicfirePro 5 feature in version 12, only Music Scores without the SmartSound name.
    Consequently, I would suggest an uninstall, do a ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts), reinstall.

  • Reader 9.0, 9.1, 9.1.2 blue screening when opening multiple PW protected files

    I have a user, using MSOffice 2k3, who get a blue screen when opening multiple password protected files thru Outlook. The error suggests to update the BIOS, which has been done. This occurrs in all 3 versions of Reader 9. It specifically occurrs AFTER he inputs the password in the PW box. It does not matter which file he opens 1st. Any assistance would be appreciated.

    No, you are wrong (Gene & Mike). First, the forms, at least my forms, have NOT been edited since being created in designer. They were created and saved directly to flash. Second, this issue has been posted on the acrobat forum as well as the life cycle designer forum and both thread were ended with adobe expert posts saying it was an adobe reader issue and to post here.
    I have experimented more with this issue and it seems to be a 'trusted identity' issue within reader, but I have not wholely figured it out yet. My forms work on Reader, 7, 8, and 9. They work on all versions of 7 and 8 regardless of what the form was optimized for (my forms were optimized for 9 and higher). The only trouble is on 9.0. I have found that when updating on client machines, reader gives a prompt (sometimes) that says reader has found a set of trusted identities from a previous version, would you like to use these identies or create a new set of identities. If you choose to keep the existing trusted identies set, the form works, even when upgraded to reader 9.0
    Not trying to be argumentative (Mike and Gene) but the 'experts' bail on this issue by telling people it's a reader problem and to post here.

  • Preview Screen when Opening a File

    I recently had to reinstall Pro V9.  Now I no longer get the preview screen when I select File, Open.  I liked this feature since I could see the first page of each document and know which file contained what information. Does anyone know how to reset this function?  Thanks.

  • Error screens when opening up dreamweaver; effecting functionality.

    When opening up a file in Dreamweaver, two error screens pop up. The first one says "Attempted an unsupported operation" and the second one says, "Encountered an improper argument". Dreamweaver will still work after this but becomes very buggy and certain functions such as refreshing the Properties panel does not work. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you.

    Does this happen every time??  Or just when AIR is involved?

  • Ipod camera black screen when opened and sync prob HELP!!!

    hello i just went to open the camera on my ipod touch 4g and it just went black just a black screen when i press the home button it goes straight to the home screen everything else is fine i just open the camera and a black screen appears, it is working fine now but just wondering if it is faulty or somthing.
    some times it does not sync i will plug it into the computes usb port and it wont charge i takes about 3 to 6 tries to get it to work any help thanks 

    Same thing just happened to me, found another solution though. 
    Plug the USB cable into your PC/base of iPod Touch.
    Turn off the iPod completely.
    Wait 10 seconds and re-power the iPod.
    Now load up the camera; and the screen should be back to normal.
    I have similar screen freeze issue with my Sony Erricson K700i Mobile phone, and plugging in the 'power' cable always resolves it, so it would seem to be of the same method used to resolve this iPod issue!!
    Strange thing as you've posted, all other apps etc still work.  Maybe support will get around to resolving this bug!! 

  • HT201263 does the smart cover magnet strip affect the ipad screen by making colour lines appear on the screen when opened or unlocked by the cover

    Does using the magnetic smart cover affect the ipad by causing stripes of interference lines over the screen, then when opening and shutting would revert to a normal home screen, But repeatedly does this lines on screen effect and then eventually the whole screen goes white!

    No. It should not do that.

    Do you not have a pane, usually down the left hand side, showing your accounts and their folders?
    Make sure that View|Layout|Folder Pane is checked.

  • Front Panel Full Screen when opened

    Hello, I would like to know if there is a way for LV to open a Vi and have the front panel fit entirely in the screen, when it is opened. Each one I have saved so far, even when positioning it where I thought it would take the entire screen, it opens in like dialog box size. Thank you.
    I found my error. Sorry, I should have waited a little longer before posting this question. Thank you

    I haven't tried this myself, but I do seem to remember people talking about replacing the shell application (probably explorer.exe) with your own application, which should boot directly to your app. I'm not sure if you still can't then run explorer.exe using something like Win+R or opening the task manager, but that should presumably be harder for most people than to just go find the task bar and maybe you can use permissions to prevent that.

  • * NEW to Boards *Blackberry 8230 with Bell hinge defective ( black screen when opening )

    Hi all,
    I am not sure if this is a common problem with the 8200's but after only one month of usage, the flip hinge does not turn ON the internal display when opened ( you have to play with the cover so that screen pops up ).
    Any ideas as now i have to bring in for repair and it's very frustrating for a new phone.
    Thanks

    $35 just to evaluate! I've never heard of that! I'd press them a bit about that -- after, of course, you review your contract with them concerning warranty support for you...
    Can't say about a problem with the flip -- though inherently, as a mechanical connection, it would naturally be prone to wear and tear as well as stressing beyond it's design limits (whatever those are). 
    Good luck and let us know!
