Part of screen gone funny

good afternoon,
macbook air with 10.5.4
we are new to macs and so far impressed. we have just installed office for mac but when we restarted the computer the righht 1/4 of the screen is blurred and flikering to the extent that you can not make out anything that is displayed there.
does anyone have any suggestions about what we have done and what we can do to check the cause or fix the problem?
regards
allistair

I dont know how apple care works, but you may be able to get free help at an apple store to try and alleviate the problem. To me, it sounds like a faulty video card or bad connection, so a hardware issue i ASSUME. getting a pic would probably get more people trying to help you out

Equium P200-178: 17" lcd screen has gone funny colours

My 17" screen on my equium p200-178 has gone funny colours as if when looking at any pictures there is far to much saturation on the screen.
I have plugged in an external monitor and that screen works fine.
So i am going th have to change the screen.
I need to know is do any of the other 17" laptops or notebooks use the same 17.1" WXGA lcd glossy screen that is ccfl with one back light, if so which models? and does any one know what the part number(s) are...
Thanks

Thank you very much PauPau for your brilliant reply. I have a very good friend who is more than competant to perform the work it was just a case of the fact that after an extensive trawl of the net i have found the 17.1 " screens for most of the other models in the 17" of satalite range and even the 17.3" for the satalite L550 at one stockist at sensible prices but they just dont list them for the Equium P200, where as most other stockists had listings for all the ranges of what seemed to be the same screens. Cheers very much.

IPad constantly glitching/freezing/crashing/parts of screen unresponsive - time for a factory reset OR a trip to the Apple store???

iPad constantly glitching/freezing/crashing/parts of screen unresponsive - time for a factory reset OR a trip to the Apple store???
My son has nothing but problems with his iPad Mini. It is less than a year old and it constantly freezes/crashes/glitches and parts of the screen are unresponsive. This happens while playing games, watching movies, surfing the net etc etc
The iPad has been in a heavy duty Survivor case from day 1 and has been very well taken care of - so I don't think it's a damage issue
I have tried numerous resets (just holding the 2 buttons) and have disabled every feature on the iPad that might be causing memory/RAM issues (?) all to no avail.
I haven't tried resetting to factory settings as I don't want to lose all the data on the iPad (mostly his game achievements and Minecraft maps that he has worked so hard on!!!)
SO - any suggestions:
1) Take it in to the Apple Store - I have never gone to Apple over an issue, is this possibly covered by warranty???
2) Factory Reset - If I do this can I save all his game achievements/data???
Cheers,
Todd

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Restart unsuccessful and screen gone back after software updated

I just got my iMac back from the store for hard drvie replacement programme. When I back home, I used the original OS install DVD to start up my computer, all went smoothly till the software update check, I tried to updated the software and restart the computer as per request, but the screen gone black and my computer never can start up again. What's going wrong? Can anyone help?

Hello,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

Satellite L350-170 display has gone funny pictures

Hi
i have a Satellite L350-170 but the display has gone funny pictures have started to look like negatives and colours are not the same also and there is like ghost screens underneath my current screen.
I have tried unistalling drivers and reinstalling but its just the same
Any help with this would be appreciated thank you

Hi
Test the notebook in connection with external monitor.
Check if the same funny pictures would be visible on external monitor.
I think if the same will appear on second monitor, then the issue might be related to graphic card.
In such case the motherboard with the GPU chip should be replaced.

Ibook g4 my screen is funny colored and some flashing sometimes goes back to normal anybody know whats wrong with it I just got it 2 weeks ago?

I have a problem with a apple ibook g4 I bought 2 weeks ago
from ebay. It had tiger and I installed leopard on it and it had been
working perfectly for about a 2 weeks. There was nothing wrong using
tiger except it did not remember my settings. I would have set up my
email or itunes everytime the computer started. I wanted the updated
leopard so I installed that and it fixed the memory problems. After
that it worked great with no problems at all for a week, until now. Here is my problem when I start my
ibook it starts up with a blue screen instead of the grey screen. This all started when I closed the top and
put it in sleep mode when I opened it back up when it came out of
sleep mode the screen looked funny colored and a little
fuzzy. I have shut the top down and opened it hours later and it never did this before. Sometimes it will flash in and out of the funny colors to normal
look and other times it will stay that weird fuzzy off looking color. And it will start and sometimes flash between funny
looking to normal and then switch to normal color. I had no problems
with it doing this until 2 days ago. I am sending you
this email using my ibook g4 and it looks normal right now for a few seconds then it flashs a little and goes back to that weird screen. This
morning when I first started it up it went weird colored a little then
back to normal and stayed normal for about 1 minute. Yesterday when I was using it I saw
a quick blue colored flash once in a while as it looked normal other then the flash then went to the strange colors. It has never done this
before either until 2 days ago. My battery does not set
flush in the case but I don't think that would be a problem. My Ibook
is the 14" version with 1.42 Ghz PPC 7450 chip and 1 Gb memory. This
is my 1st apple and not as familiar with it as windows. What do you
think is wrong with it? It worked so good up until now. I would hate
to just junk it I just bought it. I have heard it coulod be the logic board. Does anybody have a clue what is wrong? Any help would be VERY much appreciated. Thank You, Jim

It does sound like the logic board. It's not uncommon for an iBook with a faulty logic board to work intermittently. You can't count on it, though. It could fail completely at any time.
DT&T Computer Services in Fremont, California has the best deal I've found on logic board replacements. They do free diagnostics, so they would make sure that's what you need, and there is a six-month warranty on the repair.

I'm always a little sad that people are basing their opinions of Macs on these older iBooks. Yours is the newest iBook in existence, but it's still over five years old — ancient in computer terms.

A few Graphical things gone funny.

Simmons, "A few graphical things gone funny." #4, 06:14pm Sep 23, 2005 CDT
Here is the link to another thread where I explained the problem i was having. I thought it might have been linked to FCP, which is why I posted it there. I completely uninstalled and reinstalled FCP to no avail. I tried repairing the disk permissions. Nothing. I even tried dumping the FCP preferences. Absolutley a waste of time.
Any suggestions?
