  • E-mac screen getting darker with time? part 2

    (continuation of old thread with same title, since that one was closed)
    Steve A. - Any update on the repair? you were going to try several components. I find with my darkening screen, i can sometimes restore full brightness by "sleep" and wakeup.
    e-mac   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

    JMVD,
    Seems to me that you're quite the Apple expert. I had this problem with my eMac. Since, I am not American or English I hope I can make the problem chrystal clear.
    I think I had the same problem with my screen. A few days ago I left my eMac running while not using it. After a while the screen became dark due to the "sleep modus setting" of course. This is not the first time this happens. Only this time after activating the eMac again my screen was so much darker. So of course I changed the screen setting (calibration) at the system preference menu. It improved the brightness of the screen but I noticed that it still was not normal. I said to myself: as long as I can work with it than it would be no problem. But then last night I forgot to shut down my eMac and again the screen got darker. This time I tried to change the setting again. Again the calibration process but I saw that I am using the maximum brightness and I got irritated by the quality of the color. And furthermore if the screen would get darker the next time I already used up the calibration / brightness possibities.
    So I went looking for help at the apple site. And I found your discussion. And I just tried the command option o f advise of yours etc etc etc. After the automatic restart only the grey screen (background) with in the centre the apple logo appeared.
    Your advice was very simple so I just went for it. I hope I did not erased the whole unit. Please tell me what I should do know. Also I saw the screen (grey back ground / apple logo) was kind of dark. But, I never look at the screen when I start up the eMac. Maybe I am imagining this.
    I hope you can help me with this. Unfortunately, I do not have the apple care protection plan.
    Thanx.

  • My IPad screen is dark and will not turn on. I have charged the battery and nothing. I have tried to reset the device as well with no luck. Any suggestions?

    My IPad screen is dark and will not turn on. I have charged the battery and no luck. I have tried to restart it multiple times with no luck. During the restart, the screen will flicker like it is trying to restart but the silver apple never shows. Any suggestions?

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • IMac screen is dark

    The screen is dark on my 2006 iMac.  Is there a way to reset or do I need a new part?  Also, what cable do I need to connect it to a MacBook Pro to recover data?

    Hi mgtrumpet,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I recommend using the steps in this article to troubleshoot your iMac, starting with the "No video..." section:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
    If necessary, try using Target Disk Mode to recover the files on your iMac using the MacBook Pro. See these articles for more information:
    OS X Mavericks: Transfer files between two computers using target disk mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13842
    Note: The steps in the article above apply to previous versions of OS X as well.

  • Screen gets darker

    I cant find anything like this on the forum but perhaps I just missed something. For months now every 2 or 3 weeks the bottom right, bottom centre or the whole screen gets a bit darker. Normally if its part of the screen it get better after an hour but after a while even that does not happen. In the end resetting the PRAM or PMU is the only way to go to sort it out. I calibrate my screen every few days but always check before doing so that the screen has not gone dark again. Now I think this all started when bluetooth did a vanishing act as well. The computer tells you the hardware does not exist any more! This all started after one of the many 10.3 updates. Might not be all related to each other but thought best to mention it. Any ideas? When I say the screen goes darker I mean it goes greyer. There is no colour tints.

    Thank God other people have noticed this probelm as well! I too have been having this problem for about the last two month. Though, I noticed it after I purchased my iSight camera. I would certainly hope that this issue can be resolved quickly and does not become another "nano-issue."

  • TS3700 music stops playing when the screen goes dark, but the earbud jack is flush with the iPod. The Jack is hard to push in now. what is the problem?

    Music stops playing when the screen goes dark; the earbud jack is flush with the iPod. The Jack is hard to push in. what is the problem? How do I Fix it?

    And you are positive the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?
    Have you tried another set of headphones to see if the problem persisted? If so, it's likely that the headphone jack needs replacing.

  • My Facebook and Safari are now "stuck".  I can't scroll and the screen is darker that normal.

    My Facebook and Safari are both "stuck".  I cant's scroll or open anything plus the screen is dark (not black).  What did I do?

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History). Then try closing the app completely : from the home screen double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it  (and Facebook app if you are using that and not accessing it via Safari), and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT201406 When I open a web page the screen gets dark and not responding

    Screen ges dark and non- responding can't get out of it frozen

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari via the taskbar and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Screen goes dark after dialing

    When I place a call using my contacts or my keypad, the screen goes dark after hitting the green "send" button.  It stays dark until I hang up.  How do I get the screen light to stay on when I place a call?

    This phone has a sensor if you put the phone to your face or even put your hand over to near the top of the screen it will go dark. There is a sensor to prevent false activation of the touch screen.
    I found when my phone is working on the car adabter it goes dark rather fast when I make a call. I use a Bluetooth earphone most of the time with this phone.  I don't feel comfortable holding it to my ear.
    If I see the screen go dark and I need access, I simply run my finger up from the bottom of the screen to bring it back to life.
    I am going to look in to this part of the phones operation a little more closely to see if there is anything else I can bring up about this...

  • Why my songs get stop when the screen turns dark

    i have problems like this. when a song is playing and if the touch screen turns dark, my song is being disconnected. i have to press the on button and to touch the play icon on the screen again

    Your headphones are not fully inserted.  The white part of the headphones should be flush with the headphone jack, meaning no silver from the headphone's plug can still be seen.

  • IMac G4 screen remains dark

    my 17' G4 iMac USB 2.0 (10.4.11) screen froze and the following messages appeared:
    "System failure: cpu 0 00000008 unaligned stack"
    as well as lots of the following lines:
    "Unresolved kernel trap (cpu 0) 0x600 Alignment DAR" etc
    Had to shut it down by using power switch. Pulled out all cables except for mouse + keyboard.
    I can start it - but there is no start-up chime and screen remains black.
    Tried safe boot, no response. Tried to open drive door during start up for putting in hardware test disc (mouse held down), door won't open.
    Tried PRAM, no response. Tried PMU reset, no change.
    Removed extra RAM I had fitted years ago and tried to start it. After I did that the iMac responds
    with a 4 x beep morse code signal after turning it back on, but screen remains dark.
    Also tried to start in target mode, but other 27' iMac does not "see" G4 iMac.
    Anyone has any thoughts ? Don't want to get rid of this machine, I love the design.
    Thanks
    Walter

    There is some likelihood of a hardware failure, to include
    perhaps, the logic board; some kernel panic issues on an
    iMac G4 could point to such an event.
    Not certain if checking out such a machine at that stage is
    possible with the original Apple Hardware Test, since that
    relies on viewing evidence of the results in said computer.

    While it may not be a major melt-down, you could be in for

    finding other similar iMac G4s (they are getting scarce) to
    use either for parts or as spares should their needs go there.
    I have two running iMac G4 1.25GHz 17" & one in-op for parts.
    A skilled and willing computer shop tech could probably
    test the computer further, but some shops would rather
    you buy something newer from their retail store. In some
    cases, you may be able to get a working iMac G4 17" 1.25

  • MBP retina: wifi drops out when screen goes dark

    Hi there,
    I've got a MBPr 15inch with the latest OSX version (incl. updates).
    When my screen goes dark after 10 minutes of inactivity, my WIFI connection *always* drops out. So if I'm syncing something over Dropbox for instance, it will stop working. I basically have to make sure my laptop never goes inactive for too long. This is really annoying and one of a few other problems I'm having with this MBPr.
    I've searched these forums, and there are people with similar or related problems but I couldn't find any solution yet.
    Anyone else out there similar problems?
    Thanks,
    Kai

    Hi f, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    It sounds like it could be a bad inverter board, but I don't know if that would cause it to happen only while using the power adapter. Depending on your exact model, it could be:

  • I bougnt my S5 a month ago and I am having two major issues.  The screen is very slow to respond.  When the screen is dark and I press the home button, it doesn't come on.  I have to press the button anywhere from 4-10 times and then it usually flashes on

    I bougnt my S5 a month ago and I am having two major issues.  The screen is very slow to respond.  When the screen is dark and I press the home button, it doesn't come on.  I have to press the button anywhere from 4-10 times and then it usually flashes on and back off.  It is very, very frustrating.  The other issue is that the battery drains very quickly.  I have called Verizon numerous times regarding these issues.  They tell me to do different things that never help.  We eventually did a factory reset and it still has the same issues.  Help!  It is a brand new phone and unfortunately I am in a new two year contract.  Ugh. Is there anyone out there who can help me?

    I have done that several times.  In fact, every time I call Verizon with my phone problems, they have me do the same things repeatedly.  I keep telling them I have already done them but they insist they are SURE it will work this time.  It never does.  After doing the factory reset and it still not working correctly, they act like they are confused, almost like I am lying.  I did what you suggested above on the slim chance it would work this time but it did not.  I bought two S5's that day and the other one works perfectly fine.  I know I got a bad phone.  Verizon just does not listen.  It is a bad phone.  I just want a new phone that works properly.  Is that too much to ask?  I bought a new phone that has been bad from day one.  Why oh why do I have to spend hours of my time on the phone, in the store, on the computer, trying to rectify this?  It shouldn't be this difficult!  Help please!!!

  • MacBook Air Boots to OS, then screen goes dark.

    I have recently been working on an older style (A1304) MacBook Air with the 128GB SSD. I've been working on Mac's for years, and have worked on hundreds, but this is the first time I've ever come across this particular issue.
    Liquid damaged MacBook Air. Keyboard and Trackpad mainly took the brunt of the spill. Popped off the keys, cleaned it all up. Button for the trackpad no longer works, but everything else does. Entire computer was disassembled, no other liquid was found.
    MacBook Air boots up normally, and I was using it for a few hours to make sure everything was working fine. Left it to charge. Came back two hours later, and the screen was dark (but the image was still visible, as if the backlight was not on). Could see the mouse pointer moving, but backlight won't come back on. Turned off computer, turned it back on. Backlight works just fine, and it boots to the OS. Within 10 seconds of booting to OS, the screen goes dark (screen goes completely black with no image). Couple seconds later, light on the front starts to "breathe" indicating it's sleeping. Wake it back up, and image appears on the screen, but no backlight. Then it "goes to sleep" again.
    Boot computer to a Flash Drive with Snow Leopard Installer and once the blue screen comes on as if the installer is just about to pop up, it "goes to sleep" immediaetly. Though, the backlight and computer will stay on in the Apple Hardware Test for as long as I want. (ran it several times, "no trouble found". Also reset the PRAM, nothing helps.
    I was wondering if anyone has ever come across this. Completely baffled on whether it's a software or hardware (or combination of the both) issue I'm having.

    The keyboard and trackpad reside on top of the motherboard and all the components of the computer.  The keyboard and trackpad are not liquid proof.  It is VERY likely that the liquid made its way to the motherboard and has affected those components.  If EVER there is liquid spilled on a computer, the last thing you want to do is A. Turn it on to make sure it is working.. and B. Plug it in and charge it.  Do the EXACT opposite.  Unplug and turn off all power, and, if possible, remove the battery from it.  The liquid itself doesnt do the damage...the damage is done when the liquid comes in contact with the circuits and shorts out the contacts and components.  You could try to connect to an external monitor, if you have the means to do so, to see if it makes a difference, but it probably will not.  I seems that the motherboard is not functioning correctly.
