Pixelated Screen - shimmering green and pink

I posted this over in the display forum but im not getting much help over there. thought i would post here and get a bigger crowd.
anyways, on my ibook, the screen is very pixelated. it reminds me of when you put a video card in a pc and there are no drivers installed for it. there is a shimmering green and pink effect all over the screen. mostly in the shadows though.
i have already tried to adjust the resolution and colors. nothing changes the way it looks. current setting is at 1024x768 with millions of colors selected.
i took a screen shot and transferred it to my pc and opened it in Photoshop. The screen shot looks flawless and none of the above symptoms are there.
so is the LCD bad? maybe the inverter?

If you have the external video adapter, as included with the iBook when new, you could check the non-LCD
components to some extent by seeing if you can run an external display; and if the images view correctly,
the internal display has secondary issues that can be further troubleshooted by you or a tech.
There are some software utilities out there which may work to help use an external display; but I don't use
them and so can't recommend them. A few were not supported officially, but people used them in iBooks.

My ipad screen turned green and pink

i restart my ipad2 it dosen't work

Hey jedivan27,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having display issues with your iPad 2 and you have already attempted to restart it. To completely isolate the issue, let's try resetting your device as well:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the issue persists after a reset, let’s see if we can isolate to software or hardware by backing up and restoring your device as new:
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
Thanks,

My iPhone screen turned green and pink and now wont turn on or off and is unresponsive. Tried holding down power/sleep button, tried plugging into itunes, all with no success. HELP!

Did you also try to connect in recovery mode, explained here:

Blackberry torch screen goes green and pink when it is slid up..

my phone has been working for the past year fine, today i was walking and recieved a message, i slid the phone up to type my password in and the screen went multicoloured and froze, i then took the battery out and waited 15 - 20 seconds before re-inserting the batter and left it to power up, once it powered up i slid it up again and the screen is still not right, i have done a 'master reset' to see if anything changes and it is still the same..

The first thing to do is a battery pull. Since you've done that to no avail, let's jump right to an OS reload. Plug your phone in to your PC and open BlackBerry Desktop Software. Click Device at the top of the software then Update. If it shows a newer version and you want it, load that one. If it says you're up to date, click View Other Versions and pick the one with Currently Installed beside it.
If that doesn't work, you'd be best to talk to T-Mobile about warranty work or exchange.
I hope that helps you.
- If my response has helped you, please click "Options" beside my post and mark it as solved. Clicking the "thumbs up" icon near the bottom of my response would also be appreciated.

If i go to high res (720p or higher) my screen turns green and the video fast forwards to the end.

Hi,
I have windows 7 64 bit and use mozila firefox 15.0.1
I have got the problem that when i select higher resolution in videos (such as on youtube) that at 480p it will run for a while but then just stops even though the buffering is already complete.
If i go to higher resolutions like 720p or 1080p the video will run for a while again but then the screen goes green and the movie fast forwards to the end preventing me to watch movies without problems at higher res.
If u want more information about my problems or know a solution pls tell me.
Manny thanks,
Avalondra.

Could you try temporarily disabling protected mode to see if that makes a difference (instructions towards the bottom of the FAQ linked below)? I'll circle back with our video team to see if they've made any progress with this issue.

HI!
I´m having same problem with quicktime files from newtek. When imported they are all green.
I tryed to import in other softwares and looks fine. Even in Premiere CS5 is OK with Maverick.
I think the problem is Yosemite with CC. Must have some issue with codec orsomething.
Many people are having problems since yosemite upgrade! Whats going on with codecs?

Image Manipulation is making green and pink thumbnails

Using the coldfusion 8 image manipulation we are getting thumbnails that the colors are all green and pink. This seems to only affect the thumbnails and not the larger resized images. See screenshot for example. Any ideas why this is happening or how to fix it?
The functions being used are ImageWrite and ImageScaleToFit.

Videos Showing Green and Pink (Preview and Export)

I've imported a series of MTS videos. In the timeline - the color is fine. In the Source/Program monitors, they get a weird green and pink overlay. Any thoughts?

When I converted with Media Encoder to MP4, it still happened.
After reading all the posts, here's what I did: emptied the Media Cache in
PP, then downloaded PP '14
It went away, for whatever reason

My screen has greens and black lines going down the middle an I can't access anything. What could be wrong? It happened all the sudden.

You're welcome! I feel your pain - both "closest" Apple Stores to me are almost 2 hours away. When I called for another problem under warranty the AppleCare guy checked my zip code and found an AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) 20 minutes from me I had no idea existed. They diagnosed the problem (bad bluetooth keyboard) and ordered a new one for me. The AppleCare person will probably use this http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/ so you can check it now. And AppleCare could well diagnose your problem over the phone anyway. And I feel certain it wasn't something you did inadvertently.

My ipad screen is shimmering green and pixelated. What's happening

My ipad screen is shimmering and pixelated. I've tried restarting and restoring from backup. Everything still seems to work, but the screen looks shimmery and pixelated. How do I fix this?

I have an old iPad 3 that has taken a beating, and the screen occasionally shifts colors (blue, green, or red). It would look about like this:
http://ipadhelp.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/ipad-screen-colour-problem-620x40 0.jpg
This is going to sound dumb, but this always fixes it for me:
Lay the ipad flat on your lap, open your hand, and with fingers spread, gently but firmly smack the screen of the iPad. I sometimes have to do it 3-5 times (mostly because I'm afraid to hit it too hard!), but it consistently resolves the problem for me.

Mac randomly crashes, screen turns green and white, and it works fine upon restart. What causes this and how can I fix it?

My MacBook Pro 13 inch (I've had it for about a year and a half) has started crashing randomly. It happens about once a week and it will happen when I'm in the middle of either watching a video, typing a paper, playing a game, etc. The computer clicks loudly and the screen becomes a series of green and white lines. It works fine upon restart, but it's still annoying whenever it happens. What causes this? Is it fixable?

The image suggests an issue with the graphics board.
The issue may happen more when your machine is generating additional heat, as when you're watching or processing video, or gaming. I can't say for certain, of course, but certain things will reduce the chance of the problem recurring:
1. Keep your machine as cool as possible. When there's additional heat, turn up the fan, or use an app like HD Fan Control to reduce the heat. Use your computer the way you see fit, but be conscious of heat.
2. Back up on a regular basis. Logic board problems can lead to more serious issues down the line, so backing up is a good way of safeguarding your data.
3. Look up "Logic Board Woes" on Google for a comprehensive discussion of the issue.
