PlayBook Screen Colours Invert When Slight Pressure Applied To Device

Hi, my PlayBook's screen colours mess up when light pressure is applied to back of the device.
http://t.co/mKLeEZS - The first image is what the issue looks like (this is when I lift it off a surface). 2nd - supposed to look like. There is also a video that shows the problem in action.
I believe its a hardware issue.

Hey jonbongato,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
This does seem to be a hardware issue.  Please contact our PlayBook™ Support team for further investigation: http://t.co/DUNQzJJ
Let me know if you have any more questions.  Cheers.

  • Screen colours inverted, also flickers back to normal

    Model: HP15-N096EA
    When the laptop is turned on the screen colurs are inverted i.e. blue becomes orange, white becomes black etc. at times it flickers back to normal colours i.e blue shows as blue etc.
    I have checked magnifers invert colours isn't turned on but when I do turn it on the inverted colours switch to normal colours obviously. There is also a vertical shimmer like every other vertical line is missing or phases in and out.
    I have booted into safe mode to see if its a driver issue but the colours are still inverted, I've booted into the BIOS and again the colours are inverted and just to cover all bases I booted a live DVD of Mint Linux 17.1 and the legendary green of the mint distro was a lovely lilac. I've also tried high contrast i.e. Left ALt + left Shift + Print Screen.
    My feeling is its the graphic chip or the monitor and I'm hedging more towards the monitor. Tomorrow I'll do a screengrab to see how that comes out and will also connect to an external monitor to see if the flicker and shimmer is still present.
    Considering this is literally a month and 6 days out of guarantee it pretty bad, I would have expected a bit longer from a laptop before it started failing. 
    Update from Yesterday: I did a screengrab from the HP using the snipping tool in windows 7, this showed the colours inverted i.e. negative, I saved that screengrab to a USB stick and opened it up on my Mac, the image showed correctly i.e. not as a negative.
    This is the image that is displayed on the laptop, there is no colour inversion, none of the graphics settings appear incorrectly set, I did actually set all settings back to defaults.
    This is the screengrab from the laptop as it displays from another computer, which, in my case was my Mac. The screen appears to be displaying correctly, hence the screengrab image below but for some reason it is displaying an inverted image - Its like there is an overlay on the screen.
    Could the inverter be faulty?
    This question was solved.

    Hi @chubby_ninja ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion 15-n096ea Notebook and issues with the graphics.  If it shows while connected to a different monitor then it is not the graphic card, it is the LCD screen or the cable.
    I would replace this as it is the least expensive. Display panel cable 732066-001 Page 97 of your manual. Or you could take the Notebook to a shop so they could test each of the cable and LCD screen.
    You could call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link to get the support number for your region. They will be happy to assist you immediately.

  • Screen Colours Inverted

    I have a Macbook Pro 15" and yesterday when i turned it on the colours for the most part were inverted on the internal screen. I tried it on an external screen and it works fine. Has this happened to anybody and does anybody know how to fix it? if not i will take it in to get looked at.
    thanks

    Yeah, inverter cable sounds right. I don't think its the video card or logic board, for two reasons: (1) when the problem started, it was caused by moving the screen (it is now permanent) and (2) an external display is fine. To me it seems the likely fix is a cable replacement... with a screen replacement a possibility I suppose. We will see. Its terrible to have something like this when you've owned a machine 3 weeks, but hey, it happens.
    I am going to DC this weekend and will take it to the Arlington Apple Store.. Rather do that than take it to the local "Authorized Service Center." I will make an appointment - I am hoping if its a cable, its something they'll be able to fix if I leave it with them for the day.
    Thanks for the info all!
    PS: I tried resetting both the PRAM and the SMC for kicks - no change.

  • Thunderbolt display changes colour temperature when in full screen mode

    27" Thunderbolt Display connected to MacBook Air (2011) changes colour temperature when in full screen mode. Switching any setting in System Preferences/Displays changes it back to the correct colour. I have also seen this on a 24" LED Display (Display Port) connected to a Mac Book Pro (2011).

    I describe my problem here. I think it's similar, can you see if the console gives you the same error?

  • Playbook screens swiping up and down when using charger

    Hi,
    I am facing an issue with the playbook screens going up and down and opening up icons randomly when I connect the PB to the charger.
    The random behaviour stops once I remove the charger but again continues if I connect the charger.
    Let me know the future course of action.
    Regards
    Suryadeep

    Does this still happen after the 3 button reset?
    If so, you may have a faulty unit. If you're eligible, try contacting BlackBerry with your free 90 day support. 

  • Creeking Noise: When I press lightly on the center left side of my screen I hear I slight creeking noise it occurs with case off as well

    Creeking Noise: When I press lightly on the center left side of my screen I hear I slight creeking noise it occurs with case off as well.  I believe it is coming from the screen.

    No one here can say for sure what Apple will do. You need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have the device looked at, and Apple makes the final determination. If they find a problem with the device, they can replace it.

  • MBP15 Desktop Colours Inverted???

    Boss Man has been fighting this for about a week on his Mac Book Pro 15in
    He uses a external 20 LCD Display as Primary monitor, and it has been working FIne foe 3 months... now in the last week when he starts the MBP and his desktop flashes up... it automatically get inverted ie the desktop colours and menurs and dosk are normal for 1/5 a second then flick to an inverted colour scheme!. When Boss man plugs in his External monitor, both wscreen flick as monitors are refreshed and Ext now is Primary, but desktops are still have inverted colours.
    zapping the PRAM has no effect.
    Loggin off gives the Login screen with normal colours but when loggin back in the desktop colours are inverted again...
    So yesterday I did this fix... I created a new account and used that... well this works display colours do not invert :Yipie: but there is some time and pain involved when moving accounts due to the masses for files stored and permission that need to be set on folders etc.
    So to me this seems like some corrupted Diplay settings.
    My question is What display setting files do I trash to reset the Displays so If this happens agin It will be a 1 minute fix.

    OK my boss came back from a conference and when I asked what how the display issue is he said it was not the Black on White as sugested...
    Close but no Cigar...
    In fact it is the Universal Access -> Display -> Enhance Contrast Slider
    It seems tha Enhance Contrast Slider will not stay where you set it.
    It always wants to be set to Maximum - and this gives us the Inverted display look. When setting the slider to anything else then you logout-login or reboot the screen is inverted and the slider is set to maximum again.
    OK... so which Preference (.plist file) can I delete to clear this?

  • HELP for PLAYBOOK Screen Freeze

    Got a Playbook over the holidays and it was working awesome for a week or so then the screen started to freeze when opening applications, including on start-up. First it happened once in a while when opening up b;lackberry applications, email, news etc... now it seems that it is happening multiple times per day. Read about the soft reset on the forum; (start button and volume up&down simultaneously) on forum and it usually gets it booted up again but sometimes it will get hung-up on the reboot.
    There must be and update to fix this?????

    The freeze happens primarily when I start up the app and happens more often than not with the apps that came with the Playbook.
    The messages, contacts and calendar apps will quite frequently get hung up. I sometimes have to reset more than once as the OS will get stalled on the wavy bubbles colour screensaver that appears when the OS boots up. (I once let it do it's thing for almost 20 minutes before hitting the reset).
    I have deduced that the freezes are more porne to happening when I don't have a wireles connection or immediately after I connect at a new hotspot. It seems to be better when I turn wireless off when I know I'm not within range of a hotspot; howver NFS undercover has also stalled more than once upon opening the app.
    When it freezes I can usually lock the device or put it in sleep mode and when it awakens the unclock screen appears but when I enter my password it returns to the screen freeze. If I do a restart in the soft reset it will get hung up on the wavy bubble screen and never actually start. The only way I can get it to reboot is a hard reset... holding the power button down for an extended period of time.

  • My HP Touchsmart 610 screen is blank when I switch it on. only less that a second screen flash.

    when I turn on my computer hp touchsmart 610 desktop the screen has only less than a second flash and then it's blank and I can't see anything. I used some instructions like pushing f10 key for 5 seconds and reseting the bios and blo blo but it won't work. I also removed cd or usb but it still not working. plesae somebody help.

    Hi Fanoos,
    Although this post is a couple years old, I figured I would give it a reply anyway just so other people with similar issues have a little more up to date info.
    AugyTek is actually the name of my repair shop, and this is a "fun" problem that I see all the time.
    Regarding specifically the Touchsmart 610 system, when you see the flash like that, there is an easy way to tell exactly where the problem is originating from.
    First, check your power supply "brick".  It should be warm to the touch with it plugged in and machine running.  If it feels like it is going to burn your hand, your PS is probably the culprit.  I recommend taking it to your local technical shop, or using a voltmeter if you have one to see exactly what it is putting out.  It should be 19v give or take a couple tenths of a volt.  Anything more than a couple of tenths off and your power supply is probably the culprit, and may have done some additional damage to the PC itself.
    If everything is good there, now it's time to assess internally.  Power off the machine, disconnect the power supply, hold the power button in for a couple of seconds until the green light on the back is no longer lit.  Follow the instructions on the HP website to removing both the left and right covers on the back of the PC.  (Take proper precautions for static electricity.)
    Take out the Hard Drive and the RAM.  replace the covers, but no need to screw them in.  Plug your power supply back in and power the machine on.
    You should get one short and one long beep and nothing should display on the screen.  This is testing for proof of life from the board.  If you get no beeps, your board is malfunctioning and sadly with these it often is easier and cost effective to just get a new machine than replace the board.
    If you get beeps, the board is fine and you need to replace one stick of ram after powering off properly again and then start it up.  You should be able to see the "no boot media" message it displays because the system will halt.  
    If the lettering is fuzzy, diminished, in a low resolution, or looks anything other than normal, the likely cause is video related.  You now have to determine to what extent the video is malfunctioning.  
    (Yes, I know that you probably arrived at this conclusion already that the something was messed in the video/display area, but I can't tell you how many times I have asked people if they have tested for other things and they say no or how do you do that?  By ruling out other malfunctions, you arrive with the correct solution faster.)
    You can power the machine down and remove the back covers and carefully reseat ALL micro style cables that you can see.   There should be 3 in the top left, 2 on the inverter (the thing with the cover), and then 4 in the top right that are kind of hard to manage.  These cables are all related to power, with some related to video and the touchscreen itself.
    So now boot the system up normally, if you still have the one second screen, then attempt to plug in USB devices, insert a CD/DVD, and if you have one handy, use a USB to VGA adapter.  If any of these things do not initalize/work properly with the typical windows sound when you plug them in, the likely cause is your motherboard, related to power issues.  
    If your board is not able to route enough power through it past the graphical chip, into the inverter, and the LCD, power USB devices, etc., this is a tell tale sign that your machine has issues supplying enough power to all these things.  This is why you will see the one second screen everytime you turn the screen on or wake it out of standby, because there isn't enough or consistent power to keep the system running normally.  
    Because it is fairly cost prohibitive and time consuming to replace the board, you can pretty much write off the system.
    Now if your USB devices and Optical drive work fine and everything initializes, you may be able to get away with replacing the inverter.  These parts do go bad, and the inverter, which sits on top of the optical drive in the system is naturally exposed to heat from the DVD drive and is a really bad design flaw.  Replacing this may solve your problem.
    If it is replaced and you still have the same issue, likely your problem is with the LCD screen itself, and again... not really worth it to replace it.
    If it is your board and power issues, if you are hell bent on repairing this, and you are familiar with how to reflow a board, or know a professional that can attempt it, you certainly can give it a whirl.  DO NOT attempt the unprofessional ways to reflow a board as you see on some videos.  Whereas these methods can work, you need to have an intricate knowledge of electronics and temperature effects on circutry to even warrant attempting them.  
    Some people say a hair dryer will work, but the problem is then you dont know exactly how much heat you are at temperature wise, and a hair dryer will auto cool and heat it's coils as it sees fit to maintain it's own stability, where as a genuine heat gun will not.  Again, if you don't have experienced knowlege in reflowing boards, I wouldn't recommend doing it.  
    By reflow, I am referring to reflowing the solder in the board.  Unless a visible malfunctioned blown or bulged capacitor is present, reflowing the solder to it's original paths is done by the way of keeping the board level, and gradually and evenly heating the board up to a temperature to where solder melts.  Solder will naturally go back into it's original form at a certain temperature and reseal any cracks or breaks in the solder, thereby repairing the flow of electricity for that certain component.  This is also assuming the component that has the solder is not damaged as well.
    This process is best left to professionals with proper equipment, because you can in fact to irrepariable damage to the board if you are inexperienced.  Being careful will not save you in this instance.
    The one thing you want to remember with All in ones, and especially touch screens, is that they generate an AMAZING amount of heat.    Any blockage from dust or covered vent ports can quickly lead to your machines demise.  Due to the design of any All in one, heat has been, and probably always will be an issue with these units.

  • When I try to sync photos, I followed all the steps, picked one folder.  When I hit "apply" I get this error message: Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad.  This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad. What have I done wrong

    When I try to sync photos or music, I followed all the steps, picked onle folder, not the whole library.  When I hit "apply" I got this message:
    Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad.  This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad" What can I change to just download the photos and not interfere with the apps?
    (By the way, the memory is not even one quarter full)
    Thanks for your help - Pat

    I have the same problem.  I updated my mac to 10.5, which then had me update apps like itunes, etc. then it wanted me to sync my purchased music to my ipad before i updated the ipad...which worked ok. then when i was syncing the photos i got the same message when i hit "apply" asking are you sure you want to delete the 12 apps from the ipad -  clicked "no" and brought me back to the original screen. Got the same message when trying to move them from the hard drive to the ipad.  WHat is going on and how do I correct this? Thanks

  • Colour shift when placing PSD files into illustrator

    Hi there
    I have tested this issue on CS 3,4 and 5.
    bascially if I create a CMYK document with a colour image and save this down as a psd file with the coated Fogra 39 embedded in it. If I create a new file within Illustrator with the same colur management and place the psd file into the document and check the link option (so it is a linked file), the colour shifts when using the colour picker. If I print the document from each APP they visually look different as well.
    If I place the psd into illustrator without selecting the link option the colour has the same CMYK values as the psd within Photoshop and also prints correctly.
    i can only assume that there is an option somewhere in regards to the "link" option and how this changes tha colour values somewhere? If not is there anyway I can get around this issue so I can use linked files without the CMYK values changing?
    Thanks in advance
    Paul

    Hi guys
    Thanks for the responses.
    I use bridge to blanket the colour settings so this i feel this is not the issue here. If you have a moment and would kindly create a colour tint within PS of what ever colour, save this down as any format and place this into illustrator with the link checkbox checked you will see the colour data has physically changed for the CMYK values. This results in the prints looking different as well. If you deselct the link check box when placing the file the CMYK values are the same.
    I tried the overprint preview option. This changes the viewable colour on screen but not the CMYK data of the file.
    There seems to be a fundamental floor with this link option for some reason.
    I might have phone Adobe direct for this iisue as I cannot find a fix for this.
    Many thanks
    Paul

  • Torch 9800 touch screen only works when slid open.

    Hello everyone, this is my 1st post but I've been lurking the forum for some time. I'm running a Torch 9800 on AT&T right now on v6.0.0.600
    This is what's happened with my phone: as the subject notes, my touch screen only seems to work when I slide open the phone.
    What I've tried so far that doesn't work: rolling back software, rolling the software forward again, hard resets, soft resets, adjusting intervals for the touch screen.
    The weird part is that I saw an older thread that had the exact opposite problem(touch screen only worked when the phone was slid closed). I have a level/ruler app for my phone and it's showing that the phone knows when it's tilted/angle/orientation. I've also closed the phone, opened it slightly (about the width of my thumb) and it stays horizontally oriented + I'm able to use the touch keyboard that way.
    Anybody have a suggestion as to what I can try next to fix this? I haven't gone so far as to just go and get a 9810 yet, but i'm considering it.

    Thanks for the post.
    Has it in anyway fallen or pressed hard at any point? It could be the belt, which would just need you to go with it to a certified repair center and get it secured.
