Playbook Screen split brightness

I bought my Playbook Thursday the 5th.  During some troubleshooting for another issue Thursday and Friday, at some point the playbook screen split down the center and the left side is brighter than the right (when the bb is oriented with the power and volume buttons at the top).  Adjusting the brightness in the Screen settings causes both sides to dim and brighten, with the left side always being brighter.  If I take a screenshot, the image created does not have the split.
Does this sound more like a hardware issue and its likely the device needs to be replaced?  Is it possible that it's a software issue that could be resolved?

First, please do a restart on the Playbook.
Press and hold the power button a couple secdonds while pressing the Volume Up key and you will see an onscreen message to turn off or restart. Touch the Restart.
After reboot, does the screen remain split in brightness?

    Please help, my playbook is giving me problems. Half the screen is brighter than the other half and has tell tale signs of screen burn...... It switched off earlier today so i put it on charge and now that the green charge light stopped flashing, i turned it on to find this problem.....

    Hello shnozi and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet.
    Reboot your tablet by tapping the Battery icon and selecting Restart. After the restart completes, does the screen look normal?
    What software version does your tablet have installed? You can find this under Options>About.

  • Screen splitting error and red boot screen

    Hi, I was using my macbook pro just now and the screen started to glitch and show black vertical bars and the displayed image was split up. I tried to see if there's an unresponsive program that i can force quit then the screen just turned grey and was stuck there.
    I then manually restarted the mac, it prompted me with a press button to continue booting up screen then it was stuck on the grey screen again.
    I tried to start in safe mode then it booted with a red screen and i believed did a system check. But I'm not sure. It then got stuck on the grey screen again.
    I rebooted the machine manually and then now it booted up fine.
    It has happened twice before. Once the split screen issue was solved by quitting Spotify and the second time similar events happened as described above.
    I have previously taken the mac to the genius bar and they ran a hardware check and found that everything was fine. Since I couldn't reproduce the error whilst being in the store they said there was nothing they could do.
    Update:
    The screen splitting issue has occurred at least twice since the event happened above. I have managed to collect another problem report which i can show in addition to the first one.
    I believe that there is a problem with the dedicated graphics card since whenever i use gfxCardStatus to switch to the AMD Radeon HD 6490M graphics card the screen splitting problem occurs. The problem also occurs when the machine automatically switches to the dedicated graphics card with things like Spotify, Google maps and other more intensive applications. Moreover, the second time the problem occurred when i was streaming a TV show and gfxCardStatus showed that the machine has switched to the dedicated Radeon card.
    I'm not sure what i can do about it right now other than trying not to use the dedicated graphics card.  Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks!
    If it helps, I've upgraded the ram myself previously. But that was a few years ago and didn't show any problems when i first installed it.
    It is an early 2011 Macbook Pro with OS X Mavericks 10.9.4
    The split screen issue looks like this:
    Apologies for the rotated image I don't know how to rotate it on the site.
    It also appears identical to the one shown here, three posts down: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15920113
    The problem report of the first event is shown here:

  • Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK

    Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK with plug-in keyboard and mouse

    Hi, Derek -
    ...the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink.
    Sounds like Spaces is being activated somehow. With the wired keyboard and mouse in use, select the Exposé & Spaces control pane in System Preferences, click the choice in that pane for Spaces. See what the settings are. There are some activation settings in that pane - by default, F8 activates it.
    It could be that the bluetooth keyboard has some stuck keys and is activating Spaces; or that the activation command has somehow been reset to something that the bluetooth mouse, or bluetooth itself, is triggering.

  • Screen turns bright yellow & green curser turns into a large yellow square.

    When I play any type of 3d game, such as world of warcraft my screen turns bright yellow and green. The mouse cursor turns into a large yellow square. Then it will make squiggly patterns across the screen in these colors, Almost like a argyle pattern. The only way to fix this is force quit the program (or if I can see the game still) I have to make it non-full screen. Iam thinking it might be a video card error, but iam not sure. Anyone experience this before?
    Steve.
    Imac   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   First gen Imac with intel chip 20 inch. 128 vid card.

    Are you running your monitor at its native resolution? If changing the resolution of the game solves the problem as I take it from your sentence quoted here:
    "The only way to fix this is force quit the program (or if I can see the game still) I have to make it non-full screen"
    Then you probably should try changing the resolution of the screen before playing the game. Most games will do this automatically but if the ones you are playing do not then you may need to search for updates to them. Very few games are designed to run in wide screen mode, but generally in more traditional resolutions such as 640 x 480 or some other resolution with the same relationship between width and height.
    This is my best guess anyway. Hope you get the problem solved.

  • Is The 24" iMac Screen Too Bright For Longevity ?

    I have just been in an Apple Store testing both the 20" and 24".
    I had heard that the 24" screen was brighter but assumed that, like so many claims, it would only be a marginal difference.
    I was amazed to see that it was considerably brighter, making the 20" look extremely dull by comparison.
    I checked and found that both machines were on maximum brightness. Even set to minimum, the 24" seemed brighter.
    I don't know about LCDs but with "normal" electric bulbs, over-running them can give a brilliant but brief life.
    Are these new monitors naturally bright or are they being over-run and likely to burn out just after the warranty expires?
    Ian.

    I realise we are dealing with a different technology.
    Does that mean that the brightness will have no detrimental effect on longevity?
    Ian.

  • My screen reduces brightness while using apple tv, any suggestions?

    My screen reduces brightness while using my apple tv - any suggestions?

    Does it just look darker all the time or does the brightness change over time?
    If it just looks darker, check Settings>Video and if set to RGB Low try RGB High or YCrCb.
    I was watching a digital copy of final Harry Potter last night that came bundled with the Blu Ray - could not believe how dark the film was - I used to routinely use RGB Low on AppleTV1, and such settings options have only just appeared on AppleTV2.  I could see hardly any shadow detail on RGB Low, much improved on RGB High.

  • Make screen (physically) brighter

    hi, i have noticed that my toshiba satellite (2007) screen is very dim compared to say an apple compouter or macbook.. i have already increased brightness all the way through the settings, and increased brightness & gamma through the chip settings, but it's still maybe only half as bright as other laptops i see
    is there any way to physically increase brightness, through the power/hardware? for example, switching the resistor.. or some kind of power booster for the particular circuit that controls the screen's brightness?
    thanks!

    Nope. Not without costing more than a replacement laptop would cost.
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

  • GP70 screen too bright

    Hi, I just bought a GP70 2PE with Core i7 and so far I quite like it. I installed Windows 7 x64 instead of the default Windows 8.
    However, I have one problem with it - the screen is very bright - even on the lowest setting, the screen is brighter than my old laptop (a 9 year old Acer 5020) on the highest setting. While a bright screen will be great for outdoors use (or in other brightly lit places), using the laptop in a dark place hurts my eyes (while the old laptop and the CRT monitor of my main PC do not).
    Opening the graphics control panel and setting brightness.contrast to minimum helps a bit but makes the image look bad. Is thee a way to reduce the backlight brightness (without opening the laptop and modding the backlight circuit, which I could do, but do not want to lose the warranty)?

    I would like to thank Lenn and Dennis for your suggestions, all of which I have now tried. I've taken so long to respond because I wanted to wait 24 hours - and another night - to see if one is better than another. Changing the screen profile made a very small difference, and at first Brightness seemed to do a better job, but the overall winner in terms of flexibility is undoubtedly Shades, which I'm using right now.
    Thanks again, both of you!

  • 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. 

  • Shortcut "Z" not working, screen  momentary brighter

    Hello,
    i have a Macbook Pro Retina with hopefully the latest Garage Band (10 or 11?).
    Anyway I have a problem with the keyboard shortcuts. For example if I press "Z"
    to jump to the beginning of the tracks nothing happens but the screen gets brighter
    for a short time..
    I have noticed this behavior on several shortcuts.
    Anybody an idea what's the problem?
    THX and best regards, Hubert

    Hubert,
    to see your GarageBand version, use the menu command "GarageBand > About GarageBand".
    If it is showing Version 10.0.2, you are indeed having the newest GarageBand version.
    Then hit the "return" key to go to the beginning of a track.
    The list of keyboard shortcuts is here:
    http://help.apple.com/garageband/mac/10.0/#gbnd715f33a0
    Many shortcuts from the older GarageBand '11 no longer work, and not all keys are documented.
    -- Léonie
    For example if I press "Z"
    to jump to the beginning of the tracks nothing happens but the screen gets brighter
    for a short time..
    Added - the blinking, brighter screen is the error message for an undefined keyboard shortcut.

    iphoto causes half my screen to be reversed (screen split with the right side half now on the left side and the left hand side on the right.) and screen gets multiple blurry copies. Also the computer freezes. Any suggestions about a fix? Can I delete iphoto and reinstall? If so, will I lose my photos?

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Help, I just gave iTunes the assignment to update my iPhone5 to iOS7 and now it gives an unknown error (6). The iPhone is still hooked to my laptop, and shows the black screen and bright Apple with the horizontal bar, telling it's in the middle of something. What should I do?

    DFU mode? How do I do that? So far the only thing I can do is hold down both buttons to power it on and nothing is on the screen and it wont reconize on my computer....

    I don't know exactly what the issue is, but I think I do. Are you talking about what happens when you start up your MBP, full brightness, with power cable in - and when you're using battery only, the brightness dims? If so, this is a feature designed to make sure your monitor is bright enough while using batteries - but not so bright as to cause an undue drain on power.
    I don't know about a cure to this issue, if indeed this is what you're talking about.
