Powerbook G4 17 Fuzzy LCD/Purple tint?

Hey all,
I recently picked up a used G4 17" Powerbook, 1.5 Ghz with a cracked display. I just replaced the LCD, and now I have video, but for lack of a better description, at native resolution (1440x900) all text is distorted - almost as if looking through a vertical 'window screen' like you'd have on your house windows. Dropping to any other resolution helps (it's readable) and the whole screen has a purple tint. (Not pink like a bad or failing backlight, but like a light lavender color overpowering everything.) - Knowing the LCD panel was new, I bought a new LVDS cable, but it didn't change anything.
Resetting the nvram and PRAM did nothing, and when hooked up to an external display the image and color is absolutely perfect. Did I get a bad replacement LCD?
Thanks in advance all!

I did try calibrating the display with no change, and also replaced the LCD cable running from the logic board to the back of the LCD with zero change in the picture. Given the output on an external display is absolutely perfect, I'm at a loss to solve this issue. The only thing I can think of is that the new LCD is crap. And it is a brand new LG LP171W01 just like the original.

  • LCD as second screen has purple tint!! Help!!

    Hello all,
    I have just connected a 19" LCD screen to my iBook 14" through the DVI adapter that came with my mac. While the iBook has instantaneously mirrored my desktop, the LCD screen has a heavy purple tint on it. The screen on my iBook is still fine but the LCD screen is unworkable. Everything appears on it, its just heavily purple-ised. Does anyone know why this is, and what I can do about it?
    Any help greatly appreciated
    regards,
    Glen Kristensen

    Sorry, my mistake, the LCD screen I am using as a second screen is 17" not 19". I Have tried on another screen (but the same model) so I am sure the problem is with the iBook. I don't really see why the iBook underpowering the external screen would make it turn purple. Let me just clarify, the screen is displaying everything crystal clearly, the only problem is that there is a purple hue or tint over everything. So for example the colour white isn't white on the second screen but purple.

  • Screen fuzzy and purple tinged

    i turned on my laptop last night and the display is fuzzy and purple tinged all over .... the computer is just over 1 year old so no longer under warrenty.
    i am to start a new job in the new year and need to use this laptop - hoping someone is able to help ... i just don't know where to start
    ibook   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    The same problem, i have my iBook one year two days and the LCD display change colors and sometimes flash it and goes very white. The video card is ok i make the hardware test and no problems appears, i plugin anothers displays like a CRT, LCD and the TV and the colors and brightness are OK.
    Sorry, my english is bad. Please I need Help from Apple in Chile the Support is not so good.
    Thanks

  • Apple, I have an iPhone 5 and the purple tint in pictures is real and is going to be the most costly mistake to have changed the lens to a sapphire crystal lens. This is HUGE! Why did you fix what is not broken?

    Why, because some clumsy, careless humans couldn't stop scratching a less that 1/4 inch wide lens?  That is no reason for replacing the lens and pandering to their inability to handle advanced technology is not going to push the technology forward. Tossing out cheap cases like you did for the imagined iPhone 4 antenna "problem" will not fix this VERY real problem. I have been a loyal customer since 2005 and this, as stated in the title, could be your most costly mistake. Either your software engineers are going to have to compensate for the purple tint appearing in photos or you're going to sacrifice massive profits to physically replace the lens in every iPhone 5 you have sold and continue to sell. I've read that Apple customer service has tried to sweep this away by falsely claiming that the purple tint is "normal". It is absolutely not normal by any stretch of the imagination. Do not be silent Apple customers! Let the complaints pour like Niagara Falls or settle for the garbage that has been sold.
    My former iPhone 4 took better pics.
    I hope Apple didn't do the same with the pending iPad mini or this could turn into a maelstrom that even Steve Jobs would not have tolerated.

    It is pretty short so here is the entire text:
    Symptoms
    A purplish or other colored flare, haze, or spot is imaged from out-of-scene bright light sources during still image or video capture.
    Resolution
    Most small cameras, including those in every generation of iPhone, may exhibit some form of flare at the edge of the frame when capturing an image with out-of-scene light sources. This can happen when a light source is positioned at an angle (usually just outside the field of view) so that it causes a reflection off the surfaces inside the camera module and onto the camera sensor. Moving the camera slightly to change the position at which the bright light is entering the lens, or shielding the lens with your hand, should minimize or eliminate the effect.
    Which is exactly what eelw wrote.

  • [Solved] X11 has purple tint when using catalyst-test drivers

    Hey guys, so I turned the TV on for my HTPC last night hoping to watch some anime. But when it turned on the screen had a purple tint! I tried to do some debugging over SSH from my phone while in bed, but decided to just go to sleep instead.
    Tonight I narrowed down the problem a bit, it's certainly related to the catalyst drivers (No problems when using xf86-video-ati).
    I'm noticing warnings from various programs that look like
    libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile
    Taking a screenshot using `scrot` and viewing it the screen looks fine..
    Here's my xorg.conf (which is just the default genearted by aticonfig --initial)
    Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "aticonfig Layout"
    Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
    EndSection
    Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
    Option "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
    Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
    Option "DPMS" "true"
    EndSection
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
    Driver "fglrx"
    BusID "PCI:0:1:0"
    EndSection
    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"
    Device "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
    Monitor "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
    DefaultDepth 24
    SubSection "Display"
    Viewport 0 0
    Depth 24
    EndSubSection
    EndSection
    I suspected that it might have been a package upgrade, but downgrading packages that looked like they might have been the problem didn't solve anything.
    Any ideas?
    Edit: Just tried with xorg1.13 with Catalyst 13.4 (stable).. same problem.
    Edit 2: After starting and then stopping X this problem happens in the framebuffer too.. hmmm (It doesn't happen during boot time or during initial login, it's not a bad cable connection!)
    Edit 3: The problem does not occur when using the VGA d-sub output, only when using the HDMI output
    Edit 4: Here's my Xorg.0.log

    This was fixed by changing the "Pixel Format" in the catalyst control center to "RGB (Full RGB)".. Somehow it got changed to "YcBcr".
    I removed the /etc/ati/amdpcsdb file that the fglrx driver likes to put settings in and did a fresh reinstall of catalyst-test and everything looks good now. Really no idea how the pixel profile got changed. Also noticed that my resolution was much lower than it should have been (which for some reason doesn't affect XBMC which runs in native resolution no matter what?), but that was an easy fix of adding Mode "1920x1080" to my Display section in xorg.

  • Start up screen purple tint, won't boot, then vertical blue lines

    I'm having trouble with my  macbook pro late  2011 model running maverick
    When I try turning it on I get a start up screen with a purple tint then the apple logo just disappears and the entire screen is with that purple tint (see pic below, sorry if tint isn't too visible and also for the upside down pic, this pc is driving me crazy)
    Then when I try booting in safe mode the screen suddenly turns to a screen with blue vertical lines as below.
    Funny thing is that a few days later everything went back to normal, then a few weeks later happened again. Now third time it's happening. I also notice once or twice the fan was working hard prior to computer freezing... perhaps not related not sure.
    Took it to an apple service center and they tested for 3 days and werent able to come up with solution they ordered a replacement display and in a few weeks will replace. They say if that doesn't work they'll have to replace the video card..
    Anyone have any clue what this might be?
    When I called Apple support they were inclined to suggest it's defective memory non apple, but I don't see that to be the case...
    I'm overseas and can't bring in to apple store.. thanks

    Thank you
    Where I'm currently located no local apple only a authorized service center... brought to them and they decided to order a new display panel. I have to wait two weeks til they get it then if that doesn't work they'll order a new motherboard..
    They ran a series of tests on the notebook for two dates... wouldn't they have uncovered if it was memory related?

  • N8 purple tint issue

    Hi friends
    recently i observed purple tint on my n8 I've taken to Nokia care and shown my friends n8 along with mine for showing them the difference
    thEY realised it and taken my mobile to replace led after two days when i taken from them now it is showing black tint
    i don't know whether they replaced my display or tuned it
    what should i do?
    wamsy

    If a Nokia N8 (or Nokia C7) is determined by a Nokia Care point to have purple tint, the screen is replaced.
    Perhaps you could explain what you mean by "black tint"? Have you discussed your concerns with the NCP that carried out the work on your behalf?

  • HELP! Two new HTC Thunderbolts & one screen has a purple tint!

    So I just bought two HTC Thunderbolts, got them all set up and then realized that one has a purple tint!  I compared all the settings to the other phone and everything matched.
    The color was like this before any 3rd party applications were downloaded & the phone is not rooted or altered in any way.
    I've googled to try to find any calibration apps or if anyone else has this problem and have come out unsuccessful.  I know I can always perform a hard reset but wanted to see if there is any other alternate way to fix this issue.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Thanks for all the feed back!  Certainly is a strange issue for a brand new, out of the box phone.  I did in fact perform the master reset, went through the setup process, personalized the phone & long behold, the same issue. 
    Again, I compared the settings to the other Thunderbolt; Identical.  Tried different wallpapers, skins, themes and nothing has changed.
    Went through and checked for SW update, there was a firmware update that I did start.  After it was completed, same issue.
    I'm at a loss for what may be causing this.  I mean, it is bothersome that EVERYTHING on the screen has a purple tint... 
    I'm not 100% sure that this is a "warranty" issue?  Maybe it's something AraceliT_VZW can answer for me? 
    Thanks for all the help!

  • Events in iPhoto show a purple tint for half a second when scrolling

    After installing Mountain Lion my 27" iMac (May 2011) started showing events in iPhoto wahsed in a purple or reddish tint for less than half a second, when I scroll down or up quickly. Then they turn to their normal colors. Every time I scroll up or down rapidly, all new events appearing onscreen are tinted in purple, then become normal. The same happens with iTunes covers or when in Safari I zoom in by double tapping my Magic mouse. Seems to be connected with JPEG files being displayed abnormallyt for some reason.
    I know this is not a major issue but it is bothersome and actually it should not happen.
    Can anyone help?
    My iPhoto library contains 46.000 photos in 950 events.

    When the event is clicked, it opens with the photos that I chose for the event.
    So when you enter the event you can see the photos, right? Are you able to view the photos in the Photo mode?
    Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Connecting powerbook g4 to samsung lcd le32 r7

    does anyone know how to connect a powerbook g4 to a samsung lcd le32 r7. At the moment im using a dvi to vga adapter. The mac can see the tv but the tv cannot see the mac. i have tried different modes on the tv and different screen resolutions but none seem to work. The adapter works fine with a normal crt monitor is it worth buying a dvi to vga cable or does anyone know how to get it to work via dvi hdmi?
    powerbook g4    

    I would use a DVI to HDMI cable, and you'll have to use a separate audio cable also. A number of people on Amazon have recommended http://www.monoprice.com/products/department.asp?c_id=109 as a good cable source. If you look in your Samsung user guide, I think you'll find that S-video doesn't support as high a resolution as HDMI.

  • My RAW files look fine on my camera but turn darker with a purple tint on Photoshop and Bridge

    I took some pictures at a gig last night, the lighting was quite good for a change and I was really pleased with how they turned out. The lighting at the gig gave all the photographs a red tint which I don't like but they were all bright enough. As soon as I opened them up in Adobe Bridge they all looked fine one minute but then gradually started to change to a much darker purple colour! I opened them up in Photoshop and they were the same. I then put the card back in my camera and they were fine again, brighter and more detailed with a red tint. When I opened them up in Bridge again they were dark! Any suggestions on why this is happening?

    Here is what we're talking about:
    In another raw converter, RawTherapee, the image is almost entirely magenta:
    Likewise in a raw-analysis program called RawDigger:
    Finally, in Canon's DPP software we can see the image is using the Portrait Picture Style:
    But if we change the Picture Style to Standard, then the lighting appears to be more magenta, again:
    Which is especially apparent if we brighten things a little:
    So my analysis would be that the Adobe Standard was a reasonable rendering of the raw data and camera white-balance, it's just that the camera was set to some non-standard settings, so corresponding adjustments needed to be made in Adobe software to match.

  • Can Powerbook connect to sony LCD flat panel fo simultaneous display?

    I want to buy the Sony KDL-52XBR2 LCD flat panel and connect my Powerbook G4 using an HDMI or HD-15 Pin cable for simultaneous display.
    While the TV specs say it will allow a PC to connect and display, I have had trouble in the past with Mac/tv connectivity because of video driver issues in either the Powerbook or the tv. I could not get both screens to display simultaneously (without parts being cut off at the bottom or sides). Apple would not support my question as the "connected device" (the tv) was not an apple product.
    Before I spend the money on a new TV, I would like to know if anyone has had success with "plug-and-play" connectivity to a 42" or 50" plasma or LCD flat panel, in particular a Sony product.
    Thanks in advance for sharing.

    There is no reliable way to know if a random TV will or will not suffer from the "overscan" problem where the top, bottom and sides are cut off. Many TVs do this and there is no way to get around it.
    What I would do is take your PowerBook to the retailer where you are buying the TV and ask them if you can hook up the PB to the floor model. That is the only way to know for sure if it works to your satisfaction. Either that or, if you have a specific TV and know its model number, you might be able to ask your question again and get an answer from someone that already owns the TV. The AVSforum.com are a good place to check for various TV models.

  • Powerbook screen - weird fuzzy flickering pixels

    Hi
    We have a Powerbook that has suddly developed a problem with its screen.
    At random times, red/pink shimmering pixels will appear.
    Here's a photo of the screen: http://www.v12digital.com/powerbookg4screen.jpg
    They will just appear at randon, and can stay for a few seconds, or until the computer is rebooted.
    I ran an extended hardware test, and everything passed. I've also reinstalled OS X 10.4 using the Erase & Install option.
    This seemed to fix it, but about an hour later, the fuzzy pixels appears again.
    I've seen other messages about weird screens, but they're all different to this.
    I would appreciate any help with this. Any ideas as to what it could be?
    Thanks.

    Greetings ...
    I'm no expert so can't suggest much. I have just noticed that my pixel and screen issue although recent (past 3 months) aren't nearly as severe or consistent as others in the forum. I notice the issue perhaps more when operating on battery power, text iChats, and when I have many applications open/running. My inquires lead me to believe that high temperatures have caused issues with other brand laptops. However I'm still not convinced its software and hardware related.
    I have recently downloaded the iStat Menus from the Apple downloads page (free) http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/istatmenus.html. I chose the menu bar option, however there are two others to choose from including a widget. With this little utility you can monitor fan speed, temperature, cpu usage among other parameters. My fans are capable of spinning up to 2800+ RPM which I believe is adequate for cooling.
    Next I downloaded Andrea Fabrizi's G4 Fan Control http://www.andreafabrizi.it/g4fancontrol/. A small (free) utility that allows you to see the temperatures of each CPU sensor and the temperature at which the fans are set to begin cooling. Best of all you can select different temperatures (lower/higher via a slider type control) for the fans to begin working, or as I've done when working in Illustrator and Photoshop while streaming music ... just slid the fan controls all the way to the left turning the fans on max rpm/cooling. I watched the cpu temp drop from 144˚F to 116˚F in about 60 seconds which is amazing. The default settings only allowed the fans to spool up to 1700 RPM which provided cooling, but nothing to drop the temps more than a few degrees. It took much higher temps to get the fans to spool up to 2800 RPM. Now I run my laptop at very "cool to the touch" temperatures.
    I still have not discovered if the pixel problem is related to heat, however, I have direct control over the laptops temperature which in itself has made it more comfortable to use and hopefully will extend the life of its components.
    Hope this info is helpful in diagnosing your issues ...
    Cheers

  • Lumia 1520 Purple Tint Issue/Video Capturing Issue

    Hello all..Just got my 1520 yesterday and found out video captured at low light contains purple-ish/pink-ish color around the corners. So I went back to the Nokia store and ask for change, but turned out all three devices tested also having the same issue. The staff said this is the quality of low light video, nothing's wrong, and they cannot change a new one to me.
    I went and do a testing on the gradient color map and turn out the gray colors are indeed show as purple, exactly the same issue on my old N8, just this time is even worst, it's affecting the quality of the video.
    Besides, checked on few videos on youtube, some of videos having same issue too...
    Anyone else having this problem? Reckon the issue due to software or hardware? Thanks.

    If your doing testing indoors where your using CFL light bulbs i think its a know feature
    even my eyes did it yesterday when i stared at a CFL light bulb and looked away hehe
    but hey i might jsut be mad :¬)
