Random Screen Issues

I know this isn't necc. display related, it's probably video card, but this is the best place to come.
I am experiencing random areas of colour, usually almost a cyan, with 2 gradiated sides. Also sometimes I am experiencing a line of the screen being jacked. It basically looks like a line of dead pixels, but when I change to a diff. "space", it goes away. When I come back to that space, it is still there.
The random spaces often go away when I scroll.
Any ideas?

I'm having the exact same problem. My iMac is about 2 years old and I've just started seeing very similar issues to what you described. As you mentioned, it would make more sense for it to be a video card problem, though I'm not exactly an expert on this sort of thing so any light shed on that would be appreciated.
The most common thing that I'm seeing is just a line or distortion across the screen. Also I have seen a few times an area of shaded colour as you described. Usually any of these things go away whenever I resize a window or something. Also whenever it happens it is usually localized to a particular window and it will follow that window around if I move it.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-David

  • Developed Screen issue on Prime Now Gone...What to Do?

    Yesterday my Prime suddenly developed a random screen issue where the far left side of the screen went blurry while in landscape mode while using the browser. Not too long after that the bottom of the screen (in portrait) and the far right column was flashing in and out. I rotated it to landscape and that stopped but you could tell the whole screen was barely bouncing up and down. Shortly after that it stopped and didn't occur the rest of the night or today. I am torn on going back to BestBuy and getting a replacement (already talking to executive resolution rep directly....call center sucks) or contacting Asus about getting it repaired or replaced since I already have it setup and everything I want installed until 4.0 comes out. Any thought?

    Did you try this - hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. You have to wait until the Apple logo appears. It may take a little longer than 15 seconds sometimes.

  • Random Screen Flicker

    Hello, I just bought a mini last night and am using it on my Samsung 245BW monitor. (Resolution is 1920x1200 @ 60Hz)
    My windows PC is using the DVI connection so I bought the mini-display port-to-VGA connector and have it hooked up to my monitor that way. I've been experiencing some random screen flickers (cuts to black for 1-3 seconds). It happens during heavy processing tasks and just sitting there.
    Anyone happen to know whats causing this and how to fix?
    Thanks in advance

    I'm not clear if this flickering issue affects only the MiniDisplayPort?
    Has it ever affected anyone using a DVI or mini-DVI port on any Mac (especially the Early 2009 minis)?
    That gigantic thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8922628) keeps mentioning "DVI as well" but I can't tell if that means a MiniDisplayPort-to-DVI adaptor only.
    This Apple fix:
    http://www.123macmini.com/news/story/1167.html
    Is only for the MDP-to-VGA adaptor hardware (not MDP-to-DVI) strangely.
    This article describes the problem as being the "miniDVI" port but may be confused:

  • Random Screen Saver: How to remove iPhoto Library ?

    When you tag "Use Random Screen Saver" in the System Preference Pane, the Screen Saver browses all the iPhoto Library.
    How is it possible to get rid of that, as the "minus" button is not working (anyway it is grey for all the directories in the list) ?
    iPhoto Library does not appear in the System/Preferences/Screen Savers as well.
    Is this some bug from Snow Leopard ?

    If you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure over submitting feedback is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

  • Random screen blackout 2009 24 inch Cinema Display... HELP.

    Random screen blackouts with 24 inch Cinema Display (purchased 2009). Never used with anything but same Macbook Pro (2009). No hardware changes on MBP. Just started June 6, 2012. Super annoying. Anyone else having this issue? Recommendations?

    Hello, Ertjie.
    The link titled Download the 24-inch LED Cinema Display Update from the kb/TS4045 article worked for me when I tried it today.  Click the "Download" link I post here or try the one in the kb article again.  Perhaps it will work for you now?
    However, I note that the kb article expressly states that this firmware update: 
    ...is only intended for use with and will only install on the Apple 24-inch LED Cinema Display while the display is connected to a Thunderbolt-enabled Mac. (EZ Jim emphasis added)
    If your Mac is really using Mac OS X (10.6.8)  as shown in your initial topic posting, your Mac may not be Thunderbolt-enabled.   If so, contact Apple or your Apple-Authorized Service Provider for help.

  • Random screen flash- 15" MBP (late 2008)

    Just purchased a new Macbook Pro in November 2008 (Aluminum) and have recently noticed a random screen flash on the native display. It happens at inexplicable times; 1) low CPU,Mem,Disk usage, low temp (under 130 degrees F), 2) High CPU/Mem usage and higher temps (134-140 degrees f). I run VMWare and it happens, I DON'T run VMWare and it happens. Its COMPLETELY random which makes it difficult to replicate when in front of a genius or anyone else. It will happen in groups of 2 or three flashes...then nothing for quite some time (just happened). I thought the 10.5.6 update would cure the issue, but it persists.
    What makes this more bizarre is when I have an external monitor that runs at a higher res (1600 x 1280), the problem continues on my macbook, but not on the External monitor (dell).
    I took it into the Apple store and they ran a full hardware diagnostic (took like 2 hours) with some sort of software or something, and came up with nothing and that my Macbook Pro hardware is fine. The Genius said it was a software problem...but, i disagree given that the "flash" doesn't happen on the external monitor- only on the native display. I'm fearful that this will become a bigger problem and leave me with no MacBook Pro when I need to work. I've searched and found more youtube videos showing this issue, than I've found any support related articles here or anywhere else for that matter.
    So, I thought I'd put this one out there so someone can help. Come on Apple..i have spent almost 8k on your stuff and expect better quality and a much better response to problems. anyone having this same issue? I KNOW I'm not smoking anything and this is definitely not normal behavior.

    Nice advice but no dice. That flash is very different from the one we're complaining about.
    I watched my flashing last night and noticed that it was actually in random parts of the screen. It woudl be a black band in the middle of the screen, then and larger band at the top of the screen....i wasn't watching video, playing games or doing anything that was demanding on the system AT ALL...PLUS this only happens to the native screen no on my Dell External monitor...SOOO bizarre.

  • Random scale issues on pixel art

    I'm creating pixel art animations for an LED presentation. The video size and comp sizes are 96 pixels x 64 pixels. I created the pixel art in Illustrator at the same size. I started out by creating a 96x64 grid and then using the live paint to fill in each box to create the artwork.
    In After Effects I start doing my animation but sometimes when something is scaled down, issues start occurring. For example, I have 2 black squares as eyes. Both are 1x1 pixels or a 1x1 box in illustrator. Once they are scaled in AE, one eye may be bigger than the other. Is there some sort of interpolation issue happening? One solution I have tried using is only using draft mode. That works the majority of the time to keep everything looking very pixelated except for when the random scale issues occur.

    To be more clear of what I am trying to do. I am creating an animation for a Christmas LED display. I created 20-50 pixel art assets at the 96x64 size. They may not have all been to the final scale I wanted them to be in my animation. I brought my assets into AE and began doing my thing by animating. The original goal was to create Christmas animations that were a little more advanced than some pixel art simply moving position across the screen and to try and create a story based on the songs that were playing.
    In my particular example where I am having an issue. I created frosty the snowman and the animation is him moving his arm and tipping his top hat. I'm not animating his eyes at all which are just black squares. Although the eyes are the ones creating the issues. One eye is bigger than the other. When I look at the original Illustrator asset, the eyes are the same size. Currently, everything is 100% to scale and draft mode in enabled. If it weren't for the eyes, it would look just like the illustrator artwork. When draft mode is disabled, that is when edges are no longer crisp and there is some slight feathering around all of the edges.

  • Droid 2 Global screen issues

    My Droid 2 Global, which used to be the best phone ever btw, has been a tremendous pain in the rear for the past 6 weeks or so and its just getting worse.
    It started with some random touch screen wouldnt work problems. But normally after a battery pull it would be fine for a while. Then that developed into some "hey look what my phone is doing all by itself" problems. That was bad enough. Now the back button on the screen doesnt work and Im getting what seem like dead zones on the screen.
    For the most part it seems to work fine but the screen is getting worse and worse. From what I hear everybody with this phone are having screen issues nowadays.
    Is there any resolution? Will Verizon replace the phone under the warranty service? Or is Motorola stepping up to take their lumps on this one?
    Or is it just easier to wait until my upgrade that is now only a couple of weeks away?

    After experiencing the same type of touch screen problems on my D2G that everyone else is complaining about and
    searching the internet for I don't know how long to find a remedy, I found a post from Katie H, VZW Support, in response to
    JoulesWinfield's post.  In it she gave a link to run the phone in safe mode:  http://tiny.cc/p6j3iw, which I did.
    Well, I thought I had uninstalled all the 3rd party apps, however, I found that Adobe Flash was still there. I uninstalled it, and low and behold, so far,  NO MORE PROBLEMS! Fingers crossed!  Thanks Katie H!

  • Random screen Freeze, but mouse is responsive

    Hi,
    For the last month, I have been having random screen freezes , requiring me to hard-boot the computer. During this freeze the mouse is responsive. I wait 15 minutes to see if the freeze goes away before rebooting.
    I have re-formatted the disk and installed Mountain Lion, again , but it did not help. Most of the time it seemed to happen when I am using Safari, but this is not always the case.
    The hardware tests came clean.
    I have isolated the console logs to the following just before the issue happens. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

  • Another Mavericks Random Restart issue...

    I've seen lots of discussions about these issues, but nothing definitive that will simply fix our problems. For the last month I've been trying the various suggestions offered on these forums: turning off the Energy Saver stuff, auto logging in, etc, but still having intermittent random restart issues.
    I called Apple this morning and went through these trouble shooting steps with their tech:
    1) Reboot to Recovery Mode (cmd-r)
    2) Disk First Aid to repair (success)
    3) Disk First Aid to Verify Disk (no trouble found. Verified)
    30 minutes after hanging up the phone, BAM. Random restart again. Seems like I'm always pressing a keyboard key or mouse clicking when this happens. No matter if it's the trackpad, the wireless Apple Mouse, a USB mouse, the built in keyboard, or my external Matias keyboard.
    My next step is to appeal to the gear heads here for any assistance they can offer. Thanks in advance for any input you can provide. Here's my EtreCheck report and latest panic report:

  • N8/C7 PURPLE SCREEN ISSUE AND HOW TO SPOT IF YOU H...

    MODS THIS IS NOT A POLL OR IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM A VOTING THREAD IT IS A THREAD TO WARN USERS ABOUT THE PURPLE SCREEN ISSUE AND HOW TO SPOT IT IN THEIR PHONES CLEAR AS DAY , I HAVE BEEN INFORMED FROM THE DIRECTOR OF COMUNICATIONS AT NOKIA VIA TWITTER THAT THIS THREAD IS OK AND THE TEST IMAGE IS FINE TO LOAD UP
    The following has been added by vandelay (Nokia administrator) :
    Please note that there is normally a slight variation in the purple color level in each display
    unit. This is related to the display manufacturer's optical tuning process. However, some Nokia C7 and Nokia N8 users seem to be experiencing a
    slightly higher level of purple color tint on their device screens.
    Nokia Care's technical experts told me that the easiest way to spot this problem is to just look at the black idle screen of the device - if there is a clear purple color tint on the idle screen, you should have the device inspected at a Nokia Care point. They will repair the device the device under warranty if there is a clear defect in the device.
    So seeing some purple on the test image does not necessarily mean that your screen is faulty, but we hope that it helps some people to decide whether they should visit a Nokia Care point.
    (end of vandelay's addition)
    as you may or may not have read many n8s and c7s have a purple tint issue
    this can easily be spoted by saving the picture below to your pc , transfering it to your n8/c7 , then viewing the image in your gallery
    if the image shows purple squares in some areas then iam afraid you have one of the screens that is showing defects in gradiation of colurs and the greyscale
    there are also many n8s out in the wild that dont have this problem , i have 3 n8s , my gfriend has one , hers is perfect and shows the test image with no purple tint at all my three n8s all have purple tint and some display it worse then others
    the test image can be viewed on any brightness and it should display just as it does on your monitor screen ,my gfriends n8 displays the image perfect under all brightness levels yet my three n8s show the purple tint heavily on low brightness and not as much on full brightness
    the test image can also be viewed via tv out and hdmi out and again if you have a defect screen you will see the image perfect on your tv yet on your n8 screen you will have purple tints
    here is the test image for you to load to your device and view via the gallery
    as stated above if you have one of the screens with defects in colour gradiation you will see some of the squares as purple
    this shouldnt be happending as there n8s out there that display the test image perfectly
    from all my research on this in the last month and my time studying ICT systems support in which i have a diploma , it seems clear to me that nokia have used at least two screens in the build of the n8
    many phones bought between october launch and december dont have the problem yet there are still some that do but not as many as now , phones bought from the end of december up untill current date seem to have the issue moreand its now nearly impossible to find one without the purple tint issue
    this leads me to believe that from the start nokia were using at least two screen in the n8 , then one started to run out around december and by the end of december a huge majority of n8/c7 handsets have the troubles, if not all of them shipped after december
    infact ive been to every phone shop in lakeside , chelmsford , colchester which included : carphone warehouse , o2 , vodafone , orange , three ,  phones4u , tmobile all n8/c7 handsets i asked to look at had the problem not one n8 i looked at didnt have the issue 
    i have been in contact with nokia care escalation team , all they did is send me very badly refurbed handsets back for my brand new n8s ,  which across all three handsets had the following faults
    #hdmi covers scratched and worn
    #no imei number under the hdmi cover on one of them
    #torx screws on battery cover very worn
    #plastic top caps not fitted right
    #one had a huge gap between the silver screen surround and the main chasis of n8
    #they all still had purple tint issue
    so nokia sent me three refurbed handsets for my brand new n8s , i obvously complained as they were so new i could have taken them back to the shops with the reciept but now nokia had changed the imei numbers my reciept was useless , i said i should be sent three brand new n8s , they again sent me badly refurbed handsets just as bad as the 1st lot and again all three of them had purple screen issues 
    i complained again and this time supervsior took over the case and agreed that 3 new n8s should be sent to me as mine was so new , she got them sent out and this time they were new but they still have the purple screen issue
    thats a toatal 12 n8s direct from nokia and all of them have had the issue  so i cant recomend going to a nokia care point or nokia care uk as the refurbs i was sent was a complete joke and looked like they were just used handsets that had been through a rough time
    through this month of me talking to nokia and sending emails and getting these phones swapped back to a condition of the phones that i sent them , they have said they are investigating it and taking it seriously however after some of their actions towards users (myself included) on these forums it doesnt seem like they are taking it very serious at all , they have known about it for a month now and we still have not had an offical response from nokia themselves

    http://n8geeks.com/nokia-n8-amoled-display-issue/
    there are many more threads about this issue across the net and if you google n8 screen problems or n8 purple screen problems you will come acroos many many pages of unhappy users from all across the globe
    i just hope nokia sort this out soon
    ho do you users with the problem feel about this issue and how do you think nokia should resolve it
    id be happy for a screen swap at a nsc or via warranty postal repair as long as it could be done quickly and the user wasnt without their phone for too long after all this is nokias mistake and not the users that bought the phone so all fixes should be at minimal disturbance to them
    heres hoping when you test the image your not as unlucky as me and many other n8 owners from across the globe , its a brilliant phone but this screen issue lets it down alot especially during watching films and stuff

    sorry to hear you guys are having troubles too , its a shame sucha  great device as the nokia n8 has had an issue like this arise , it is effecting alot of n8/c7 handsets and is quite a widespread issue across the globe
    it would be great to hear from as many users as possible about this and what they think about it as a user of the c7/n8
    jimmyireland about your post mate
    yes it was written by me and yes it ws deleted not once but 3or4 times actually
    the mods said it was because i had set up a poll and voting system , so i read through forum rules and posted it again with what fitted their guidelines and even put in big caps that it was not a poll but a thread to help users identify a problem and discuss it which is what the forum is for , it was deleted again , i then posted it again with just the test image and how to spot the problem and again put big caps that the post fitted their guidelines and was just to help users , it was again deleted and i was banned by mods for 2 days saying that i had broke forum rules and posted a poll and that the test image wasnt a proper test image
    i then asked other users to post the image but when they tryed nokias spam filter kicked in with a message saying that their post contained spam and that they should write it again and try posting again
    to be honest it really looked like they were trying to cover up the issue , fair enough my 1st post could be considered a very very rough poll but the posts i made afterwards were edited to fit nokias guidelines and they still removed them ad banned me and then other users posts were marked as spam
    so i tweeted alot of people and even nokia have said that as long as the post doesnt contain polls/votes then it will be fine to postand that mods shouldnt delete it , which was excellent news and hopefull this thread will stay and users can load the image and test their screens and then discuss the issue here so nokia can see users discussion in one thread , it will alo help awareness of the issue
    hence this post that isnt a poll but a thread to help users identify wether their n8/c7 has a screen with a defect in the gradiation of colours
    as stated in original post not all n8s have this problem my gfriends doesnt and it displays the test image perfectly on all brightness settings , yet my n8s show the image as very purple on low brightness and the brighter the screen goes the less the purple is shown , it is still there just not as visible as it is in the lower brightness settings
    as i also mentioned many n8s between october and mid december are fine although some still have the problem , yet from mid december till current date the amount of n8s with purple issue is much much higher and it now seems very very rare that you will get a brand new n8 from the shops without this screen issue which leads me to believe that from launch nokia have used at least two screens in the builds of the n8 , some great screens and then the ones with dodgy purple tint , from the threads across the web it seems like the good screens nokia were using either run out or they have failed to source the same screen or the manufactuer of the screen has changed something
    iam not a nokia hater and iam not here to cause trouble or loose nokia sales etc
    i love nokia have used them for years and used symbian since the 6680 , iam always helping users across the web with their nokia problems and am an avid user on nokia users please check my profile and feel free to check my posts and how many times ive been thanked for being helpfull
    http://www.nokiausers.net/forum/members/buxz777.html
    as you can see i love nokia and spend alot of time using their devices , speaking highly of them and helping their users with problems, i also love good customer services and customer relations
    i understand that big companys have build issues iam a gadget lover and trained in ict supprt iam not silly and understand that these things happend and building these phones with such complicated electronics and some could end up with issues , it could happend to anyone , sony , apple , samsung , blackberry , lg etc etc
    however its how the companys react to these issues and relate to their customers that have spent 100s of pounds on their devices that is important , issues do arise , its how the company looks after its customers thats important
    i think alot of users think the same , they dont expect nokia to click their fingers and go heres a fix but they do expect nokia to investigate the issue and they do expect nokia to relate to its customers and not ignore them or the issue which is what it looks like when posts are deleted and users are banned for posting informative posts that help users identify a problem
    things like sending users really bad refurbs for brand new n8s also dont help users confidence in nokia statement of going to nokia care about the problem as all i got was second hand looking n8s that still have the problem they were sent off with and the originals were in much better condition
    like i say iam not here to cause trouble and i love nokia the n8 is the best phone ive ever had and its almost my dream device and everything ive wanted on a device for years its the ultimate convergance device and agadget lovers dream , however when you see your gfriends and some of your mates n8 screens display the test image perfect then your n8 display it with a very purple hue it does dissapoint you and you do hope that nokia will take notice and fix the issue with the least amunt of hassle to the users
    cheers jimmy and sorry about the long post just wanted to clear some things up
    now lets get back to discussing the issue and what other users think about it
    have a great evening

  • The Windows 7 Black Screen Issue

    I am putting in Bootcamp with a Windows 7 install. I checked these forums and made sure I had all my prep work done.
    I referenced article TS3173 and downloaded the neccessary drivers for 7, formatted a 16GB SD Card as FAT Bootable and copied the drivers and autounattend.xml files onto the root of the drive.
    THe installation as going as planned but at the end I'm still ending up with a black screen. Windows is installed ok but on the restart after" Preparing for FIrst Use" comes up the screen goes black.
    Obviously, the drivers are not being installed from the SD card, I tried it on a USB External driver as well. Am I missing something here? I read every post I could find on it and I can't see where I am doing anything incorrectly.
    Thanks
    Tom

    You don't need Paragon or another NTFS driver. That may work (I've used it, but I was using a full hard drive anyway to begin with).

    The Windows 7 installer does not include required graphics or Bluetooth drivers for this computer. To obtain the necessary drivers and resolve the issue, see this article (creating the SD card and drivers for the "black screen" issue).

  • Flickering Screen issue after Mavericks update released on Feb 26, 2014

    I own a Macbook Retina display bought in early 2014. After installing the recent Maverick update released around Feb 26, 2014 the display developed flickering problem while scrolling and now the scrolling is not smooth any more. The originally shipped machine did not have this problem. I tested other software including Photoshop and the display still flickers while panning the canvas. I also tried resetting the SMC - System Management Controller but it didn't work along with other attempts of resetting the disk permissions, running a systems cleaner, changing the wifi-router etc.
    How to fix this flickering screen issue?

    The problem came back lately and I tried this solution and it worked. Go to system settings > power saver > and switch off the Automatic Graphic switching. Not sure if this is a good solution, but it seem to have worked for the time being.

  • Gray screen issue still in Reader 11.0.03

    Hi, it sounds like the PDF gray screen issue mentioned here:  http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-opens-grey-screen-browser.html
    has been fixed in 10.1.3.  Has it been fixed in 11.0.03?  I have the latest Xi version installed and am still experiencing this problem.

    Hi, C F McBlob,
    Thanks for the help and the suggestion.  I turned on Compatibility View in IE and I still see the gray screen.  The ActiveX control should take the same setting that I've set in the browser, right?
    Also, shouldn't it be an Adobe issue rather than an IE issue if the exact same setup works with Adobe 9?
