Red Snow on black areas of the LCD screen

Hello,
last week my MacBook Pro 13" fell on the floor and got a hit on the side of the LCD screen.
Now the LCD screen is showing a sort of red snow (like the snow on an untuned tv) on the black parts of the screen. As far as I can understand it's either an issue of the LCD, the motherboard or the cables between the motherboard and the LCD.
What do you think it could be? I am going to order the parts in order to do the repair myself but I want to be reasonably confident of what I need to replace.
Cheers

The disassembly procedure is different according to the MacBook model you have. There are many guides around that you can consult in order to open the machine. You can search with "MacBook disassembly" and you will find many pages. I found mine on ifixit.com.
On a unibody MacBook pro you have only to remove the screws on the bottom (remembering the positions as few of them are different), and lift the bottom cover.
You will find a miniature flat cable on one of the corners of the motherboard. Just gently push it in the connector to make sure it is well attached. Important! make sure you have a static wrist strap connected to ground, or in alternative touch a ground connection before in order to get rid of any static you might have on your body.
Hope this helps

My screen has turned black as if the LCD screen isn't working. There is no damage and the phone is still responding to vibrations and there is a dial tone when called. What is wrong with my phone?

My screen has turned black as if the LCD screen isn't working. I have tried using the lockbutton and home button to turn it on, but it doesn't work. What should I do?

Your phone is probably broken.

The display on my 4S has a hallow around the edges and a black area in the center which resembles a domino with 6 spots

The front screen assembly is probably a poor quality replacement, with the front glass being too thick and causing pressure on the LCD Display below it. Or when the screen was replaced they forgot to remove the plastic protection film, so this sheet of plastic is making the entire front assembly too thick, causing pressure on the LCD Display. The bit about the domino with 6 spots seems like the Mirror sheet at the back of the Sceen is removed, or again is just from all the pressure I described in my first two sentences.

3D Doesn't work after changing the LCD Screen

Hi, I had a problem with my Toshiba Qosmio F755-3D350 the LCD screen broke and I have to replace it with a new screen.
The new screen is the same model : B156HB01 V.0 from Au electronics, that the original screen on my laptop had.
everything works fine the resolution, the camera but when it comes the 3D it doesnt work the Leds on the web camera doesn't turn on and activate the wiggle stereoscopy.
How can i activate again the 3D or Where is the problem?
Thanks.

Yes... Do you see this... http://s1185.photobucket.com/albums/z356/annerkram/?action=view&current=cropguide.mp4
On my SD TV... Notice the black bars on the top and bottom. Once I go in and out of the guide the black bars are gone. I have reported this but if you are confirming the issue I will report it again.

I have a Motorola 7XXX series DVR which got the 1.9 upgrade a few days ago. I have SD Override enabled and set to Stretch. When I set it like that, the SD channel I'm on will then stretch to fill the screen (and the black bars disappear as they should). But when I change the channel and go to another SD channel, the black bars are back. Or if I enable the SD Override and then turn the TV off, it will be disabled once I turn the TV on again (and the black bars are back).
It seems like the SD Override isn't holding. I don't want to have to hit the # button on the remote to change the aspect ration every time I change the channel. The SD Override should work and stay enabled once set. Anyone know how to fix this?

Green-colored volume indicators that appear on the LCD screen NOT working

I have T61 with fresh install Window 7. After Win7 the laptop is VERY fast. The difference is incredible!
I was running XP and everything worked perfect, now the green-colored volume indicators that appear on the LCD screen is NOT working. Yes, I did downloaded the driver(s) from Lenovo site and made the rest work just fine.
Blue button works as well and when I open ThinkVantage I don't get any error.
Any idea/help greatly appreciated.
(I can live with out it, but it would be nice to have a perfect running laptop)
TIA
Ivone

Hi Ivone,
Not ignoring you, honest!
I wasn't even sure that Lenovo supported Windows 7 on the T61... but they do! I don't have a Win 7 machine yet, but in the past, people have gotten their green bars back by re-installing one or more drivers.
I didn't find Windows 7 drivers listed in the T61 support matrix, but if you go to the Support & downloads page and select T61, then select Windows 7 as your OS, there are a couple pages of drivers available. (Sounds like you already found them, just noting it here for my own and others' benefit.)
Good luck, and please let us know if that works for you (and which driver fixes it, if you figure it out.)

Brand new Canon 5d mark ii has dust inside of the LCD screen.. !!!

Hello guys. I just received Canon 5d mark ii + 24-105mm lens kit in the mail couple of days ago. It's an amazing camera that will help to improve my work. I didn't want to use the camera until I received the screen protector and the UV filter to make sure that the camera is well protected. (My previous SLR ended up having so many scratches on the LCD screen)
So today I received the screen protector. I was cleaning the Lcd screen to install the protector and I realized that there is a dust inside of the LCD screen. I didn't even use the camera more than to see if it functions right. It's totally visible.
I was wondering if anyone had this problem with their brand new camera ?!?!
I know there is an option to exchange the camera since it's in the return/exchange period but I really don't have time for this. I have photo shoots coming up and I really can't be without my camera more than couple of days. Unfortunately they don't have the kit in any of Bestbuy location in Los Angeles area that I can go in and exchange. They will ask me to return the camera kit to a Bestbuy location and wait for them to credit my Bestbuy card (which will take 3-4 days - and i don't have enough credit limit to buy another one right away and be patient for them to give me my money back ) and replace an order online again.
Any advice appreciated...
Thanks

First of all. Thank you for your reply. I actually realized couple of other things that made me suspicios that this camera was used before. Of course i might be wrong however - the package shipped from Bestbuy Return center + loose diopter adjuster knob before than even touching it + having dust inside the lcd screen + hair and dust inside the lens - made me really uncomfortable keeping this camera.
Don't get me wrong, I love Best Buy. I've been shopping from Best Buy for years. I have been purchasing many things every year and I really do trust them. That's the reason why i didn't mind to have Greek Squad 3 years extended waranty package with my purchase. However spending almost $3500 for a top of the line camera and not having it flawless from the first day made me a little disappointed. That's all..
I will be going to Best Buy later today and return the camera. I am just hoping that they can refund the money to my card in couple of days so i can place an order for a new one. Even better if i can return the camera and they can place an order from the store for me..
Thank you so much for your reply again...

How do i fix error code 6A00 on the LCD screen of my Canon PIXMA MP810

how do i fix error code 6A00 on the LCD screen of my Canon PIXMA MP810

Hello drews,
To try and resolve the 6A00 error, we will want to ensure that no paper jams or obstructions exist in the printer. To do this, please follow the steps below:
ASF / Paper Output Slot
Turn off the printer.
Remove paper from the ASF.
Gently pull the jammed paper out.
If paper is visible from the ASF, use both hands to pull the paper out slowly.
If paper is visible from the paper output slot, use both hands to pull the paper out slowly.
If the paper tears and a piece of that remains inside the printer, open the scanning unit (printer cover) and remove the paper from inside the printer.
Note : Be careful not to touch the components inside the printer.
Turn on the printer and confirm that the Alarm light is off.
(If the jammed paper remains in the printer, the paper may be automatically ejected.)
Load paper back into the ASF.
Press <OK> to clear the message and continue printing. If you are printing from an application software, follow the instructions displayed on your computer.

Paper jams inside the printer
Turn off the printer and disconnect the power cord and USB cable.
Remove the jammed paper slowly using the following procedure.
Open the rear cover to check if the paper is jammed.
Pull out the cassette and check if the paper is jammed inside the cassette area.
Stand the printer with the rear side down, holding the document cover.
Press the tabs together and pull the green cover toward you.
Check if the paper is jammed.
(If you were not doing Duplex printing, you do not have to follow this procedure.)

Load paper back into the ASF or cassette.
Press <OK> to clear the message and continue printing. If you are printing from an application software, follow the instructions displayed on your computer.

Clearing credit card-sized paper jammed inside the printer
Credit card-sized and 4" x 6" sized paper must be loaded properly. If this media is not loaded properly, it will feed into the printer and will not exit. Credit card-sized paper should only be loaded in the ASF and in portrait orientation. 4" x 6" sized paper can be loaded in the ASF or cassette. But must be loaded portrait orientation.
If credit card-sized paper was loaded in landscape orientation in the ASF and did not eject (exit), please follow this procedure.
Turn off the printer.
Load the same paper type that is jammed inside the printer in portrait orientation.
Power on the printer.
The paper stock in the ASF will automatically feed the jammed paper from the printer.
To resume printing, load the paper in portrait orientation.
If 4" x 6" sized paper was loaded in landscape orientation in the cassette and did not eject (exit), please follow this procedure.
Turn off the printer.
Open the rear cover.
Fold in four a piece of letter-sized plain paper.
Push in the folded paper until it hits the jammed paper.
If the jammed paper is visible from inside the printer area, pull it out and proceed to step 7.
If the jammed paper cannot be pulled out, push in the folder paper from the rear so the jammed paper is in between the feed rollers.
Pull out the folded paper and close the rear cover.
Power on the printer and confirm that the Alarm light is off. The jammed paper should automatically eject.
To resume printing, load the paper in portrait orientation.
If you still experience the same error after performing the steps above, please turn off the printer, unplug the power cord from the back and leave it out for at least 10 minutes, then plug it back in and turn it back on. If the error persists, unfortunately, the printer will require servicing to resolve the issue. Please click on the Contact Us link below to obtain your servicing options.

That plastic cover on the LCD screen

What is that plastic semi-sticky cover that comes glued to the LCD screen when you first buy it's Mines starting to rip, and I really don't what to have to take it off.
Does anyone know what that sticky cover is or what kind of shop I could by it in?

I think you are talking about the shipping protector. It is really just there to keep the screen from being scratched before the product gets to you. You will find them on phones for instance and usually on any product with an lcd.

Can I disable the LCD screen from displaying the Network Name or Password of my device?

Can I disable the LCD screen from displaying the Network Name or Password of my device? I feel that having this information readily available to any who can turn on my device is a security flaw.
I have change the network name and password and would like to secure that information .

Worked with VZW tech support and finally found where you can disable or mask the display of the network name and password on the Jetpack LCD screen. You need to access the admin screen of your jetpack (http://my.jetpack/) . From there, navigate to Jetpack Settings --> Click on Wifi tab -- Click on the Wi-Fi Options link halfway down the page and it will show the two settings that control the display of network name and password.
As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words...here are screen shots showing how to get to these settings. ...
The LCD display will show ********* for the network name and password if the two checkboxes above are unchecked. I really think these settings should be disabled to be begin with.
Oh well...posting here to share with those interested...

hi,
we need to add functional area to the parameter screen of FS10N.
today in the parameter screen of FS10N appears the next fields: gl account, company code, fiscal year, business area
please advice
thanks,

HI,
which SAP release? FS10N does not support the functional area selection on the selection screen. ECC 60 (new T-Code FAGLB03 ) does in SAP standard. Guess its time to upgrade

Is it possible to change the shattered glass instead of the LCD screen?

I've dropped my Iphone 5 and the glass has shattered, just curious if its possible to just change the glass in front of the LCD screen or if i'll just have to get the whole thing done??

I don't understand what your issue is? Add a "Map" control to your Report and follow the wizard, on the first page Switch to "ESRI shapefile" and select your .shp file and then go on.

Do I need to get an inverter or just the lcd screen?

I tried posting before and it didn't show up, so here I go again. I broke the screen on A1350S4527 laptop. I am able to hook it up to an external monitor and it works fine. I have looked at posted instructions online for replacing the screen and one seems to suggest that some Toshiba models require the replacement of both the lcd screen and inverter if the screen is broken. Is it necessary to replace both on this model?

If u broke lcd only, turn it on and see if still have backlight on,
you need to disassembly the lcd to see if inverter was packed-fit inside lcd frame.
Most of laptop did not packed the inverter inside lcd frame.
Anyway, what tipe of you lcd ? LED or Lamp?
I never deal with lcd with led but with lamp, and most of them I just change the lcd, not inverter
Hope this help...

White on Black without inversing the whole screen

Is it possible to have the windows be White on Black without having the whole screen inverse?
White on Black is easier for Gramma to read but she doesn't like the fact that it makes her background negative. There must be a way, I just can't see it.

By 'background' you mean the desktop picture? Find it in (hard disk)>Library>Desktop Pictures and use an image editor to invert it, save the result and choose it as your picture. Of course icons etc. will still come out negative.
