Replaced motherboard now nothing but flashing colors (Video Test)

Power on and see nothing but one color at a time.  Red screen, Green screen, Blue screen, White screen, Black screen. Red screen, Green screen.............

Hi! You might try this???
"It is quite possibly the hard drive is failing or has failed.  The reason you can't get into the bios or boot from a CD/DVD is because the bios it hanging trying to recognize the hard drive.  Try removing the hard drive and see if it will allow you into the bios or boot to a CD/DVD.  If it does, go the hard drive manufacturer's support site, downlod their hard drive diagnostic ISO image, then use the burn from image option to create the self booting cd, then boot to it and run the most exhaustive diagnosis on it if it will boot.  If you can't get it to boot to the diagnostic disk while the hard drive is installed you'll more than likely need to replace the hard drive. 
If it won't get you into the bios or boot to a CD/DVD with the hard drive out of the system you need to try reseating the ram.  If that doesn't help you probably have a bad motherboard.  In this case it would more than likely be cheaper to just replace the laptop than fix it."
There is always the possibility that the new MB is bad. There's a reason it was on ebay

    Replaced where?  If it was done by anyone other than Apple the warranty has been voided.
    Regardless, the screen replacement was obviously not successful.  Take the device back to whomever replaced the screen and address the issue with them.

  • Dv6636nr replacement motherboard now microphone not recording sound

    hi
    i am having a problem with my machine. after a recent replacement motherboard was fitted i now no longr have microphone functionality. skype will not complete the test call successfullly and trying to set up speech recognition the red and yellow bars dont even move.i think that in the microphone section however if you tap the system it does recognize there, there are a couple of shooting green bars, this is all i can get!!
    i have been trying to solve the problem for hours now, downloaded the drivers/uninstalled. tried a previous version but it just kept reupdating. also got the UAA driver but still nothing.
    i have sound on everything else and my cam works.
    any ideas?
    thank youu!!!!

    Good idea Joe.
    I went to my system preferences (I'm running Mavericks) and checked.
    My internal microphone shows as 'built-in'
    My line in shows as 'audio line-in port'
    I moved up the input volume a little to be safe
    Output volume on full, but there was never any problem playing tracks previously recorded.
    I still haven't reinstalled Garage Band, as I wanted to get my podcast done before the end of the month. I exported the cast as it was to an external hard drive, along with small mp3's I had been about to add in (like my jingle) then went to another computer in the house, and recreated the podcast from those mp3's. I was able to add in the introductory audio recording on that other computer and complete my podcast.
    I transferred the newly recreated podcast back to my normal laptop (where the problem occurs), checked and published my podcast. I double checks the newly recreated cast (the one I built up on the other machine from mp3's) to see if I could record now  - since I recorded within that particular project on the other machine. I *still was not able to record* on my laptop.
    I still cannot create another new project that allows me to audio record. My preferences for the garage band app and op sys  on my laptop, all appear to be set for sound.
    I guess I will now break down and reinstall garage band. I think I've reset something in the application that an update doesn't reset.
    Thanks for your ideas.

  • LCD problems, replaced cable now lcd has lost color

    I replaced the lcd cable on my powerbook because of lines running horizontally across my screen and now I still have lines running across it and the screen seems to have lost color too.

    Yes, I hooked up powerbook up to my desktop lcd monitor and it displays fine. Previously before replacing the cable I could open or close the monitor and the lines would move/disappear, after replacing the cable and switching it back the lcd looks like its a yellowish tint. I can twist the screen a little and the lines move but the color isn't coming back up.

  • Imac crashed & now nothing but blue screen

    Hi, i am hoping that someone will be able to help me with my problem. I was on my imac trying to sort out the configurations for my internet and randomly the screen went dark and a big error message popped saying a fatal error had occured and urgent that i restart by holding the power button down. So i did, the loading screen appeared as usual, but after that when the normal screen with everything on it is meant to appear, all i get is a plain blue background.I am concerned that it has erased everything from my mac, unless it's hiding all the bars and menus??? Please help me! thanks

    OK, one good thing to check first is that the computer is not set to start up from a "NetBoot" - head to the System Preferences / Startup disk and ensure that your HD, not Network Startup Disk, is selected there. If Network disc was selected there, then select your internal HD instead and try a regular restart.
    Once you have this possibility out of the way its a matter of working out what is stopping the normal login process from occuring.
    First of all start up Disk Utility , select your HD and "repair permisions". Now try a restart. If all is well, then you are done.
    If you can still only start up in Safe Mode then we need to look at some more things.
    With everything disconnected except your keyboard and mouse try a normal restart. If it works now, then either the "Safe Boot" has repaired some underlying directory issue and everything will now be fine, OR one of your peripheral devices is causing the problem. Reattach your peripherals one at a time and retest. If you find that one device stops you from restarting properly then either there is a problem with the device or its cable, or there is a problem with its "driver" installed on your computer. Check the manufacturers site, see if there is any information about incompatabilities with recent versions of OSX. If there is not, download a fresh copy of the latest Mac driver for OSX, install it, and try again.
    If the Mac still WOULDN'T start up properly with no peripherals (except mouse and keyboard) attached then the explanation will probably lie in a startup item, login item, or plist associated with the booting process. Post back and we'll move on to the next phase.
    Cheers

  • Updated and now nothing but weird picture?

    I updated my Apple TV and now all that shows up is a picture of my AppleTV being connected by some sort of USB wire to the iTunes symbol.  What does this mean?  I've unplugged and tried other methods that are supposed to reset this.
    Sorry if this is an obvious question, but I don't understand and I can't seem to find my manual.

    Hi Coronis, It’s a bummer that Apple gave our ATV units a bad firmware update and we have to go through the trouble of resetting the ATV device with a micro USB cable. It’s very aggravating, but I’m thankful for all the advice that was given over the Apple Support Community Site.
    What you do is plug in the Micro USB cable from your ATV device into your Mac
    and it will properly reset and update the ATV.  You’ll have to do your passwords and other ATV setting all over again as usual after a reset.
    A Micro USB cable is available at macmall.com for a low cost that should help those who don’t have one. You might be able to use a Micro USB cable that came with your cellphone as I did. Here’s link to the Micro USB cable at macmall.com. Hope this helps people.

  • Nothing but flashing amber

    I've got my express here, it has functioned without issue for slightly more than a year. I just bought a new 802.11n gigabit base station and in the process of reconfiguring the express to commincate with the new AEBS, it is no longer receiving a configuration via Airport Utility. It consistently flashes amber on restart. The only way to get the express to show up in the utility is to do a factory reset, but once I make the changes to the config and go to restart, it never comes back. My only recourse is to do a hard reset again and then I'm back to square 1. Currently running FW 6.3 on the express. Any ideas? Thanks

    This may be what you need:
    AirPort Extreme and Express: Using WDS to create a network from multiple base stations.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107454
    Requires AirPort Admin Utility.
    ( As I recall - when hard reset, AX default configuration is router base station, with ip address 10.0.1.1 and admin password "public" for wireless configuration access, and so it needs to be reconfigured for WDS, as explained above ).

  • Power surge now nothing but issues.

    So I had a power surge (no protector...I know dumb) and my pc restarted.  When it came back on it loads the bios.  If I leave the bios, it beeps once long and then 2 short and goes to black screen.  Everything I read says that it means my video card is shot.   Here is what I am running:
    MSI     FM2-A75MA-P33
    AMD    A10 680K
    So having said that I am running integrated graphics.  Does this mean my processor is shot or did I fry something on the mobo?  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks. 

    ok it is sounding like the surge maybe has killed the CPU or fried its memory controller!
    one lastage thing to try is a CMOS clear >>Clear CMOS Guide<< remove the power cord and do a clear and leave the battery out for 5 mins and put it back in and see if it works then!

  • TS1372 I replaced the hard drive, motherboard, and battery but now can not restore my Ipod 5th gen?  Error code 1416, any help?

    I replaced the hard drive, motherboard, and battery but now can not restore my Ipod 5th gen?  Error code 1416, any help?

    When I did a Google search on "1416 error ipod 5th," there is some discussion that the earlier version of the logic board only accepted 30 and 60 GB drives (or words to that effect), but the later "5.5" version did allow larger capacity drives.  If that info is true, the question is, do you have a compatible combination of logic board and hard drive?

  • TS1589 Had to replace our Airport Extreme when it stopped working (still under warranty).  Now I can't get anything but flashing amber light. Airport utility says "error occurred" when I try to get it set up.

    Had to replace our Airport Extreme (802.11n) and now can't get anything but flashing amber light.  Have gone the route of turning off modem (overnight), restarting everything this morning and at least when I turned on the laptop (no desktop) the Airport Utility opened automatically.  I put in the info for the Airport Extreme that we had previously (password, etc) but it couldn't connect (said error occurred).  I would assume this is because of the flashing amber light?

    I am having a similar issue.  However I've had my airport express for over 3 years.  Yesterday we had to reset the router as it wasn't broadcasting.
    Today having same issue so we reset the router again.  And now still blinking amber.  When I go to the Airport Utility I can't even go to the Manual Setup as I'm getting the Error 4.  Internet works fine as the router and modem are hooked up to my computer via Ethernet cable.
    I did a factory reset and the AE is broadcasting again.  but I can't get in to protect the network.  And it's still blinking amber.
    Any thoughts would be great.

  • HT4623 Hi I CAN'T GET MY VIDEO TO WORK FIRSTLY MENTIONED WRONG URL NOW NOTHING?

    Hi I can't use my video or see anything but a blank screen when I try it. Firstly it said wrong URL now nothing.
    Any help please?
    Jenny

    The "requested URL cannot be found" message is a frequent message that I have gotten in the videos app when trying to play a movie that has been downloaded to my iPad for months. I delete the video and download it again.
    Apparently you are talking about something different but you are supplying details in bits and pieces.
    Try this. Reboot the iPad by holding 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
