S10 lcd screen randomly flickers/glitches + battery issue

Hello Everyone, I have a Lenovo s10 4231 laptop which is my friends. I recently had to replace the LCD on it due to the old one being cracked. I replaced it with a new unit.
However, now that I've done that, Ive noticed that SOMETIMES I will see some pixelation in random parts of the screen, and the entire lcd will sometimes flicker or flash something for a split second. Im not sure what causes it, I tried to test to see if high processor usage would do it, but that wasnt the case.
Im completely baffled as to what's causing this, I dont want to blame it on the new lcd i put in, since the screen picture and clarity are PERFECT.
I'll just see random pixelation/glitches, and other times the whole screen will flash/glitch for a fraction of a second. and it doesnt do it all the time, its very random!
My other problem is that the battery will not charge to 100% when the a/c is plugged in, it stays around 96/97% and doesnt go any higher. is this normal?
I appreciate any input on these issues, I dont want to have to order another LCD =/

The behaviour of your LCD screen is certainly abnormal. Maybe there is some loose contact or it is not sitting properly. As for the battery, it seems to be a normal response if it is left in the netbook for sometime. If you unplug the battery for a while and put it in again, it will charge to 100% the next time. Don't know why it is like that. Make sure it is unplugged when everything is off.

Screen randomly flickers (horizontal lines) -- Is it hardware or software?

In the last week my macbook screen has started to flicker...
This happens when I'm surfing, working on photos, and doing other tasks...
The the flickering seems very horizontal and is completely random in the time (mostly only for a second or two a few times a day) and the amount (less then 10% of the screen 90% of the time).
I cannot tell of it's hardware or software.
What can I do to solve this issue?
*Are there any questions you could ask that could help troubleshoot this problem?*

To my experience, it is hardware problem. Screen flickering is a complex problem because it can be caused by the logic board, LCD screen or inverter. Most of the time the problem is caused by the video components on the logic board. You can connect your MacBook to an external display to narrow down the root cause of your screen flickering problem.
If you have further question or need help, you can send me an email. I am glad to reply your email.

My screen randomly flickers to a blue screen then back to normal. Not a cable issue since it doesn't happen when I move the screen.

Thanks

I have done that several times. In fact, every time I call Verizon with my phone problems, they have me do the same things repeatedly. I keep telling them I have already done them but they insist they are SURE it will work this time. It never does. After doing the factory reset and it still not working correctly, they act like they are confused, almost like I am lying. I did what you suggested above on the slim chance it would work this time but it did not. I bought two S5's that day and the other one works perfectly fine. I know I got a bad phone. Verizon just does not listen. It is a bad phone. I just want a new phone that works properly. Is that too much to ask? I bought a new phone that has been bad from day one. Why oh why do I have to spend hours of my time on the phone, in the store, on the computer, trying to rectify this? It shouldn't be this difficult! Help please!!!

Blue screen, random graphical glitches early 2011

Hi all,
I have a MacBook Pro early 2011, which recently had to have the hard drive replaced for 190 dollars because it failed diagnostics at the Genius Bar, out of warranty surprise, surprise.
Anyway upon receiving my computer back today, literally 10 minutes after I had completed the first time setup a blue screen appeared making me unable to do anything, upon rebooting I was greeted with a grey screen and a loud fan.
Upon resetting nvram and all that stuff with no luck, I remotely wiped my hdd with another one of my macs, and reinstalled the so using the snow leopard disks that came in the box, 20 minutes later after attempting some software updates I am greeted randomly with a screen of graphical jibberish forcing restarts every time this has happened 3 times now
I'm guessing I have to take it back to the apple store and get it fixed again seeing as they cannot get it right the first time? Or is there something else I can try

Your MBP may be having this issue:

T400 LCD Screen flickers or blinks every 5 seconds

T400 with Win XP Pro and Integrated Graphics, all the latest updates. Even did a Rescue to original factory.
I have read numerous issues with Thinkpad screen flickering, but have not found a solution for my laptop.
My T400 just started doing the following: Every 5 seconds, the screen will flicker one time looking like an old CRT screen rolling over once. Every 5 seconds. Oddly, this occurs only at the 60Hz rate. When I set the rate at 50Hz, the problem appears to get fixed. I have disable the Graphics Battery power option.
The flicker occurs during boot up even on the initial black / white screen, narrowing it down to hardware or bios.
Given the number of LCD issues I've read about on this era of machine (2009), I called Lenovo to see if there was a recall - they said no. I'm a Thinkpad fan, but I am beginning to wonder if Lenovo is not acknowledging a known defect.
I just want to know what to fix. Is this a defective LCD screen, or a motherboard chip issue?
Any thoughts out there??

This isn't a widespread defect AFAIK.
Do you have switchable graphics?

Zen 2GB Battery Issue - Please help!

$? I bought two Creative Zen 2GB as their battery life is up to 30 hours. I have a Microsoft Zune and it gets the 4 hours listed but both of the Zen's only get 0- hours per full charge. I fully charge, then run the recovery tool and run disk clean up, format, new firmware. I then add all mp3's at 28 bitrate, EQ off, bass off and keep the volume on 3. In the setup I the brightness down as far as it will go at 0%, I think you should be able to set it to 0%. But what am I missing to only get 0-2 hour max on these two new units? I recently read about Idle shutdown, but yesterday I charged the Zen 8 hours to be sure, then with all the optimal settings I cut it on at 0pm and let it run througout the night and at 9am it had very little charge left...please help with any ideas/suggestions as I just get links from Creative tech telling me things I am already doing.

Excellent, thanks for the replies and I read about the lock function online but it said for 4GB and up I think, but not 2GB. I thought, even with the screen at the lowest, 0% that it was too much lcd and a battery drainer...thanks!
Yes, I have the 2G ZEN player and it does have the "lock function" (often on the Creative's web site they neglect to mention the 2G) - I "lock it" every time I listen to my audio books. By using this function it "closes" (blackens) ?the LCD screen and saves the battery considerably.
When I first bought this player it was the first time I had an internal battery, all the other ones I had used -AAA battery. I was hesitant about using the type of battery in the ZEN player but I can listen ALL day and ALL night and still have battery life left. Then I recharge the battery in the wee hours of the morning, ready to listen to more books and music that day.
Just some thoughts,

IPhone 6 heat, battery drain, screen brightness flickering

My iPhone 6 has three issues. They are all connected in someway I believe. First my iPhone 6 gets rather hot with only moderate use, whenever it gets hot the battery will drain allot. For these too problems I have tried resetting, draining the battery to 0 and then charging to 100 and rebooting again, as well as disabling all battery draining technologies, such as location services. After all of these, the battery life is still worse than my older iPhone 5, using the same applications. The third problem is that the screen's brightness will randomly flick and drop. I have auto-brightness disabled, and my phone does it in all different kinds of circumstances. It will randomly drop when its cold or hot, when the brightness is at any setting, as well in any lighting of room. I have even done a side-by-side test of this between my iPhone 6 and my friends with the same background, after it randomly flickered, even with the brightness all the way up, it was darker than the other one. If you need any extra information just ask!

I had this same problem. Phone draining brand new, extremely fast. Usage and standby times in the battery usage meter have been nearly identical after 4 or 5 hours off the charger.
Went to Genius Bar two weeks ago, they noticed the battery drain in their test but said that nothing else looked unusual (battery fine, no major software issues, etc) and sent me on my way.
The problem continued, last weekend, did a full reset of the phone and set up as a new phone. Logged in using my AppleID at the setup and made sure to use the @icloud email address. I had previously used my first AppleID--a gmail account--from many years ago. The accounts were linked (gmail ID, linked to @icloud, @me, @mac address from later setups).
My problem was solved--went two days without charging, battery life was amazing, until today, when after the phone was acting odd, powered off then turned back on--battery drain began immediately and usage and standby levels are the same. I left the phone untouched for the last hour and "usage" went up and hour, as did stand-by.
For reference--no push email, fetch at 30 minutes, minimal location services on, background app refresh off, automatic update off, parallax off, etc. I have done every "trick" possible to improve battery life (some that make the phone useless).
iCloud seems to be the problem--can't figure out what part of iCloud is the culprit though.
Have another GB appointment tomorrow. Hopefully will get a more thorough diagnosis of the problem. Hopefully report back a solution.

S10-2 LCD screen stays bright white after turning off

I have just replaced a brocken LCD screen of my S10-2 with a compatible LG one (model LP101WS1-TLA1), everything works fine except when I turn off my laptop, the LCD screen won't power off, it stays bright white!
All I can do now is to phsically unplug the battery after each use, and this is driving me nuts!
Has anyone experienced with similar issue? Please help! Thank you!

IPhone 5 screen is flickering randomly, the phone freezes and the screen turns black.

I bought an iPhone 5 in New York last December. Now I live in Bogotá, Colombia and I can't find an authorized service center because they said that only if I bought it from a local carrier they attend the warranty.
My iPhone 5 screen is flickering randomly, the phone freezes and the screen turns black… The only way to make it work is to reboot with Home and Lock buttons pressed at the same time. But in the process most of the times it flickers again, and again, and again. I couldn't find a reason to identify what could be causing the issue. Also sometimes when it freezes, some group applications get ungrouped, causing a big mess.
I already tried to restore the phone, remove the SIM, delete all applications with no luck.
Any sugestion? Thanks!

Was this phone ever jalbroken?
If restoring as new, without using a backup, didn't help, there is certainly a hardware problem that only replacement can fix. Your warranty is void unless you return to the USA. Short of that, finding a local independent iPhone repair center would be your only option

My iphone screen randomly started flickering

my iphone screen randomly started flickering

HI
I've been having a similar problem. I have an Iphone 4s. I downloaded iOS7.0.3 the other day and a couple of days later I started to notice that the screen started to seem faded with a slight flickering on the dark parts but didn't take much notice UNTIL the whole phone locked. I couldn't do anything with it except slide up to show the control centre but nothing worked on that screen, and I could also slide down the screen to show the Notification screen but again nothing responded on that screen either- all the buttons worked but I couldn't switch it off (at the time I didn't know the meaning of hard restart - which would have been handy at the time) so had to drain the battery down to 0% to switch it off (isn't it amazing how long 1% lasts!!).
When I had charged the phone it came on and the screen responded once again but the screen is more faded and flickers, looking at it is like having a photophobic migraine!
I have just now restored the phone to factory settings now and it is still the same.
I have not dropped the phone nor has the phone been near any liquids or anything that would harm it so I know it's not that.
Can someone help please?

Fixing an LCD screen that has been shot in a video and ispulsing/flickering

I have an HDV format movie of a product video that includes a small LCD touch screen, editing in apple intermediate 1080i codec, that includes scenes with LCD screens in the background, one of the screens is flickering as it was not synched to the camera during shooting. It doesn't look too bad in HD but when I downconvert to DVD (using the bonsai method going thru a DV50 intermediate http://web.mac.com/bonsai71/iWeb/HDVtoDVD/Welcome.html) the flickering is very noticeable.
I've tried roughly masking it and using the flicker filter - it helps but it doesn't fix it 100%. The rest of the video looks great. I can't replace the screen as it's too much work. Any ideas how i can reduce the pulsing/flicker.

Random numbers started appearing on lcd screen.

I just started seeing random numbers appearing on my LCD Screen; with that, the pictures also looked unclear. Has anyone had this happen before? Are there any fixes? Thank you very much. Happy Holidays!!
Mark

markpacana,
Can you describe some of the numbers and where they appear on the LCD screen? (ex. in one of the corners or on the sides)
Do the numbers appear after every image that is taken?

Mark (stain) on LCD screen + Flickering

I have an Imac Late 2009. I have 2 problems since one month:
_1 My lcd screen has a stain (mark) on the upper right zone getting bigger and bigger.
_2 My screen started to flicker randomly. It is not the whole screen but just the left part.
Both problems appeared shortly after installing Lion.
I don't have apple care. What should I do?
Thanks.

1. Can you post a screen shot or camera pic? There have been heat related streaks on some iMacs.
2. If it is just one part of the screen it sounds like a backlight problem. There are lamps behind the LCD, and either one of them is failing or part of the power inverter that runs them is failing. You need to take it in for an estimate. You can use this http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/ to find the closest place, either an Apple Store or an authorized service provider. But be prepared, it will not be cheap if it is a lamp or inverter.

Ipod touch 4g cracked screen w/ warranty . battery issue too

hey everyone
i just came back from my long vacation, while on vacation my little 3 year old sister dropped my ipod (long story) but yeah now my ipod touch 4g 8gb is screen is cracked. the ipod still have warranty until january. is it possible to get a replacement/repair from apple?
also on the very same ipod i have some battery issue, it takes me roughly almost 2 hours to charge my battery full and it drains like crazy! maybe 2 hours of usage and its done.
thanks!

An iPod that has been dropped such that it cracked the screen will no longer be under warranty. You can take the iPod to an Apple Store and hope - it's been reported that in some cases the technician has been allowed to replace the iPod under warranty even though Apple is not obligated to do so for user abuse - but you may well have to pay the replacement charge.
Regards.

My macbook pro 2010 has started getting extremely noisy in the last few months and I had a strange warning flash up on the screen a month or so ago about a power or battery issue… can you help please?

Calibrating a 2010 MBP is not required. All it will achieve is putting an unnecessary cycle on it and shortening its life:
