Satellite A105 - 1/3 of the screen is freezing periodically

I have an Satellite A105 and the bottom 1/3 of the screen is freezing periodically, yet the top 2/3 of the screen is perfectly fine.
After tapping the bottom part of the screen or the border around the bottom of the screen for a while it will go back to normal.
After the slightest movement, it will begin to go haywire again.
I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not this is a problem with the screen or could it be the inverter??

The Inverter simply provides voltage to the backlight, it cannot knock out a 1/3 of the image.
The problem is most likely to be the LCD Module, or LCD Cable.

My macbook pro keeps flashing green lines across the screen then freezing, can anyone help?

Back in December my macbook started doing this thing quite regularly where it would flash black or green lines all across the screen, for maybe half a second, then the screen would freeze, so I would power it down manually then back on again. I took it into a store and paid a lot of money for them to "fix" it, but when I got it back it was still doing it. I just recently took it in to a different store and the guy said he couldn't reproduce the problem, but replaced the RAM and gave it back to me. Within a day of having it back the same thing happened, twice. At this point I'm not sure what to do, the money I spent on "fixing" it could almost have bought me a new one. The most recent time I shut it off, when it was turning back on it stopped on the grey screen with the apple and started making a continuous beeping sound, which I took a video of. Does anybody know why any of this is happening??

Hi Were you using the apple store for the repairs you had done? As to the point of taking in to a store to have it repaired and getting it back with the same problem. It should have been taken back to the same store as they have to stand behind what they do. You do not say what they repaired. The store replacing ram without knowing what the problem is ,is questionable. If you are going to change ram for the original apple installed ram, you need to make sure it is compatible with your MBP. One of the best sources for this is Macsales.com. As to the Beeping sounds here is a link on it. You do not say if this is one continuing beep or more than one repeating itself.http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202768

What causes the screen to freeze? 10.7.4

update to 10.7.4 and now for no reason the screen just freeze's

Use backups with Carbon Copy Cloner in addition to TimeMachine.
You can find CCC on www.macupdate.com
Lion does not include support for Rosetta. That and plug-ins and extensions change.
You really should try the Safari support forum www.apple.com/support/safari to help you isolate why or maybe you just need to
1. delete all the history cache and other temp files is saves to disk ~/Library/Caches/ (MetaData, Safari, com.safari etc)
2. Create a new Safari profile folder ~/Library/Safari
Or create a new user account for your system also and try that.
Never upgrade one OS over an older one, install on a new hard drive. Then use Setup Assistant.
And you might want to just try installing Lion new on another hard drive and see how Lion only really runs.
If you had saved the Lion installer you could test it out on another hard drive.
You can always boot from the 10.6.x DVD or flash memory that you had and wipe out Lion and take an hour to install SL to a new drive and do all the updates and also use Setup Assistant from your old drive.

I purchased a new iphone 4 last week and it has worked fine until yesterday the screen was freezing. I have restored from a back up a few times but this does not help. Any thoughts?

I purchased a new iphone 4 last week and it has been working fine until yesterday the screen was freezing. Today I have restored factory settings and restored settings from a back up from a previous iphone 3G. The restore has not fixed the freezing issue. Any thoughts?

Only a week old? Take it back and get a new one one....call that one DOA,

Hi, I hope someone can help.... When I open a new user account, which I want to set parental control on, the screen keeps freezing once the account is open. The wee rainbow circle appears and I can't do anything. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Report any errors it found for Disk Repair, don't need the ones for Permissions Repair.
Try it again & see if anything changed, but have Activity Monitor open & Show All Processes & sorted on CPU%, also have Console open if we can... maybe not when switching, but we'll see.
Does this happen if you just try to create a new admin user???

My G5 iMac has a screen color problem. The color is green with lines. What can I do to repar this? Sometimes the screen will freeze and I have to reboot the computer and the screen will be normal for up to 5-6 hours and then suddenly changes back to green

Try running in Safe mode. This leaves out some video drivers. Which results in machine not using advanced video hardware.

Satellite Pro M10: image on the screen is very dark

I have a Satellite Pro M10 Notebook that has a black screen, i.e. the back light doesn't work. There is an image on the screen but it is very dark. When connecting an external monitor I get a normal image on that monitor.
From information gathered from other posts here I conclude that there is a problem with the backlight of the lcd screen or the inverter. I checked all connections, but that didn't solve the problem. If I bring the laptop to a service center what will it approx. cost to have it repaired? The thing is 2-3 years old, so if it is very expensive I might better get a new laptop.
I'm sure I will be able to change to inverter board myself, but how will I be able to determine that the inverter is the problem? How to obtain a new inverter? Does anyone of you know the right product number?
My Pro M10 itself has product number PS630E-G205Z-DU.

Hi
I agree with Tobi. You description sounds like a faulty FL-inverter.
This part is placed behind the LCD screen under the lid cover.
As mentioned this part isnt very expensive and you could order it from the Toshiba service partner in your country. But please note that if you have no replacements experiences so you should ask the technicians for the help.

Satellite L300: How to make the screen less blue?

Hi,
Is it possible to make the screen less blue, not fully color managed, just a little warmer. TIA.

Hey Zeb,
Why you want to change the color management? Are not satisfied with the colors on your L300 screen? I have this notebook too and Im very satisfied with the color management. For me its all ok and I dont change anything on it.
Anyway, you can change the colors in graphics driver menu. On Intel cards for example:
Display properties > Settings > Advanced > Intel Graphics > Graphic Properties > Color Correction

Yellow lines and some purple around the screen, and freezing, help?!

hi i have an iMac G4 First generation, and lately, the computer has been malfunctioning in the strangest way;
its been either crashing and freezing up, OR invaded by yellow and orange lines all around the screen... i tried a clean install of system software and still no luck at all. i took out the extra ram that was in there, and still hasnt worked. yellow and orange still appears around the screen, and sometimes, the mouse seems to have black bars forming a square shape over it.
please help if anyone can. i would love to find a solution available that doesnt involve having to bring it in and replace hardware, however, i know that it is probably unlikely to be able to
these yellow marks around the screen are frightening!
thanks!
hope someone can help me

The screen keeps freezing on the zoom function

before you respond with the most obvious response of going to 'Accessibility' and turning off the zoom function, please note that this is not an option for me as I am legally blind and rely on this function to use my ipad
i have noticed other people have had this problem before but i haven't come across a solution that really helps me so I'm asking again -
as mentioned I use the zoom function regularly, but recently the screen has started freezing when it's zoomed in and the only thing I can do is reset. It also seems to be lagging a little bit - hard to explain, but it doesmt just zoom waaaay in and stay there like other users have found (it does this on occasion) but it has also started freezing every now and then when I try to tap the zoom in or out
i have a 32G ipad 2 which is just over 2 years old...it still has plenty of space left on it and I update the software regularly.
Does anyone know of a glitch with the zoom that's causing this?
it only started happening a couple of months ago, and was tolerable while it was only happening once every couple of weeks or so but it is becoming more and more frequent - I have had to reset my iPad four times today alone.
thanks

You can try restoring the iOS software on your iPad:
Restore: Connect your device to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.
See here for more details on restore: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252

Satellite A300 - greyish colors on the screen

When playing games on my Satellite A300 (PSAGCA-02W010) and looking at pictures all the colors seem greyish and a bit dull. When I called them up they said it could be "limitations of the display" and I could have it looked at but I would be charged $120 if it was because of limitations just wondering if anyone else has had similar issues with displays.
It looks similar to my mates hewlett packard LCD screen which is really old.
Any advice would be helpful!

It is not easy to discuss this issue on this forum because none of us can see how it looks like.
Everyone of us has different opinion about the same thing.
I own Satellite A300-1LI and I am very satisfied with display brightness and colors.
From time to time I play COD4 (online) and last week I have installed Quantum of solace.
Simply great.
If you are not satisfied with display visit nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and switch your notebook in front of them and explain why you are not satisfied with display.
We can discuss here for days but at the end you can just read comments about changing display brightness and colour.
What else you can do about it?
