Satellite A20 - screen keeps turning white

So I am having a problem where my pc screen keeps turning white unless pressure is applied to the lower back part of the monitor. As I was typing this message the screen managed to stay normal by itself for a while, but then went back, so I am thinking there mya be some hope for it.
Any help will be useful, so thank you ahead of time.

hi IBE876,
what a nick ;-)
this sounds like having problems with the lcd.
to me it looks loke a faulty cable and / or a bad inverter.
you should not open the display cover until you know what you do and you have no more warranty on this machine...
this inverter is a dangerous thing! it produces high voltage for the lighttube.
if there is still warranty on this unit, better consult a servicepartner, he has also the right spareparts...
if you want to do it by yourself... keep in mind this could be dangerous!
make sure that no powersource is connected to your system and battery is taken out.
maybe it could be a detached cable...

My ipod touch screen keeps turning white

my ipod tuouch screen keeps turning white

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
If you can recover use of the iPod and it keeps ocuring try restoring to factory settings/new iPod.
- If still not successful or it keeps recurring that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My curve 8900 screen keep going white

in need of some help my curve screen keeps going white after turning it on sum time it come on ok for about 10mins then it locksup and go white again will try any thing to sort it

curtismartin50,
We from what you have described there seems to be an issue with the software on the phone or the phone itself. You can try to address the software by following these steps below:
1) Have you performed a hard reset, by pulling the battery out and waiting 2-3 minutes before rebooting when you place the battery back in?
2) You may want to try upgrading the device software by downloading BlackBerry Device Software fro blackberry.com
3) Have you performed a full "Wipe" on your BlackBerry Smartphone, you can do this by going to "Options" > "Security Options" > "General Settings" and press your Menu Key to choose "Wipe Handheld"
Note that this will delete all data on your device and restore the unit back to factory defualts!
Hope this helps

HT1414 my iPad doesn´t work, I already restarted it, the screen keeps turning on and off, and I can´t see anything o work on it, what else should I do?

my iPad doesn´t work, I already restarted it, the screen keeps turning on and off, and I can´t see anything or work on it, what else should I do?

First lets assume you battery is completely or almost completely drained.
Plug the iPad into the charger that came with it and plug that into a known good wall outlet. Leave it alone for at least an hour. Then, while it is still plugged in reset the iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the iPad starts and seems to be ok let it continue to Harte until the battery is fully charged.
If this doesn't solve the problem I suggest having an Apple technician take a look at your iPad. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Satellite A300 screen keeps jumping up and down

Hi,
What is on my screen keeps jumping up and down, any thoughts, is this a problem with video card in Satellite A300?

I have tried to install the display driver from the European website. During uninstallation I got a messgae to say failures occurred during uninstallation, and then during installation I got the message of Install package failure!
I have my external monitor now connected to laptop, but in personalising display settings, I cannot get my computer to recognise that I have two monitors now, as both keep coming up with number 1 (Multiple Monitors) on ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650, and they both have that degraded view, a bit like in safe mode.
So in checking of device manager under display adapters I have:
ATI Mobility Radeon HD3650
and under Sound, video and game controllers I have:
High Definition Audio Device
Realtek High Definition Audio
In this whole process I deleted a file that was previously here called
ATI HMD...
should I resinstall this?
So I'm not sure if the new display driver has been installed? help.

Screen randomly turned white!

I was playing Pac the Man X on my Powerbook earlier today as I frequently do when something rather bizarre happened. Pac Man suddenly froze, and my screen began to turn white. It stayed normal for a second after Pac Man froze, but the went to the white. I wasn't straight to white, but like a jumpy version of a fade to white PowerPoint transition (best analogy I could think of). I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary before this happened, and I have never had any trouble with Pac Man. I wasn't sure what was going on, which made me somewhat nervous, so I immediately did a force restart (command, control, power key). After the restart, my computer started up fine. I went straight into disk utility and backed up my hard drive onto my external 500gb WD drive (the new My Book Premium) just in case there was an actual problem. It would be rather devastating for me to loose my 7,000 song library among other things. Since the reboot, everything has been running without a hitch. The whole thing happened almost 6 hours ago.
Now that I have explained the problem, I will give as much background information as possible so everyone will know exactly what is going on. Last night (6/29), I downloaded the 10.4.7 update, the iTunes 6.0.5 update, the QuickTime 7.1.2 update, and the iPod updater 2006-06-28 all through software update. After the updates were finished downloading and installing, I chose the option for shutdown instead of restart and went to bed. This morning (Friday morning actually, 6/30) I started up my computer, logged in, launched mail and AIM, and pulled up my Dashboard. Before heading off to work, I closed the screen to put my PowerBook to sleep as I always do. I noticed that the sleep light did not come on at all, so I opened the computer back up only to be greeted be a black screen. The computer was still on and running, but the screen was not coming up. I moved the mouse around with no response. I then did a force restart, hit the shutdown button on the login window, and then left for work. When I returned home, I started up my PowerBook, launched Mail and AIM, poked around the iTunes store a bit (got the 2 free singles), and fired up Pac the Man X. After I had been playing for a few minutes, the white screen thing happened.
Now for the tech specs of my situation: I have a 15", 1.25ghz PowerBook G4. It has 1gb of RAM installed. I have a Logitech MX900 Bluetooth mouse connected wirelessly (obviously), as well as a 500gb Western Digital My Book Premium drive connected through the USB2 port on the left side. I also have a Sony 19" external display connected to the DVI port running in a dual screen setup. I am running OS 10.4.7 and had Mail, AIM, iTunes (not playing music), and Pac the Man X open and running at the time of the 'event'. I connect to the Internet wirelessly through my Airport Extreme Base Station. I do not know if the Sony display was affected because it was turned off at the time.
All right, I believe that that is all the information that anyone could ever need on my situation (and the most times I have used 'that' in a sentence). Sorry if it is a little overwhelming, I just want to make sure I cover all the bases. Is this a precursor to a major problem, or am I just being paranoid? What caused it? Has anyone else experienced this? Should I go ahead and have Apple look at it before my warranty runs out? I have really haven't had any major problems with my PowerBook and would miss it terribly should something happen. If anyone can help me here, I would really, really appreciate it. Also, if I somehow managed to leave out any necessary information, please let me know. I looked briefly but did see any similar posts; so sorry if this has already been posted. Thank you in advance for any help.

Satellite A87 Screen keeps falling down

Hello everyone,
i got a really serious problem: My screen keeps falling down, it doesnt hold itself anymore in the position i put it in.
Is there anything i can do? I got a Satellite A-87.
Thanks guys, Thomas

Hi
Do you really have a Satellite A87? Sorry but this notebooks series is not known to me.
Please check this series again!
Back to your issue According to your description the display hinges dont work correctly and cannot hold the TFT display in the right position.
To be honest there is no much to do. The faulty hinges must be replaced.
Therefore you should contact the ASP in your country for the help and ask for the further handling.
Best regards

HT1533 screen keeps turning black

The screen display on my Macbook keeps turning off. It looks fine at starup but then immediately turns off or black.

Could be an inverter and/or cable that is weak to the point of failure.
Does the MacBook work if using an external display with adapter?
You could look into iFixit.com for a guide to see what kind of effort
it may take for a technician or skilled owner to fix this; or if other
defects or symptoms may really be another problem.
A few users mentioned a fix for a similar symptom where their
MacBook went dark, but they were able to get into the Setting
for Sleep the Display and set it to Never.
This long thread has some other ideas among many pages:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4025046
The one I liked was when someone had upgraded their RAM
and then chose to move the RAM, revert to older, or clean
the contacts of the newer RAM and reinstall it. A few tried a
reset of the SMC (system management controller) & so on.
Good luck & happy computing!

Unlocked BlackBerry Curve 8520 Stuck on black Blackberry loading screen, then turns white?

I recently downloaded OS 5.0.0.900 from the Tmobile website for my 8520. I used the desktop manager. When i try to turn the phone on, theres a black BlackBerry loading screen, which loads 2/3 of the way then the screen turns white. then it repeats all over again. did i mess up the phone by downloading the new OS? how can i fix this? help pleaseeee!

The Research In Motion folder wasn't in Common Files but was in Program Files (x86), but there isn't a subfolder called AppLoader, or a program called loader.exe!
Here's what I can see.
And then these are the subfolders.
I've done a search for the program and it isn't in any of the folders.
