Satellite L670D-13F 17.3 inch Notebook - screen display issues

Hi.
I've had my Satellite for almost a year, and in recent weeks the screen display has been compromised. There is turquoise/blue thin line all over anything white or white-tinged. I'd like to hope it's nothing virus-related as I have McAffee installed.
Any ideas what this could be? Is it a known issue?
Thanks.

Sounds like the red LED has gone in that display line, since RGB for white without the red (just green and blue) equals cyan (turquoise).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGB_color_model
Try making a picture with a solid red square in a paint program and see if there are any black lines when you display it.
I have a permanent red vertical line on the display of a 9 year old Toshiba laptop. Otherwise it works fine. If the display is white you don't notice anything.
It's possible it could be graphic card related (e.g. if it's not there all the time and only happens when the graphic chip heats up) but if it's permanent it's more likely to be the display matrix.

    Hello,
    My lovely newish L670D-13F is currently unusable and I wonder if it has a virus?
    When I switch it on only about one millimetre of the Toshiba logo flashes up then the Microsoft logo and starter bar appear but in a flashing wobbling way then all the colour fades from the screen and stays white for a few moments then the screen goes black and the Windows tune plays and the four coloured globes appear but in a very distorted way then all the colour fades from the screen again, goes black then the cursor appears but in an enlarged wobbly way, screen fades etc etc.
    This happened about a week ago but when I switched it on the next day it behaved normally and advised me to use system restore which I did and the computer behaved normally for a few more days but then it happened again but has not started up normally and is now unusable as pushing any keys has no effect at all.
    Sorry about my description as I am sure you can guess I am not at all "techy"!
    Many Thanks,
    Nicole

    Hi nicole_3,
    I dont think its a virus. In such case Windows wouldnt able to start anymore so viruses causing other problems. As MisterX already wrote this could be a hardware malfunction and related to graphic card.
    If you dont have an external monitor to check this I would try a recovery installation from HDD as described here:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
    This can restore the original factory settings with all drivers and tools from Toshiba.

  • Pixelated enlarged screen - display issues related to external hard drive

    Hi.  I had an external hard drive plugged into my macbook.  I have a second monitor hooked up.  My screen is pixelated and enlarged (I have to scroll to see the whole desktop).  The icons are rearranged and very blurry. Everything is blurry and enlarged.  My files will open, but they are all blurry as well.  When I noticed these display issues, I realized the mac was not detecting the hard drive that was plugged into the usb port. I  unplugged it and then a LOT of folders with the hard drive name appeared on the desktop and then disappeared.  I know I may have misstepped by unplugging it, but what can I do now?  I have rebooted, shut down, checked zoom and screen resolution settings, and unplugged the monitor.  It's the same when I uplug the second monitor and just view my desktop on the mac.  Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

    There is a multitude of posts here addressing the dangers of using Mackeeper. But just look at this:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3691
    While this particular problem may not have been caused by Mackeeper, I urge you to uninstall this piece of trash.

  • Screen display issue with InDesign CS4 (Windows)

    I just upgraded from CS2 to CS4. I can open and use InDesign with no problems, until I try to switch to another application. Then, when I try to go back to InDesign, all I can see is the portion of the bar at the top of the screen that shows the link to Bridge, the view options and a bit of the outline of a palette or two. I have a two monitor setup. Most of the palettes are on the auxillary monitor and they show up just fine. The main display is where I'm having the issue. I can toggle in and out of Photoshop with no display issues. I haven't tried working with anything else from the CS4 package besides InD and Photoshop. This was not an issue with any CS2 product (Dreamweaver, Fireworks, InDesign, Photoshop, Flash). Nor has it been an issue with any of the other software I am running (so far).
    When the display vanishes, I can see the "data" from the program I was trying to toggle out of. For example, if I try to toggle between this page and InD right now, I can see most of this page except for the part of the page obscured by the outline of the control palette (that one reminiscent of pagemaker) and the little bits at the top. I can't see the project I'm working on. I can't see the File/Edit/etc. bar at the top of the page. A Control/Shift/Save will lock up the program completely. Then, I see the "save as" menu box (in addition to the browser screen around it) but the program is locked up. I can close everything on the computer and reboot and open InDesign to resume work--that is until I need to do something like edit a photo to drop into a layout. Then the issue occurs all over again.
    Windows machine; XP Pro, service pack 3 build 2600; NVidea GeForce 9600 GT graphics card.

    Bob, thanks for the info about the 6.0.2 patch. I'll try grabbing that today. This morning, on the first boot, I can't even see the program when I open it--just the snip of the command palette and part of the very top bar. Very irritating.
    Peter, I have tried maximizing, closing, reopening, etc. everything else I can think of. Same issue. I finally just bit the bullet and went back to CS2, rebuilding the current project so I can get the work done by deadline. I'll look for new video drivers this afternoon after I get back on track timewise on this newsletter. Weird that this display issue should just affect the one Adobe program though, and not the others if it is a video driver problem. I didn't do a lot of work in Dreamweaver--just enough to see if it displayed the same weird behaviour. Nope. Nor does Photoshop. Nor does Bridge. Nor does Acrobat. nor does any other software on the machine.

  • Switching users causes screen display issues

    I've had a new MacBook Pro 2011 that came with Lion on it. It's been working well, I migrated my old user accounts from my previous MacBook with Snow Leopard on it.
    After having it a few weeks my son tried using the fast user switching and going into his account but the screen was exteremly glitchy. It basically show what looked like my users screen and would erase and paint with his correct screen as he dragged windows around. Eventually his screen would like correct then spontantously revert to showing my screen again.
    Fast user switching back to my account showed everything correctly. Logging us both out and logging him in alone works fine. Logging him in first and then switching to my user gives me the problem he experienced of seeing mostly his screen and having to drag screens around causing re-painting to show my proper screen.
    Screen refresh issue aside if we can work through messed up screens the computer appears to be working fine, apps launch properly and no sign of any memory or file corruption, everything "works" properly.
    I tried completely removing and re-creating his account but the problem remains.
    Couple of factors in case they are relevant.
    1) We upgraded the HDD to a SDD but it shows not signs of any issues
    2) We upgraded the memory beyond the normal limit of 8gb to 16gb using a Cruicial memory kit certified for the MacBook Pro.
    3) We have both the laptop screen 1680x1050 running and an attached thunderbolt display AND a usb DisplayLink adapter to a 3rd Dell 1600x1200 monitor.
    My intial thoughts were with the DisplayLink adapter. I made sure to get the latest drivers from the display link web site and did some searches but no one has described my problem.
    The screen issue seems to present itself mainly on the "main monitor" the 27" thunderbolt display but we have seen some screen corruption on the MacBook LCD. Oddly the DisplayLink always appears correct.
    Anyone have any ideas?
      System Version:          Mac OS X 10.7.3 (11D50b)
      Kernel Version:          Darwin 11.3.0
      Boot Volume:          Macintosh SSD
      Boot Mode:          Normal
      Secure Virtual Memory:          Enabled
      64-bit Kernel and Extensions:          Yes
      Time since boot:          21:31

    As a followup. Experimenting seems to suggest that removing the driver for DisplayLink cures the issue. Going to test more with reinstalling the driver and just unplugging the USB cable before switching.
    Was also seeing (before uninstall) issues with getting a Beach Ball freeze during logout of the 2nd user.
    I want to be certain of if it's the DisplayLink driver but once I am certain I'll take my gripe to their support forum.

  • TS5167 iMac 27 Inch from mid 2011 with screen display issues

    I have a iMac 27 Inch from mid 2011 with a 2.7Ghz Intel Core i5 processor and a AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB video card. The screen has started to go dark on the left side whilst the right side is normal. Has anyone else had this issue? Is it the video card that is defect?
    Thank you

    Hello! I have a problem with the video card radeon 6970M, is the one that is described in this article ((((I'm from Ukraine,  and I purchased my iMac 27 " in the United States. Can you do something to help me with this problem? In Ukraine are now very expensive to change the video card on the iMac, the dollar is very high, a new video card will be very expensive for me. I can't work right now on my computer (((

  • 17-inch PowerBook G4 Display Issues

    Hello Everyone!
    I'm just posting to voice my concern about the issues with the vertical lines on 17-inch PowerBook G4s. I have a 1.67Ghz PBG4 17 and it was the model right before the last one, it had only a 1440x990 resolution, I want to know if this is involved in the problem or not but I do have one stuck pixel one the right side center of the screen and that has been there almost sense the day I bought it but I didn't notice for a wile and when I did it was too late to do anything about it and I hope that we can get through to apple with our problems and they will provide a replacement because I know that most of you with this problem have it a lot worse than I do.

    Your PowerBook is the same generation as the one most people are complaining about, although the majority of affected users that have been reporting the problem have machines that were manufactured around the end of the first quarter of 2005 at the factory described as W8 in Shanghi. There are ways to find out if yours is one of these machines by doing some web searching. Stating site names here my go against Apple's usage policies for this discussion board ... sorry, but info is easy to find with a little searching.
    I am glad to hear that you have not as yet experienced the dreaded lines or blanked-out areas. It is still a good idea to call Apple Care and get a case number if you have not already. Explain your problem and they may be able to help. Even if there is nothing they can do, your problem will be registered. This case number may come in handy if heaven forbid your machine starts developing more severe screen problems. Good luck!

  • Lock screen display issues - Macbook Pro Yosemite

    When waking my Macbook up after it has slept, the lock screen sometimes appears as below, with the left hand side appearing as fragmented lines and the right normally, save for the fact that the blurred image is not my current desktop background. At other times the lock screen will appear as normal, but with the incorrect blurred image. However, it will also appear totally normally with the correct blurred background too at times, with no discernible reason for any of the variations. I have tried changing the desktop background to see if that would help at all but it did not seem to make a difference. Any ideas??

    The next time the problem happens, note the date and time the problem occurred, then go to Applications/Utilities/Console and copy the log starting at the time of the crash. Paste the log in a reply. Please do not use a screen shot as they can be hard to read. If there are repeated runs of the same messages, please post only one run. Be selective about what you post and don’t  post huge amounts. Make sure there is no personal data visible. Information learned from Linc Davis.

  • Screen Display issues

    My ipod has suddenly decided to bug out, im getting split screen, stipes and gradual fading, which causes the touch screen not to respond. I've restarted and restored neither of which worked, please help if you can.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • The Dreaded White screen (display) issue

    Hey guys,
    I have the ol' white screen problem. I can mount, restore, and everything just fine but instead of showing menu's the screen shows a white screen.
    I have tried all the 5 R's and even restoring again and again. From what i've read here (since my ipod is out of warranty) I'm pretty much screwed and will have to buy a new one. My question is if I wanted to replace the broken part myself, would this be the logic board?
    All of this started because I dropped my ipod 2ft onto carpet at work
    Thanks

    They sell replacement parts, but not the logic board.

  • Screen/Display Issues with Aperture 3.6 & iPhoto 9.6 on Yosemite

    When I open Aperture or iPhoto, my screen goes all wonky. I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro with 8 GB Ram with the Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB. What is it doing this? How can I fix it?

    Hello there, tehat17.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for troubleshooting issues with the display on your MacBook Pro:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    Start with these:
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    Reset the resolution
    Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    If you tried all of these steps for your display and the video issues persist, contact Apple technical supportor take your Apple computer to the nearest Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).

  • Screen Display Issue..

    My screen won't display but I can still music, I resetted it a couple of times already. Anyone else have this issue but me? If so how did you resolve the problem?

    Ace, you'll probably need to return it to place of purchase or to Apple. Not much anybody here can do about a hardware issue.
    Bummer.
    Good luck.

  • MBA'13 screen display issues

    Hi there, I bought my MacBook Air 13 about a month ago. Recently, my screen started to have uneven brightness, with the left side of the screen being dimmer than the right. At times, the right side is not only brighter than the left, but its brightness flickers too. This uneven brightness is only noticeable when the brightness of the screen is between the 1st and the 3rd bar of brightness though. What do I do?

    Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

    The images move when you scroll over to the left or right so you can get to the content,
    I have played with display resolution but to no effect, any suggestions ???

    Could be that the Zoom feature is on.
    Check the settings in System Preferences - Universal Access.

  • 12 inch G4 Powerbook display issue

    I recently took a flight and the Powerbook was fine that morning but when I got to my destination I turned on the computer to find waves in the apple on load up and the blue background had turned a pixalated blue and white. The once black background after load up is now bright lime green. and there are pixation and anti-alasising issues. It looks like the display can't do gradations and it turns black lime green. Any ideas have tried to reset PRAM many times and have gone into displays and moved the color count from millions to thousands a bunch but no luck. Any suggestions would be helpful.

    gazo:
    Glad removing the Airport Extreme card worked. You can try wiping off the contacts with a lint free cloth, and replacing the Airport card making sure it is securely seated. Sometimes heating and cooling along with the normal handling of a laptop dislodges the card enough to cause problems. If that doesn't help you will need to get a new card.
