Screen darker on one side

My iPAD 2 seems to be slightly darker on the left-hand side of the screen (when in portrait mode) and darker on the top (when in landscape). Has anyone else noticed this?

If your backlight or screen is already starting have problems, i would call apple, or take it to an apple store, this is something which points to further problems. Im sure apple would be happy to help you out with this, especially since it is so new...

Screen Flicker on one side

Hi, I use an HP Mini 210-1099.TU. It has served me very well so far but since a few days the right side of the screen doesnt stop fickering. I have tried system restore to an earlier date and taken all steps as advised by 'Windows Help' regarding brightness but nothing seems to work. Kindly guide me as to how this issue can be resolved.
Thank you!

Dear Customer,
Welcome to HP Support Forum and we are glad to assist you.
Whether your laptop screen flickers occasionally or continuously, it's not only a distraction but it could mean that a hardware problem has developed. Troubleshooting the exact cause of a flickering screen can be challenging, but the cause may be something as minor as a loose cable
The inverter board provides the laptop's backlight lamp power. It does this by converting AC current to DC. If the inverter board is shorting out or failing, it could cause your laptop screen to flicker
The backlight lamp provides light to the LCD or LED laptop screen. LCD laptop screens generally use CCFL backlights, while LED screens use LED backlights. Your laptop's screen may flicker if the backlight lamp is failing or if the power cable from the inverter board is not securely connected
Step 1
Change the refresh rate to match the capabilities of your monitor. The refresh rate is a measurement of how many times the screen redraws each second. Although this setting is related to older, desktop monitors, it can affect the quality of the Liquid Crystal Displays found in laptops. Right-click the desktop and choose "Screen Resolution," then click "Advanced Settings" and "Monitor." If enabled, place a check beside "Hide Modes That This Monitor Cannot Display" and choose a higher refresh rate from the list.
Step 2
Update your graphics card drivers. This is the most likely cause if you've always had a problem with flicker. Look for "Hardware and Sound" in the Control Panel and click "Device Manager." Under "Display Adapters," you'll see the exact brand and model of your video card. Go to the manufacturer's driver Web page and search for this model to download the appropriate drivers. Alternatively, you can revert to an older driver if the flicker began immediately after an update. In this case, return to the Device Manager, right-click your adapter and then "Driver." Click "Roll Back Driver" and "Yes" to confirm.
Step 3
Turn on Vertical Sync if the flicker occurs when DirectX or OpenGL is in use, for example, while playing a PC game. Vertical Sync, or VSync, locks the refresh rate of the application to the refresh rate of the monitor. Horizontal flicker is reduced, which improves image quality. For Nvidia cards, VSync is found in "Manage 3D Settings." For Intel, look for "3D Settings" or "Asynchronous Flip." On ATI/AMD cards, turn on "Wait for Vertical Refresh."
Step 4
Lower and raise the laptop screen repeatedly to determine if the flicker is related to movement. Hardware failure is the likely cause when flicker occurs only when the laptop moves. Most likely, the screen cable is loose or damaged, but the inverter and backlight can also cause this problem. The laptop needs to be opened in order to confirm the problem, but do not attempt this unless you are familiar with PC repair and do not mind voiding the warranty. For the best results, take the laptop to a licensed technician or send it back to the manufacturer.

Firefox on iMac 27" screen - menu on one side, window on other

Love the 27 inch screen! When I open Firefox, however, the window opens in the middle of the screen, and the menu is on the far left. I want the menu to be over the application. It feels weird having to scroll left in order to get to Bookmarks. Is there a way I can make the Firefox window open on the left rather than the middle?

Yeah, that worked, of course. It worked so well, in fact, that I tried it on the window for e-mail, and it worked there, too. I am betting this works with ALL windows on the screen. I am also betting this is just about as basic an issue as a person might have, short of "can't find the shut down switch".
Thanks!

Panoramas in CC 2014 are darkened on one side and too light on the opposite side.

I have both Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC 2014 on my MacBook Pro.
When sending images from Lightroom for merge ring to panorama and CC 2014 is open, the final product is different from what happens in the CC version. The final pano is severely darker on one side and somewhat too light on the opposite side of the panorama.
I should mention that I used Lightroom to color corrected the images used. I used RAW images from my Canon Rebel xTi and all the images are equally lit (or close to it.)
If Photoshop CC is open, and I send the images to merge to Panorama from Lightroom, the final pano is fine and consistent in lighting across the panorama.
Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Here are my specs:
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro11,3
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.3 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 16 GB
Boot ROM Version: MBP112.0138.B02
SMC Version (system): 2.19f3

I am having this exact problem and it is driving me crazy. I have to keep switching workspaces to see any, but sometimes they all disappear.
Restarting AI does not seem to make a difference.
Any help or tips, other than uninstalling and reinstalling would be appreciated.

Macbook 13 inch late 2008 screen not illuminated on one side

Hi Apple Community,
I need help! My late 2008 13 inch aluminium Macbook screen has 'died' on one side resulting in one side being noticeably dark. The left side has no problems, only the right side.
I am a student living in New Zealand where there is no Apple store in the country I can go to. Local service shop says just to look at it and confirm that one side is dark (which any 2 year old cad identify that it is) will cost a ridiculous $100. Estimated cost will be around $1000 to replace screen.
Has anyone had the same problem and how have you solved it? What is the cost of repair or is there something I can do it help it?
Macbook specs:
MacBook, 13inch, Aluminium, Late 2008
Processor: 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4 GB
Software: OS X 10.9.4 (Mavericks)
I do not have AppleCare
Thanks!

Try these folks at www.usedmac.com. You may have some luck getting technical help from them by email. It is more difficult by phone. You can look through the parts list for what they have in stock for your computer model to get an idea of the prices. You probably won't need any heavy or large parts so some priority mail service won't break the bank. Your problem may simply be a cable but even a back light led or controller circuit board should not be too expensive. It will require some careful work on your part for replacement.
good luck.

I purchased Macbook Pro i5 in March 2011. Now the screen has problem; one vertical blue line is in the screen (at the right side). I noticed this last week when I opened the MacBook, and now I am always seeing it. How to remove it?

I purchased Macbook Pro i5 in March 2011. Now the screen has problem; one vertical blue line is in the screen (at the right side). I noticed this last week when I opened the macbook and now I am always seening it. I am seeing the blue vertical line always in the screen. However, I am not seeing this line when I open Word, Excel, PowerPoint files (without pictures). But I am seeing this line always when I see movies, pictures, and all the files which have pictures. Please do let me know how can I remove this vertical blue line (blue tint) pernamentally from the screen.

My ipad screen won't turn one way when I turn/bump my ipad (will do one side but not the other)

Yes there is a rotation lock setting.
First try the switch above the volume rocker. If that doesnt work then double click the home button. It should display a multitasking bar at the bottom of the screen. Slide that to the right and it should display a few settings including screen lock. Make sure that it is unchecked.

My on screen keyboard has moved to one side and is partially inaccessible. This has only happened on Facebook messenging and is okay with everything else. How do I put it back to normal.

IMac Dark Area Left Side Screen

Worked late couple of nights ago - watched the left side of the screen go darker. Turned the iMac off for 15 minutes - and the screen was okay again.
Till today... the dark area - left side of screen - turned up again. Disappeared again for 5-10 seconds and the problem reoccured.
The iMac is cold at the bottom of the screen but pretty hot in the top... wondered if it has something to do with the heat generated.
Often happens when iMac is turned on for several hours.
Any ideas?
The iMac is from fall 2009.

Greetings,
Sounds like the backlight behind the LCD is going out.
Reset the SMC and then test: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Reset the PRAM and then test: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html
If the issue persists after you follow the above steps you are experiencing a hardware issue and your system requires evaluation and / or service.

Help - Audio in just one side, screen is dying

Hey,
I've been having problems lately with my ipod, it didn't fall or anything but now I can only hear it through one side (it's not the headphones, I checked), and there is a weird black line across the screen... also, if you press the screen, it flickers.
Has anyone had this problem?

Sounds like your headphone jack on the iPod might be broken or bent, so when you put the headphones in they are not making full contact inside the port, making it seem as if the audio is fading in or out, or sometimes just not playing at all. As for a fix, the only thing I can suggest is bringing it to the Apple store and having them check it out.

G570 bought four months back - screen screw has come out from one side

Hi there,
I bought Ideapad G570 in June 2012 from Jumbo Electronics in Great India Place, Noida (UP). The Serial No is CBxxxxxxxx. Today I noticed that one of screws (through which lcd screen gets attached to the body) has come out of place and the laptop's screen is kind of hanging from one side. The product quality is pretty bad.
Anyway, I have got two queries:
1. How to avail on-site warranty support to get my laptop repaired?
2. When I checked about the warranty on your site through my serial no, it showed that my laptop's warranty expirtation date is 2013-04-26, which is less that a year from the date of purchase (3 June 2012). Could somebody explain me that?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
