Y40-80 Volume/Sound and Screen Flashing Problem

Hey guys, I'm having an issue with my new Y40-80. The volume will sometimes noticeably decrease and then randomly go back to normal. I have installed the relevant audio driver from Lenovo as well as completely updated my laptop through Windows Update. I have also done a complete system restore, but to no avail. I also get a hissing noise when using my earphones, which is normal, I got it on my last laptop as well, but the thing is, the hiss also comes and goes. If there are no souds playing, then the hiss is gone, but right before I click something that is going to play a sound, like a song, for example, the hiss comes back, but if I pause the song, the hiss remains for a few seconds before going away and being completely silent again. Perhaps I received a bad audio card? I also have an issue where my screen will sometimes quickly flash pure white or some distorted image of whats being displayed. I have only had this issue while playing this online game called League of Legends. I have also installed both the relavant AMD and Intel VGA drivers from Lenovo and my laptop is completely up to date. Any help is apprecitated. I really like the laptop, but these issues are annoying and are making me wonder if I have received a defective unit. Thanks!

Well, I seem to have found a solution myself. Posting it here in case someone comes across the same issue. Instead of downloading the Realtek audio driver from Lenovo's website, I downloaded the appopriate one from Realtek's website. Here: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false I believe the audio driver that comes preinstalled is the same as the one on Lenovo's website and I don't think it's for a Windows 8.1 but is instead an old driver for 64 bit Vista. Also, for the screen flashing problem that I was encountering while playing League of Legends, I believe I've also found a solution. Instead of downloading the AMD driver from Lenovo's website, I also recommend going straight to AMD's website and downloading the appropriate driver there. I tried using their auto-detect utility but the issue persisted. I went to AMD's website again and this time manually searched for a driver and came across a beta driver and so far so good.

Mac min 2012 screen flashing problem ?

Hello
I've Macbook pro min 2012 has 16GB ram and cpu 2.9 Core i 7 Intel vga only
from 3 months ago the laptop has died i went to apple company they fixed it by apple care , they've changed the mother board becouse its was dead .
from few days ago I've installed Mac os x Mavreick and updated it throw mac store
my problem is some times the screen start flashing when i touch the mouse or any keydown I've attached a picutre in my thread of the problem
what is that ??? is my laptop going down again ? any help plz ?
and when i restart my laptop everything become fine

You can try that with the RAM. If it's something you upgraded yourself that's a definite possibility. It's less likely to be the problem if your machine came with the 16GB originally, though still possible.
GPU is graphics processing unit.

Flash Problems - Help Going Nuts!

Hi all,
I have a brand new MacBook Pro (13in) with all the latest patches for Mac OS, Safari and Flash etc etc... Unfortunately I do not seem to be able to get even a simple internet video to work, for instance even a small video on YouTube cannot run without constant stops and starts. How on earth do I get internet video to work properly, has anyone got any ideas as this new machine seems worse at viewing internet based video than my old Windows based Sony Vaio which I used in the 90's !!!! I cannot believe that a machine with 4GB of RAM and a decent fast processor cannot even be used to watch YouTube !!!!
I have tried everything I can think of, I have reinstalled my Flash player, reinstalled Safari, repaired permissions on my HD, reset PRAM etc etc until I have lost all patience. Nothing seems to work. I have this same problem on any browser I try and use. To prove this I have tried, Safari, Chrome, FireFox and none of them seems able to play video off the internet without constant stopping and starting, it makes the whole idea of multimedia a complete waste of time as it's worse than pulling teeth.... It' driving my NUTS!!!! ARRRRRR...
Can anyone suggest how I can restore my sanity and get internet video to work on this new wonder machine. I'm a website developer and have a client who just happens to use a LOT of video on his new site.... Trying to develop for this client on my Mac has turned into a NIGHTMARE. I'm even thinking the unthinkable and considering trying a Windows based PC as at the moment I can't seem to make any headway.:-(
Any help GREATLY appreciated.

*brand new MacBook Pro*, yet your profile info shows that you're running Tiger! If this is going on using wifi, then please state and tell us what happens when you connect directly to the internet. If nothing seems to fix your issue, take it back to whence it came and let them deal with it.

Safari 5 screen layout problem: help

Suddenly safari 5.0.3 showed many pages (incl. apple.com) in a strange layout. All frames below the other and messed up fonts. The page becomes unreadable.
I reinstalled Safari 4.0.3 form my original Mac DVD (Snow Leopard) and the problem is gone.
Updating safari to 5.0.3 (downloaded from internet) brings the same problem back.
My other macbook and imac do not have this problem. Safari 5.0.3 runs perfectly fine on those.
Any ideas, or am I suddenly stuck with the previous version of safari on my macbook pro?

Thank you all for your replies. I have tried all your methods:
Checking the fontbook for duplicates and resolving this (found duplicates and resolved those).
Booting in safe mode and rebooting normally again.
Undoing the fontbook (removing the com.apple.fontbook.plist).
And I even resorted to reinstalling (with the help of Pacifist) the fonts from my OSX DVD.
The result is that now I only have one series of conflict left in my fontbook: Helvetica Neue of which I now have both a dfont and a ttf version (I have the latest OS X version 10.6.6) and I don't know which to remove.
The result for Safari 5 is however still the same. Firefox has no problems, Safari 4 series also not (when I revert to this using the original DVD for installation). Only Safari Version 5.0.3 (6533.19.4) has the problem.
Do you have anymore ideas? I like Safari better than Firefox and I was actually quite happy with the latest version until the sudden problem (cause unknown) happened. I hope I can solve it somehow.

Major adobe flash problem, help?

I was making a sprite movie, it was all going so smoothly until I hit scene 5 and that's when flash wouldn't play my movie or export it without crashing the program. It won't even preview or test the movie either, the movie doesn't play at all. what could be the problem?

Hey damien555,
Thanks for the question, I understand how frustrating this may be. It sounds like the update process may have been interrupted, and to resolve the issue, we’ll need to restore your device in recovery mode with iTunes:

Flash problem persists after 6 months...does this new information help?

Hi All!
I posted my problem almost 6 months ago, (I'll paste some of the info below to bring you up to date), but I STILL can't access only FOUR sites because I get a "Plugin file is missing" error, (after my previous post I found 2 other sites). I've been trying to solve this problem off & on, but I got more dedicated the other day because I'll be needing access to these sites very soon. I found some new information today that I hope will solve this awful problem; however, since I'm not very technically inclined I know I have to ask a "Flash Expert", so here goes....
I run Windows 8 & I use Mozilla exclusively. I updated Flash the other day to version 15.0.0.152 & I wanted to make sure the plugins had been updated, so I opened the "Flash Player Settings Manager" & under the "Advanced" tab it lists:
                                        NPAPI Plugin Version 15.0.0.152
                                        PPAPI Plugin Version Not installed
Is it significant that the PPAPI Plugin is "Not installed", or does Mozilla only require the NPAPI plugin?
My second question regards the installation of Flash. I know that when a program is problematic, it sometimes helps to uninstall & reinstall it...I recently had a game that went nuts & that's the procedure I had to do. Also, someone on Mozilla's forum said they were having a Flash issue & they went to your site & downloaded the .exe AND the .msi Installers from the Distribution Page, then manually installed them & their problem was resolved. Would this help me resolve MY Flash problem? If you think it's worth a try, do I have to uninstall Flash first?
Well, that's all the new info I have. I have to figure this out before December because that's when the nest-cam comes back on...I really have to get this problem fixed! I'll paste my previous post below, but I hope the uninstall/reinstall method will be the answer!
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best Regards,
DogPal
Here's my previous post:
Flash 13.0.0.214 does NOT work on some sites, but works fine on all others in Using Flash Player
Hi!
I watch several wildlife nest-cams every day running Windows 8 using Firefox 29.0.1, but yesterday morning, (after I'd already watched the 6 cams I view every day), I started getting a solid, black screen with, "Error loading plugin: Plugin file not found", on TWO of these sites.
My attempts to resolve the problem were:
1. Checked all the other web-cam sites I view daily, and there's only a problem on 2 of them.
2. Went to You Tube, Facebook & other similar sites and I can view streaming media.
3. Refreshed pages-when that didn't help, I closed & reopened Firefox & still 2 sites with "plugin loading error"
4. Completely shut-down my laptop & rebooted.
5. Did "System Restore" to earlier in the day when ALL web-cam sites were working.
6. Went to Adobe Flash site & verified that I had the most current version...I do, & I saw the animations on Flash site.
7. Verified my Flash Plugins in Firefox...AGAIN...they're all activated & up-to-date
8. Checked & re-checked ALL the web-cam sites I view every day, (for, at least the 10th time), and the
     same 2 sites are still showing the "Error loading plugin: Plugin file not found" on a black screen. Even
     though the video isn't seen the "chat" area is functioning, (I don't know if that's important, but I
     thought I should mention it).
9. I posted the issue on Firefox's Forum but no one has an answer since Flash works everywhere except
     for 2 sites.
I've tried everything I can think of to troubleshoot this, but as you can see, I've had no success in solving this "mystery".
As for the 2 sites I can't view, they are:
                                    http://www.pixcontroller.com/eagles/    And
                                    http://www.westmorelandconservancy.org/BlueBirdWebcam-1.htm
I've been watching these sites for MONTHS, so why I can't view them all of a sudden, well, I'm clueless, (I guess you already figured that out...ha ha ha). I was watching the 2 sites listed above early yesterday morning, then when I looked at one of the other cams I view and came back to these 2 sites, I got the "error message".
I hope you have a solution for me, as I'm desperate! I'm WAY behind in my documentation for these 2 sites, so hopefully you'll have an easy answer. If it's a technical thing, please use LOTS of details, as I'm not very technically inclined.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best Regards,
DogPal
P.S. I just checked on another site that offers many different wildlife cams, & I CAN view the "Pittsburgh Bald Eagles" if I go through: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/pittsburgh-bald-eagles    I'm sure this means something, but since I don't understand this technical stuff I don't know what that is! (I told you I'm clueless!)

I definitely see a problem with the pixcontroller/eagles site on Windows 8.1. It works fine for me in the same version of Firefox on Windows 7. It's unclear to me whether it's a Firefox or a Flash Player issue, but I'm happy to look into it further and get some bugs filed.
As a temporary workaround, both sites work fine with Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

Please help as this is my first mac got it just for few months and i love it
Thanx

Hi, Gary. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It sounds like you may be having logic board problems. Enough Dual USB G3 iBooks suffered from the logic board problem that Apple began the iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program in January of 2004. Do the symptoms look familiar? After leaving it sit overnight, does squeezing the case to the left of the trackpad allow you to start up and work for a bit as long as you keep the pressure on it there? If so, you may want to consider trying the shim fix suggested by John Sawyer in the Apple Discussions iBook G3 (Dual USB) Displays Forum:
[Y]ou can often fix this yourself by removing the iBook's bottom housing, and placing a shim of any sort, about 1mm to 1.5mm thick, onto the raised square on the bottom shield. I use a Scotch mounting square--you can get them in hardware stores and many grocery stores. When you reinstall the bottom case, it will press against this shim, which will press against the graphics chip, and may allow the chip to come into better contact with the logic board.
John Sawyer
CJS Macintosh Repair
Instructions for removing the lower case:
iFixit.com
If the shim fix doesn't work (or you're leery of trying it), DT&T Services in Fremont, California offers the cheapest repair I've found. They have a six-month warranty on the repair.
Once you get it fixed, try never to pick it up by the left front corner alone. The theory is that picking it up by the left front corner alone can contribute to logic board failure when the case flexes, causing the graphics chip to come loose from the logic board. If you're picking it up in your left hand (as I often do mine), pick it up in the center under the trackpad.
Good luck.
Please note: As a G3 iBook is quite old at this point, if you are faced with paying a repair bill on it, it may be wiser to put that money toward a new (or used) MacBook. They are quite a spectacular upgrade from the iBook G3. Again, good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Screen Flashes when opening lid after locked - T410s w/discrete -- Video of problem inside

My computer is set to password lock (in Windows 7) when I close the lid, but remain powered on. When I open the lid of the computer, the screen flashes around 10 times before it gives me the login screen.
My bios is updated, my graphics are turned to 'high performance' ... always on - when plugged in with A/C adapter.
Anyone know what the problem might be?

@paradiddle,
If it is possible, could you try removing the password so when the system wakes up from sleep, see if the screen flashes.
Also when your display is "out" to the TV via HDMI, try pressing Fn + F7 and see if you are able to switch it back to laptop view without rebooting. You could also change this via Display Properties.

I need help with Windows 10 Technical Preview. No sound. Korean files. Screen Flashes

I installed Windows 10 Technical Preview Yesterday. Took TEN hours!
Now, I have NO SOUND. There are Korean files on my desktop. My screen flashes from blue to my desktop. It is SLOW.
I had Windows 8 before this. I bought this laptop brand new from a store in January of this year.
Can someone help me either fix the issues or help me get back to Windows 8?

it came with windows 8.1 then, the windows 10 preview is still kinda early in the curve so it may have a few problems with your machine
probably be best to wait till the summer when its ready

- Let the battery fully drain. The charge for an hour and see what happens, Try resetting too:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Connct to computer and restore if it shows in iTunes.
- You can try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then trying to restore. See:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Also see:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
Frequenly the white scree is due to a hardware problem.

Hello ,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Please follow the steps below to troubleshoot having no display on the external display.
No video or no signal, image distortion, "snow," or flickering
Check connections
When using an external display be sure to check the following:
If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
Monitor and Display Adapter Table
About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
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.
