Screen Freeze With Light Blue Tint

Hi,
I bought a refurbished 15" MacBook Pro from the Apple Store last August (2011 model, I think, running Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.3) and it's been fine up until the past week. Twice now, when the computer has been asleep and I've woken it up, the screen has frozen and has a slightly bleached out and bluish appearance and, unable to see the cursor when I move my finger on the trackpad, I've had to reboot using the power button. This seems to fix it, but I'm worried that it might indicate an ongoing or more serious problem.
Just to clarify, what I see is not a blank, pale blue screen, but the screen as it looked just before the computer went to sleep (background picture, any windows I had open), with a bleached-out, bluish appearance.
I can rule out accidental damage (it hasn't been dropped or had anything spilled on it, etc) but it has coincided with a problem I had with the MagSafe Power Supply. While I was using the computer last week with the supply plugged in, I looked down to notice the insulating layer next to the metal L-connector had split, exposing the wires, some of which had frayed. I switched off and disconnected the supply immediately, but can't say for sure how long the damaged supply was in use before I noticed the problem with it. Neither can I say for sure that the two issues are related, but this bleached-out blue screen problem first arose that day, although the second time it happened (this morning) I was using the replacement power supply which is intact.
Has anyone else experienced this? Luckily, my computer is still within warranty, so I'll call the helpline or visit a Genius Bar, but any other advice would be very much appreciated.

It's possible that it has affected to your computer, but it has nothing to do with the blue tint. Respecting to this problem, the first thing I recommend you is to reinstall OS X, holding Command and R keys while your computer is starting, so all the OS X files will be reinstalled and it should fix the problem if it's software related.
If it doesn't work, take the computer to the Apple Store because it could be a hardware issue. I have seen problems with some computers turning them on after sleep, but the blue tint isn't as normal as this problem

  • IMac G5 PowerPC boots up and freezes at light-blue screen

    PowerPC G5 20" iMac, 2.0GHz, +260 GB harddrive, 2 GB of DDR SDRAM
    Leopard OS 10.5.6
    Computer starts up and freezes at light-blue screen. Mouse still moves, bu no keyboard commands work. Only holding the power button will shut down the computer.
    Tried the following:
    - Able to boot into Safe-mode only.
    - Ran OS Disk Utility to repair permissions and also MacTuneUp 3.6.0, and no change
    - Tried changing start-up to boot from OS 10.5.6 DVD and still freezes with light-blue screen. Safe-mode allowed me to run Disk Utility but no difference.
    - If I leave the frozen light-blue screen, eventually the iMac power-saving mode darkens the screen, until I move the mouse (then light-blue again and still frozen).
    - I left my iPhone connected to the iMac, and when starting up the computer the iPhone started charging. When the light blue screen froze the iPhone stopped charging.
    - tried starting computer with Options + Command keys
    - tried + Options-Command-P-R untill you hear two beeps: Reset NVRAM (restart 3x)
    - tried Resetting the SMU > Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord. > Wait 10 seconds.> Plug in the power cord while simultaneously pressing and holding the power button on the back of the computer. > Let go of the power button. > Press the power button once more to start up your iMac.
    Questions:
    > When booting from OS 10.5.6 DVD, Should I run Time Machine Restore system from Backup?
    > I can work fine in Safe-mode all day, but limited resources. Is this a software or hardware issue?

    Based on what you have you tried I would guess it is hardware problem.
    First iMac's without camera and with GeForce FX 5200 graphics card are known of having capacitor failures which can cause the machine either to become unstable in different situations or fail to boot up at all. I have repaired many of them and changing capacitors brought completedly dead iMac (no power, no nothing) up to life so capacitors mean a lot.
    Second and third it's mainly the graphics card which fails, causing the machine to fail to boot, become unstable or boot with artifact patterns in picture.
    There has also been power supply issues and Apple did issue a recall back then, I think you can still find article about it and check if your machine has serial number which fits to that recall problem. This way you could check if you should suspect power supply going bad.
    Capacitor problem is usually easy to identify (open up the case and look if those can-like things are bulging or swollen) and quite easy to repair if you have bit experience in computers and soldering, iFixit.com provides great disassembly instructions. Graphics card problem is harder to identify because in that case it is the solder which breaks under the graphic chip so you cannot actually see the defect. It is also harder to repair atleast if you want the machine to work long time after that repair. Basically you would need to heat the GPU enough to reflow solder connections.
    Because the machine can boot into safe mode I'm suspecting that you have some of these issues I described, safe mode does not utilize hardware at full power and disable full graphics acceleration for example.

  • Frequent screen freezes with os 10.8.3

    I am experiencing frequent screen freezes with OS 10.8.3 on my 27" iMac, Late 2009. Sometimes while using Safari, sometimes while using Photoshop CS5.1, Sketchup 8, or other software. Rarely does it coincide with a processor intensive operation. I have not had this problem since my old white G5 iMac. Then it was aleading indicator that the CPU or power supply needed replacing (I went through 5 processors and 6 power supplies with that machine.) I took my current iMac in to the Apple Store and had it checked out. Hardware checked out fine, but the freezes are becoming more frequent. Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • I have ipad 2. Safari stopped working. Screen appears with light gray cover. Some websites show errors when debug is on. But how actually can I debug or fix it? Thank you.

    I have ipad 2. Safari stopped working. Screen appears with light gray cover and is frozen. Some websites show errors when debug is on.
    But how actually can I debug or fix it? Thank you.

    Here are a couple suggestions:
    1.  Go into Settings > Safari and Clear Cookies Clear Cache
    2.  Fully close Safari:  from your home screen, double tap your home button and the most recently used Apps will show up.  Hold your finger on the Safari App until all Apps start jiggling.  You'll see a minus sign on the upper left side of Safari.  Touch the minus and Safari will fully close.  Touch your home button again to stop apps from jiggline, then touch your home button again to return to your home page.
    3.  Reboot your iPad:  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart, but no data or settings will be lost.
    After iPad comes back up, try Safari again, and you should be good to go.

  • My i860 canon printer is suddenly printing color pictures with light blue and darker blue horizontal

    My i860 canon printer is suddenly printing color pictures with light blue and darker blue horizontal lines.  I have changed the cyan blue cartridge and the problem still exists.  Does anyone know what the problem is?  Thanks.

    Hi CSM,
    We can perform a print head cleaning and alignment on the printer to try and resolve the issue.  To do this, please follow the steps below:
    PRINT HEAD CLEANING
    With the printer powered on, press and hold the <Resume/Cancel> button. 
    <1> Resume/Cancel button
    When the power lamp blinks once, release the button.
    Note:  The power lamp will blink and print head cleaning will start. The cleaning completes when the power lamp stops blinking.  (It will take about 30 seconds to a minute for the power lamp to stop blinking and remain lit solid green.)
    PRINT HEAD ALIGNMENT
    Confirm that the printer is powered on, and load Letter-sized white plain paper in the sheet feeder.  
    Note:  If paper other than Letter-sized white plain paper is loaded, print head alignment cannot be performed properly.  The automatic print head alignment must be performed from the Automatic Sheet Feeder on the top of the printer.  It cannot be performed from the cassette.
    Press and hold the <Resume/Cancel> button, and release it when the Power lamp blinks four times.  (The Power lamp will start blinking and pattern printing will start.)  
    Print head alignment will start automatically as the following pattern is printed.  
    Note:  Please wait approx. three minutes until printing is completed.
    Hope this helps!

  • Beatport problem -- screen freezes with some tracks...

    It started happening since i downloaded Flash 10 --- the
    screen freezes with a lot of tracks...when it's freezed, there's
    nothin' else i can do with that page ( at least inside beatport ).
    When i open another Beatport page, and go to the same track that
    freezed before, it happens again... this is very bad, 'cause it
    doesn't allow me to buy some excellent tracks... Does anyone know
    how to solve this ?

    As JustinC pointed out, it would be better you were running a more 'mature' OS (also CoreAudio is part of Quicktime so if you have updated QT and not the OS you could, possibly, be running an incompatible version of CoreAudio, i'm not too sure about that.)
    But considering the symptoms you mentioned, and the fact you are running very few audio tracks, I'm assuming you run a lot of MIDI.
    The symptoms you describe sound a lot like a MIDI feedback loop.
    You don't have any sort of inter-app MIDI routing enabled, do you ?
    If you do, you need to isolate the inter-app inputs from the sequencer input, or be very careful not to select tracks which are assigned to an inter-app port (or 'all' ports)
    Oh, and update the OS anyway, there is no good reason to stick with 10.3.0

  • Start Up Screen Freeze With Lines Across Screen

    The computer is the iSight version. In moving it from one room to another I shut it down properly. I had a back-up HD with Time Machine which I shut down properly. When I tried to restart it shortly after at the new location, the start up chime sounded and the Apple logo came on with the spinning wheel but the screen had light blue horizontal lines across it. The lines at first seemed squiggly but after restarting a few times, the screen seemed to be divided into vertical columns about 3/4" wide with one column having pixels colored light blue and the next column having the same coloration but the row of colored pixels was above the previous one. This arrangement alternated across the screen. I hope this is clear. After a while the spinning wheel and the screen froze and the computer would not continue with the start up.
    I reset the SMU by unplugging the power cord, etc. but this did not work. I tried restarting in safe mode-negative. I tried restarting from the original disc-negative. Initially, it sounded like the disc was working because it makes a distinctive noise when a disc is working in the drive but eventually the same initial screen came on with the wheel spinning and then freezing. I tried the current versions of Techtool Pro and Disc Warrior and neither worked. The same thing happened. The noise from the disc drive but the same screen would come on and then the spinning wheel would freeze. Initially the screen with the Apple and the spinning wheel and the lines came on quickly but after a number of times turning the computer on and off, the screen remained dark with a faint light and when the screen came up, the spinning wheel was already frozen.
    I use a flight simulator-X-Plane- a lot and some times when I leave it on, screen saver comes on and when I bring the screen back up, the first screen that came up and quickly changed had to do with X-Plane but not with what I was doing. Also, sometimes when I left it and came back there was a different screen but still part of X-Plane but not the screen I left before. I don't know if this is related to my problem or specific with X-Plane. I brought it up because this is the only thing that was different prior to this problem but may not be related. Right now, I've turned it off(obviously) and disconnected the power cord and the keyboard.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I've started taking the iSight apart. Detaching the plastic took some time and care but with only a few tears. Separated the screen. The main board is positioned such that the capacitors are on the bottom. So many connections and most of them small. Have to be careful. So many small screws. I hope I can remember where they all go when I put everything together-I hope. I'm at the point where I've turned the main board over so that the capacitors are showing. I hope I can reconnect correctly. Two capacitors have a slight bulge at the top compared to the others. Although I am not sure whether these two are part of the problem. There is another one that has no bulge but there seems to be some stuff on the top. It is not corrosion so I'm not sure whether it was manufactured that way or something is wrong with it. I finally found the battery. Just to change it is such a job. You have to disconnect a lot of stuff and turn the board over to get at it unless Apple technicians have a shortcut. Do you think the battery could cause the problems I have? Anyway, if I have the board exposed already might as well try and change the capacitors. I have not come across any video that shows how to expose the underbelly of the main board. Nor have I seen any video that shows what each part is. On the left side of the layout is an long rectangular shape covered over with black plastic. I haven't checked it out but I assume it is the power source. At the upper left there is a rectangular board with capacitors underneath but there are connections underneath that are so tightly stuffed that I couldn't turn it over but I could lift it up a little and see the heads of some capacitors and there wasn't any bulging capacitors or corrosion. There's one big capacitors under there. Much bigger then those on the mother board. Interesting observation. When I turned the screen over to expose its back most of it was frosted except for a small rectangular piece that was dark but glassy like and the glass like part lies exactly on the small rectangular board about 4X5 or 4X6. Interesting why this small section of the back of the screen should be different from the rest of the back and why it should be exactly above the smaller board. Like the previous versions of iMac, it would be so easy to be able to open the back and have all of the capacitors exposed. My next action is to contact one of the references you posted and see if I can get these three capacitors and the battery from Radio Shack or somewhere and solder the capacitors to the mother board. After all of this putting the whole thing together correctly without ending up with extra parts. One thing did break. Next to the fan in the middle there is a piece of metal attached to the back. There is a small narrow slot in this metal that another piece of bent metal seems to go into and was soldered to it and when everything is put together it seems, although I'm not sure, that this metal touches the back of the screen. It looks like I have to solder it back. I don't know what its purpose is, maybe it grounds the screen? I thought the piece of metal was something to pull in order to liftup something else. So far that is the only thing that has broken and hopefully can be easily fixed. But nothing that seems easy is easy.

  • Screen freeze with odd squares and occasional crashing

    I've had my new IMac 27" (2.66 Ghz i5) for a couple of weeks and it's crashed more times than Windows Vista ever did (about 7 times so far). Every now and again, the screen freezes (sound keeps going) and strange squares appear. The only solution is to hard reboot using the on/off switch.
    Today it had trouble starting up again, requiring 2 or 3 goes before coming back to life.

  • Screen freezes with LOGIC pro 7 & OSX 3.0.any ideas?

    Hi
    I have a G5 with dual processors and 1.5 ram/150gb HD. I am running Logic pro 7 on the original OSX 3.0 with a Motu 828mk2 firewire interface.
    The screen freezes a lot (sometimes with audio still running) and the only way is to turn it off and reboot.
    I am not working with lots of audio or plug ins (maybe one or two tracks at most).
    I wondered whether its the OS? maybe i need Tiger?

    Here's a response from Intego...
    "Hello,
    You will want to add your Time Machine drive to VirusBarrier X5's Trusted Zone so that the items are not scanned as Time Machine reads and copies to that directory.
    You can either do this in VirusBarrier X5's Preferences, under the "Scanner" section.
    Or you can add it using the contextual menu by holding down the Control key and clicking on the Time Machine backup volume. A pop-up menu will appear, in the "More" submenu is a submenu for "VirusBarrier X5" with a choice of "Add to Trusted Zone". Choosing this will add the item to VirusBarrier's Trusted Zone and keep it from being scanned by the background scanner.
    Thank you for choosing Intego."

  • White screen, battery with a blue thunder bolt

    Hi, I cannot power on my berry. I keep getting a white screen with a battery with a blue thunder bolt through it. Fixes I have tried: -plugging it in to charge through the wall, computer and car, no difference -bought a new battery, no difference It will not power on so I can even reload the OS or anything. Please help and restore faith in your company.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
    With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
    Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    Remove the battery
    Wait 15 minutes
    Insert the battery
    Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
    It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
    Obtain a known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
    Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
    The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.
    Lastly, though:
