Screen has a red hue (iPad1)

Hello.
I've got a noticable red hue on the screen of my iPad1. It is clearly visible (even more when there's another ipad side by side) and it drives me mad.
Is this a well known issue and am I eligible for an exchange? I saw a few people reporting a red hue months ago and they all had their iPad exchanged in Apple Stores.
Unfortunatly, there are no official Apple Stores in Belgium, so I may have to send it to the repair service for days before getting an answer.

  • My iPad screen has a red tint

    My iPad screen has a red tint, anything I can do to fix this?

    I'm not the greatest when it comes to taking care of my iPad, that being said. I've dropped it a few times. I've had this issue, it can be easily fixed by holding down the home button and power button for at least 30sec. If this doesn't work then repeat. This has worked for me in the past and my iPad works just fine. By doing this your resetting the LCD. Hope this helps!

  • My screen has a red tinge to it, Is it going dead?

    My screen has a red tinge to it. I it going dead?

    Usually an indicator of impending hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Satellite L15 the screen has a red/pink tint

    When i power on my toshiba Satellite L15 the screen has a red/pink tint and then about 2 min later it is fine untill the next time i power on the computer is this the screen it self or the inverter?

    Hi
    Its not easy to say if its screen or FL inverter issue.
    FL inverter controls the screen backlight and usually if the FL inverter start malfunctions, then you will see pictures on the screen like behind a thick fog.
    So possibly its screen issue but this is just an assumption.
    However, FL inverter is not very expensive but the notebook screen is one of the expensive notebook parts so Im not sure if its worth to replace the screen and to pay 200-300 Euros for the fix

  • Screen has a pink hue?

    Basics first. iMac G4 running OS 10.3.9
    Asking this for my dad so hopefully passing on right info.
    He had shut down the computer everything running fine. On reboot everything starts up fine, no problems except that the screen now has a pink hue to it. Icons, text, background, everything. It is usable but hard on the eyes. I gave him what I thought was the command to zap the video ram but it didn't work. Suggestions?

  • My screen has a red mark on it. Are the pixels damaged

    My iPad mini has a red mark on the screen. Are the pixels damaged ?

    No one here can answer that question. Take it in for diagnosis by a technician.

  • My IPad 2 screen has gone red. Thoughts on what might be causing the problem?

    The screen on my IPad2 has gone to red. I still am able to use it but the colors are all off. I have heard it might be the graphic card, but before I take it back to the Apple store I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and how you resolved it? 

    It probably needs to be replaced.
    You can try restoring it. If that doesn't do it, take it to a Genius.

  • My screen has a red line and flickers when on for very long.  What can I do?

    A thin red (sometimes blue) line appears horizontally half way up my screen.  When left on, the screen begins to flicker.  At that point I turn it off for fear that it will do more damage.  I have completely shut down and synced.  The problem is still there.  What can I do, short of sending it in for repairs?
    Is this a common problem?  Can it be fixed easily?  If it has happened to you, what did you do and how long did repairs take.
    BTW, this is an 8 GB 4th generation iPod Touch, purchased new through Apple last spring.

    To rule out a software problem try one at a time in order:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes on the computer
    - Restore the iPod to factoery defaults/new iPod
    If still problem, either make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store or call AppleCare (1-800-MY-APPLE) for warranty service.

  • Screen has blue/red squares

    Hello, when I use Mozilla blue/red squares appear on the screen. They are not always present. See the attached screenshot. Thank you for your help.

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

  • Purchased new iPad 4th generation, screen has warm yellowish hue to it.

    I just received my brand new iPad 4th generation, when I compare the screen to my current 3rd generation there is a def yellowish warm tint to the new ipads screen.
    I probably wouldn't even have noticed it if I did have them both side by side for comparison.
    I have included a couple of photos for you guys to see!
    You can tell me which one you think looks 'wrong'
    My question is basically will the screen tint change gradually over time???
    Or should i swap it for a new one?
    The tint is over the entire screen.
    Many thanks...

    Any ideas?

    Hey Julesbules,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with the display on your MacBook Pro. The following resource may provide a solution:

    While you should definitely give all of the troubleshooting steps a whirl, definitely make sure to follow the steps in this section:
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.

  • I have a distinct red hue on my ipad 2...  it seems to be red where it should be black.

    I woke up this morning and my iPad 2 now has a red hue.  It seems that everywhere that it should be black on the screen, it's red, but the overall contrast is jacked as well.  Any ideas what may have caused this or if it is covered for an exchange with Apple?

    Do you use iCloud?  If so, go to http://www.icloud.com and log in.
    Then open the Calendars app from there, and click the cogwheel in the upper right.  Go to Preferences > Advanced and turn off "Enable Time Zone Support".
    Hopefully that will end your tie to the time zone support for your reminders.

  • HP 6940 suddenly printing with lines and red hue

    Hello,
    I was printing photos tonight with my 6940 and suddenly the photos started coming out with the first half (left sides) printed correctly, and the right half has a red hue and striated lines.  I thought the black cartridge might be out, so I replaced it and the photos are coming out the same.  I've just replaced the color cartridge a few weeks ago, so it is not empty.  Any suggestions?
    I tried printing 5 photos, and all came out the same way - left side is printed correctly, right side is ruined.
    Right-click here and choose "Save As" to download a high res photo of the photos as they are coming out of the printer.

    Hi CrazySaguaro,
    It appears as if your colour cartridge is out of ink. If this is the case you should be able to see this in your ink gauge through the driver tool box.
    Here is steps how to check this

    Please let me know what you find out.

  • My screen is bickering red instead of black. It is something to do with the image becuase it comes up as red bickerings. Can you please help me?

    Everytime i use my ipad, it has a red colour that i cant fix becuase i dont know what it is, please help me.

    This issue has been around for a while, if it is what I think it is. If your iPad screen has a red background, users have been dealing with it and "fixing" it by tapping/slapping the iPad on the back of the device.
    Look at this ongoing discussion about this issue,
