Screen is messed up

Anyone have any thoughts or things to try? All I have is a white screen, basically the white background. My laptop functions perfectly fine with inverter on a monitor or tv. This is how I am typing this now. I could only think perhaps a connection inside some how worked its' self free.
All coments are greatly aprrecaited
Thanks,

There is no apple logo on the screen. It is completely white the whole time I am on it. I am currently running it on an external monitor. However the screen is completely white. I am thinking the actual screen is shot since everything else works fine on a monitor or tv. Or is it possible some how a cable inside the comp came loose?
Thanks
Richard

Nano charging but not being detected by computer and my screen is messed up

i have a pc with windows xp. i put in my ipod that i had since december and it charges but the computer and itunes does not detect it. in addition my screen is messed up in the middle from left to right. words does not appear in that spot. i did all of the restart and restore stuff. nothing works. and i cannot get to the workers to chat with.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If you have restored, the computer is recognizing it, right?
Try which ever one of these applies...
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes for Windows
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes

The screen is messed up, how do I get it repaired?

I have the 60BG Video IPod, and I believe it needs repairs... A small while back, I was raking leaves while listening to music on it. I just turned it off in my pocket, so I didn't notice anything. Sometime during the next day, when I was going to watch a video, I noticed the screen is messed up. It just looks like someone burned a hole in the display, so nothing comes in correctly. The sound still works, just need to find my way to my sounds blindly... What I think I need to do is get Apple, or whomever, to reaplce the screen, but how do I go about doing so? Where on this site do I go, and what procedures do I go through to do this? I really doubt it's something covered in the warrenty, and I don't really care, I just want to be able to sent it in to get repaired... I want it back to being able to show videos and pictures, instead of it being a 60GB IPod Shuffle...

Two options. You can arrange online service from Apple here.
Service request.
Or you can try one of the many 3rd party repair sites such as http://www.ipodresq.com/

Help! My screen is messed up...

I was fooling around with Mac's displays and Safari's appearance, now my computer screen is messed up. Like right now, this page is only half of the screen size. How do I fix this? Would you please explain in detail what should I choose in order to have the full screen?

Can you access a Finder window to get to your preferences folder in your user Library? If so, drag the preferences folder to the desktop and reboot.

Well that is very vague.
What does "messed up" mean?
Shattered?

I dropped something on my mac and now the screen is messed up. Can this be fixed?

I am a performer and I had a mic on a mic stand in my room while I was practicing. I accidentally moved the wrong way and knocked my mic off of my stand onto my macbook pro and now the screen is messed. I don't really know a lot about computers so I was wondering, if I take my macbook to the apple store will they be able to fix it? Also, If they can fix it, any idea how much it would cost. Thanks!

The repair will be a replacement. It is an expensive repair well into the hundreds of dollars.
Ciao.

The colors of my mac book screen are messed up

This has been happening on and off for awhile now, but the colors of my screen are messed up. My screen currently looks like the picture attached, everything is coated in a weird dark blue color. The only way I can revert the colors back to normal is by applying small pressure to the screen.
Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Since the pressure to the screen trick works, that says the internal cable is getting frayed by the hinge. That resistance on the hinge is there deliberately so you don't push it back too far. If you do, you can damage the cable. If the machine was opened after market, the person closing it back up may have not properly tightened the hinge joints, thus defeating the built-in resistance making you end up fraying the cables anyway. Dropping or bumping against the hinge has the same effect if there is enough force exerted. Hopefully none of the above has happened, in which case you may have a case for AppleCare to look at.
Good luck!

Screen looks messed up

Hey,
I just bought an ipod touch 32 GB first generation from somebody off of ebay used. The screen is messed up. Blotches of light and dark areas spread across the screen. It almost looks like a cloud background behind everything. It's much more noticeable when the backlight is on and when I'm in an app that has a white background. It is almost invisible in the black home screen, but you could still see a little light spilling out at the top of the screen. Please see pictures below. Did anybody ever see something like this before? Is it going to cause problems? Can it be fixed? The unit works great otherwise; however, the water damage sticker in the headphone jack has been activated.

How likely does it seem that it is water damage that messed up the screen? Do you think there is actually water in there?
It wasn't listed as water damaged. I already contacted the ebay seller and he offered a 50% refund, but since it works fine, I said I would be happy with less and took $75 off of the original $190 I paid. Bad choice?
I plan on reselling this because I wanted the 2nd generation (made a mistake when bidding). Do you think I could sell it for $115? I see ones on ebay go for $70-$80 that won't even turn on.

Changed hard drive, now screen is messed up

I recently changed out the hard drive on my 15" 2007 Macbook Pro from the factory 5400 RPM, 160GB drive to a Hitachi 7200 RPM, 500GB drive. I carefully followed instructions online on how to open the laptop up, remove and replace the hard drive. When I went to boot up the laptop after the new hard drive was in (with the original OS 10.4 boot disc that came with the computer in the DVD drive) it seemed to load fine at first. I was on the grey load screen for a while, and when it moved to the "Choose your language" screen that appears the first time you turn on your Mac, the screen was a garbled mess. The best way I can describe it is that it looks like an old TV with bad reception from rabbit ear antennae. There are diagonal, blocky black lines across the screen. I can move the mouse cursor fine, and can see that clearly, and if I press enter, it's obvious the computer is working and moves on to the next screen, but it's all behind a garbled mess. Technical support wasn't much help, and only suggested I take it into Mac, but I know they'll charge me to fix it. Any ideas?

Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys.

Dual screen background messed up after waking from sleep

Ok, so i've searched for a while and cannot find an answer so I must ask it on my own. I currently have a dual monitor setup, one in front of me and another one off to the right, and one cool background image that spans both screens. The problem is, when
I wake my computer up from a sleep, the background image is messed up and it only shows the left half of the image on both screens. This can be remedied by re-selecting the primary screen and secondary screen under the control panel, but is a pain in the butt
to have to do every time, and is definitely something that shouldn't have to be done. This happens with both downloaded images and default backgrounds that came with windows. I am running windows 8.1 pro, and I need help.
Any advice is welcome,
Thanks

Hi,
We need to make a troubleshooting with this problem, you can try to use Performance Monitor to capture the trace during system came into sleep and resume from sleep.
At Performance scenario option, choose Standby/Resume.
You can refer to the content of the link below for more details about troubleshooting Windows Performance issue by using WPT.

Screen is messed up..help please

I have the new video ipod and the screen is all messed up. The top of the screen is completely black and at the bottom you can slightly see the blue lines from the menu. It still plays the music though. It almost looks as if the screen is cracked but it isnt...well at least i dont think. Im getting very frustrated so if someone could tell me if i can fix it or if i should return it (does it have a warranty???) that would be great.

Just take the iPod to your local Apple Store and they should be able to fix it for free

My iPhone 4 screen is MESSED up, Help me?

Ok I just got my iPhone 4 (16GB locked to at&t), i just cant believe how slick and perfectly designed this thin little device is, and the quality of the screen is as they say it, it smokes my 3GS out of the water!
So after I activated it and shut it off and on the screen now looks like rainbow colors..
It has mostly red and green and blue all over it.. But it worked perfectly fine before when I activated it..
I took a screenshot to see if you could see it but it just looks normal when you see it on your computer.. Whats wrong with it?
I live like 2 hourd away from the nearest apple store, what the **** do I do???
BTW: If you have ever taken a HUGE magnet and placed it on or beside a tv for a while, thats what it looks like. The colors on the screen are all messed up and deformed or something.

ola,
i do not own an iphone 4 BUT what i have read on a simliar issues like yours it's possible that after a few days of usage the screen distortion/discolouration might clear up, due to a bonding agent being used that needs to cure (dry/evaporate)
i'd give it another day or so and if it does not clear way, return your phone
hopefully your phone is ok as far as the proximity sensor and reception issues are concerned!
good luck- francois

Just bought a laptop, screen is messed up

I just bought an Asus laptop a little over a week ago, and the screen is suddenly messing up. It was fine, I fell asleep, I woke up, and now there is this weird shadowing at the top and the screen is flickering. Should I just exchange it? Is it something I might've done?

Good deal. Just to cover the bases, make sure you take the receipt with you

Nokia N95-4 Screen is messed up...

Hi everyone,
My phone was working fine this morning. After changing when I opened my phone the screen was all messed up..... I can see the right top corner about a inch square nothing else show its just little pixles I see. It seems to fuctioning other wise because I tried just pressing the dial button and it calls. Someone told me try updating the firmwire but I can't connect it to my computer because I think I have to pick a option on the phone when I connect it but I can't see anything on the screen. please help!!!

Looks like a software issue..
You may wanna try the following steps :
- A restore by keying in *#7780# when on standby - This will not delete any data but will restore all the settings back to default.
If that does not help then you may wanna try doing a soft reset by keying in *#7370# when on standby - This will reformat the phone. DO NOT FORGET TO DO A BACK UP AS THIS WILL ERASE YOUR ENTIRE PHONE MEMORY.
The security code by default is 12345
If this fails as well then you may try doing the Hard reset by performing the 3 finger reset. You can do this by switching the phone on with the '3', '*' and green 'call' buttons pressed at the same time.
Mark me a KUDOS if this has helped...
