  • My acer laptop turned screen into pink and with vertical lines...what's wrong

    Hi everyone!I need your help. I bought my acer laptop 7 months ago. I was browsing online then suddenly the screen turned pink and it got some vertical lines now. I tried to removed the battery and pressed the power button for a minute but still the screen is pink when i turned it on. I've noticed the vertical lines are moving every 5 munites.  Please help...im stressed with this laptop! last month acer replaced the Hard drive because it went very slow and then now another problem arise. 

    i already tried to move or tilt the screen and even press it but still the screen is pink... Yes perhaps I need to bring this again at the service center  Thanks!

  • Screen turns pink and flickers

    Hi everyone,
    I've got a little problem:
    My screen randomly turns pinks and then starts flickering and then a few moments later it stops for a few minutes and then begins the process again.  I have no idea how it began. I have a MacBook Pro 10.6.8.
    It would be great if anyone knew how to solve this answer.
    With regards,
    Jean-Pierre

  • IPad's screen turned pink and flashing

    All of a sudden, my iPad's screen turned pink. Tried resetting but did not help. The screen is now red/pink-ish and flashing. I, of course, did not drop it or anything like that.
    Is this a hardware problem? is it fixable by a user?

    I just had mine replaced and it is betterr than the original.
    Holds the 3G signal better.
    i bought one as soon as they came out, so there is probably a bit of a higher failure rate for the first models.
    You are basically getting a new one and you have a year from the purchase to extend the warranty.
    I would not give up my Ipad.
    I look at laptops now and they seems like dinosaurs.

  • After download of os 8.2 screen turned pink and blue and flickers

    After downloading os 8.2 background screen turned to pink and blue and flickers.    resetting ipad2 does not solve problem.

    Hey there Harold499,
    I understand that you are experiencing some issues with your iPad screen. I have an article for you that will help you troubleshoot this issue a little further:
    If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
    Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
    Reset your device while it's plugged in.
    If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203039
    Since you have already reset the iPad, I would recommend that you start by restoring the iPad, then proceed from there. Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • Screen turned pink and white and added a passcode by itself

    In the morning I was using my iPad 3rd generation and left it in my bag for the rest of the day then I took it out, I switched it on, and it was all purplish pink and white. In the beginning, the touchscreen worked, even though I coudn't see what I was doing. Then there were tiny stripes where i could see but they were inverted colors! Later on, it added a passcode by itself since i saw through the stripes. I tried hitting it on the back and restarting it but it wouldn't work! By the way, I use an Apple Smart cover and my friend said it could've been from the manet. PLEASE HELP!!!

  • Computer said start up disk is almost full a few days ago and now the locked files are gone or something like that. All I have is the pink and purple space screen and nothing else.

    I can't get to any of my files. All there is is the blank screen with the pink/purple space photo. The dock won't come up. There is nothing. What can I do? All my pictures from the last 5 years are on this computer. It is five years old.

    I unplugged the computer and plugged it back in. It says "Your startup disk is full. You need to make more space available on your startup disk by deleting files." How do I do this when I can't access anything?

  • Pink and Purple Horizontal lines on iMac Screen

    I set up twp new users on my iMac and also restored my daughters iPod under one of the users today. After trying to switch from user to user, teh computer started acting slow and was not responding. We tried to shut it down but it got stuck for while so we forced it to shut down by holding the on/off switch in the back. The screen popped up with this image, see attached. HELP! The white square on the right is a reflection from our window.

    Try Resetting the PRAM
    If that doesn't help, try a Safe Mode boot.
    Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
    A Safe Mode boot takes longer than a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.
    If that didn't help, restore OS X. Restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access the built in utilities in  OS X Recovery

  • Screen with folder and "?" on startup. No install disks.

    Saturday I dropped my Macbook Pro 8,1 and afterwards it was working completed fine. A day later I was working on PowerPoint and it froze (which isn't very unusual) so I re-started it. After re-starting I got a blank screen with a folder and a "?" From my understanding I need my install disk which unfortunately is a 3 hour drive from me at the moment.
    The one thing that I do have is my external hard-drive that I've used Time Machine on before to back-up my Macbook. Unfortunately I hadn't backed up my latop very recently and I have important files on my Macbook that aren't on my external hard drive, so I don't want to restore my Macbook back to whatever was on the hardrive. So my questions are:
    Is the any way the hardrive can be used in place of the install disk? If not, can I buy and download install disk online and but on flash drive?
    Will fixing my problem result in all the files on my Macbook being lost?
    Note: when I turn on my macbook using the hardrive I can get into disk utilities. However, when going into "First Aid", I am unable to select "Repair Disk"

    If it had 10.6 from the factory, it's a Early 20011 13", and yes you need the 10.6.7 gray/black machine specific install disks (call Apple if they are defective), the 10.6.3 white ones from Apple online retail store won't work.
    If it had 10.7 from the factory, it's a Late 2011 13", there is no disks, Internet Recovery and Recovery HD (on a bootable partition)
    After re-starting I got a blank screen with a folder and a "?"
    Firmware doesn't know where the boot volume is, may be a easy fix.
    Folder with question mark issue
    From my understanding I need my install disk which unfortunately is a 3 hour drive from me at the moment.
    If disks came in the box, then it's a Early 2011 with Snow Leopard, unless you upgraded to 10.7 or later, which you use Recovery HD or Internet Recovery instead, unless your going to restore the machine back to Snow Leopard. (many do)
    The one thing that I do have is my external hard-drive that I've used Time Machine on before to back-up my Macbook. Unfortunately I hadn't backed up my latop very recently...
    If you haven't backed up TM since dropping the machine, that's a good thing because it sounds like the boot hard drive is corrupted and may not restore properly or at all if the TM drive copied that junk over.
    I have important files on my Macbook that aren't on my external hard drive, so I don't want to restore my Macbook back to whatever was on the hardrive.
    First try the easy mehod by holding the option/alt key down at boot time and seeing if you can boot OS X, then head to System Preferences > Startup Disk and set it again, this will tell the firmware.
    Once your in, backup all your users files to a external drive, (not TimeMachine) and disconnect. You might have to do it in small bunches because there could be damage to the platters were the heads struck when you dropped it.
    If you can't boot OS X, then use this method
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    If you can't even do that as the machine is broken
    My computer is not working, is my personal data lost?

    Yes if you don't do data recovery first or the drive is actually mechanically dead.
    Fixing your problem may be easy, doing a zero bit erase on the entire Macintosh HD partition or drive (for 10.6) may map off the bad/damaged sectors and thus you can keep using the machine.
    You can install 10.6/10.7 and then restore from TimeMachine (if not defective) and return the copies of your recovered files from the external drive.
    Note: when I turn on my macbook using the hardrive I can get into disk utilities. However, when going into "First Aid", I am unable to select "Repair Disk"
    To repair disk you need to do so while c or option/alt key booted from the 10.6 disk or the 10.7/10.8 Recovery HD partition or via Internet Recovery, that's why it's grayed out.
    Don't do this until you have recovered your files first, as you don't want Disk Utility knowing the drive has problems and then lock you out on the next reboot.
    Don't do Safe Mode either yet as this forces a fsck drive check and also lock you out from a easy recovery of your files.
    Once you've got your files off the machine to a external storage drive (don't trust TimeMachine) then you can do whatever.

  • HP Pavilion - screen turning pink and pixellated

    I purchased my comptuer a couple of weeks ago.  Once in a while the computer will turn pinkish and will become very pixellated.  It was worse when I first got it, but it still happens now and again.  Any ideas?  

    It needs to be sent in for repair work. It is likely a fault in the display electronics such as a loose cable or bad display controller.
