Screen is shaking

After opening up my MacBook Pro from sleep, the screen was shaking up and down randomly. It does not move much, it looks like I am watching Grindhouse or something....like its a bad reel or something. I tried restarting and shutting it down but it's still doing it. If anyone knows how I can fix this or if my screen is shot, please let me know.
Thanks!

Minusha,
I called apple care and after a few tries at pram, etc we did a reinstall of the new Leopard system.
They suggested to use install and archive which means alot of drop and drag has to be done to put your info back on the rebuilt system so I suggest you have a time machine back up done, I did not because I have not received my new larger hard drive yet, and was not expecting this. I have not upgraded to 10.5.5 yet but will later today and see if all is well.

  • Satellite A215-S4757: screen started shaking, moving up and down

    I purchased my laptop about a year and a half ago and had no major problems till this week.
    It began a couple of days ago when the image on the screen started shaking, moving up and down and lines started appearing on the screen and going away. I restarted the computer but the screen did not want to power on. After a few tries it eventually came and worked fine for a while before it began doing the same thing again. This happened a few times until yesterday when no matter how many times i tried it did not come on.
    I do not think the problem is only with the screen because I have the laptop connected to my TV through the VGA cable and the image on there did the same thing once as well. Also even though the laptop powers up and the power light lights up, the words SATELLITE do not light up unless the screen comes on.
    Also the CAPS LOCK key has a light on it that should be lighting up(when pressed) as well if everything is working fine and it does not light up either.
    Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?
    Thank you.

    You make a good point but I had a notebook from an other manufacture before this laptop and I kept it going for over a year with several problems, each by itself bad enough to stop it from running. I am not saying I have any kind of skill or expertise but with some advice and assistance I think I can fix this myself. I have read some things online that point to the inverter and I have also found instructions on how to take the laptop apart. I wouldn't be so set against going to the ASP if there were any within 100 miles of me but there aren't. For now I'll have to keep looking.

  • HT4623 My iphone screen is shaking badly

    My iphone screen keep shaking lately.It moves up and down and left to right.I've update the software to ios 7.0 and the screen goes normal.But,after a few days the screen keep shaking again and it become more worse than before.But,unlucky me,the iphone warranty is over.

    Hi shahminan_bakar,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    As a first step, I would suggest restarting and/or resetting the iPhone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If you have tried those two things, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:
    iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    If these steps don't resolve your issue, you may need to backup and restore the device:

    Hope this helps ...

  • Settings Screen is shaking sometimes

    When I am switching the app ,from some app to Settings ,the screen is shaking including the parent layout fastly/(From left to right).This behaviour is very critical.

    turn your phone off by holding the power button until it prompts you to power off. Then turn it back on.
    This will reset your springboard and hopefully get that screen back.
    You can also plug it into a computer and in iTunes hit "Restore". this should also fix it, make sure you back up your stuff too.

  • My iphone 4s' screen is shaking when the brightness is in maximum

    My iphone 4s' screen starts shaking on the upper and lower part if I adjust the brightness on its maximum level (which I rarely do), but it still bothers me that there's something wrong with my phone. I usually set the brightness on medium level just enough to see the screen clearly. I'm here in the Philippines and I bought my phone last year in California. We don't have a genius bar over here and Mac stores doesn't offer repair services unless your phone is bought from a carrier (AT&T or Verizon over the US). The warranty of my phone expired two weeks ago I've already restarted and restored my phone but nothing's changed. I don't have any idea of the problem is with the LCD screen.

    My iPhone 4s screen is cracked (due to being dropped) and I can't slide to unlock it.  Several of the the icons on screen will not work either.  Is there a way to recover my photos if the phone has never had a back up and never been synced with another device?
    No in order to backup to iTunes, you would need to unlock your phone.
    In order to import pics to your computer you would need to unlock your phone.

  • IPhone 5 Battery stays at the same percentage, phone fades shows white and black lines then dies. Now phone screen is shaking and does the same thing.

    My iPhone 5 which has been working fine has only today started to get these problems. The phones battery percentage stays at the same number and only changes if i swith it off or when it does it byitself but then stays at that number. When I use it it constantly turns off by slowly fading then showing white and black lines then going off. The screen is now shaking and keeps turning off. It was on IOS 6 which I just updated as I thought this could be the issue but it still does the same thing on IOS 7. Has anyone else experienced these problems or know what is wrong with my iPhone?
    Please reply!

    Sounds like the device is failing. Since you updated to iOS 7, that would do the same as a restore. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar at Apple to have the device checked.

  • Why does my iPad keep moving between screens and shaking?

    Why does my iPad keep shaking and/ or move between apps?

    No idea why it is doing that, but try rebooting the iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • White screen with icons while screen appear shaking

    I cant remember dropping my device to cause the white screen but all I remember is it started today after putting on a cover. The phone appear to work fine but the screen is white and it appears shaky, though you can see the icons. I tried rebooting, resetting and restoring nothing fixes it.. How can I go about it now? Is it the LCD??

    There are four general causes of this issue:
    1. The computer's PRAM no longer contains a valid startup disk setting when there aren't any problems with the disk itself. This can be checked for by pressing the Option key and seeing if the drive appears.
    2. The internal drive's directory structure has become damaged. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to perform the repair.
    3. Critical system files have been deleted. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to reinstall them.
    4. The internal drive has died or become unplugged. This is the most likely case if the computer took a sharp impact or there are unusual sounds coming from its location.

  • Computer screen keeps shaking

    Hello there:
    Hoping someone can help. I have been having problems with a shaky computer screen. It doesn't do it all the time, but it could be when I'm working on a Word doc, Excel doc or even in Dreamweaver.
    I've heard it could possibly be static electricity, so removed anything on my desk that could be causing this. But nothing has worked.
    Does anyone have any ideas.
    Thanks much,
    Susan

    I'm not what OS you are running on your intel core duo???
    However, please tell us what the computer is, an iMac, a laptop or what, so I can ask the Hosts to move your post to the proper forum.

  • PS CS4 (64bit) 11.+ Issue (Screen Shaking)

    Hmm,
    I have this strange problem. I just updated my PS after a while to a newer version and now my screen is "shaking" like mad everytime I circle around the selected picture or close/further it with the navigator. The whole desktop is jumping up and down for about 2-3cm from where it should be and blinding together into a blured and disturbed image.
    I tried downgrading it and that works, also my Illustrator CS4 works just fine, so I can't really see the problem :3
    My spec:
    Intel Core 2 Duo E8500, 2x 3.17GHz
    ASUS P5Q3 Deluxe/WiFi-AP@n, P45
    Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 X2, 2x 1024MB
    Corsair XMS3 DHX DIMM Kit 4GB PC3-12600U
    Thanks for your help

    Well yea, I'll probably do that, even if I don't really see that as a permanent solution.. You know downgrading is kinda more going against the whole "progress thingy" idea and not a real solution.
    But never the less, thanks for your time

  • Iphone screen shaking when I reset

    When I try to reset my iphone "power + home" to turn on the screen is shaking is almost imperceptible, so I can see when I pull down the notifications bar ... this never happened to me I think it is not normal .. can someone tell me if it is normal?When I try to reset my iphone "power + home" to turn on the screen is shaking is almost imperceptible, so I can see when I pull down the notifications bar ... this never happened to me I think it is not normal .. can someone tell me if it is normal?

    If you have a case on the iphone, then take it off and see if that resolves the issue.
    A case could block the proximity sensor. They are not in the same place as the original iphone.

    The screen shakes? You mean flickering? If so does it occur in idle/browsing internet or just in games?
    It's flickering. Occur in browsing and in games.

  • EMac screen shaking

    Hi
    Well recently my family and I moved into an older, but larger house and suddenly my eMac has been having a strange problem. The screen is shaking badly on both sides of the screen and there is no magnetic device around it at all to cause it. However, sometimes it is very bad, while other times it is barely shaking at all. Does anyone know what could be causing this? If there is a problem what should I do?
    Thanks in advance

    Continuing the above post after being called away: two-prong also means non-polarized outlets. It's possible to replace such outlet receptacles with three-prong polaraized outlets, but to do any good, the outlet boxes need to be grounded and the hot and neutral wires correctly identified. You can check how difficult that will be by shutting off power to one branch circuit and removing a two-prong outlet. If the metal receptacle box has a copper ground wire attached to it, that can be pigtailed to the ground terminal on a replacement plug. The power feed lines under the current building code would be black=hot, white=neutral. If all the pieces are in place, replacing all the outlets in a house is straightforward but tedious (I've done that last part in a house where the previous owners thought it would be a good idea to use a spray gun to paint the interior wall. ceilings, and trim all the same color). With an older house, the power wires could be some other colors, or worse, the colors don't necessarily match the current code. An experienced electrician can test and identify the wiring and add grounding wires if necessary.
    Be aware that grounding adapters don't necessarily provide a ground path even if you remember to run the cover plate screw through the adapter's screw plate; that only works if the outlet box is grounded.
    You should also look at the circuit breaker for the house (given it's age and the outlet types, it's likely a fuse box instead of a breaker box). What amp rating is on the breakers or fuses? Older 10-amp service lines would be overloaded in a typical house, where the once-standard 15-amp service is increasingly being replaced by 20-amp to handle the demand for electronics. Low amp ratings make it more likely that heavily loaded lines are carrying more electrical noise; that noise can affect the eMac display both through direct transmission into the eMac's power supply and by RFI rediated from lines inside nearby walls.
    An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) with line filtering could improve the screen stability on the eMac. Lower-capacity APC models (e.g. the 350mA BackUPS model) are commonly used as loss-leaders to get people into the computer stores in my area and can be found for US$40 or so.
    Good Luck!
