Screen Light Off on the top?

Since few weeks ago the light of the screen (on the top) was kind of blinking at the startup in the morning, but after some minutes it came back to normal. And now, after beeing on sleeping mode for few hours, the top of the screen is quite dark as if the light on the top went off. So now I have a light degradé from light-bottom to dark-top. Is there anything I can do?
I work all day with it for photography...

Thank you! G.

Hi,
Either the Backlight or Inverter is going out.

  • Video capture screen cut off at the top

    I am waiting for my new elements 9 to show up on the licensing page, and perhaps this will solve the problem I am having in version 3 (I know, but like I said I am upgrading!) but I would like to import some video from tape and I have a problem I have never seen before.  When I open the video capture page all is well except the top menu portion is cut off which presents a huge problem since the button to go back to the main page when import is complete is not there.  The only way out is good old alt-cntl-del to close the whole program.  Does anybody know how to fit the screen so everything shows?  All my other applications fit perfectly.  Its been getting bigger and bigger for the last week but until now I had the very bottom of the icon to click on.  Cant wait for 9, not sure why it takes so much time to make it available for download and licensing...

    Quicktime regularly updates so I assume I have the latest.  I do have  3.02 and I just called up the program to get the version I am running  and I see the problem has gone away.  I now see the whole screen and am  able to grab the edges and adjust the size,  go figure...  I am still  waiting for my version 9, I expect this problem will not show up again  once I update.  Thanks for the help!

  • HT201401 My camera doesn't open when tapping the camera icon, its a black screen.  I can only open it by turning off at the top, then instead of 'sliding' to unlock, I need to slide up the camera picture.  This opens the function and I can take pics as no

    The only way I can get the camera to work is by turning the phone off at the top, then instead of 'sliding to open' I slide the camera picture up the screen.  This opens the normal camera and I can take pictures.  What have I altered, and how can I reset it so I can tap the icon?

    Try force closing the Camera app, followed by resetting your phone.  Double=tap the home button, locate Camera in the list at the bottom, tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it, tap the home button.  Now reset your phone by holding the on/off and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • When uploading videos to iWeb, the video screen gets cut off at the top. It only happens in Firefox, but not in Safari.

    When uploading videos to iWeb, the video screen gets cut off at the top. It only happens in Firefox, but not in Safari. Has anybody else had this problem?

    I'm using pure HTML5 for mobile websites although you need to provide an OGG file for Firefox. See the movie page on this site...
    http://mobile.ezmacwebdesign.com/
    If you don't have an iPhone, grab the browser handle and drag it to the left to reduce the width to see how it responds to mobile devices' fixed width browsers .
    This will play in all modern browsers and on mobile devices. You can use QuickTime Pro for the OGG or OGV conversion or get the freeware Miro Video Converter...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Easy-Movie-Player.html
    If you only want to upload an MP4, you can use a flash fallback player and this will cover Firefox and those geriatrics that still use older versions of Internet Explorer....

    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/JW-Media-Player.html
    If you use any of the four fallback players above, take advantage of the fact that you can add a poster image and stop the video file from preloading. This makes for a faster page download time.
    You can also achieve this using HTML5 by adding preload="none" and poster="URL to the poster image" into the code shown on this page...

  • Light sizzle in the top left of the keyboard in MBA 13" 2010

    Hello,
    My new MBA 13" (4Go, 1,86Ghz, 128Go) make a very light sizzle in the top left of the keyboard. I think this is the fan's noise because the sizzle stops when I turn off the computer and it starts again when I turn it on.
    Do you hear the same noise in your MBA ? When I work in silence, it is quite disturbing...
    Thank you for your help,
    Joan

    No, it won't be different to return it. You could go to genius bar at a store and let them listen. But likely they won't be able to hear it. I don't know if anyone ever positively identified the source of the sound. I remember one speculation was that it was related to frequency stepping done by the CPU to reduce power. This post takes about one person's experiences with the sound. The early Intel MBP also would make a very faint "moo" sound just before a fan would kick on. That was even more strange.

  • Why does Large text in a Form get cut off at the top when I save it as a PDF

    Hi. I've created a form in Acrobat with 2 text fields. I set the size to 40pt and 30pts using Helvetica. When I fill out the form and save-as a PDF the text displays as cut off at the top.
    Here's what I've tried so far:
    Making the text fields MUCH larger than the font.
    Changing fonts. I've tried Helvetica, Verdana, Arial
    Selecting Multi-line
    Does anyone know how I can keep it from cutting off? The only solution I've been able to find thus far is reducing the font size significantly, which is not an option.
    THANKS!

    I'm using Acrbat Pro version 10.1.4
    The text looks perfect in Acrobat. I'm choosing File > Save As from Acrobat and then when I open it with Preview or Reader it cut's off the text.
    Thanks for your help.

  • My iPhone 5 only display the apple screen with text on the top (like a command prompt). Has anyone else seen this???

    I was checking my mail and suddenly i get the apple screen with text on the top (like a command prompt). It won't receive phone calls and it doesn't respond to anything. I tried to force shutdown, reset, etc and nothing happened... Now the screen changed to vertical gray lines. I'm attaching a picture of both screen displays. Someone please help!!!!!

    Try a reboot by holding both the power and ome buttons until the apple logo appears.  If that does not bring it back, take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians test it.

  • I was in Aussie last month and dropped my iPod Touch (4th Gen) on the road. The screen was cracked on the top left-hand corner. The screen got fixed but the wireless stopped working. Can I still get it fixed under my warranty? (bought last July)

    I was in Aussie last month and dropped my iPod Touch (4th Gen) on the road. The screen was cracked on the top left-hand corner (where the wireless area is). The screen got fixed but the wireless stopped working. So I am wireless-less... I bought it last July and its still under warranty, but can I still claim a repair on it?

    No because it was physical damage

  • Mail fonts cut off at the top.

    Suddenly when I'm typing a new mail message, some of the fonts are cut off at the top. Usually capital letters, e.g. "C" you can't see the top of the curve of the letter. Also, when you hit the return, a number of faded dots are in the interval spacing, looking like a bad ribbon on an old typewriter. When I send the message, it appears okay to the receiver, and the copy in my sent folder looks normal. Any suggestions? I've tried changing fonts and sizes without much luck.

  • My photos are OK in the organizer, but the portrait photos are cut off from the top or bottom when u

    My photos are OK in the Organizer, but the portrait photos are cut off at the top or bottom when used in a slide show.  I have checked the "Crop to Fit" portrait selection but it makes no difference.  I have Version 9 of Elements.

    Hi,
    I suggest that you try unchecking both of the crop options - landscape & portrait.
    To re-create your situation, I had to check the crop for landscape pictures option.
    I prefer to have control over any cropping so I tend to crop each image first before creating the slide show.

  • Screen slides off to the right-how do I get it back?

    Screen slides off to the right-how do I get it back?

    Quit and relaunch Safari then go to the Tumblr site.
    See if your post is visible.
    If it didn't get posted, you will have to re type it out.
    Tip... write out the post in Text Edit first, then copy paste the message into the Tumblr window.

  • How do I turn off the automatic full screen feature that makes the top bar (with the minimize buttons) disappear?

    I just downloaded Firefox 4 on a Dell laptop with WinXP. When I'm in a browser window the window resizes automatically and the bar at the top (with the minimize, full and close buttons) disappears. When I drag the cursor up to the top the window resizes again and that top bar appears. Makes me crazy. How do I turn it off?

    I'm not aware of the behavior you're describing. I've never seen it, and just tested it for myself. I cannot get windows to zoom to full screen just from moving them to or along the top of the screen. Is this only happening in Photoshop? If so, it may be a Photoshop issue. If not, have you installed any kind of third-party software that might be doing that? Try rebooting in safe mode and see if the problem persists then. If it doesn't, but comes back when you reboot normally, the problem is caused by some third-party software you have installed.
