Screen resolution after drop

I dropped my ipad2 - screen didn't shatter and lcd stil works but there are some wavy areas (colors render correctly) on the screen. I sure the problem is the result of the drop. Any idea what this is and how to fix it? thanks!

I agree with Alan. Something came loose when you dropped it.

ZBook 14 - Can't change screen resolution after update

After I installed some software updates the Laptop was suggesting me, my screen resolution went suddenly from 1900x1200 to 1200x720 after reboot, and it doesn't let me change it, not even to a smaller resolution. I am quite frustrated, because I will need the computer next week for visualization works and I really need the display working well.
It doesn't let me change the resolution. The display and graphics drivers are up to date and working properly, according to the device manager. I made a system recovery, but that just made everything worse although the resolution thing worked again, I had to run a startup repair several times before my laptop would boot propery again. This didn't solve the issue, since the display drivers weren't working properly (videos were being visualized very poorly) and even after updating them the computer wouldn't start up again, so I had to made another system recovery and now I am back to the point where I can't change the resolution and is starting to be really frustrating.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

Q5 drastic increase in screen resolution after OS upgrade

So:
I updated the Q5's OS software to version10.3.1.1865 and after that the screen resolution has increased so much that the icons seem much smaller and my eyes hurt.
One of the closest solutions I found on here was from a post that complained about everything getting too big. The solution to that was to access Accessibility in the settings and disable the screen magnification.
I enabled it and everything became bigger but it did not solve the high resolution.
Is there any way to turn it down or even download the old OS version?
Thank you

You can reinstall the old OS but unless you have a backup from the previous OS you won't be able to restore a backup from this OS to the old one.

Windows Does Not Remember Screen Resolution after restart

Hi Everyone,
I have a strange problem with Windows 8.1 Pro
My screen resolution resets to 800 x 600 everytime i restart my PC, and I will have to set my resolution again everytime I start my PC.
Any idea?
Cheers
Nelson

Hi Nelson,
Please check the display adapters on Device Manager.
It may be caused by your graphics driver.
I suggest you reinstall the latest graphics driver to check the result.

Change of boot screen resolution after projector connecting

Hi Guys,
My boot screen's resolution was changed to 800 x 600 when connected to a projector and the screen resolution was returned to the previous set resolution at 1680 x 1050.
However, the resolution of my dock icon was messed up (this can be configured manuall) BUT my boot screen (with the grey apple before getting to the login page) is now at 800 x 600
Can anyone advise how I can set it back to 1680 x 1050 and how to prevent this from happening the next time I plug my MacBook Pro into the projector again?
Thousand thanks for your help.
Cheers!

Fixed: reconnected the external display and disconnected it properly.

Re: Satellite L30D - Low screen resolution after Windows 7 installation

I have installed Windows 7 on my Satellite L30D. Since this installation, I cannot have a better resolkuton than 1024x768.*It was much better with Windows Vista.
I have downloaded the latest ATI driver. No effect. I cannot find the Catalyst Control Center as well. What can I do?

Hi
The Satellite L30D isnt known to me...
Do you mean Satellite L30 or Satellite L300D?
Normally you have to install the display driver if you want to use higher screen resolutions but check the specifications of your internal display first. Maybe the native screen resolution is 1024x768 and you cant use a higher one.
You can download all drivers for your notebook on the Toshiba website!!! Dont use the drivers from ATI directly, they are not designed for mobile chips.

Screen resolution after update

Hi, everyone:
I updated my Solaris x86 from 01/06 to 06/06. After reboot, my screen becomes mosaic. Before my update, I can login with Java Desktop. Now I cannot. I tried edit my grub to boot to single user mode. But I cannot locate kdmconfig. Is there any other way that I can get the resolution right again?
Thank you for your help.

How to fix ipad 2 when blue screen appears after dropping it sideways?

I dropped my ipad 2 from my kitchen table to the seat of the wooden chair at the table. The ipad landed on it's side and now the screen is dark blue and I cannot see anything on it. I can hear the camera take pictures though. I tried a reset and even tried slapping it on the back like people said would fix it. These things did not work. I don't know what else to do...

Take it to Apple and purchase an out of warranty replacement for it

Problems with screen resolution after connecting to HDTV with HDMI

Hope that somebody can help with this.
For a while I was connecting my iMac to my HDTV with a HDMI cable and a Mini Displayport Adaptor and had no problems.
The other day when I decided to put the sound through the TV (it was a quiet recording) and switched off the mirror mode my screen on the iMac went very strange.
The left of the screen was very skewed with strange colours and the actual wallpaper and icons was only on the right-hand side of the screen (I couldn't see the time, some icons, etc). The mouse pointer wouldn't go onto the left-hand side of the screen.
I have updated the software and when I now restart it - the resolution is incorrect and I cannot see the entire screen without scrolling across (although the strange stuff on the left-hand side isn't there). Whenever I now connect to the HDTV (using mirror screen) I get the same problem again.
Any help would be appreciated as I am fairly new to Macs.

Do you mean the screen looks like it's zoomed in ? If so then double-tap with three fingers to zoom out, and then make sure that Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom is switched 'off'

Poor screen resolution after installing Leopard

After I installed OS X 10.5 Leopard the screen display is very choppy with both
images and text. Everything looked fine with Tiger until I installed Leopard.
Has anyone else had this problem. I have tried resetting displays, etc in
system preferences and no luck.

I called AppleCare after trying disc repair, Apple hardware tests, zappin PRam,
resetting power manager,etc. and they seem to think it's a hardware problem.
I questioned that but they say sometimes you can have a bad piece of hardware and
even though the display looked just fine with Tiger it took Leopard to bring out
the problem. I have also tried reinstalling Leopard but the display still looks
very poor. The images and the text all look very choppy. I guess at this point
I may have to take it to an authorized Apple repair company and have them test
the computer for bad hardware.

Screen dimming after dropping computer

I have an HP Pavilion dm4-1253cl - Windows7 64-bit. I dropped the computer and the left, front corner of the keyboard broke. Now the screen is getting very dim, especially the fields where data is entered. Can you tell me if there is anything I can do to fix it? I do not know much about taking apart a computer but can follow directions well.
I also have a Mini 110-3118CL that was also dropped and screen started getting a lot of vertical lines and then stopped working. Is this fixable?
Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for writing me back so promptly, and also for your input.
Which picture of the damage on the dm4 would help, the picture of the screen or of where the computer cracked?
I know this might sound dumb, but, on the Mini, Do you mean the actual screen needs to be replaced? Can you tell me how I would go about replacing the screen on the Mini so I can order it?
Your assistance is much appreciated.

Problems with screen resolution after reinstalling Windows 7 Home Premium

Product Name: HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC
Product Number: A6X94UA#ABA
BIOS: F.1C
Processor: Intel Core i7-2670QM
Graphics Device: Intel HD Graphics Family
I recently had to wipe my laptop and reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium (created restore disk from Windows). Ever since, I have not been able to adjust my display settings any higher than 1024x768. My only other option on the adjustment range is 800x600. I have updated BIOS (it was already at latest version) and I have searched for updated drivers (system says most recent ones are in use), but I cannot get it to provide me with a more appropriate size selection for my screen; I have to scroll back and forth in Internet Explorer, for example, to see a full screen because it doesn't fit correctly on my laptop screen.
It seems like this should be an easy fix, but I can't seem to find the right trick. Can anyone help?
TIA,
Teri

@buzymom2 ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums. The only thing I would try at this point is to go to this link and download the software and drivers for your notebook.
HP Pavilion dv6-6c53cl Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
Once you have them downloaded save them to a USB memory stick or burn them to a CD or DVD.
Now you will want to boot into safe mode.
Entering Safe Mode (Windows 7)
Now in safe mode uninstall all your drivers by going into the device manager.
Uninstall or Reinstall a Device
Once you have the drivers removed, reboot into windows in normal mode. Now install your drivers one at a time you have to start with the chipset driver. If you install the drivers without the chipset first it can cause all kinds of problems.
Let me know how things go.
Thank you so much for posting and have a great day.
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

How do I fix screen resolution after I synced with IPhone?

I just purchased an IPad and have synced my apps & such from my IPhone thru ITunes.
But now, all videos and apps are small like they are being viewed on they IPhone and I
have tohit the (x2) button to get them to expand on the screen. BUT....whe this is done
the images/videos are all pixelated and out of focus. Do I have to repurchase everything
just to view it all on the IPad?

There are basically three types of app : iPad only; universal; iPhone/iPod Touch (most of which also work on the iPad).
If there is a separate iPad version of the app (which quite often have HD in their name) then if you want them you will need to purchase them - there is no free download of them, and no trade-up option in the store.
If the apps are universal apps (indicated by a '+' symbol against them in the App Store) then there is one version of the app which has processing within it which recognises the device that it is on and will configure the display accordingly - there is no need to re-download them from the store unless you no longer have them on your computer.
If the app is only designed for the iPhone/iPod Touch then it will still work on the iPad (unless it is one of the few iPhone only apps that require full phone capability) but it will just take up an iPhone sized portion of the screen, unless you press the '2x' button on the screen which will effectively double the size of each pixel in both directions (so therefore may appear pixelated). Again there is no need to re-download.
It is up to the developer whether they want to create one version of the app for all devices (i.e. universal), or whether they make separate iPhone/iPod and iPad versions.
Check that you have the most recent versions of the apps on your iPad by going onto the Updates tab in the App Store app.

Anyone has idear how this strange issue can be fixed? Thanks.

For anyone who wants to find the right Apple Mac screen that does not flicker, good Luck! The early Mac Books Pro's, had some screens made by two different manufactures.
Go into Terminal on your Mac. If the code
starts with "LP" you have an LG screen
if they start with "LSN" you have a samsung screen.
LG seems to be the problem? Samsung was so much better. Well for me anyway. Cant use modern macs and old macs......only a 2008 so far!
Try filming the screens on a slow shutter speed and watch the flicker, they all move at different speeds.
Some early ones don't really show up! : ) ( Samsung screen )
Ref below.
I look forward to Apple admitting the problem and fixing it.....Flicker free please.

Screen Resolution Issue upon Install

Howdy,
I just installed Arch for the first time (after using Ubuntu for a few years) and I'm having a problem. For some reason, it is messing up the screen resolution after rebooting the system. It occurs every time, and the text appears to both wrap around the monitor from the middle and extend beyond the bottom of the screen. The error is reproducable; when I boot up an Ubuntu live-cd, I get the same issue when trying to set my screen resolution to 1280x800. Every mode below that works just fine.
I tried a bunch of different things with respect to the screen resolution, but no matter what I set "vga=" to, I can't get it to display properly. X will open just fine, but with the same issue. For reference, here are the specs of my computer:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docu … ct=3686683
Also, I am using the x86_64 install, though it happened with the i686 one as well.
Any help is appreciated, and though I will do what I can, it will be hard for me to post anything from arch since I can't see much.
Thank you in advance

Are you using any DE? Does it happen even before you install X?
