Strange mark on my screen

Just noticed a strange marking on my screen when it is turned off, I've tried to clean it off with various products, but it appears to be grease-proof.
Anyone know what it might be or how I might go about getting rid of it?

Take the MBP to your local Apple Store or an AASP. Let them deal w/it.

Strange Spots on Glossy Screen

Hi, I am currently using a late 2006 Macbook, it has never given me any problems and it works great. Recently I noticed that there are these strange marks on my screen. They look like the normal screen except, it is slightly brighter, they look like smudges. I have a feeling that this might be the glossy coating coming off, but I can't be sure.
I am no longer covered under Apple Care

Smudges? I have the same problem except i have little black dots in my screen

Strange marks on Curve 8900 screen

Hi folks,
I hope someone can help me out. I have a new blackberry 8900 javelin (have like 4 months of use) and some strange marks appeared on the screen. They are small marks, but they don't disappear. I had the same problem with my last curve 8900 (I had 3 8900 models) but last time, the marks disappeared in a few days. Those on mine are not disappearing. I know it's not a liquid crystal leak, it's a malfunction or something, because the mark had a different shape in a few days ago. Here are some pictures i took to show the problem.
hope someone can help me out!
thanks guys!

Hey eduardopfm,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Those marks are definitely hardware/lcd screen related. I would suggest contacting your network service provider or point of sale for repair options as this is not software related.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

How can I remove marks from the screen?

I inadvertently touched the screen with the tip of a black permanent marker, and now have 2 little black dots spoiling the view! Is there anything I can (safely) use to get rid of them?

YES there is a solution!
I had this happen several years back to a new laptop. Someone borrowed my laptop at a business meeting to do a powerpoint presentation and had a permanent sharpie in their hand while they presented. In reaching over to press the "next" button during the presentation, they accidentally wrote on the screen. This put about a 1" blue mark across my screen. I totally freaked out!
Anyway, in researching a solution, I discovered that there is a chemical solution used to remove permanet marker from photographic negatives without damaging/discoloring the surface or coating. I had a recommendation to try this as it would not damage the laptop screen. It worked great!!! The permanent marker wiped off as if it were a whiteboard. In the years using this laptop, I never noticed the mark again and never noticed any sort of discoloration or damage to the surface or screen coating.
The chemical is used is a photographic emulsion cleaner called PEC-12. If you do a google search you'll find it all over the Internet. You may also be able to get it (or a reasonable substitute) at a local professional camera shop. You'll also see wipes for sale with these, which I also purchased. It's a lint free cloth that you spray the cleaner on and then wipe the film (or screen).
I hope this helps you out.

What does it mean when I see the file with the question mark on my screen?

What does it mean when I see a file with a question mark on the screen?

Means no bootable system can be found or required system files are missing or damaged. Reinstall OS X.
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Question mark flashing on screen

MacBook fell off office desk after I tripped on the charging cable and when it turned on again it's just flashing with a question mark on the screen and I am unable to do anything else with it.
Does anyone know what I can do to sort this.
Can access anything an worried I will lose all the files etc on it.
Need help?

That impact appears to have damaged the internal drive's hardware; if so, only a professional data recovery service can retrieve the files, and those can charge hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Question mark flashing om screen

question mark flashing on screen.

The question mark means your Mac cannot find a system folder to boot from.
Startup your Mac while holding down the Option key. That should prompt the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk then click Restart.
If the startup disk is not available, the disk is failing or has failed.

Strange marks during reading Rs232 buffer

Hello,
I have got the problem with read Rs232 buffer.
I am sending a frame to initiate an buffer from RAM of the external device. Everything looks correct, the device is answering, but during reading a feedback message i receive a strange marks(attached jpg). I wrote adequate software in c# to have sure the external equipment is available, it works. So i checked if in my .vi are any bytes in the received buffer of Rs232, yes they are...So the problem is in LABView. Does anyone have had the same situation?
I am wondering if there is no any problem with fonts or something?
Thanks for any tips.
Solved!

You should only be configuring your port once. That should be done before this loop. By configuring the port inside of the loop, you are reinitializing that port with every call. That could cause weird things while the configuring is happening.
You should probably have a wait sometime between your write and your read to allow your device to respond.
Is your device sending an End Of Line character at the end of each message? If so, get rid of the "Bytes At Port" propery node. Just tell the read to read something really large. It will automatically stop reading when that End of Line character is found. If it isn't sending that character, you should disable that with the Configure Serial Port (that you should have BEFORE that loop).

Strange marks in page list

This is my list of pages in a book of over 150 pages. In the pages list I have these strange marks indicated by arrows. Anyone know what they are and how did I get them?

Sorry to keep going on about this but I would like to find out more. I have checked other Indesign files with section breaks but they do show these marks. Also the file that shows the marks in the pages list has a square bracket around pp xii-1. Hope the image will show you this.

Hard to Explain Mark on my Screen that keeps getting bigger

There is this mark on my screen that at first was very small and looked like something just on the screen, but its not, its like part of the screen is dead. And everyday it gets bigger. It's very annoying.

dead pixels probably
or the lcd is messed up
but its dead pixels
your screen will eventually get entirely ruined
u need a replacement
and they are not cheap
if u still have warranty go to the apple store (set up a genius bar appointment at apple.com first)
and see what they say
they might charge for a replacement
i highly doubt this
they should do it for free
or give you a replacement ipod
good luck
i currently have 1 dead pixel
hopefully i wont have more
since my ipod is like 2 years old

Linda, welcome to the forum.
When requesting help you should always include the make/model of the computer and/or monitor. This information is necessary for us to review the specifications of them.
What is the name of the game? It may simply be a coincidence that the red pixels occured after loading the game. You may have some bad pixels.

Strange marks/dents on 2010 Unibody MacBook Pro

Hey everyone,
Had my MacBook Pro 15" from new in late 2010, and it's been great so far.
More recently, I've been noticing these very strange marks on the casing, on the bottom right corner, near to the IR port (next to the flashing white light). There's a mark on the front, which looks as if it's "coming out" of the IR slot, and then another mark on top of the casing, in the same location (this one can't really be seen in the attached photos). They don't seem to be stains as such, but more depression marks that you'd get if you compressed soft metal. They're like white-coloured creases in the metal - very weird!
I've tred rubbing/cleaning, but they won't go away. Thinking about it, I'm right handed, and the marks are right under where I rest my arm/wrist when typing. There is also a faint line starting to appear to the right of the trackpad, which I have noticed over the last few days. But I would have thought that the Unibody would be able to take more than just the weight of my forearm! I don't lean on the MacBook, just lightly rest my wrist whilst typing. There're not sweat stains, either, because I lean on my shirt sleeve, as opposed to my bare skin touching the MacBook.
Anyway - does anyone know what they are, or has anyone else had them before? Should I be worried about them? I've attached some pictures to help. Sorry about the lighting - but it's the only way they would show up on camera!
Many thanks,
number1golfer

Help! Got permanent marker on my screen!

I inadvertently got permanent marker on my screen during the brief period I didn't have the crystal protector on. Does anyone know if there is a way to get it off?
Ugh!

Permanent marker is not all that permanent.
Find an erasable marker, (like used to write on White boards). Mark over the permanent market with the erasable one. Erase.
Most of the time that does it.
Then RUN to the store and get a screen protector. ATT sells them. They are great for stuff like this.

I got my screen fix but it got to mark in the screen,

hello
i got my screen fix at place for $69 now it got to mark inside the screen what should i do please
thank kate

Take the iPod back to where you got the screen replaced.

I installed memory to my 2007 imac. When I turn the computer on it is making a strange noise and the screen is blank

Are you hearing beeps?
What was the spec of the RAM?
What was the brand of RAM?
Have you double checked that the RAM is properly seated?
