Strange Pixel Design on Replacement LCD Screen

I just received, from a well-known Apple internet shop, a replacement LCD screen for my wife's Late 2008 MacBook Unibody. The screen was advertised and sold as new.
I installed the screen only to discover an obviously intentional pixel pattern had somehow been embedded into the screen's lower left corner. You can see pictures here: <http://www.animedix.com/clinical/screen/strangepixelpattern.jpg>
I'll request another screen as soon as the replacement parts retailer opens on Monday (it's currently Saturday evening), but I'm wondering if anyone has seen anything like this, and what could have caused that strange L-shaped pixel pattern?
BTW, I'm refraining from mentioning the name of the retailer at this time, assuming they'll promptly correct the problem.
Thanks,
JC

I have the exact same problem,
ordered a replacement panel from a certain website
when it arrived i noticed an identical pattern in the lower left corner of the LCD panel. it is slightly rotated compared to yours so I would hope I didn't just receive the panel which you have returned
it was (barely) visible even when the panel wasn't installed in the computer so it would appear as if it is indeed printed or even drawn on the panel itself (or on one of the layers within). mine too had greasy blotches on it. i'll be emailing the company soon for a replacement and hopefully an explanation -__-

  • Problems after replacing LCD screen

    I fell over and cracked the screen to my ipod nano 3rd gen. (also broke my arm but that was easier to fix!). Ive just bought a new lcd screen for it and followed all the directions on how to install it. The problem im having now is it all appears to be connected right but the screen just flashes white to black and beeps. It was only recognised on my laptop as "no name" not as an ipod. Could someone please help and let me know what i have done wrong? Before replacing the screen my ipod still worked perfectly. Thanks in advance!

    Thanks man. I will take a look at it later on tonight and see what happens. From my understanding some of these LCD's have the airport built-in or is it the antenna? I think mine is one of those, But it looked like the antenna just runs on the side of the casing for the LCD display which is still intact as I only removed the actual LCD screen. I'm gonna see if the connector is in fact not pushed in all the way although I never touched it.

  • Why won't my macbook pro recognize my replaced lcd screen?

    I replaces a cracked lcd screen in my unibody macbook pro early 2011. Under About this Mac, Displays, I could still see the old monitor plus the external monitor I was using with thunderbolt port. After changing out to a new lcd, and reassemblying the mac body, the computer did not recognize the new monitor. Why? I only connected the lvds cable to the motherboard and did not completely close the unibody and rehook up the camera and some other cabling which I think is unrelated to the display. I think that with only the lvds cable connected to the new lcd screen, it should light up and show up under displays. No?

    You can try VLC, I belive it supports playback for AVCHD. It I am wrong, it's free, so no harm no foul. You can find it and videolan.org.
    As for iMovie, it should recognize AVCHD, unless your camera has some sort of new or proprietary version of the AVCHD codec, in which case you can only cross your fingers and hope Apple updates iMovie as there is no codec plug-in architecture to expand iMovies native support.

  • Airport Card Not Working After Replacing LCD Screen

    Hi
    Both screens seems to be designed for the Portg R200 thereofre I dont see any serious reasons why you should not use it.
    > Is it easy to replace?
    Its not easy to replace if you have no experience! In such case I would recommend contacting an notebook technician.
    > And most importantly.... Can I get this cheaper anywhere else???
    As you know the market makes prices just google for a better offer.
    Cheers dude

  • Re: Satellite A200-1GB - strange ripples on the external LCD screen

    H,
    when I try to connect my laptop to my Samsung 32" LCD with VGA, I have strange ripples on the screen.
    I tried changing every settings in my computer and in my TV and it's still there.
    How can I fix this?
    It's almost impossible to watch like this.
    Thanks.

    Did you test the notebook with other external monitors?
    You should do this to ensure that this is not a LCD issue
    Furthermore I recommend checking if such ripples are visible using different screen resolutions!
    Last but not least an graphic card driver update would be useful too.

  • X60s replacing LCD screen

    Hi, I have a x60s 1702-68U with a broken LCD.  I am planning to buy a new screen and replace it myself.
    It is my understanding that parts 13N7094, 13N7096, and 42T0343 are compatible while 12N7092 is _not_ compatible.  My question is, is there any noticable difference between the 3 compatible parts?  Their relative prices seem to be quite different.  Is there any way to tell which part is present in my laptop before taking it apart?
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the forum!
    Go to "warranty" section of Lenovo's page, put in your laptops serial, and on the next page click on the link that says "parts originally shipped with this system", you'll get every FRU that is the part of your X60s.
    Hope this helps.

  • Burnt LED line in my LCD screen

    I have a burnt led line in my LCD screen on my Mid 2011 MacBook Pro, I found a place that sells the part (I understand Apple does not sell such at the Apple Stores in the US). My question to the community is, if I purchase the replacement LCD screen, can I take it to an Apple Store and pay for them to replace it?
    Thank you in advance,
    Franklin

    The mercury you are talking about is actually found in the backlight... not the display itself (and in very small quantities). You would pretty much have to smash the display in order to damage the fluorescent light behind it. Most newer notebooks use LED backlighting which does not contain mercury.

  • IMAC G5 LCD screen

    I am on my third LCD screen and I am presently waiting for another LCD screen which of course is back ordered. I have been told that this is NOT a common problem. I have approx 100 colored lines on my screen at this time. Has anyone had any success with a replaced LCD screen ? Or how many screens does one have to go through before Apple replaces the computer??????? From all the complaints it sounds like there is a big problem with the G5. I purchased mine in Dec 2005.....they came out with the new one a few months later.

  • Apple Hard Drive not working after picking it up for a new LCD screen

    I recently picked picked up my repaired MacBook Pro ( replacing LCD screen). It was weird because they didn't test it in front of me or anything, They just handed it to me. When I got back home, i turned it on. It shows the Apple logo and the loading screen. Once the loading screen was full , it would turn off automaticallyy. It turns out my hard drive failed. Even though my my LCD screen was damaged,  everything else on the mac was working fine. this is also my second hard drive , which i purchased in August ( 90 day warranty up) . I feel like this is an Apple issue and they should give me a free hard drive. Is this possible.
    The hard drive was fine before they started to repair it.

  • 4th Gen iPod LCD Screen

    I'm looking to purchase a working replacement LCD screen for my 4th Gen. iPod. ipodresq.com is quoting me $145. Does anyone know any better quote?

    My advice would be to save your money because before long something else in the iPod will fail. Send the broken one back to Apple for recycling. But if you really want to be a l33t haxor then see if you can find the make and model number of the screen and then search for it on Digikey. But you'll be lucky if you can buy just one piece from them. Another option would be to search ebay for dead iPods that have intact screens.
    good luck!

  • LCD screen is severely cracked

    Where can I buy a new LCD screen for an ipod nano 3rd generation?
    How would I be able to replace the LCD screen?

    Hey there,
    There are several businesses out there that offer replacement LCD screens for your iPod. Just do a simple google search for "ipod replacement parts" and you should receive a plethora of sites that can help you. I would recommend doing a bit of shopping around, just to get a good idea of the best offers out there.
    Here are a few choices:
    [ifixit|http://www.ifixit.com>
    [RapidRepair|http://www.rapidrepair.com>
    [iPodParts|http://www.ipodparts.com>
    I wouldn't repair the LCD screen if you didn't feel comfortable enough. You would run the risk of hurting your iPod even more and being out of the money you spent for the new screen you tried to repair yourself. Several businesses offer the replacement parts as well as the service for a decent price.
    Hope this helps.
