T510 DISPLAY Issue: Intermittent high Contrast/Brightness

Hi folks - This is my first Lenovo forum submission and I will do my best to describe the problem with my laptops' video/display. I'm all ears for your suggestions.
*Issue*
The display would occassionally dip down in brightness/contrast then change up to a very HIGH contrast level on its own. The desktop icons, background image & browser images become un-sightly bright BEYOND your normal Lenovo Power Manager settings. All the white hues turn even brighter, and some hues are NOT viewable at all on certain backdrops. Usually, it resolves itself after several minutes.Then it's business as usual.
I do not believe it has anything to do with the Power Manager settings (e.g. Idle Time, brightness control, Battery vs AC power, etc.). It simply occurs on it's own then disappears. A reboot can help and so does closing the lid and re-logging into Windows. But who wants to practice that technique after paying over $1600 for a professional grade business laptop?
I found only ONE forum message that came close to reporting the problem, found in the body of a message and NOT as a subject (SEARCH:  "screen image fades as if you lose contrast")

  • Apple 22" cinema display suddenly became high contrast

    Suddenly my display became high -contrast (the only way I can explain it) with ragged edges to everything and the type light and fading and with bluish shadows on most of the letters. I've tried changing the resolution -- which "knocked" it right yesterday. Today, however, it's back and doesn't respond to anything I do. Help.

    Look in the "Seeing" tab of "Universal Access" system preference and make sure the "Enhance contrast" slider is all the way to the left ("Normal").

  • T510: display issues(Bright pixels that wouldn't go away) -support?

    Shortly after purchasing a new T510, I started to have problems with the display (Bright pixels that wouldn’t go away).  I figured it was a BIOS or driver issue.  However as my company purchased about 80 of these machines and I turned out to be the only one with the issue, I called support.
    I also purchased the onsite 24hour support for three years, so I called Lenovo and in a couple days (not 24hours) they came in a replaced the LCD panel, which they assured me was the issue.  Not even an hour or two after the repair tech (David) left the problem started happening again.
    I called back and Lenovo now indicated it has to be the motherboard.  Ok, so a couple days later David came in and replace the motherboard.  Now I purchased these units fully loaded, discrete graphics extra memory, high res, etc.  The motherboard they replaced it with did not have the Nvidia card, instead just the onboard graphics, which A. is no what I purchased, and B. not equivalent or better.
    So David ripped out the new inferior board and put the old broken one back in, so I could at least continue with my job, with the intermittent pixel issue. I should also mention the screen went blurry at the same time the pixel issue happened, so I would have to reboot to restore the monitor.  David then ordered another Motherboard.
    A week went by and no one called me back, so I called Lenovo again to find out what the heck was going on and why I didn’t have a new one ready in waiting within 24 hours. I was informed that is not how the warrantee works, only that they will respond in 24 hours and that the verbiage on their site around the warrantee was not perfectly clear.  Wow. OK…  I then asked when they expect to have this fixed and it turns out the part I need is on back order.
    The part finally arrives. In another 4-5 days, however, I have a business trip coming up and I can’t risk yet another defective part. With my current flaky monitor I can at least get by.  So I schedule a time with David the repair tech to swap it out when I return.
    I get the new Motherboard installed and I get all these video errors and other things start going horribly wrong.  David indicates it is a driver/bios issue and I need to upgrade/install drivers to remedy it.  Okay, so I do that, spend hours trying to get it to work. Turns out this motherboard is even worse and it crashes every time I try and use an external monitor or if the Nvidia 3100 kicks in for hardware acceleration.
    I continue to work under the belief that this is a driver issue and try to fix it, however one of the MANY crashes ends up corrupting my Window 7 install, now throwing blue screens all the time and destroying my development env in the process. So I rebuild the machine and it just keeps happening.  This is now days of lost work that I can’t bill for.
    I call Lenovo again to try and get this lemon replaced.  I get a hold of Jerome who punts me to Lenton, who punts me to Nate Bennet.  Nate seems like a reasonable guy and informs me that at their level of service they can only repair the units and are happy to continue working through this. By now this is gone on long enough and I want to have the laptop replaced, 1 out of 80, this one is a lemon. Nate appears to agree and kick off an escalation process to have this case reviewed and informs me that someone will call me back in 24-48 hours (business days that is).  Okay this is still incredibly inconvenient, but at least I believed we are making forward progress.
    36 Hours goes by and no one calls me back, so I call Lenovo yet again.  I get a hold of Julius.   Julius informs me he’ll have a supervisor call me back right away, as there was not one available.
    48 hours later I call Lenovo again, as you can guess no one has called me back.  I get a hold of Michael.  I again explain the whole situation to Michael and ask to speak to a supervisor, again...  Which again I’m informed is not possible as there is not one available.  Michael indicates that he’ll have a supervisor call me back.  This time I say I can wait on the line because that is what everyone else told me and nothing happened.  Michael then informs me that he is Michael and would not let that happen and assured me that a supervisor would call me back right away. I relent; verify my contact info with Michael and it all seems to be accurate.
    So again nearing the end of the day no one has called me back, I call Lenovo yet again.  This time I get a hold of Phil.  I once again explain the whole situation.  Phil is very apologetic, but still is unable to produce a supervisor.  Phil indicates he’ll put sticky notes on his supervisor’s machine to contact me back. I guess these guys are probably using a T510 as well and can’t read their email either.
    I ask for the name of this supervisor because clearly Lenovo is filling me with horse s&^% at this point.  There is a clear pause and all he says it "Carter.., that is his last name I don’t know his first name." Okay really, so you know this guy well enough to put sticky notes on his monitor, but you only know his last name.  Now I know I’m being lied to, but what can I do.
    So here I am with a busted laptop that crashes at least 3-4 times a day I can’t use the discrete graphics that I paid for and only supports the LCD panel built into it.  In previous experience, with a different manufacturer, after the first few failed attempts they would have replaced the unit.  I guess I should be angry with the guy that convinced us to give Lenovo machines a try for the next refresh (That was me by the way).
    I really have no idea how to proceed with this one.  This is first time in my career that I have ever been treated like this.  I really have no idea what to say.

  • X100 Color Balance/Display Issues

    I have an X100 which has display problems. It is hard to describe, but it is as though the display is on high contrast and lower than true (32-bit color), and the color balance is heavily biased towards red. Restarting the computer and trying different display settings and calibration don't work. My drivers are up to date. What is going on here?

    Hello,
    In the settings for your video driver is an option called "Vari-Bright" which, as I understand it, dynamically changes contrast in order to improve battery life.  Try disabling it and seeing if tha tmakes any difference.

  • EMac Still Humming Along - Display Issues Though ... Any Help?

    I have a strange display issue to run by the forum here:
    Obviously my 2002 eMac is going to be suffering some display issues
    with the age the Mac is and all ... but besides the slightly "softer" screen focus
    (due to aging tube), I only have one other constant issue with the display.
    I know the brightness and contrast are not what they used to be when the eMac
    was newer, but here is the issue I am having. At least once a day now (after a few hours
    of use), I seem to be constantly adjusting the "brightness" and "contrast" setting to get the
    screen to a very usable brighter white field color. Normally now, the screen will get kind
    of "dim gray" and less "contrast white" ... without any brightness or contrast range left for
    me to adjust (the brightness and contrast settings in the system preferences/display pane
    are usually maxed out).
    To kind of fix this, what I've noticed lately, is that if I open the system preferences pane
    and go to the "display" settings, lower both brightness and contrast down to the lowest settings,
    then close out of system preferences .... then open system preferences again, and adjust the brightness and contrast up to slightly higher than the normal middle settings .... the screen brightness and contast are better and I have more "adjustment range.
    Here's my question: What would be making the "brightness" and "contrast" settings come back to
    a more "normal state" by performing the above sequence? I once thought the screen display was
    getting older and as a result, dimming normally. But now I am thinking that it may be more of a "software" issue that isn't keeping the brightness or contrast settings in hold.
    I pretty much perform all the basic maintenance procedures on a regular basis (ie: Permissions,
    repair, disc repair/check, DiscWarrior directory repair/check, etc.), so am I missing anything
    important here?
    Any thoughts or ideas what is happening here, or how to make the "brightness" and "contrast"
    hold their settings longer?
    Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks

    One other thing to look at is the setting in System Preferences, Universal Access, *Enhance Contrast* slider to make sure it is set to normal before you make the adjustment in Display.
    Have you ever tried calibrating your screen? It can also be done under Display?
    Generally an increasingly darker display is hardware related caused by heat, as well as the aging of the tube as you have indicated.
    I used to like cleaning out the dust from the interior of the eMac periodically using a large soft artist's brush to dust and a running vacuum cleaner to suck up the dust as it flew. Most dust accumulates on the fan blades and it always seemed to run quieter afterwards, though 'quieter' is a relative term on an eMac.
    The only tricky bit to this operation is the micro plug that connects to the power button. It is very small and fiddly to reattach.
    Only consider the above course of action if your are naturally happy with opening electrical equipment and realize it must be completely disconnected from any power outlet before you even start. Otherwise don't do it if you feel unsure.
    Your problem is unusual in your saying that it appears to be software related, from opening and closing your Sys. Prefs dialogue. It makes me wonder if anything is corrupting that file, and the settings it contains? It is peculiar.
    I wonder if deleting that particular file would help. With System Preferences closed, in Finder locate,
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    and drag it to the trash.
    It will be recreated next time your open Sys. Prefs.
    I doubt if that will be the fix, but you might as well try it. As an experiment, instead of doing your described technique, instead try trashing that .plist and see if it achieves the same.
    Lastly when was the last time you replaced your PRAM battery? It is a cheap thing to do, and I mention it only because the PRAM chip does control some video settings and removing a possible aberrant voltage from the equation is a one more thing you can do.

  • Firefox option "Allow Website to choose their own font/color" fails in High Contrast

    On Windows 8.1 and Firefox 32, the option to Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above" Fails completely if Windows 8 is using a High Contrast Theme.
    Regardless of the Windows Theme, Firefox should allow pages to use their designed colors otherwise problems will exist on a number of sites. Including the Mozilla.org page.
    With the Allow Pages... turned on, it should look like this:
    http://yosemitelandscapes.com/temp/correct.jpg
    Instead the Windows High Contrast is forced upon the web site:
    http://yosemitelandscapes.com/temp/incorrect.jpg
    For reference Chrome does this correctly which has forced me to switch to the Chrome Browser until a fix is issued for this problem.
    NOTE: This is not the same problem people reported where High Contrast did not function in Firefox 29. But I think it may be related to the fix.
    I have tried "reverse logic" and turned these options on and off to see if the behavior changed. Pages refreshed and even closed and reloaded. I can find no way to work in High Contrast Themes and allow pages to show up normally in Firefox 32.
    I much prefer the security and design of Firefox. Help us please!!!

    That's a painful example. I don't have access to Windows 8/8.1 myself, but I suspect this is by design, as I have seen other screenshots from users using high contrast dark themes that did not have background colors and images.
    Firefox 32 contains a change from this bug: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1042625 Bug 1042625 - Page should be drawn in accordance with the high contrast themes]. The testing (and a comment in the patch) refers to solving a problem on Windows 7, but apparently Windows 8 also was affected.
    I don't know whether there is a workaround to tweak what is and isn't displayed in the page with a high contrast theme.

  • 10.5.3 Update display issue. None of the already discussed...

    I've calibrated my display at a colour management facility some weeks ago, and took a screen picture of the brightness setting in system preferences... so that i could recall it in case i changed the brightness by accident.
    well, after updating couple days ago, i was asked to restart my computer. i did restart, but the computer acted weirdly, taking a lot of time installing extra stuff and eventually auto-restarting extra 2 times before showing my desktop again.
    once it did, i noticed right away my screen was a little darker and maybe with lesss contrast. I checked Display preferences (Adjuts display brightness left Uncheked) and with the brightness slider at the same point as usual, it was significantly darker. Actually, i need almost full brightness to get the same white that was 70% brightness before the update.
    I see a lot of people with display issues after that update, what is going on?
    ps: i'm using 2008 LED 15" MBP

    That extra stuff your computer was installing may have been things that Software Update downloaded automatically but didn't install at the time. Don't worry, restarting twice is normal. By chance did you notice a drop in brightness after the update when running on battery power? When you unplug a MacBook Pro, the screen automatically dims a bit to save energy.

  • Toshiba 50M2U Display Issue - Help!

    Colors are not displaying correctly on our Toshiba; dark colors are replaced with a green hue. It's most noticible in the initial boot up, with the red TOSHIBA logo appearing on top of a green screen that should normally be black.
    I messed around with absolutely every setting on the tv. Tint, contrast, brightness, color, reset to factory settings, etc...
    None of it fixes the issue I'm wondering, is it the LED lamp panel that's messed up? Has anyone ever had this issue before?
    Please let me know if there's anything that can be done about it!

  • How do I make Firefox ignore the "Use High Contrast" option in Windows?

    I am taking care of a Windows XP machine which is running in "High Contrast Mode" for accessibility reasons. This display mode is enabled via the Control Panel of Windows (Accessibility Options, Display, Use High Contrast) and it has major impact on how Firefox display web pages. What I want to do is make Firefox ''ignore'' this operating system option, so web pages will be rendered "normally", but keep Windows in High Contrast Mode.
    Is there any way I can make Firefox ignore this setting? I.e. run Windows in High Contrast Mode, but not Firefox?
    A similar questions has been discussed here:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Website%20colors%20are%20wrong
    However, I don't want to disable High Contrast for Windows and the whole machine, just for Firefox.
    Thanks in advance

    John,
    thanks for your comments. The computer is mainly used by a visually impaired person. She doesn't do much web surfing though and doesn't really need a high contrast web browser. If however a colleague wants to help her maintain the machine or quickly wants to look up something on the web for her, then it would be great if it was possible to access web pages "unfiltered", in their regular look and feel, as designed by the web author. In fact, the High Contrast Mode significantly changes the way web pages look, and sometimes screen elements needed for navigation etc. are suppressed or rendered invisible. (This, of course, is often related to poor web design, like graphical buttons or links with the actual label as a background image or without an ALT attribute, but unfortunately, vast parts of the web are not really "accessible", so accessibility will remain an issue for the browser as well.)
    Creating a separate user account certainly is an option, especially for shared machines, but it makes it more complicated to quickly jump in and give her a hand. That's why separate user accounts are not really popular here; instead, Opera was installed which does not adhere to the OS setting and therefore grants a neutral view to all web pages.
    Actually, when I started investigating on that issue, I was quite surprised that there was no option for this in Firefox, not even in "about:config". After all, Firefox obviously queries the OS for the Contrast setting and then chooses to render the page this or that way, so I thought they certainly implemented a flag or something to change the behavior. It seems however there is no such flag, is there? This distinction seems to be entirely hard-wired.
    I am not sure if this is the place for change requests, but if somebody stumbles upon this question, is there any chance to make this setting open to the public? Something like an option "accessibility.useoscontrastsetting" or so? This might also facilitate it to develop an add-on for on-demand switching between the two modes, and web designers could check more easily how their work looks for those with poor eyesight.

  • Icon Display Issue

    I am having an issue where my icons display as if their contrast was too high. The background, dock, .jpgs and movies all display normally but all the icons look as if a white filter where in front of them.
    What precipitated this problem was I ran an application that caused the contrast in Universal access to max out. I manually turned this down and everything else looks ok but the icons never went back to normal. It is only an issue on this account in my other accounts the icons display normally.
    I have updated video drivers. I have restarted my machine. I have check all the display properties and they look ok (monitor is calibrated and is using millions of colors).
    Is there some plist or set of preferences in a account that may control the display behavior of icons or items on the desktop? I am at a loss as to where I should proceed from here. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

  • LCD monitor display issue, need help

    I have a strange problem with my LCD display, it goes like this:
    When I first boot up the mac and the wallpaper appears on the display the image looks perfect, all the tones are right etc, but as the startup progresses, programs loading etc, the display changes suddenly, becomes too bright in the highs, too dark in the lows, and over-saturated in between. Its looks horrible.
    I have just discovered that I can correct the issue by going into system prefs, display, selecting the options tab (next to Display and Color) and turning overscan on, then back off, voila, all fixed.
    Looks great.
    Thing is I have to do this every time now that I start the computer, and Im wondering if anyone knows what causes this issue and if theres anything I can do as a more robust solution.
    The kicker is I have the same problem with a viewsonic LCD on my secondary machine (Powermac G5, Osx 10.4), right at the beginning of startup it looks great then suddenly all goes wrong, too dark/light over-saturated. Its as if the image has been blended with itself in multiply mode a la photoshop.
    And on my second machine there is no option for overscan so I cant use my quick fix.
    Is overscan a feature of the OS or the monitor?
    The worst part is I need these displays to work correctly because Im a graphic designer, I need my colors to look right so I can do my job, and while I could go buy a $1000 monitor its not possible atm, and Id kinda like to know why this problem occurs. So if I do buy a different I can be assured the problem wont rear its ugly head again. But I dont think the problme is the monitor. I think its something to do with the communication between the display and the computer.
    The monitor can display correctly, and does for a brief moment, then it all goes very wrong. Ive spoken to NEC and they werent much help but Ill be trying them again today too.
    But again, I thinks its the computer, not the monitors as I can reproduce the issue swapping out monitors.
    I hope Ive described it adequately,
    Thanks in advance for any help forthcoming, this is very frustrating and is causing me endless headaches.

    Mattdp,
    I am currently having the same problem with my 20" cinema display. Did you ever find a long term solution? Apple states that the PowerMac G5 is legacy with no support available, and suggested a reset the PRAM. I did so to no avail. I too have 10.4.11 and thus no "overscan" to turn off. This is my wife's primary computer for her photography business, and the color issue needs to be resolved as quickly as I can find the answer.
    Is there a possible solution through the terminal?

  • Higher contrast UI is a PITA

    What Adobe genius came up with the higher contrast UI that's now in Ps CS6 on OS X? I'd like to shoot the b*stard!
    Today I "downdated" from 13.0.1 to 13.0.5 on OS X. (Not using a Retina display.)
    The subtler interface of 13.0.1 and 13.0 was much easier on my eyes and less distracting from the image on which I'm working.
    Why is this crap being forced on users who only want some bugs fixed?

    conroy wrote:
    Yes, that's the same. Maybe I'm oversensitive to stabs in the retina.
    Like that white background in your screen grab composite? 
    I actually AM quite sensitive to bright light, as I seem to be bordering on having a migraine headache quite often (and sometimes way past bordering).  The darker UIs have been a real blessing, and I guess the slightly lighter icons / selection colors don't trigger the light sensitivity in me.
    But I agree, inasmuch as the background was made adjustable additional control would have been nice to have.
