Tv screen turned blue after speaker layed against right lower screen

after a speaker layed on the screen,in the right lower area of the screen.  the area
of the screen turned blue and is now covering almost half of the screen.  the rest of
the screen is ok.
thanks,  ljd

The other possibility is that he laid a physical speaker against the face of an LCD or plasma screen, damaging the unit.
LCDs/plasmas are much more sensitive to frontal pressure than CRTs.
To the original poster:  What kind of TV is this?  Where was this speaker laying against the TV?  Did someone accidentally lean a speaker against the face of an LCD/plasma so the panel was bearing weight, or did someone place a speaker near the side of a CRT TV (whether a normal CRT TV or a CRT projection unit)?
If it's an LCD or plasma, the panel is likely permanently damaged.  Time for a new TV.  Don't lean stuff against the front face of such units in the future.
If it's a CRT, it just needs to be degaussed most likely.

  • Have a problem with my screen turning blue after exiting Safari or Firefox, what is going on?

    Have been having an intermittent problem with my MacBook Pro running 10.6.8.
    When either running Safari or Firefox the desktop will turn blue and i have to hard reboot in order to use my Mac again.
    Please help.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Enter "WindowServer" (without the quotes) in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the same process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

    pls help me how to reboot my macbook air,.. because starting it up was not successful. the screen just turns blue after the apple logo appeared.

    i know loads of people who have had this problem including me.  The Java script update apparently had some virus that has overloaded the start up disk.   I took to apple who said i have to have the machine rebuilt but first i have to go to a data recovery company to get back everything that was on it.  Data recovery company have quoted me nearly £1000. 

  • I tried to update my ipod 4th gen. but when I came to see how much charge the screen was red and it wasnt charged and i cant use my ipod. the screen turned blue also one time, and now the apple logo comes up and its bright then dim and it stays there help

    I tried to update my iPod 4th generation while it was charging and when I came back to check on it the screen was red and it wouldnt go off, and my ipod wasnt charging like it was supposed to. I found out how to get the color of the screen off but my ipod always has the low battery thing and when I charge it sometimes the screen turns blue or the apple logo comes up bright and then it gets dim and stays there. My ipod wont turn on, and I really want it to work again. Help me please! Also, I noticed my ipod battery hasnt been lasting long as it should efore this happened.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why does my screen turn blue and freeze every time i try to plug in my 'mini display to hdmi' cable into my thunderbolt port in order to use an external monitor?

    why does my screen turn blue and freeze every time i try to plug in my 'mini display to hdmi' cable into my thunderbolt port in order to use an external monitor? it only works if i turn the computer on with it already plugged in.

    Do you have gfxCardStatus installed?  Is your monitor set to "Integrated" or "Discrete".  You want it set to Discrete to drive the external HDMI display.
    Try resetting the PRAM and SMC
    <About NVRAM and PRAM>
    <Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)>
    Are you sure you have a good miniDisplayPort to HDMI cable?
    Do you have another HDMI display you can test against (your neighbor's HDMI capable TV).
    Do you have friend that can test the cable using their Mac and maybe their TV or a monitor that has HDMI input.

  • My macbook screen turns blue

    when on my macbook pro, the screen turns blue all of a sudden forcing me to do a hard restart. Does this happen to anyone and how can this be resolved?

    Ist do you have the latest security update for Snow Leopard installed?
    How were you watching the movie?  Was it using Firefox?  If so, update to the latest Firefox 10.0.1.
    I had the occassional blue screen problem when quiting applications.  It was due to automatic graphic card switching.  The latest Firefox now uses the HD 3000 graphic card so there is no switching to the AMD card.  I haven't had the problem since upgrading to Firefox 10.  I think Firefox may have left something in the background running even after you think you quit it that may have contributed to the problem.  Also, there have been reports that the Feb Snow Leopard security update version 1.1 may have corrected the problem.  I have the same computer as you have and I am running 10.6.8.  You would be smart to buy Applecare to extend your warranty for 2 more years.  If a graphic card is failing,  it costs $900- $1000 to fix if no warranty (new logic board).  After I updated everything, I started up in safe mode by holding down the shift key at startup and then restarting to re-build the startup cache.  So far so good, cross my fingers.
    Next time the problem happens just close the screen and allow sleep, re-open and your screen should be back, hopefully.  Turning off graphic card switching under apple, system preferences, energy, uncheck box also prevents the problem but gives you shorter battery time.
    If the few thing I mentioned don't work, time to bring your computer to the Apple Store

  • Screen Turning Blue-Help Please

    OKay so lately I'll be on the internet or in a differnent program and all of the sudden my screen turns blue and then it goes back to normal, does anyone know how to fix this? If this helps everytime my screen has turned blue it is after I'm done playing a Sims 2 if that helps. Thank you

    im having much the same problem with my mini. it's acting like someone is hitting the "detect displays" button in system preferences over and over. im certain that it's not a temperature issue, because sometimes it will start doing this immediately after the machine has been turned off for several hours, and other times you'll be sitting there, browsing the finder, and it will start doing it.
    It cycles between all blue screen (no menu bar) then to black then back to the desktop, and then repeat over and over and over. You end up seeing the desktop for only a fraction of a second before it repeats the cycle.
    Nothing much seems to help, as i said above, even if it is off for several hours you could turn it back on and it starts right up again resetting the screen.
    Im at a total loss as to what to do.

  • Cursor freezes then screen turns blue....

    Hi All. This is the only issue my MacPro has had in the 1.5 years or so that I've owned it. Every once in a while the cursor freezes, the screen turns blue for about 4 seconds then everything goes back to normal. It's not really a problem but it's kind of annoying. Has anyone else seen this strange behavior? I'm thinking that re-installing the OS would fix it but that seems a little drastic.
    Any ideas?

    Hi, How much Free Space on your HDD?
    Two ways to go on this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    Or...
    I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!
    Disconnect the USB cable from any UPS so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

  • My macbook shows up the apple at startup and then the screen turn blue

    As I said, when I turn on my macbook, the apple appears and then the screen turns blue and stays like that.

    I have a Macbook (purchased in september 2008) in India. I got a blue screen error in 2010 when it was under the Apple care protection plan. I took it to the service centre and they replaces the Logic board to sort this error. After that the blue screen error appeared in 2011, 2012 and 2013. For the past 2 years, I have taken in the macbook atleast 5 times for the same error and the service centre had been re-formatting it and giving it back to me. But the problem kept re-curring. No proper diagnosis is being given at this apple authorised service centre.
    I finally called up Apple tech support, who made me give the machine back to the same centre. Techsupport asked them to perform some check measures and finally decided that the OS being installed in my machine was the wrong one.
    So the Service centre installed the original one from the CDs I had.
    But this is no resolution as no one is willing to comment on this service measure nor is there any assurance that this will not happen again.
    I have spent more than 15,000 rupees on the repairs for the past 2 years and am fed up of this.
    I came to know from an Apple source that in the US, Apple has no "repair" policy and in the event of such a case, replaces the machine.
    Can anyone here guide me on this please?
    I will be grateful for any and every input.
    The Apple authorised service centre is TRESOR SYSTEMS in Gurgaon, Haryana, India.
    thanks a tonne

  • My iMac turns on and about 10 mins later it glitches and freezes and then the screen turns blue/green/white

    My iMac turns on fine, but about 10 minutes later I can't use the mouse as the whole thing freezes. Sometimes it continues to move the mouse for a while but then glitches the screen (see first image). After that my screen turns blue/green/white and even purple as a solid colour (second image - changes to a different colour). I'm wondering what the problem is and can I fix it myself?

    I have a similar iMac.
    1. Be sure you have 4 GB of RAM.
    2. Create a new USER wih Admin Rights
    3. Don't add anything to the start up sequence.
    4. Update all your apps. This is a big problem. Do it.
    5. Use Font Book and verify your fonts. Delete any broken fonts.
    6. Download and install Applejack. If you have to force a restart, press and hold command s. A black screen will appear. Finally it will say something about Applejack. Type applejack and run #1 and #2. Restart.
    Don't run Applejack outside of safe mode. (Command s)
    Come back and let us know how it is working.

  • When I get to the login page on my macbook, I type in my password and it starts to load, but then the screen turns blue and it goes back to the login. What should I do?

    I was having some problems with my mac, safari and itunes was freezing alot. I have to force shutdown and when I tried to start up again i get to the login page, type in my password and it starts to load, but then the screen turns blue for a few seconds and it goes back to the log in screen. What should I do?
    Please Help!!

    Somewhat similar problem:
    Put in the password, hit enter, the screen goes blue for half a second, then goes back to login screen and carries on logging in as usual.  Drives me mad.  It doesn't happen with a fresh Lion installation, nor if booted into safe mode.  On the machine in question it also happens to new user accounts.
    I've removed all login items, including Startup Items and Launch Demons (pun intended) and Agents, I've compared system login plists with a fresh Lion installation - can't see differences.  I've removed Little Snitch and PeerGuardian (no more third party kexts).
    @Carolyn: I've done disk maintenance with DiskUtility and fsck and even DiskWarrior, cleaned caches, etc. etc.
    Any ideas would be gratefully received.
    Sorry for trying to hijack the thread (as it's not about Lion), but it seemed dead anyway.
