Unibody Macbook display issue and keyboard backlight issues while booting

I have a 13" aluminum macbook which has been having some issues when booting up. The machine seems to be booting just fine all the way up to the log in screen. The display is normal and everything seems fine. After I log in, the various pieces of the screen start to display (desktop icons, menu bar, etc) and my wallpaper is visible. After a few seconds, the display seems to degrade and the wallpaper image is visible but distorted. It is almost as if the machine is in some sort of safe mode (pardon the windows reference).
Normally, I have my macbook connected to an external display and external mouse/keyboard. After a reboot, this issue occurs. If I put the macbook in sleep mode, and then wake it by clicking the external mouse, the display reappears normally and everything is fine.
The problem is when I am NOT connected to these external devices. The screen stays distorted (like it has lost its full color range) and there are other issues. The keyboard backlight seems to be disables and highlighting text does not work normally. I have tried rebooting, removing the battery and rebooting, resetting the SMC, removing recent applications (chrome, quicklook, etc.). Has anyone heard of or experienced this behavior?
Thanks.

Have you called Applecare? If you sent the machine in and it came back with a cracked case, that seems like an Apple repair to me.
As for the display issue - I think I would accept it and move on. Unfortunately, with these ever-higher resolution displays, we have more dead pixels. Since no one would pay $3000 for a display with 100% no dead pixel guarantee, Apple has to alot for a few dead pixels being acceptable inorder to keep prices reasonable.

Check with other vendors, this is common practice with LCDs (even HDTVs).
I know it isn't great to hear this, but it is what it is.

X240 touch pad issue and keyboard backlight

Hello all,
After last touchpad updates (Synaptics UltraNav Driver 7/8/8.1 ver. 18.0.7.57) my track point died (red dot middle of letters GBH) and I could select which parts of my touchpad/trackpoint I want to use. Because I have a mouse I usually dont use touchpad and if I'm on the road and I dont have mouse with me I use track point. I want to turn of touchpad because its really annoying to type anything cos my hand touched the pad and mouse makes mistake clicks. Now, If I want to disable my touch pad I need to make it from BIOS and still.. I cannot activate my trackpoint.
Another think that I also realize that my keyboard backlight is also dead no matter how much i tried to press fn+space nothing happened.
Did anyone else noticed this type of problems?

I had a few problems with the new update as well. I unistalled the driver and downgraded to the version before (16.2.19.14) and everything is back to normal.

ITunes and keyboard backlight issues

Hi, i know that this question has been asked before, but was not answered, so ill try again to see if anyone has a solution.
When using iTunes, if i skip forward or backward a track, using either the iTunes GUI or the function buttons (F7 and F9) the back light on the keyboard will turn off completely. The only way, it seems, to turn the back light is to press the back light keys, which can be annoying to find when im working in the dark.
(also, strangely, when i press skip back once, ie restart currently playing track, the keys do not turn off, it is only when the track changes :s )
Thanks

I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM! I recently downloaded iSpazz but I didn't like it and deleted the plug-in. Ever since then, my backlight has been turning off every time I change songs in iTunes. I have deleted the iTunes App completely, and all its related files and reinstalled it from scratch.. And still NOTHING! It is frustrating the **** out of me. Although it is only a minor problem, it is rather annoying! PLEASE help us!

MacBook Pro (Early 2008) Keyboard Backlight in Vista Boot Camp

Hello,
I just spent several hours looking for an answere to my question, and came up with a few non-working answers. How can I turn off the keybaord backlight in Vista? The keyboard keys F3 and F4 decrease/increase the brightness, but do not turn it off. I read about F8 supposedly turning it off, but on my MBP this key is labled as Play/Pause, it does not affect the backlight. I even tried a little Tray Applet, that also fails to work on this MBP. Any ideas? Thanks!
Rich

I have a 2006 MBP and a brand spanking new (summer 08) MPB. The 06 model could easily turn off the backlight with the dimmer keyboard keys. But on the newer models it works differently and there seems to be no way to turn it off completely. I HATE the backlight keys, especially when i am trying to watch a movie... its very distracting.... come on Apple!

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t run Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

Bluetooth, iSight and Keyboard Backlight not working. Please help!

My Bluetooth stopped working along with my iSight and Keyboard Backlight. I first noticed the weird sign over the bluetooth icon, and it read "Bluetooth not available". I payed no attention to it for a while until I tried to take a picture with Photo Booth and I read "No camera found", for some reason I tried to dim the backlight on the keyboard and a blocked sign appeared under the brightness level, not letting me do anything (Later I was able to use the backlight with the LabTick app). I have tried everything. SMC, PRAM, NVRAM, logging as diferent and new users, booting in safe mode... every solution I have found on the internet has been tested by me. Then I read this about the Hardware Test solution, and surprisingly after performing the Hardware Test no problems were found! So basically my MacBook Pro (mid 2010) is not having any trouble of any sorts with anything. Then why can't I use Bluetooth, iSight or Key backlighting (which only works through LabTick). Given the fact that the hardware test shows no problems I am not comfortable with the idea of taking it to repair. There MUST be something I can actually do to fix these issues.
Does anybody have any idea? I repeat, these are NOT WORKING, NOT FOUND AND NOT AVAILABLE.
- Keyboard Backlight (Only works through LabTick)
- iSight Camera (Not found by any software)
- Bluetooth (No info appears on the system profile, the icon on the menu bar is completely gone)
All three issues happened at the same time, the night before everything was working perfectly fine.
If anyone could help... please!!!
Summary:
MacBook Pro Mid 2010 (http://support.apple.com/kb/SP583) Unibody, can't take out the battery.
Solutions tried:
- Reset SMC: Turning on while holding Shift + Ctrl + Option + Power Button (This makes my MacBook forget about the battery and start up with really loud fan noise, battery icon appears with an X on it, keyboard backlight buttons work, they show brightness level on screen, but the actual light won't work, no bluetooth, no isight)
-Reset PRAM and NVRAM: Turning on while holding Option + CMD + R + P (I have waited for 2 chimes, 3 chimes and 4 chimes at different times, nothing happens. Light, bluetooth and isight are still gone)
-Holding Power Button for 10 seconds, 20 seconds, longer... nothing changes.
-Creating and logging in as new admin user, nothing changes.
-Deleting the bluetooth.plist file and powering off and on again, also rebooting
-Deleting the SystemConfiguration folder, powering off and on again, also rebooting
-Installing "blueutil", didn't help at all, turned it off via terminal with command blueutil off.
-Performing Apple Hardware Test - Shows no erros or problems on any area after one full hour of testing (Performed the extended testing)
-Leaving it powered off overnight
Please anyone help meee!! I can't afford going crazy!
Thank you so much in advance!
Alvarock.

****UPDATE***
Hi guys i got across this forum after searching for bluetooth, front camera and the most ANNOYING no lost keyboard backligth.
After run all the test, procedures, tweeks and, and everything i remenbered that once i sent my MBP to repair at you bring i break, turns out that the little ribbon flex connector coming from the mother board ( from the rigth to left) was loose since the adhesive wich they used shrink do temp changes, anyhow y popped out the glas and found the flex cable totally sticked to the glass pulling out of the pcb board connector, reinstalled it smoothly and that FIXED the camera, bluetooth and keyboard backlight!..
thats it. hope i helped some frustraded owner.

What is the default screen brightness setting and keyboard backlight brightness default setting, and how to you go back to default?

What is the default screen brightness setting and keyboard backlight default setting? I just got a new Macbook Air and fiddled a lot with it, and now just want to know how to set the brightness levels back to default. Thanks everyone!

Hey sberman,
I maxed out the screen brightness before I clicked on "restore defaults" in system preferences> energy saver (which has to do with battery, not exactly screen brightness) to see if the screen went back to a "normal" brightness level, but it didn't. I don't think it restored the brightness to default..

I have a black MacBook from 2008 and tried downloading snow leopard 10.6. It told me I had to restart my computer. However once I restarted my MacBook my touchpad and keyboard were not working so I am unable to sign in. I have no idea what the problem is

You cannot download the upgrade to Snow Leopard.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
         7. Xserve (Early 2009)
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
     Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
         See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.

[solved] Minor issues (gnome-shell crash and keyboard backlight)

Hi,
I have two very small questions that are probably quite stupid but I just don't know what to enter into google to resolve these issues. I hope you forgive me if I just list those and hope that you can give me some pointers.
1. When I close the lid on my Dell XPS 13 and open it again gnome-shell crashes. When I press the power button my laptop goes into some kind of sleep state as well but without crashing gnome-shell in the process. So the question is: how can I make the former action behave like the latter?
2. I'd like to disable the keyboard backlight. Where would I do that?
Any hints, pointers or quick solutions would be appreciated.
Last edited by dkgi (2012-08-06 17:07:20)

1. You can change what happens after you close the lid using a menu in the 'gnome-tweak-tool'.
pacman -Syu gnome-tweak-tool
Find out what kind of sleep state is causing the problem by calling the commands from a terminal.
Read this wiki-page to find the commands.
Also read the troubleshooting part of the page.
2. It is possible to get information about the state of your devices in the '/sys/devices/' virtual filesystem.
For example the light on my thinkpad can be read from '/sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/leds/tpacpi::thinklight'
Try to find something similar for the keyboard backlight and find out where to write for changing it.
Sorry, no quick solution here ;-)

Macbook pro 13" running moutain lion keyboard backlight issue

Is anyone experiencing the same problem? I've upgraded my macbook pro (mid 2009) to Mountain lion and then the keyboard backlight doesn't work now. I've browsed around for solutions suggesting to uncheck the "Adjust keyboard brightness in low light" found in System preference > keyboard section, but this options doesnt exist for me. Please help. Many thanks

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Free upgrades to Mountain Lion already ended, so now you have to pay to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion. I recommend you to return the MacBook Pro and get another one with Mountain Lion if you want. Another option is to wait until Apple launches Mavericks and upgrade to that version

Keyboard Backlighting issue?

Hi all. I'm having an issue with my new MBP... (Don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if it's a flaw with the MBP)
This has only happened when I wake my MBP from sleep and it's on battery power (haven't tried it plugged in yet... I'm currently at work). If I try to adjust the backlight for the keyboard, it doesn't work. There is a small circle with a line through it when I try to raise/lower the light (kind of like a no smoking sign). Whats going on? Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

I just got back from the genius bar, feeling like a fool, because my keyboard backlight would not turn on, even after checking all the settings in system preferences and pressing f8 and f10 and covering the speaker grilles to no avail. The Genius put his hands over the speaker grilles and asked me to push f10. Nothing happened. then he said hold down f10, and the keyboard backlight turned on! I said thanks and assumed it was user error, then drove 45 minutes back home. Now I am at home and the keyboard backlight won't turn on! The HUD display now shows how bright it should be and the display reacts to the covering of the speakers just fine. I am so frustrated. I was on hold for 41 minutes and now am on hold for 43 minutes after talking to someone who was going to get the genius back on the line with me. I just got the MBP back from repair where they replaced the logic board, and I assumed the reason it didn't work was that something didn't get plugged in all the way upon reassembly, and now I wonder that again...
If there is anything else software related I can do to troubleshoot this, please let me know.

Retina Late 2013 13' Keyboard Backlight Issue

Since I got the computer, many times the keyboard backlight won't work in every keys. Some keys have the lights on, another dont. The first and the second row of the keys have that issue... Sometimes I reset SMC and they start to work, sometimes dont. It is constantly happening. What could it be?
Thanks

I have the same problem with my late 2013 MacBook Pro 13"; it only occurs when the backlight is set on one of the lower setting. While it's not that big of a deal it's still somewhat annoying. It is very noticeable if you're looking directly at the keyboard.

HT1338 Keyboard Backlight Issue

Hi Everyone,
I was recently advised to reinstall Lion due to long start-up times. After reinstalling, I noticed that the keyboard backlight was no longer working. I have read many other threads advising what to do but this is what I have done as far:
Reset SMC and PRAM
Cover iSight to establish the ALS is working (it is)
Use the F5/F6 keys to change the intensity - these work because the graphic comes up when I press them but they have no effect on the backlight
Installed LabTick (had no effect)
Even after all of this my keyboard backlight remains off.
I would really appreciate help into my issue.
Thanks.

Hi, zrosignal - Try creating a new user account, then log in to that account and see if the problem repeats itself. If the keyboard backlighting works as expected in the new account, log back in to your original user account and go to yourusername/Library/Preferences and delete the file com.apple.BezelServices.plist, then log out and back in again or restart and see if the problem is fixed.
If the issue repeats itself in the new account you create, then you may have a hardware problem (which is probably no more serious than a loose cable connection).
Let us know what happens.
Good luck!

Slow i7 MacBook Pro startup and battery life issues

Hi Everyone,
My i7 2.66GHz 15" MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM does a couple of things that worry me
1. The battery life is poor, 127 Charge Cycles, 6 months old. I'm sat on Chrome with one window open and it's reading 3hr 16 min on 83%
2. The startup into 10.6.5 is painfully slow. It seems to load up the menu bar at the top and hang mid flow, just before the battery status and time remaining appear.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance! Mike

There seems to be a lot of unanswered questions floating around here.
Its kind of scary seeing some of these "issues" and not seeing any answers.
I just spent 3 g's on a 2011 mbp, and I am really hoping all the great things that I've learned about Apple still rein true. Those are the only reasons I bought one.
My startup is very slow as well.

U330 Diagnostics Program and Keyboard Sensor Issues

I'm sorry if this has been posted before but I've been searching for awhile now and can't find it.
I was wondering if there was any type of diagnostics program for the U330 to test my cpu, fans and the general hardware.
Also i was wondering if anyone else with the U330 notices any keyboard sensor issues. Such as, I have to press firmly in the middle of the keys for it to register. Or I have to press firmly on the "T" or "Y" button for it to register the click. It's very bothersome and I was wondering if anyone else with a U330 has a similar issue?

What do you mean by testing cpu/fan/ram? You can test cpu by OCCT or S&M and you can test RAM by memtest86+
Regarding keyboard - you should have it replaced, it's a common faoult in some ideapads.
