Very unusual LCD display problem, help appreciated

First post, I want to thank anyone who can help me in advance. I just took over my sister's MBP Unibody, and she has been having an issue where there is about a 1.5 inch wide strip of complete distortion on the left hand side of the screen. Everything in that strip is completely color distorted with constant screen tearing and flickering. I suspect there is something wrong with a wire in the lcd screen, as this problem only starts after using the computer for 15 minutes, and goes away initially by tapping the screen or adjusting the screen. After about half an hour of use however, it does not go away. In a completely unrelated incident, the glass panel cracked yesterday (This problem has been going on for about a month and a half), and i ordered a replacement, so I will be "under the hood" on Thursday. If anyone has any recommendations of what I might do to try to fix this, I would greatly appreciate it.
3 pictures of my screen:

Well its 70 dollars vs 600 dollars and it wasn't me who bought the applecare. And I would gladly bring it in to an apple technician instead, however my only problem with that is its not like they can just take off the glass, take a look at it and then tell me how much it costs. i mean the glass is shattered, you take it off and its going to be in pieces. Likewise, they very well might say that they can't do anything about it because the broken glass is clearly accidental damage and immediately attribute it to the lcd problem even though it has nothing to do with it. If the glass wasn't broken, I would never have even posted and immediately taken it to the apple store. Please, tell me I'm wrong and I will take it to them right away to tell me exactly why the screen is the way it is, and it will probably be covered seeing how it started out of no where. My understanding of apples policy however is that with the glass cracked as it is, they will have no choice but to immediately charge me for a full repair. But like I said, if I'm wrong please tell me and I'll take it in tomorrow

LCD display problem- bright spot

Hi,
I just bought my idea u310 online. By opening laptop for the first time, I noticed the screen frame is detached. the frame was not fixed in its own place. it was separated from lcd. I pushed corners so that it can get fit in the right place. it seemed to be all right but after some hours working, I noticed a brighter spot at bottom of lcd display (bottom at task bar- more near to right side). I am very upset I afraid if the spot becomes more and more bigger ... its annoying . what this kind of problem is ? what is the solution ?
Thank you

I would say return it to get a full refund or a replacement because it sounds like it got damaged during shippment.

Color management on LCD displays, need help

Dear all,
I know the same topic has been already raised so many times, but i just can't help to ask it again. I am sorry for that, I just realize I will at least get a concept of what to do next. Ppl here are helpful.
I don't own any Apple monitor. I have a Macmini, connected to a new SONY LCD display, SDM-HS95P, by DVI connector.
As everyone knows the situation of LCD monitors. They have higher contrast, brigther image that traditional CRT monitors. That's why photographers and graphic designers are blaming all the time.
And now, I face the same as they do. My monitor is no more "WYSIWYG". The red i have here, may become another red on printing. The yellow I have here, may become orange on CRT.
I calibrated with the Colorsync of OSX, I decreased the contrast and bright level of my monitor, but they dont help much.
Someone suggested here to purchase color management hardwares. Of coz i know they are helpful. But the point is, how can a little student to afford a such expensive hardware for only doing color management?
Apple displays are all in LCD these days, how does Apple help their users to overcome the mentioned situation?
I know this maybe just a never-ending question, but i think ppl here may come up with some new ideas in resolving this.
Please kindly help, much appreciate! Thanks!
regards,

Hi.
Apple cinema displays do not offer the user the ability to adjust the contrast. You need to be able to adjust contrast when calibrating the 2nd monitor to match the target white and black luminence values of the first monitor.
Contrast is needed in order to adjust the white luminence value of the monitor you are calibrating. You need to be able to adjust the black and white luminence values of monitor 2 when using the white and black luminence target values from monitor 1 if you want both monitors to be calibrated so that they use the same (same but seperate) profiles.
Colorvision (makers of spyder2 pro) has indicated that this is a huge issue with the ACD monitors and they are currently researching a workaround.
If anyone knows how to fix this... please tell me (us)... thanks.

IPhone LCD display problem?

Hi everyone,
Recently a friend has encountered an issue with their iPhone 5. The display of the phone seems to be damaged as the bottom three quarters of the screen are a mix of pink and black stripes, both thick and thin in width. Could this be an issue with the LCD display and need a replacement?
Please don't confuse this issue with the pink interference lines occurring on some iPhone cameras.
Thank you for the advice or suggestions in advance.

Hey lloyd =D,
Thanks for the question. It definitely sounds like there may be a hardware issue with the device. However, to completely isolate to hardware let’s first try restoring the device as new:
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
Thanks,

Display scaling on LCD projector problem-Help please

Last night I taught my first photography class with my Macbook Pro, I've been using the same LCD projector that is in the classroom with my Dell PC laptop for ages. I plugged in the VGA adapter and quickly figured out how to get the projector up and running.
The projector that is ceiling-mounted in the classroom is only 800x600 so everything on the screen is scaled up to the point that some programs are unusable because I can't get to some of the 'buttons' in the program menus! It's hard to teach students how to use these programs when I can't even see the menus!
Is there some way to scale the display down so it does not fill the screen or is there a better solution? Do I need a third party app or something?
Thanks in advance, I've got to figure this out or it's back to the PC for me.

I don't know the exact answer but it reminds me of something that would happen with CRT monitors, if what you are seeing is a pure bright yellow.
Yellow is what you get when you mix additive red and green. If the projector should be showing white but you see yellow, then you're seeing R+G instead of RGB. In other words, whatever is supplying the Blue may be failing.
When I saw it on a monitor it was just a bad cable. Replaced the cable and it was fine. If you're lucky, it's just the cable; otherwise it could be some internal thing that won't be easy to fix. Either way, the fix is probably outside your computer.

MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-85J Problem, help appreciated

I have been trying to burn an I Movie through I DVD on the Matshita DVD-R UJ-85J. The program seems to work correctly until right at the last minute. The burning process gets to Multiplexing and burning and suddenly the disc ejects and says done. The disc when reinserted still is blank. I am fairly new at this and was wondering if I am doing something wrong or is their a problem with my drive? Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I too am having a similar problem. Whenever I burn a Memorex DVD-R through my drive, SimplyBurns stops the operation immediately, saying "disc not writable." I read somewhere that resetting PRAM fixes some problems; that didn't work. Furthermore, here is what System Profiler reports:

So, now we're sure the connection is broken. Let's analyze the problem this way.
There are 3 components in this connection:
1.The 2520's console port
2.rollover cable
3.The 2509's line ports
If one of the above components have any problem, it will cause a broken connection.
First let's check the 2520's console port. Can you login to the 2520 by directly conecting the console port to your PC? If so, this can be excluded from being a probable cause.
Second, change the rollover cable. Is it improved then? If so, the rollover cable you were using is bad. If not, the rollover cable can be likely excluded from being the probable cause.(One possibility is that all the rollver you have are bad, but not likely)
Third, plug your rollover cable to line 2, then type "telnet 10.101.1.1 2002", and see whether you can login to the 2520. If not, repeat the process on line 3, line4 ,...,and line 8.
If all the 8 lines cannot be used, there is the last chance. Remember your aux port? It's your line 9. Before repeat the above process, add some command lines in your confiuration:
line aux 0
no exec
transport preffered telnet
then type "telnet 10.101.1.1 2009
Good lucks

Moving iTunes Problem(help appreciated)

Ok. My computer's disk space was almost full, so I bought an external hard drive and simply cut and pasted the iTunes folder on my computer. I then simply added all the files(from the external hard drive) into iTunes. The problem is that it's registering this library as a new one and I have to erase and sync. Is there anyway to undo what I've done? Help is much appreciated !!

Another LCD display problem

I've seen a lot of talk about the LCD flooding. (mine isn't cracked on the outside, but the display screen is all jumbled and it looks like the ink flooding people have mentioned; i can only see half of the menu screen)
anyway, I'm wondering if apple will honor its warranty with this. I tried to set up service, but it's $30 for shipping and handling, and that's without any definite that they will replace my nano.
Other than that, if I go to an apple store will they be able to give me that answer, without waisting shipping and handling charges?

Yes, you can take the iPod into an Apple Store and see what they say.
Depending on what happened to your display, they could fix it or not. If ink is "flooding" inside, then Apple will most likely not repair the iPod, since that is usually caused by abuse. On the other hand, if half of the display is off, it should be replaced, since that is not usually caused by abuse.
In the end though, Apple decides what is abuse and what isn't.

A Bit of an Odd Problem (Help Appreciated)

Or at least I assume this is the problem...
I have windows 8 and Skype came as an app on my laptop; that's fine, it worked really well. But several weeks ago I bought a Student edition of MS Office 365 and installed it on my laptop, and the package said that a skype account was needed (or something like that, I think because you needed a microsoft account), and I was like "Okay that's fine".
When activing Office account it required a microsoft sign in, and while trying to sign in, what I thought was my account didn't work so I though that I was mistaken (didn't make the connection between MS and Skype at that moment) and that I didn't have one. Now the Student edition only works if you prove you're a student, so I used my college email when signing up for a microsoft account.
And next thing I know my skype is screwed up. Not just that it won't connect, but it won't call anyone, I can't answer incoming calls, and (going by the sounds) it doesn't know whether I'm signed on or trying to call someone.
I think the problem is that it's registering two different accounts and doesn't know which one to go with - the one already set up on the laptop, or the one MS Office 365 is supposed to be signed in?
Does anyone have any suggestions for what I should do? I'm afraid of uninstalling it incase that messes up my other apps (since this laptop came with Skype installed as an app), even if I re-installed it. I was also thinking about leaving it and just not touching it, while installing Skype on the desktop... but how much confusion could that cause?
I could really use some help with this.

you need to contact skype support (this is just a user forum)
log on to the skype webpage on a computer
klick help
scroll down
klick "get more help" almost at the bottom
there you'll find how to get in touch with them

Difficult problem, help appreciated.

Hi,
I have the following tables:
1.assessments
2.meters
3.meter_readings
assessment : meters = 1:M
meters : meter_readings = 1:M
Now, I need to calculate "meter usage" which is a sum of a usage field in meter_readings for certain period for each meter, and "assessment usage", which is the sum of those "meter usages" for the each assessment.
So I would like to have something like:
assess_num meter max_date m_usage a_usage
1 1A 1/1/00 100 160
1B 3/1/00 50 160
1C 4/1/00 10 160
2 2A 5/1/00 12 32
2B 6/1/00 20 32
Now, in disco admin, I have done the following:
1. On the meter readings folder, created
- max date on date item
2. Joined assessments folder with meters folder based on meter ID.
These 2 steps will give me everything up to meter_usage.
I'm wondering how I can get the assessment usage. I tried using a function that takes in assessment number in the workbook, but it altered the meter_usage figures and gives unexpected/wrong assessment_usage figures whenever the function is used.

I figured out a work around but it would be nice to display GROUP Calendars via anonymous. The workaround is to create a calid (useranem) for every calendar you want to group together. Then on ww command line you can call or calids that you want grouped and it will group them into one calendar ie. http://mycalendar.com/command.shtml?calid=username1;username2;userndame3;username4&view=weekview

80GB VIDEO IPOD STARTED MALFUNCTIONING IN 6 VERY UNUSUAL WAYS! PLEASE HELP!

I just got an 80GB iPod yesterday, and it's already giving me trouble. It's cutting off, giving me "sad faces", not turning on/off, making weird beeping noises and a few minutes ago it picked up a popular local radio station completly on it's own. As well as it is skipping and songs are only playing backwards and they start on they're own, even when it's turned off it turns it's self back on. It has not been abused or mistreated and has recieved perfect care. Please help!

check this out. u received the ipod yesterday, which means u have a 14-day grace period to exchange it 4 a new one! : )
it would be easiest done thru an apple store. so make sure 2 bring ur receipt and the original ipod box with everything in it.
i tell u that cuz the apple store told me the same thing tonight. haha.
good luck! : )

Color Saturation Problem (help appreciated!)

Hi.
I'm in Spain and making DVD's from footage shot on NTSC cameras (a bad idea in the first place, I know).
At the moment I have no way of verifying my results on an NTSC tv, so.... My question is that the majority (but strangely, not quite all) of the DVD's I've produced, when watched on a normal PAL television, have EXTREMELY over-saturated colors. They are so saturated that they're flattened and bleedy so that subtle textures aren't discernible.
Aside from that, the image appears stuttery and jumpy. This makes sense to me, being an NTSC DVD on a PAL tv, but should the COLORS be so drastically affected also?
I've done five project here. 4 of them look stuttery and with bad colors, but 1 of them looks fine. This is the mystery. Is there some encoding setting that I'm overlooking that can reduce the problem?? Is this a normal symptom of NTSC seen on PAL equipment?
I've tried on various different PAL tv's and players. no change.
(this problem occurs with both 24p and regular NTSC footage. I use DVDSP4 and FCP4)
THanks for your time!!

any ideas anyone? thanks
