What's wrong with my Satellite L305D-S5892 screen?
I never had any problems with it before, the screen as shown in the video would often do whats shown then the screen would resume fine no problems. now all it does is that.
I hooked my laptop to my HDTV and it displays it fine, but it doesn't on the laptop screen.
I was looking for a new laptop if it costs too much to fix/replace screen but the option is there for me to replace the screen at a fraction of paying for a new one.
Has anyone had this problem before? and do you think its something worse?
what would you recommend as far as to fix screen or not?
I know the option's there to just buy a new one, but any info on whats wrong (i know screens messed up) and your recommendations, i don't have a warranty anymore for it so any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks in advance the link to the video is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMauAZRgJQU
>I hooked my laptop to my HDTV and it displays it fine, but it doesn't on the laptop screen.
Since the screen on the external monitor is OK, I dont think the issue might be related to GPU (graphic chip) malfunction.
It could b something wrong with the internal display, display cables, fl inverter, etc
As you see, there could be different reasons for that and its hard to say what part might cause this issue.
But if its display then an fix would be a costly affair because notebook screens are expensive notebook parts. However, if its only a small part like FL inverter or some cables then its worth a fix.
Anyway, I recommend firstly updating the graphic card driver and checking if BIOS is up to date.
If both have been done and no improvements are noticeable, then ASP should check the parts.

What is wrong with my log in display screen?
Hey There guys,
This problem started occurring right after i updated to Yosemite, which was quite a while back. Every time I turn on my computer and I get to the log in screen where I put my password, half the screen is normal and the other half is black with green lines running through it(this was the latest) other times it is white rectangles with little black ones running through them. Im not sure what is wrong with it, I never dropped my mac or anything.
I have attached an image.Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

What's wrong with my Toshiba L305D
No lights, No power/ New battery, New charger cord and new power socket
I've had this laptop for about 2 years and about a 3 months ago the power cord stopped working. I ordered a new one and things were good for about a month, then the battery wouldn't hold a charge so I ordered a new one and things were happy again. About 2 weeks went by and everything just stopped working as if I had no power to the laptop at all. I check the cord again with a meter and it checked OK. I noticed the power socket on the side of the laptop was pushed in so I thought that was the problem and I repaired that. I know I have power going to that socket and into the computer but from there it's a mystery to me.
I have NO lights at the bottom of the laptop indicating a charge or any sign that the laptop has any power going to it but I know it has power going into the laptop.
Please, please help with this! It's driving me crazy!
Thank you a head of time for the time to respond,
MattThank you for the reponse.
No, the laptop will not power up regardless of the battery being installed or not.
The plastic that holds the charger socket on the inside of the laptop case broke and that was replaced. I checked voltage going to the motherboard and everything checked OK.
Still no lights showing a charge. It's as if there is no power to the unit at all.
Thank you again for your help. -
What is wrong with my iPad? White screen
I opened my iPad this morning and there was a white screen. I could do nothing. Couldn't turn it off, couldn't do anything with buttons except the hard reset.
After about 5 minutes, it went back to normal. Now tonight, it has returned, and this time it isn't going away. Additionally, the white screen is getting less bright, and all edges of the screen are starting to darken, as if its dying. I have a genius bar appointment tomorrow but just wanted to get some idea of what I'm in for, if anyone has experienced this. I've included a picture.Yes, thats what I meant by hard reset. I did do that. It came back on with the white screen. I can barely see apps in the background, but when i press the screen nothing happens. I'm trying a system restore now, but i don't think thats it, as the reset logo and progress bar is lightly visible under the bright white screen. I guess this is a screen issue. I couldn't seem to find alot on any similar problems with a google search. Weird.

What's wrong with my iphone 4 touch screen??
Calling anyone who knows anything about iphones! My iphone 4 seems to be playing little tricks on me including, not responding to touch when say trying to unlock, or typing in formation or accessing an app. The left side of the screen seems to be more affected than the right and I noticed this when trying to select emails to delete (left side) but I can individually swipe to delete them (right side). I have tried rebooting and this did not improve the situation.
Apple want to charge me 25 quid just to speak to someone online?! Something I cannot afford! Any ideas would be great - I am hoping it is because I haven't updated to IoS 6 yet!! #frustratingiphone!
Thank you for any light / help / guidance you can give me!!!

What's wrong with my iPhone 5s touch screen?
Attached a video that demonstrates a problem with my iPhone 5s: http://youtu.be/zOnQsrdgURI
Tried restoring - didn't work.
Tried disabling Touch ID - didn't work.
Tried removing the case and the screen protector - didn't work.
Any suggestions other then going to an Apple Genius Bar? (don't have apple retail stores where I live)That is not normal if you barley got the phone from Apple go to an apple store and do an exchange do not let them trick you and let them give you a swap do a whole brand new iphone exchange if you bought it from a carrier call them because you have 14 days for an exchange or go to the store you bought it from and let them know but in the US if you bought it from a carrier we have 14 days for an exchange if you bought it from apple you have 30 days

When was the last time you vacuumed out/cleared out the dust, lint and dirt for. all of your iMac's vents, ports and slots?
You have to power down your iMac, disconnect everything and unplug your iMac.
Use either a small electronics vacuum or a standard vacuum with hose and crevice tool attachment and slowly and carefully vacuum out all of the various vents, slots and ports around your iMac.
Then, reconnect everything, startup your iMac. Download and install iStat Pro or iStat Menus temperature monitor and report your iMac's new temperatures here.
If this turns out to be a GPU issue, this may solve the issue or it maybe too late and the GPU is damaged or failing and you may have to bring your iMac in to Apple for diagnosis and repair/replacement service. -
What is wrong with my iPad (4th Gen) screen?
Hi all,
My iPad 4th gen screen has stopped working.
It just shows a white fuzzy screen with a thick grey bar across the screen. I have done some percussive therapy (hitting the back) and the thick bar changed colour but other than that nothing happens. I have tried a restore as well but still no luck!
I have trawled through google and some of the ofrums here but i cant find anything about this. Does anyone have any ideas? It has just ran out of warranty as well.
ZackTry this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Satellite L305D-S5892 - Frame rate is low and YouTube videos get stuck
Well here is the deal I had some problems with my Satellite l305d-s5892 so I ended up using a Windows Vista copy to format it so I can use it again.
But I play world of warcraft and the frame rate is much lower now so im guessing that there are some configurations or something missing. I mean I can get the drivers and all from the website and I got the video drivers installed. Ik I dont kwnnowo if there are some other relevants drivers I have to put or something and some thng else you tube videos get momentary stuck every now and then but the sound keeps going and then the videos just catch up whit the sound.
If some one can help me or knows a beginers guide so I can properly configure my lap top I would realy aprciate ir thanksHello
As Akuma said can you notice yellow exclamation marks in device manager?
Its also important that you install the chipset driver and all other drives and not only the display driver. All what you need you can find on the Toshiba website.
Check this!!!
Furthermore make sure that you have all Windows updates installed.
Alternative you can use the Toshiba recovery disk. It contains already all drivers for your system and you can get back factory settings in few minutes. :)

What is wrong with the edit biling info screen. it cannot verify my address. i triple check my address info
and it is correct.Use the email form > Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us

What is wrong with the screen stays black
what is wrong with the iPod if the screen stays black and won't turn on, but is fully charged.
Could be one of the two:
1. Device sleep - Press and hold power button for six seconds and see if that wakes up the unit
2. Device freeze - press and hold the power and home button for few seconds till Apple logo is seen.
Hope this helps! -
What's wrong with my browsers?
When i first got my macbook the internet was going really slow but then i changed the dns server to 4.2.2.2 and sometimes change it to 4.2.2.1 and the internet got better but now my browsers are acting funny.
One moment i'm surfing webpages with safari or firefox.... Chatting with AdiumX or MS Messenger... and suddenly it just stops... Msn is getting time-out's, Safari says I'm not connected.
But Airport sais it is still connected to my wireless network (with all the black bar's filled). It has valid IP adress etc, But everywhere I want to go on the internet it sais I'm not connected.
When I disconnect the airport en let it reconnect with my wireless network, the connection is fine.
how can i fix this?Most users shouldn't be manually entering DNS addresses, and those DNS addresses you mention probably aren't intended for end users. Is Level3 your ISP?
That doesn't answer 'what's wrong with my browsers?', but a good start would be to configure your network according to your ISP's instructions. If you have DNS problems then, you might try using OpenDNS. -
What's wrong with networking since Leopard?
Hi,
I'm with Mac since years. I was a PC User once and spent hours with all kinds of network troubles. What convinced me with Mac right in the beginning was easy networking: It just worked!
But since Leopard things got worse: I have several MBP's, iMacs, Airport Extreme's and Airport Express's at different places which I installed, and I face the same problems at EVERY place:
- I can't connect to AExtreme for several reasons: timeout, security incompatibility, ...
- Sometimes only two Macs are allowed to connect to one AExtreme
- Airport doesn't find Aiport or any other networks for minutes
- After connecting to the router, can't get an IP (self-assigned IP only) - other PCs get an IP.
- Aiport Extreme crashes (yellow blinking)
- connection loss (even when AExtreme is very close)
Now I know about networking, about configuration, I've done this for years. Whatever I do, problems disappear and appear again, at different times, at different places with different hardware.
What is wrong with Leopard? Such problems remind me of times with Windows98 and stuff like that.What's wrong with networking since Leopard?
on my network and many i have setup there have been no problems with leopard. However there are always teething problems with new operating systems. Thankfully with leopard only a tiny percentage of users experience technical difficulties.
can't connect to AExtreme for several reasons: timeout, security incompatibility,
is it set to use WPA/WPA2
Airport doesn't find Aiport or any other networks for minutes
sometimes my macbook pro takes a while to show up any networks if there are lots in the area this is because it is scanning them all.
After connecting to the router, can't get an IP (self-assigned IP only) - other PCs get an IP.
What kind of router are you using? What happens if you powercycle the router?
# Aiport Extreme crashes (yellow blinking)
# connection loss (even when AExtreme is very close)

What's Wrong with My Computer?
I have a G5 desktop computer, I believe it's referred to as a "Power Mac." My mom purchased it some years ago, I think in late 2005 shortly after this particular model was on the market.
Info is:
Version 10.5.8
Processor 4 x 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5
Memory 4.5 GB DDR2 SDRAM
Hard Drive 240 GB (127 GB unused/available)
My mother wasn't using this computer for many years, and my 13" Macbook was giving me trouble, so she gave this one to me. It's all been great (she maxed out the memory and hard drive space when she bought it, even though it is outdated and insignificant compared to current models), except for one little thing... Browsing the internet is usually fine when it's only one window, but not always. However, it is almost a guarantee that while trying to operate multiple windows and trying to play a video, Safari will crash. And not just once in awhile. I'm talking about on a daily basis. During regular offline computer use, like Photoshop or iTunes, the computer will sometimes grey over (as if someone put a fairly thick grey film over the entire screen), and tell me I have to restart the computer. So what's wrong with it? I presume it is a physical issue (failing memory, mother board, etc.), but what?Your computer is not remotely "maxed out" with RAM.
You're describing a G5 Quad like mine (though mine was built in June of 2006), and maxed out means having 16 GB of RAM installed, like mine has.

That's called a Kernel Panic, and, yes, it is most often caused by hardware problems, such as bad RAM or mismatched RAM. I can't imagine how you get to 4.5 GB of RAM without exponentially increasing the risk of mismatched RAM.
RAM has to be installed in matched pairs, starting from the center slots and spreading outward: 4*3*2*1*1*2*3*4
On the other hand, my own personal experience has led me to conclude that Safari is a piece of cr@p. It causes problems just being active in the background, causing other applications to fail.
Check your RAM carefully, starting with just one pair of matched RAM sticks in the two center slots, then adding one pair at a time. Check your hard disk with Apple's Disk Utility.
The kernel panics can be caused by a damaged directory too, so if you own Disk Warrior, run it. If you don't own DiskWarrior, at least Repair Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility and use Verify Disk/Repair Disk with it.
I'd also recommend downloading and installing Applejack and run it according to the instructions.
Good luck.

What's wrong with my iPod's Cover Flow??
I have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen, 32Gb, and recently updated to IOS 5.
Since then, the iPod's cover flow feature is extremely slow, doesn't flow smoothly, and crashes after a few (15-20) seconds.
Today I noted something else: some album covers appear pixelated and blurry, even though HD. Those covers looked just fine until now.
As a side note, I have in use 30 of the 32 Gb (that's a lot of music, I know). Could this be related? I never had those problems before IOS 5, though.
What's wrong with my iPod?
Thanks for your help!so as I see it people with this problem have 3 options
- Make all of your album art a maximum of 500X500 pixels
- Wait for an IOS update that fixes the problem
- Scrap ipods and buy another brand of music player
Using photoshop to do it with, it took me about an hour to resize, change, and resync all of my 1400 songs(86 albums)
