White light at bottom of MBP display

hi guys
i realise that theres a light coming from the bottom of the screen but my new MBP has a rather annoying thick white line at the bottom.
Does everyone have this light strip or is it just me?
cheers gang

Got it too - but as part of a 'fringe' going all the way round.

There is a small white light in the retina display on my ipad 3. Is this a dead pixel/light leak and how do I fix it? (Located at the bottom left side between home button and left corner)

Maybe this will show up better in green.

White light, no display or startup

So I'm deep into the trail of tears with my MBP 2.4 a1229. I very cleverly spilled some hot tea on my display which essentially killed it. 2/3 dead but everything else worked. I hooked it up to an external monitor and used it for a few days while waiting for replacement parts. No problems with the functionality of the computer at all. I ended up replacing the display and the keyboard. Upon reassembly there were a couple issues. The display worked and the keyboard worked but the computer wouldn't automatically sleep when you closed the cover. The screen would stay lit with it shut and just go to sleep after the designate time. I didn't think this was a huge issue and was just going to take it apart again once I got the time and see where i missed something. Well 4 days after the initial repair I put the computer to sleep before I went to bed and tried to wake it up in the morning. White light in the front is on but no one is home. I have powered it up and down a number of times. the drive spins up but there is nothing on the screen, no start up tone at all and no action other wise. I have tried an external monitor without success. I've reset PMU, changed seating and reseated RAM and tried with and without the battery. Researching i've found a number of issues that might fit like the logic board but the delay in the issue and the sleep problem make me wonder if it's not something simpler. Anyone think this might be some sort of hinge or sleep sensor issue? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Just as a note, I'm 4 hours from the nearest apple store so...

The sleep sensor consists of a reed switch and a magnet. The magnet should be on the edge of the display--you can usually find it with a paperclip. I think we may have the same Mac, and on mine the magnet is on the right side of the display a little over halfway up. When you close the lid, the reed switch would be in the corresponding spot under the top case near the optical drive.
My guess is that the reed switch could be malfunctioning or broken, especially since the computer wouldn't sleep when you closed the lid. Either that, or the magnet was missing or out of place. It's also possible its cable was damaged.

IMac g5 20" iSight no display loud fans white light

Hi,
Wondering if someone can help at all,
I've recently been given an iMac which needs repaired,
It seems certain parts have been stripped from it but want to make sure nothing else is wrong before buying replacements.
When I plug in it, I get the white light in the bottom right corner, fans go quite loud after around 5-10 seconds, and no display, also bad smell but think it could be because the previous owner smoked alot.
When I opened up the iMac, the hard-drive was missing and from what I can tell the hard-drive bay too, along with the ram & cd drive.
If I buy these will the mac work or is there another problem
iMac Details :
20-inch iMac G5 (iSight), 2.1 GHz
MA064xx/A
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, I've just managed to work my way through to the capacitors and they seem to be fine, looking at the soldering I would say they may have already been replaced on the logic board.
Anyone have any other ideas?
Would love to get this working again, Just need to replace what was stripped.
Thanks again

Won't boot - no display, solid white light. Fans spin up and gets loud.

Hi Everyone,
I have a Core Duo 20" that won't boot. The display won't light up, and the white light stays on the whole time. No chime. Fans start slow, but then gradually gets very loud after over the course of a few seconds.
I've began taking it apart. One suspect area is the DC/DC Inverter board. The POWER_GOOD line is only showing 0.16V. Most power supplies uses signaling between 3V and 5V so I'm suspecious of this 0.16V POWER_GOOD signal.
Can someone help chime in (no pun intended), or verify the POWER_GOOD signal voltage of an early 2006 iMac Core Duo (2105)?
THANK YOU!
Yue

By the way, I've done AppleOption+PR (from my LCII days!), and have removed the logic board battery, waited, reinserted and retired without success. Thanks!

IPod Photo 30GB: Screen flickers white light & No display.

The screen of my sister's ipod keeps on flickering with a plain white light, and there is still no display even though you plug it in an outlet or connect it to a pc.
Could this be a problem regarding the ipod's battery? Or something to do with the ipod's LCD? The ipod has been almost a year old. Hoping to hear from anyone...
Thanks Alot

First make sure you have the latest ipod updater 06-28-2006. it can be downloaded here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
Now with the ipod disconnected from the PC, put it in "Disk Mode" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651 open the ipod updater THEN connect the ipod to the PC and restore it. Restoring will wipe the ipod clean of everything and reinstall the ipods software.
If you have songs on the ipod that are not on the PC, Id suggest copying them to the computer before doing this if you can. If you need help doing that just say so and I or someone can step you thru it

My ATV is not displaying on my TV. My network is working, my software is up to date, ATV turns on and the white light does not flash. I have recycled all my equipment and it is still not responding. All the settings are correct as well. I am puzzled.

My ATV is suddenly not displaying on my TV. My network and Internet connections are all working, my software is up to date, the ATV white light is on steadily, all my settings are correct and I have power cycled all my equipment. Is there something more I can do, or is it possible my ATV needs repair?

it might
for my appletv to display on my tv I have to choose the hdmi port i have connected to as input source
I do that using my tv remote
how depend on the tv
before taking it back you should also test with another hdmi port and another tv (friend of family) to verify that it is indeed broken

Two small lights at bottom of display

I just got the 2.0ghz macbook alum. and after a day of using it I notice 2 sections of light "bleeding" from the bottom of the display. If I push the display back a little I can see two lights coming from the bezel at the bottom. They are about 2 inches apart and right in the middle of the bezel. Also located right between the left end of the display and the macbook logo.
Has anyone else seen this? Its dim but noticeable when viewing at an appropriate angle, but if i tilt it back just a bit, its just annoying.

Try restarting the computer, If that doesn’t help, try restarting the Dock.
Restarting the Dock
Applications > Utilities > Terminal
Launch Terminal.
Wait until the $ sign shows up.
Enter the command killall Dock
Press the enter key on the keyboard. Wait until the prompt shows up.
Quit Terminal.

Display only white light on my nano. No text.

Hello teacherella12,
I would be concerned too if my iPod nano was only showing a white screen. Following the Five Rs for iPod nano (4th generation) might help with this. You can find the steps at the following link (you can skip any steps you have already taken):

Did you have this problem? What should I do?

Sorry, its not an external display. I changed out THE display in my imac. When I hooked up my wife's display it was photo negative and the imac was color. I changed the Universal Settings and the external display went to color and the imac went to photo negative.

I do not have a micro usb cable.Is the only route to fixing this problem to download syestem software via my PC

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

MBP leaking light from bottom, orange patch

Seeing some leaking light from bottom of screen, with an light orange colour patch in the lower right corner. Is this normal? It's fairly annoying, is there something that my local Genius bar can do for me?
Yes. It is still under applecare.
Thanks!

Take it in. It should be corrected under warranty or AppleCare.

How to turn the pulsating white light off?

We bought a 1.25Ghz PowerMac G4 around July 2004. It was one of the last production units of that model. We also bought a 17" display at the same time (which is why I'm posting here even though I'm not sure of the exact model.)
The display in question has a 1440x900 resolution and does noyt have a separate power button. When the PM goes to sleep 9or the display) the white light pulsates, getting brighter and darker at regular intervals.
Is there any way to disable this light when either the display or the computer is asleep?

Hi
If you mean the lock screen then to remove this just do a few quicks taps the lock screen button and this will remove the play and pause button from the lock screen. Or alternatively you could try the following application:
