iBook G4 with the odd screen issue

I use my iBook G4 since 2008, os x 10.4.11 and never had any problems with it. Last year, I was ready to use it and when I turned it on, the screen was 'weird' (as you can see in the photo below):

There are still all the sounds while starting up, but after the logo, it shows a pure blue screen and nothing else happens. I tried to boot with a CD of Ubuntu and even if it works, the screen is divided in two, and it is difficult to see what is on the screen (some letters looks like stuff and big white squares). I can still access all my files on it and even play music/videos I have here, but using it like that, it starts to get hot and the screen worsens. Has tried to buy a cable for the screen external but also got no results.

No idea of what the problem is, or if there is a way to fix it? I have no installation CD because it came from Japan as a gift from someone who bought to another person.

Thank you.

Honestly, given the current value of this machine, not worth fixing.

  • How to use transfer windows for xp to xp. When I plug usb computers are delivered to the top with the same screen and when I try to use the transfer to the new computer, it just said information gathering and sits for hours

    How to use transfer windows for xp to xp.  When I plug usb computers are delivered to the top with the same screen and when I try to use the transfer to the new computer, it just said information gathering and sits for hours

    Hello, welcome.

    The process is automatic and the maximum transfer rate should be about 20 GB/HR. If the process crashes during that long of a time, it's probably because of something internal rather something you're doing wrong.
    For reference purposes, I included this link. It goes into the details of the migration from XP to Vista (and the basic steps you follow). The instructions are for migrating to Vista via the network, but you can easily follow the steps and choose a different option for your specific installation.
    For both machines, I recommend you to prepare for the transfer using the following procedure:
    1. click on START > run
    2 type "msconfig" (without the quotes) and press enter
    3. go to the "Startup" tab and uncheck all the entries displayed
    4. click on 'Apply' at the bottom right
    DO NOT RESTART YOUR COMPUTER AGAIN
    5. click on START > run
    6. Type "cmd" (without the quotes). Right-click on the result at the top of the menu START and select 'run as administrator '.
    7. type chkdsk /r and press enter
    8 allow the system to attempt disassembly of the volume
    9. allow the system to plan restarting
    10. restart your computer
    11 let checkdisk analyze the file system on your hard drive
    12. Once completed, perform the same steps on the other machine
    13. Once completed, repeat the transfer

  • I've had several accidents with the blue screen noting CRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    Hello.

    Here are some files dump of my crashes: http://cid-5cfec8d823e42bd3.office.live.com/browse.aspx/.Documents

    Here's what happens:

    Since June, I've had several accidents with the blue screen noting CRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (Yes, CRQL, no IRQL level), and they are producing at closer intervals. I also notice some changes of office and some sounds to open files that are not have happened before. I run antivirus and malware and found nothing. I did a disk cleanup and defragmentation.

    I also tried to install via Windows updates and everything seems to date. I ran Windows Memory Diagnostic tool, and it found no errors. I ran Windows Startup Repair and got the following note:

    Root Cause found.

    Unknown bug control: one error checking.

    Parameters = 0 x 0, 0x817dc32c, 0x820e8114, 0 x 0.

    After the last crash, I got a message saying that Windows is aware of the problem and trying to fix it. Any ideas?


    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hello

    Uninstall Faultwire and look for the codes manually as needed. The link to troubleshooting blue screen
    page will show you how to get them.

    How old is the system? A real computer store (not the leeks and glances at a Best Buy or other large surfaces)
    Stores) can help to give a proper diagnosis of the machine.

    You can use Safe Mode - repeatedly tap F8 as you start - use to back up your data in a redundant
    way off the machine. Then re-install Windows that "might" help if the problem is software partner.
    Of course, you will need to reinstall your programs and restore the data in the machine.

    Although there are a large number of errors there could be a cause for all. Try to remove ALL power and
    reinstall all the memory cards and cables (at both ends, when possible) - actually delete and replace.
    do not just tight. Clean the dust bunnies (of course those who are for a PC - for a laptop to ensure that)
    the vents are clear). Try using a small fan blowing through the vents to see if heat is a problem.

    Update key drivers - display/video, NETWORK card and WiFi (network), sound (do not forget to check the sound card drivers
    What update because they will often rollback then repeat the installation until the correct version appears), modem
    and all of the other major features, you could have as 3rd party mouse or keyboard.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
    each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
    version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
    video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
    cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
    own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
    updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
    because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
    pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
    This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
    questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
    manually if you wish.

    NOTE: Often restore audio drivers to check the version after installing and restarting is

  • Computer is stuck on "Microsoft Corporation" logo with the on-screen scroll bar, a green.

    Hello

    I had difficulties to get my computer past the "Microsoft Corporation" logo with the on-screen scroll bar, a green one.

    I searched the forum and found others who have had this problem. I tried some of their proposals, but eventually Windows does not run on my PC.

    It seemed a moment have solved the problem, but my AVG security had been removed. When I arrived the AVG security working properly my computer starts a few times more, but now I'm right back where I started.

    Is it possible for me to turn this thing on, but not in Mode 'Safe '? I am sick and tired of trying to connect, or try to understand this problem.

    I wish I could just take my computer to where I bought it and get my money back. Unfortunately, the warranty period is exhausted on my PC, so I'm stuck with it.

    I use Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit, I don't know if that makes a difference?

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  • Problems with the touch screen of HP all-in-One after upgrading Windows

    I recently updated my version of Windows (64-bit) with system updates and then a full version updated to version 8.0 version 8.1.  After the update is complete, I started to experience a strange problem with the touch screen on my HP Envy Rove.  The screen would flash repeatedly one set of points in the right lower quadrant of the screen as if the simulation random screen button.  There is no way to stop this.  If the screen on a keyboard was pulled up, letters in the place of the flashes would be broadcast in the fields on the screen.

    The only way to stop the flashes of screen has been to go into the Device Manager and disable the HID-Compliant device driver.  It stopped (system generated keys) flashes, but also disabled my touch screen input.  So now the system is usable, but without the benefit of the touchscreen.

    Here is the information on the driver:

    HID-Compliant device

    Date: 21/06/2006

    Version: 6.2.9200.16851

    (input.inf)

    I tried updating the driver, but this seems to be the latest version available.  Go back to the previous version of the driver, could solve the problem, but I could not locate on the support web site.

    Any suggestions on how to solve this problem and re-enable the ability of my touch screen?

    Hello

    Downloaded drivers from the manufacturer will be the most tested and up to date available. The best place to download a driver is directly from the manufacturer of the equipment.

    So I suggest you to install the driver that is available on the HP website for your model.

  • Issue with the brightness screen Dell E6530

    Hello

    I have E6530 laptop with Windows 8.1. I have a problem with the brightness of the screen. Screen's brightness automatically almost always up and down adjustment. Not much, but enough that I noticed it and that is worrying. Is not serious if it is plugged or using the battery.

    I tried to disable the ambient light sensor (cannot find any setting in the bios for this) and I also disabled Windows 8.1 Adaptive brightness.

    Any ideas?

    I also noticed this. Especially when I change between a white and black interface, (Internet and WinAmp browser) that the screen automatically adjusts the brightness of the backlight. And I agree with that it is a little annoying because simply a difference worth noting.

    Edit:

    So I lived the settings in the control panel of Intel, and by disabling the option Display Power Saving Technology, it seemed to stop constant backlight lighting.

  • Starting problem with the gray screen on iMac

    Hello everyone

    I'm a bit puzzled with a problem I'm having with my iMac 27 "a model late 2009, bought in early 2010, I had built at the time with 8 GB ram, 2 TB HD and fastest i7 Quad core processor available at the time.

    I'm running El Capitan, and all wise OS is perfectly up to date.

    The other week, after a systematic restart, I have a gray screen and little else.  Another reboot and everything was "normal", so I did not concern me unduly.

    Today, after that the Mac had been idle for a time during a call, the screen fell asleep as usual (I do not SLEEP the computer itself), but during his return and touch the SPACEBAR and key "ESC", the screen remains black.

    So I made a forced shutdown and restart.

    I get the screen gray and normal startup (no other sounds) chime followed by the apple logo and the startup progress bar.  He gets to halfway through the long, and then instead of bring to the top of the login page, it's just going to a gray screen Uni.

    So I restarted in safe mode, OK and ran disk utility a couple of times - at the first crossing, he noted, there a problem with the map of partition which can cause problems starting, but on the second passes and the following, everything has been noted to be OK - and the SMART status of disk has been verified.

    After a reboot - the same question as above - of carillon, gray screen with the apple logo, progress bar and then just a gray screen.  I did another secure boot and re-run of disk utility, rebooted into recovery mode and run disk utility.  And again, no problems reported.

    Another reboot and the issue was always there.

    So this time I rebooted into recovery again mode and downloaded a new installation of El Capitan.

    Unfortunately, there is no set - it is always start on a gray screen after the startup chime, the apple logo and progress bar.

    I have also removed all my account account startup items and disconnected all USB devices.

    I'm a bit lost for what to do next to be honest!

    Is there anything else I can do software wise, at home, or is it time for the repair material re shop perhaps?

    Thank you very much for your words of wisdom and support

    Kind regards

    John... :-)

    John here again: :-)

    Just a quick update which may help to determine what the problem is: I restarted in safe mode, after the reinstallation of the operating system was unable to initialize properly - grey screen again.

    However, as I have a home network, I found that I can not connect on the network with my MacBook Pro to the iMac, see all my files user on the iMac and even copy them across to the MacBook Pro with no problems.

    Everything on the iMac is saved via Time Machine on a Western Digital Firewire HD 3to.

    I also have uncompressed manual 'straight' copies of my music, movies, documents folders, etc, for an old time Capsule, currently acting as a bridge to my ethernet network wireless, and provide additional backup for those critical files - my music for example is ripped 350 odd CD, all legally purchased in ALAC on iTunes on the iMac - which represents a couple of months of work... lol... no way I want to lose that!

    So I'm a bit of a loss.  Disk utility reported no problem with the drive... I can boot into safe mode and recovery, but normal mode 'mode '... I always get the chime, the screen with apple logo and progress of the gray bar, then goes to just a gray screen instead of the login page.

    Help!

    My beloved Einstein had a hiccup!

Nothing the laptop will start to switch between windows and opening and closing of the things.

  • GE force 314.22 video driver with the new office issue

    I bought my desire Phoenix h9-1340 t nine at HP in January.  A month and a half ago, I've updated the video driver from Nvidia Web site and the video card no longer works correctly.  I contacted the technical support.  They had me turn off all my Windows drivers and had run me the computer in selective startup.  The video card, then worked, and they said that the problem has been resolved.  I told them that this doesn't seem to be a solution for me, so they sent me a new video card.  That has not fixed the problem.  I was told to return the pc to HP for a repair.  I just returned it today and I saw that the only thing they did was to replace the video card again.  I contacted HP and they said that the problem was with Nvidia driver and told me to only update the video driver through HP.  I recorded with Nvidia and posted my problem.  The reaction was unanimous and the issue lied with the configuration with my computer not driver Nvidia.  Could someone please help me with this problem?

    Hello new pinktoe.

    If using Selective startup allowed pilots to work properly then there must be something in this list cause you problems.  You need to determine what exactly is causing the problem.  I would suggest trying the following.

    1. Press Windows + X key combination.
    2. Select 'run '.
    3. Type "msconfig" and press ENTER.
    4. Start without services or startup items using Selective startup.  However, only select one.
    5. Save the changes and reboot the laptop.
    6. If the problem persists, return to msconfig and reactivate the disabled item.  Disable the other element, save your changes and restart again to verify that the question doesn't disappear indeed with this option.

    If the problem disappears when disable services that you will want to try the following.

    1. Select the Services tab.
    2. Check the box "hide all Microsoft services" at the bottom left.
    3. Disable all services.
    4. Re-enable the first services of 5-10, save the changes and restart the computer.
    5. If the problem returns then you know that this is one of these services and you can always disable the services activated until you find the culprit.
    6. Repeat if necessary until the offender is found.
    7. Display the result.

    If the problem disappears to disable startup items, you will need to repeat the same process.

    Once you determine what item (s) is causing the issue make sure to display the result.

    Nice day!
