MBP screen flashes green fluo randomly?

Hello

I have a MacBook Pro (15 inch, mid-2012) that I've been to * and return with (several dead HD which Apple has replaced)...

For the past year, I have been making this strange green 'flash' on screen every moment again. It seems to happen randomly, that I won't necessarily do something specific, so I wonder if anyone knows what this could be and whether or not it's serious. Often, it covers most of the graphics and lasts for a fraction of a second.

I don't think it's HD related b/c, was going on * before * the last HD replacement...

Any other ideas / suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

  • Satellite C660 - right of the screen will flash green

    Hey, I wonder if someone can help me - the screen on my satellite C660, only about two months old, started flashing green stripes a couple of days after I set the screen forward slightly. Nothing has got rid of him, and whenever the screen is moved it flickers more strongly or turns into a solid green Strip.

    I thought that this could be a problem where the screen connects to the computer, but I looked around the hinges and it seem not to be the son of cowards. I have not yet contacted Toshiba because I'll have to call their support number UK since France, which will cost a bomb, wonder if anyone here had any ideas first? If it happened to someone else?

    Thank you!

    In my opinion, it is not so important if someone else the bonnet or not and that you should not waste your time waiting for responses.

    I put t know where you bought this laptop but every laptop purchased in Europe has guaranteed EMEA then please call authorized Toshiba service provider in the country where you live now and ask for help. You have the new laptop and if there are some hardware related question lets fix that.

    Addresses and telephone numbers of aspic all you can find on Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > find an ASP.

  • Now 23-d044 - installed MXM video card - HP Envy screen flashes red green blue black

    Hello

    I'm a 23-d044 I wanted to do the update/install video card instead of using the integrated graphics card.  I tried two different cards, a nVidia GeForce GT 540 m 2 GB and a part of HP AMD card #707804-002.  In each case the applied heat sink was part HP #694456-001. In each case, whenever I go back to the PC and it works, the screen flashes red, green, blue, black, white to infinity. I have read these and other forums indicating that this is a fault with the GPU, but I find that is unlikely given that I tried two different cards. I thought that maybe the MXM connection on the motherboard, but on the original motherboard power connector was defective, I have since replaced the motherboard (about 2 weeks ago) with the same part number. I downloaded both the AMD and nVidia drivers the most recent for each card (while running the integrated graphics card), but not joy.  Anyone have any ideas?  Thanks in advance for the help!

    Sean

    Sean, I had the same problem too.  I finally thought to it.  Just above where the grafics card go is two connectors and one of them has a plug in there.  above the connectors, said uma_lvds, the other says MXM_LVDS.  Swap the power cord of the uma_lvds to the mxm_lvds.  This will fix the problem and you will be running.

  • Dell XPS 420 not go, bright, flashing orange light orange on the motherboard, flashing green light behind USB on motherboard

    I am running Windows 7 on my XPS 420, I had updated the power supply two years back and installed extra ram and an SSD, a few months ago.

    I quit the PC last night, normally

    This morning, it is not booting, the light was blinking orange, including the connected mouse was blinking also.

    I decided to open it and check all connections; everything went well on the inside.  Before you open the PC, I unplugged all the extras connected like mouse, etc.

    The computer has actually started up normally and when I plugged the monitor it looked ordinary, he had reached the Windows login screen.

    HOWEVER, when I plugged the first rear USB component, the computer off and started to blink.

    I'm not sure what the problem is here.  My motherboard is fried?  I don't think it's the power supply from the computer DID resume after I noticed the blinking yellow light.  I wonder if the flashing of the earlier mouse and/or the flashing green on the back (inside the PC) of USB port average something else.

    Any advice is greatly appreciated

    First check that all the cables for power and data are correctly connected, including the cables on the front panel.

    No difference and if you're comfortable working around computers, you can try the following:

    Note: The only 100% POWER supply test method, is to install a known working power.

    Unplug the power cord, hold the power button in for about 15-20 seconds, open the case, disconnect the power connector 24-pin motherboard and jumping the Green wire to one of the black wires, plug in the power cord and the power of the system, if the PSU, case fans and disk hard drive performance then the power supply can be good.

    Note: Do not remove the wires from the plug, use a small piece of wire or a paper clip as a rider.

    Extract supply and the system still does not work, yet once remove the power cord, hold button power in a few seconds to discharge residual power, reconnect the connector 24 pin to the motherboard.

    Remove any PCI video card [as appropriate], memory cards, all the devices, unplug data cables and power to all readers, check that the cable from the front panel is connected to the motherboard, without anything else connected to the system, reconnect the power cable and power the system on.

    If there is no difference in the diagnostic lights, of "Beep" codes and/or the indication of the LED on the power button, it would seem that the motherboard is dead and/or the processor and the only method I know to check a processor is perhaps install a compatible work PC, or use a known job processing.

  • Dell Latitude D600 display flashing (horizontal lines randomly)

    Hi all.

    I have a Dell Latitude D600 and at random times display signal with horizontal lines. I can sometimes it agitate gently turning the LCD and it, wavers. I did some research before and thought that the problem would be the video cable of flex, which I ordered and installed, but it still flashes. The LCD looks aesthetically perfect, but also of the inverter. The backlight of the display is not flickering, rather there are white lines that flicker at random, so I don't think it is the inverter.

    I hung it via VGA to an external machine and only laptop suffered the flick so I think that the graphics card is fine.

    Here is a video on what I'm talking about.

    I replaced the LCD and the power inverter (low priced together) and the screen flashes is no longer.

  • iMac screen flashes black in Photoshop CC

    Hello

    I am posting this as well in CC Adobe and Apple forums as I do not know where the problem lies, but I would really appreciate this problem:

    I use Adobe apps on an iMac CC brand new (still in time to get the full refund). If you use Photoshop CC (2015.5) the entire screen (not only the Photoshop window) goes black for about half a second when any icon tool exceeding a certain size of pixel passes of the tool to the pointer icon icon or vice versa.

    This happens for example when the icon of the fate of the area of the image on the menus or the dashboard or window, or when it comes in and out of the right click menu change brush size. Any situation when running the tool pointer or pointer tool. It does not always happen, but it happens most of the time, maybe the type of pointer movement has something to do with it, well it happens with fast or slow transitions.

    The problem only occurs when the brush is superior to certain dimensions - never when it is less than the critical size. The critical size may vary depending on whether the Photoshop was opened for a while or just launched (I don't know too much about). There is also an interaction with the hardness of the tool.

    Thus, for example:

    On the blur to 0% hardness tool, the screen flashes black when will top 80 pixels-never less than size. 100% hardness, it flashes from 64 pixels. Same for the Brush tool, Eraser, etc. I think it happens with any appreciable tool (don't have not tried them all).

    I use a Wacom Intuos PS and the Magic Mouse from Apple. The problem occurs at the same time if they are both connected together or separately.

    The problem occurs even when Photoshop is the only application running.

    Please help, because it is almost unusable now.

    Specifications of the computer:

    iMac, retina 4 k, 21, 5-inch

    Processor: Intel Core i5 to 3.1 GHz

    Memory: 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3

    Graphics card: Intel Pro Iris Graphics 6200 1536 MB

    The Photoshop memory usage is set to default values:

    4500MB (70% of available memory)

    4 levels of cache

    Tile size 1024K cache

    I just downloaded and tried the oldest version of Photoshop - CS6 - available through my driver's license and the problem is exactly the same, this is not limited to a particular version of the CC in Photoshop.

  • MacBook Pro with the Retina Display 2015 screen goes green? Green tint and mist?

    Hello world

    I had this problem for quite a while now. My new Macbook Pro has worked great for a year. Now, after several updates which have me Safari freezes and crashes, and saw that the supported, there is a new problem.

    Whenever I open my Macbook to sleep or completely turn it on, it has a green tint / haze to it. The above is green, the sides of the screen are green. However, it disappears after 10 minutes. At the moment it is perfectly fine. The screen is the perfect color, it should be.

    Why does this happen?

    I have not dropped, spilled coffee or something like that. Sometimes I slide it clean with a cloth Microfiber, but very gently.

  • Hi, my screen flashes during playback of movies from Netflix

    Hi, my screen flashes during playback of movies from Netflix. It happens with other applications or when I play DVD. It begins in about 5 seconds in movies and it happens about every 4-5 seconds. The screen turns white for about a second, then it shows some horizontal lines, and it goes back to normal. And after a few seconds, he begins anew. I also noticed it always happen when I move my mouse during playback of a movie at Netflix.

    My PC is HP Pavilion 17 inch. I3 Haswel processor and Intel graphics card built-in. 8.1 to win

    I've updated all the drivers, but nothing helped.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Figured out. Change refresh rate of 60 Hz 40 Hz p p and it solved the problem.

    BTW, HP helpdesk is completely useless... He does not call them – at least their 'free' in India support is completely incompetent.

  • Control LCD screen flashes on and outside

    Hello
    I have a 6 yr old HP w15e LCD monitor, it is quite old. But recently, it's showing strange things. Whenever I turn on the power to the monitor with or without the CPU video input, continuous screen blinking on and outside (I think there are two seconds between the two slot and power off).
    I tried different power cables, but still screen flashing. So help me to record this thing.
    Thank you.

    Hello @shan678,

    I understand that your w15e HP LCD monitor continues to blink off and off and you seek help to fix. I provided you with a few steps, you can try below:

    Step 1. Unplug the power cord at the back of the screen and the wall
    Step 2. Press and hold the power button for at least a minute
    Step 3. Plug the power cable in the monitor, and then to the wall outlet (not a power bar or surge protector)
    Step 4. Press the Menu button on the monitor
    Step 5. Navigate to the factory reset option and select

    If the steps above did not resolve your issue, you can try the monitor on a computer or other device to see if the problem persists. If not I think it would be preferable that you contact HP Support for service options.

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Equium L40 10 X flashing green power light

    Hi guys,.

    I have an old Equium L40 that I haven't used in a while.

    Now when I plug the power adapter into the power green led just blinks constantly.
    I checked the blink codes, but I can't find one for mine. It simply turns green for a second then off.
    Then green for a second then off the coast and that constantly.

    I tried to remove the battery for a few minutes and then hold the power button for a minute, but I just get the same result. The adapter is one that came with the laptop and as far as I can tell works very well.

    Other ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you guys!

    Hello

    Indicator power (DC IN) indicates the status of the power supply with the power adapter plugged.
    (Without flashing) Green means supply and the computer is turned on.
    The power light on the front of the computer lights green when the computer is turned on.
    Flashing orange indicates power to the computer while the laptop is in mode 'sleep'.

    Unfortunately, the DC IN green flashing red state looks like a hardware problem.
    Probably the power supplied to the laptop is abnormal or there are a few problems with electronic power on the motherboard.

    By the way: Please check the memory modules live. Blow an and test the device using that one module in each slot. Check the two modules.
    A few years ago, a friend of mine had some problems with the laptop. The flashing light indicates the issue of RAM
