• Presario V5002ea random reboot and scrambled screen

  Hello

  I ahd my Presario V5002ea for about 4 years with no problems at all. I started it this morning and everything was fine until it restarts all of a sudden. When the computer reboots, it seemed fine until the scrambled screen (vertical lines in a blue-gray) and finally the system rebooted again. This seems to be a hardware fault possible for me that it happens randomly.

  I can't start in safe mode without reboot or run any form of diagnosis. Any ideas as to what the problem may be and it will be fixable or is it time for a new laptop?

  Well, it seems that the video chip on the motherboard has gone bad. If you are handy with a screwdriver, it's too cheap to get a replacement motherboard (maybe $100) but it is not something to try as your first foray in laptop repair. Have a shop do the replacement would cost about $200-300, which approximates the cost of a new phone.  Try an external monitor, but if it's rebooting it is not likely to be just the screen of the control panel and a replacement screen Panel is at roughly the same cost for a replacement motherboard, anyway ($100 for DIY) and about $175-200 for a workshop, parts and labor. Bad memory can also cause the symptoms you describe, then you can also try the new memory or simply remove each module in turn and try each module in each location. 4 years is a pretty good life for a laptop, believe it or not. Newer models are so fast and cool you can't miss anyway.

• iPhone 4 has a scrambled screen. Can I enter remote access code?

  I gave my child my iPhone 4 when I upgraded. He had the newest iOS available for the 4, which I think was 7.1.2 or something close. before I gave it to her, I restored to factory settings and deleted all the files. She created a new password and it used for music and photos. She doesn't have it synced to a device or stored in iCloud. It worked perfectly when I gave it to her. A few days earlier, she dropped and now the screen is scrambled and bring up the screen to enter the access code. I plugged it to my MacBook to see if I could get behind the scramble but I just got a message that the photos cannot be downloaded without unlocking the device.

  - SO my question is, is it possible to enter this access code other than to type in the phone itself? Some behind the scenes where I can enter the code and go to the photos and music living in the unit? This phone has a removable SIM card.

  Grateful for any help you can give me.

  No, it isn't.

  I hope that "photos and music living in the unit" were backed up when the iPhone was iTunes or iCloud.  If not, the only hope would be to take the iPhone to an Apple Store or Service Center authorized Apple and determine if it is fixable (very unlikely, in my opinion).  If it's fixable, great.  If this is not the case, the material on the iPhone is lost.  (Note bought from iTunes music can be re-downloaded iTunes on a computer or an iOS device different.)

  For later use, the iPhone should never be the main housing for music not bought in iTunes.  Also, of course, photos taken on an iPhone that are worth saving must be saved.

• Tecra M2 scrambled screen

  I have a Tecra M2 where the screen blurred suddenly. I tried to reinstall www.nvidia.com nvidia drivers and also toshiba drivers, but they may fail to install (or the laptop fails during install).

  The screen is blurred even to the password of the BIOS at startup, so this leads me to believe that there is not drivers, even if by Remote Desktop connection I see a problem with the nvidia display driver.

  The first time that this has happened, I removed the battery and all power for a few minutes, after which it was OK for another 24 hours or more. The second time it happens seems to be permanent.

  I also removed the cards of memory (two, one by one) and the screen is scrambled again on the BIOS password.

  Can someone tell me how to fix?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  According to your description, I assume that your display is faulty.

  Check to make sure with external display. If the image on the external display is OK, it's certainly not because of the graphics card, but the display.

• Scrambled screen & colors is not consistent on satellite M40X-230

  Hi, I have a M40X-230, a few weeks ago, I started to see a garbled screen where colours were not consistent and the screen looked as if she was chopped vertically in 3 and all three parts were in and out of the other mixture.

  It lasted about 10-15 minutes and he persisted through reboot. However, this would not happen whenever the machine has been used. After another week or so when the machine is started, even the Toshiba splash screen is cut as described above, this continues when the config in the BIOS (press F12 at startup).

  The machine is able to boot in safe mode, but the same problem occurs and when an external monitor is attached the problem is visible on the attached screen as well.

  Anyone seen this before? All the tips, I think it's my graphics card or perhaps the LCD, but really not sure.

  Hi mate,

  This sounds like a hardware malfunction cleary. If you already have the symptoms to the toshiba logo, then I would recommend you to contact emergency an ASP for a checkup of material because this error cannot be resolved with an update of the bios/software.

  Hi Chris,

  1. What is the Biostar mother board model number?

  2. What are the specifications of onboard graphics card?

  3. have you updated the BIOS and drivers from the chipset?

  Check if the Biostar mother board model is compatible with Windows 8 by clicking on the link.

  Since you mentioned the problem on different versions of Windows 8. Either the card mother or graphics card is perhaps not compatible with Windows 8, or you must update the BIOS and drivers from the chipset. Contact the motherboard manufacturer support to improve the assistance on the update of the BIOS.

  Warning of the BIOS:

  BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  If the problem persists, you will need to update your graphics card. For more information, see supported by motherboard Biostar.

• Why my screen turns "Purple" and scrambled?

  My MacBook Pro Mid 2010 15 "screen blurs and turns purple.  It seems that it does only when I copy large amounts of data (several RAW photos) to move... Why is this happening?

  Don't know from the outset, however there are a few things you can do... try zapping the pram (computer restarts, hold down the Apple, Option, P, and R keys for 3 chimes) then let go... reset the SMC... Stop computer, use adapter, left side of the keyboard hold down the shift, control, Option, and power button for 30 seconds then let go go and press the highlight power is a recent problem, or is it for some time. I don't know what OS you have so can't help you much, also, if there is a recall program for your model and year of Macbook pro... oh sorry, looks like it's over... darnit... you might want to book an appointment at your local Genius Bar and take it for a health check

  good luck to you

• PowerBook G4 aluminum screen rendering problems

  Hello. I use an old PowerBook G4 aluminum 15 " only for some older programs that I still have, the specs are 1.33 GHz, 1 GB DDR SDRAM, an A1095 model (I think). It is currently running OS 10.4.11 Tiger.

  I am having some problems with the rendering of images, windows and icons on the screen. Sometimes, say if there is a background image, there will be pixels of a pure purple and light green color and other parts of these colors in pants plates, which will fade in-and-out in intensity. There will be a purple halo around the icons on the desktop, windows will have their underlined by violet title bar and the window itself will be celebrating also in purple. When I move these icons and windows, the outline of color moves with him - even for images with these pants patches. If I try to take a screenshot, it looks like it has taken to this effect, but when the screen goes back to normal, the images do not show fading.

  There is also a kind of shear horizontal wind that comes and goes, like a Photoshop effect, which seems to affect the whole screen - but it was did not so lately, moreso just the pants colors. The effect of shear wind or rosacea are affected by the position of the screen.

  These are intermittent problems that come and go, sometimes they may not arrive for a few hours or a few days, and sometimes they keep coming back and to stay - they also vary in intensity, sometimes just annoying, other times made the screen so bad that I have to do a hard shutdown with the power button.

  I have connected this laptop to a LED TV (via a HDMI DVI cable) when I had these patches scrambled on the computer laptop screen - and the TV screen shows very well, without tasks.

  After asking some Apple technicians, they thought it could be anything from:

  -l' screen is gone - but why would move fading when I move the images/icons/windows?

  -a bad laptop screen cable

  -video card - but she restores the fine screen image when connected to a TV?

  -memory on the logic board

  -poorly seated RAM (which I've deleted and reinstalled several times with the same results)

  Or a combination of these. They say this isn't a problem with HD.

  I understand that it is an old computer and an old technology, but I would still go back to normal, as everything else works fine. I know a guy who can replace the screen and the cable, as it seems a little tricky for me to do would not touch the video card. I'm wary about this fact, because it may be other things that causes this problem.

  In addition, the graphics card is an ATI Mobility Radeon 9700, model: ATY, RV360M11 - if it helps.

  Any ideas - thanks. (Please keep it relatively simple, if possible)

  As the connected HDTV does not have this effect, the problem is likely related to the PowerBook's display hardware.  If the problem was related to the graphics card (and 'upstream' material) or due to a software problem, waiting for HDTV to show the same effect at a time when the PowerBook display is the effect.

• Something I did accidentally (I think) caused the tabs in the window at the bottom of the screen to move to a sidebar arrangement. How can I restore it?

  How can I reset these tabs to appear at the bottom of the screen? I noticed that when I develop the width of the sidebar, all my desktop icons get scrambled to different places and I have to manually put them back where they were.

  You should be able to drag the Windows taskbar to its position at the bottom of the screen.
  Better is to lock the taskbar via the context menu to avoid such accidental movement.
