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

* not super sure about that, then you can see the Apple support page for how to do this...

  • TE2000 - screen turns on and off quickly

    Hi all

    My TE2000 was wrong flashing. The screen turns on and off quickly, sometimes every second quarter or so, it seems, so bad that I can hardly read the display. It's like someone is pressing the lid-switch very quickly.

    It happens sporadically. Sometimes it won't happen for a few minutes. Other times it flashes just once or twice, and still other times, it becomes unbearable and continues for minutes at a time.

    Someone has an idea of what could be the cause? I looked into the screens of replacement on e - bay and cannot find a lot...

    Hello

    Have you tried to check if this problem also appears on external monitor?
    Not? Try to do that! If it doesn't appear that on the screen TFT internal display then it s not a graphics chip malfunction but display or a failure of inverter FL.

    Looking for a second hand TFT screen?
    It seems that the laptop TE2000 supports a 14.1 "1024 x 768 TFT color screen
    Therefore, you can use each view of each laptop that supports the 14.1 screen size

    Good luck

  • Screen turns blue and restart Satellite C850D-11 q

    I bought a Satellite C850D-11 q runnings Windows 8 of Curry to the United Kingdom for my daughter just before Christmas - was a very good price £300 - however, she says that she will be surfing the internet and or do a variety of other tasks (no particular process does seem to be involved) and suddenly the screen turns blue and the computer will be closed and restart no reason apparent. He did at least 30 times per month.

    BSOD means that there is a hardware problem or software problem.
    The BSOD can be caused by high temperatures as well as problems of RAM.
    So it's not easy to say what is causing the BSOD.

    Make sure that this laptop is cooled properly.
    In addition, if the temperature is not the problem, try to recover the system using the recovery options described in the user manual and in the present document:

  • T420 screen turns off and turn it back on when the AC adapter / CC is attached or removed

    You are working on your machine, staring at the screen and the power failure... Yes - something quite common in these parts of the world... but no worries, the screen darkens slightly according to the diet plan and you hardly notice. Then, when the backup generator kicks in and the power is activated again, the brightness of the screen is back to your usual setting. Meanwhile, it is not a gene. Right?

    Well, that's what should happen... except that most of the time it doesn't work! Most of the time, the screen turns off and then turns on remove the main power and reinstall it. Note that this never happened once with T61 or T41p.

    Initially, I assumed it was because I had an external monitor attached... maybe it was to reconfigure something there? But then, it happens even without the external monitor. Then, I tried looking for the video driver updates... maybe this bug had been fixed to the... no luck there.

    So, finally, after having known this more often now, I thought I would get feedback from you all. Any advice?

    Check the Intel Media profile with the power settings. If a battery is "Maximum economy" mode then it should be in Exchange for 50 Hz to 60 Hz... Change it to balance or maximum Performance and see if its ever-changing from 50 Hz to 60 Hz...

    If all else fails, try updating the video driver, it might be a bug in the previous version of the driver.

  • After one minute of no activity my screen turns blue and I have to click back as a user. I want to prevent this.

    It started a couple of weeks and the only thing I can understand, is that it must have been associated with an auto update.  If I don't move my mouse or typing something in 60 seconds, my screen turns blue and I must click on the Daisy to the same user to reopen.  I want to prevent this.  I tried to use recovery and come back a couple of weeks, but it did not help.  Can someone tell me what is happening and how to prevent this?

    Thank you

  • Screen turns black and shuts off when wakes up Portege Z830 - 11M

    Hi all

    Anyone know what could be the reason for the screen goes black and turns off when the laptop wakes up?
    The laptop is Toshiba Portege Z830 - 11 M W7HP, purchased in September.

    The problem started shortly after I bought the laptop, but gradually began with a period of 1-2 seconds black screen whenever I tried to wake the portable computer of fashion 'sleep'. He didn't look like a regular part "blackout" of the wake-up process so I just tried to ignore it, but it started to happen more often recently. It got really worse after two months of use and the black screen two or three times until I'm at the login screen. The error was also difficult to re-create because it was random. Sometimes, the screen went black once sometimes twice or just blinked for a fraction of a second.

    Yesterday, I worked during the day and at night it turned really bad. The screen went black several times, whenever I went back to work after a short break.
    I changed the laptop off when I'm done, but when I turned back on it in the morning, the screen was just black. I tried to use the touchpad, but it is only the screen on the gray.

    Can anyone suggest what to do?

    So finally that cannot start the laptop is Hmm normal?
    It would be interesting to know if this help:
    -Battery adapter and ac removal
    -Press and hold power button do this for 30 sec
    -Then reconnect both sides.
    Turn on the laptop?

    If this is not good enough, you're in trouble I guess its hardware related issue and in this case you must service help

    Please try to uninstall Norton to see if you still get the blue screen. You can try using Norton Removal Tool: http://www.norton.com/nrt

    If you get a blue screen after the removal of Norton, try update video drivers and see if that solves the problem. You can try to reinstall Norton after that.
