mac lcd panel damage lop right sceeen factory

just to recap quickly: one day I turned on my laptop and there was a big nasty crack down the screen running from the top in a jagged line across to the side. the machine was never dropped, hit or abused in any way, so to anyone out there who doubts that this kind of thing can just happen... well, it can.

anyway, after taking the machine to an authorised repair centre, instead of contacting apple for a warranty repair as I"d asked them to do, they just sent me a quote to replace the screen at a cost of around 950€. now, if I"d dropped my computer, or some accident had happened to it, I would have just had to swallow it and accept that this is how things go. but seeing as nothing like that had ever happened, it"s a little harder to come around to thinking you are going to have to shell out for something that obviously was defective and snapped all of its own accord. the repair centre suggested that if I wasn"t happy with the quote I should take it up directly with apple..

so, I called apple france the next day and explained the situation. it was a little tricky because my MBP is now a month or so out of warranty, however it was still under warranty at the date when I handed it over for repair. so fortunately I had documentation to prove that. after a lengthy conversation and being put on hold a couple of times, the consultant told me that they would need to speak with the technician that had assessed the machine. if the technician would verify that there were no signs of abuse on the computer, they"d replace the display under warranty. so they put me on hold again and called the repair centre. when they got back to me, the confirmed that whatever happened to my display was not the result of any damage accidental or otherwise, and they would authorise repair under warranty.

there was one additional factor that may have played in my favour in this whole story.. when I bought the computer (online from the apple store) and it was delivered, the first thing I noticed about the machine was that the display wasn"t very good. it had badly uneven backlighting, was not evenly sharp all over and was generally not up to the standard I would expect in a top of the line machine.. so, I immediately called apple and told them this. they offered me a DOA which is "dead on arrival", the right to have the machine replaced for an entirely new one within 14 days of receiving it. at the time since it was the very first batch of the core 2 duo machines, I didn"t want to run the risk of getting a new machine that might have had something else wrong with it. a sub-standard display I could live with as long as the rest of the machine was in good working order, which it was.. better that than have a dodgy hard drive or worse. so, they created a detailed record on my call, with a reference number etc. basically it said that I had decided to keep the machine but that I felt the display had issues, and that during the warranty period I was going to consider asking for the display to be replaced if I felt that whatever quality issues they had with the early machine"s displays were worked out later.

next time I am definitely getting apple care, because I knew all along that there was something up with my machine, and if it had died after the warranty ran out, it would have been a bit unpleasant let"s say.

If you have a Mac laptop or iMac with a display that’s been damaged or no longer turns on, but you’re sure the computer is still functioning, a repair may not be required to extract all its data or continue using it.

(In fact, without a paid AppleCare+ for Mac plan, repair costs for a display often far exceed a Mac’s value unless a repair shop can find a refurbished or salvaged display. It may be cheaper or not much more expensive to simply buy a used Mac of the same vintage with a working monitor.)

All Mac laptops and iMacs of the last many years support an external monitor, though the particular adapter and type varies based on the vintage of Mac:

Shut down the Mac if it’s running. (If you can’t see the display well enough to select Shut Down, press and hold the power button until it powers down, which is about 10 seconds.)

Start up the Mac. If you’re lucky, the monitor is enabled with display mirroring, so you see exactly on the monitor what would appear on the internal display.

See if you can bring up the Displays preference pane and check the Mirror Displays box in the Arrangement tab. Even if you can’t see it, you might be able to grab the top of the window with the cursor on the monitor that’s invisible to you and drag it to the monitor you can see! It’s a little like those terrible claw toy machines—but without being able to even see the claw or the toy.

macOS allows remote screen access via a local network using Bonjour, but only if you enabled Screen Sharing in the Sharing preference pane. If you might have done so, follow these steps:

With Screen Sharing enabled, if you also clicked Computer Settings and enabled a password for VNC viewers, you should also or instead be able to use standard VNC screen-sharing software from any computer on the network (including a Mac), or one that can reach the network remotely.

If all else fails, Target Disk Mode may save the day. This allows a Mac to mount like a hard drive on other Macs. Apple has a detailed set of instructions on its site, but the outline is:

I accidentally applied some pressure to the bottom part of the display on my 13” macbook air 2017 (near the hinge, whilst closed). This initially caused the top half of the display to show not work properly, showing lines. It then gradually got worse, until the entire display would only show colored lines.

I found that applying pressure to the bottom left hand side of the display temporarily mitigated the problem. I’m aware this is where one of the ribbon cables is, and guess this means it’s damaged? See attached video:

I was able to use the macbook normally when plugged into an external display. Because of this I assumed it was not a faulty graphics card, but some fault with the display cables. I don’t think the display it’s self is cracked as there is no visible crack. (Could I be wrong??)

The machine still boots, and works normally when attached to a display. I now think the problem may be to do with the LCD it’s self and the ribbon cables that attach it to the LVDS assembly (not sure about terminology here..).

I’m posting to try and get some help validating my assumptions. I’m not sure what the best next step would be, should I replace the LCD by separating it from the backlight and installing a new one? Is there some other component that is possibly the problem? I would not want to go to the trouble of replacing the LCD to find it was some other component! I could buy a completely new display assembly, but this feels wasteful!

“I bought a MacBook Air M1 6 months ago and the screen cracked for no apparent reason. I left my computer on the top of my desk during the night and the next day I opened it the screen had 2 small cracks on the right which damaged the functioning of the screen. I contacted an authorized Apple center which told me Apple warranty would not cover it as it is a contact point crack; as if I have left something the size of a rice berry between the screen and the keyboard. It is absurd as I have nothing like it on my desk and the computer was properly closed as usual and didn’t move the whole night.”

“We bought a M1 Macbook Air 4 months ago. Last weekend my wife was watching a movie on Netflix and adjusted the screen at the edge to change the viewing angle. The screen blacked out except for an area on the left which had bright lines in a irregular pattern. I have taken the MBA to the local Apple store and they advise me that my wife caused the pressure crack and it is not covered under warranty. Cost to repair is $725 Australian dollars. This leaves a very sour taste. The screen should not break when the screen angle is changed.”

“My 17yr old daughter was at her desk, working on her MacBook Pro (M1 display) and shut it to take a break. When she went back to work, on opening the device she noticed that the bottom of the display was covered by flickering black and white lines and that there were also perpendicular coloured lines on the left hand side of the screen.”

“I have just experienced the same thing. On July 28th I closed my laptop to take the dog outside. I came back in and opened up the laptop and there was a crack. It was very confusing as I could not understand how this would have happened. Took the Mac to the apple store and was told right off the bat “I will tell you what you did here” and it was explained how I must have closed the lid on something. When I said that did not happen they said I must have pushed down on it or held it wrong.”

If you"ve ever had a flickering MacBook Pro® screen, you know how easily it can ruin your work day or movie night. Fortunately, there are some simple fixes that can help resolve the problem.

At Asurion, when tech breaks, we fix it—whether your MacBook® won"t turn on or it needs a factory reset. We"ll walk you through what to do if your MacBook Pro screen is flickering so you can get back to what"s important.

Updating your MacBook Pro to the latest iOS®version can solve all kinds of issues, including a flickering screen. Here"s how to confirm that your laptop is running the latest version of macOS®.Open System Preferences.

We"re all used to staring at a bright white screen, but Dark Mode offers a darker color scheme that"s easier on our eyes. Meanwhile, True Tone technology adjusts the color and intensity of your retina display to match the light around you, so that what you see on your screen appears more natural. Both features can occasionally lead to screen flickering.

Another cause of screen flickering lines on your MacBook Pro? Recently downloaded applications and files, which may have viruses. To erase them from your computer:Go to the dock and click on the Finder.

Many MacBooks come with two graphics systems. They also come with the automatic graphics switching option turned on to enable your computer to use the best one for whatever you"re doing—and to maximize battery life. But sometimes the two graphics systems can cause screen flickering. To turn off the setting:Go to Apple menu>System Preferences>Battery.

You"ll see a list of options. Clear the automatic graphics switching checkbox. In macOS Catalina 10.15 and earlier, this setting is in Energy Saver preferences.

If that acronym looks more like a foreign language than a tech term, you"re not alone. NVRAM stands for non-volatile random-access memory, which stores different kinds of data, including your screen resolution, volume preferences, and time zone information. Screen flickering can start when the NVRAM is cluttered or outdated. Here"s how to reset your NVRAM:Shut down your Mac.

Your MacBook Pro"s System Management Controller (SMC) determines how your computer manages power. Much like restarting and updating, resetting the SMC can resolve various glitches, including a flickering screen. There are different ways to reset the SMC, depending on which model you have.

Doing so will help you figure out whether the software that loads as your Mac starts up is causing your screen to flicker. Keep in mind, your screen resolution may be low and your computer may run slowly—that"s normal in Safe Mode. When you"re ready, check our guide to how to start your computer in Safe Mode. If the flickering stops in Safe Mode, turn off your Mac and then turn it back on as usual—you"re good to go.

If you"ve tried the troubleshooting tips above but the screen flickering continues on your MacBook Pro, it"s time to run Apple Diagnostics. It will help figure out if there"s a hardware issue.Shut down your computer.

If it isn"t already, put your computer on a flat, hard surface with good ventilation.Turn on your computer, continuing to press and hold the Power button as your Mac starts up.

If you"ve tried these steps and still need a little help, we"re right around the corner. Schedule a repair at the nearest uBreakiFix® by Asurion or Asurion Tech Repair & Solutions™ store and our certified experts can get your device back up and running as soon as the same day.

Accidental Damage is any damage due to an unintentional act that is not the direct result of a manufacturing defect or failure. Accidental damage is not covered under the standard warranty of the product. Such damage is often the result of a drop or an impact on the LCD screen or any other part of the product which may render the device non-functional. Such types of damage are only covered under an Accidental Damage service offering which is an optional add-on to the basic warranty of the product. Accidental Damage must not be confused with an occasional dead or stuck pixel on the LCD panel. For more information about dead or stuck pixels, see the Dell Display Pixel Guidelines.

No, accidental damage is covered for Dell computers or monitors which are covered under the Accidental Damage Service offering for that specific product.

For more information about Dell Limited Hardware Warranty and Dell"s Accidental Damage service offering, see the Dell Warranty & Support Services page.

NOTE: Other damages may be considered customer induced if determined by Dell Technical Support, an on-site field engineer, or at the mail-in repair center.

The LCD glass on the display is manufactured to rigorous specifications and standards and will not typically crack or break on its own under normal use. In general, cracked, or broken glass is considered accidental damage and is not covered under the standard warranty.

Spots typically occur due to an external force hitting the screen causing damage to the LCD panel"s backlight assembly. While the top layer did not crack or break, the underlying area was compressed and damaged causing this effect.

If your Dell laptop LCD panel has any accidental damage but the laptop is not covered by the Accidental Damage service offering, contact Dell Technical Support for repair options.

Dell monitors cannot be repaired by an on-site field engineer or at the mail-in repair center. If you notice any damage to the monitor, you must purchase a new monitor.

Rumour: Cave Story 2 Teased at PAX South and Could Be in the Works Nintendo Life "Maybe, maybe not" by Share: is quite the tale of success. Developed over five years by one man, named Daisuke Amaya, it first saw release over ten years ago on PC. Since then, it"s received universal acclaim, achieved widespread popularity and has been ported to numerous platforms. Taking inspiration from old school exploration and action games like and , the run "n" gunner was praised for its compelling story and well-balanced gameplay. However, over a decade later there still hasn"t been any evidence of a sequel, though this may have just changed recently. Nicalis, the company that handled porting and publishing of the game to consoles, held a discussion at PAX South yesterday and may have inadvertently - or otherwise - spilled the beans. At the end of the panel - which was headed by the company founder, Tyrone Rodriguez - an eagle eyed fan noticed a desktop icon on the home screen of the Macbook they were using to present, titled "Cave Story 2". When the fan asked Rodriguez about it, he said that he "hadn"t noticed that shortcut icon". When asked directly whether or not they were working on a sequel, he responded with, "maybe, maybe not." Before speculation gets out of hand, remember that this is not Nicalis" game, though it was responsible for publishing and producing ports. It"s certainly within the realm of reason that if Daisuke Amaya did create a sequel, he would partner with Nicalis once again to get it published

for consoles. We"re also hoping that a video of the presentation is posted online to reinforce the earnest claims of the source that witnessed this exchange. What do you think? Would you like to see another Cave Story? Sound off in the comments below [source ] Share: About Mitch has been a fan of Nintendo ever since he got his start on the GBA in 2005. When he"s not busy playing games or writing, you can find him down at his local MMA training facility learning how to punish the unrighteous. Comments ) This would be amazing! I love Cave Story to death and would do anything to have a sequel! I just hope this is true... Cave Story was good but I can imagine after all these years that a sequel would be even better. Interesting. I should probably play Cave Story again, soon. I would pay so much money for this. Watch, it"ll be 5 more ports of the first game... Coool. I"d love a sequel. lol I hope this isn"t true. Cave Story is a very special game to me, and it getting a sequel would lessen its value, especially if it is a cash-in by Nicalis like the numerous Cave Story ports were. Nevertheless, I would probably play a sequel 10+ times like I did with the first one. Ahahahaha this comment killed me Your more than likely right aswell. I"m certain our Toasters and Microwaves do not have a port yet, so yeah, I might be. Despite me not "beating" it yet (CURSE YOU, SANCTUARY!!), I"m open for a sequel Really good game, I hope it gets a sequel. Love Cave Story and it would really be a dream come true for it to

manufacturer. Alternatively, you can remove the CMOS battery and leave it out for at least five minutes. Replace the CMOS battery. A dead battery will trigger a red LED indicator, which can leave you pulling out your hair. You may even consider trying this first before anything else. If all else fails, disconnect and unplug all hardware starting with the GPU, any hard drives, the RAM, and the CPU. Inspect the connectors and pins for damage or debris. Grime and dust may build up on an old motherboard which can cause problems. You can remove it by carefully cleaning the connectors with a soft pencil eraser. You should also remove all external peripherals, including the mouse, keyboard, external drivers, printers, and ethernet cable. One by one, connect the devices to your computer and try booting it up. Critical hardware includes the CPU and RAM. If you have multiple RAM modules, you can leave one plugged in and the rest disconnected. If the computer appears to boot and there is no red light present, even when there is no video, then it’s likely you’ve found the problem. Try booting without the GPU (graphics card) and a single stick of RAM. If you’ve checked all parts and the problem persists, the problem may be either a defective motherboard or a dying or defective power supply. In some cases, when the power supply fails, it still supplies power to the motherboard and components, and everything, including the system fans, will turn on, yet the computer will not boot.

Motherboard Is Dying The best way to tell if your motherboard is dying, or failing, is to follow the troubleshooting steps discussed here. Unplug all minor hardware from the board and try to boot with minimal connections. If the computer still doesn"t turn on or POST, the board or the power supply is likely the culprit. More often than not, the power supply is the problem. However, if you replace the power supply and the computer still doesn"t boot, you know it"s the motherboard. In rare cases, you may be able to detect damage on the board, including burnt or defective headers, transistors, and other components. A board that has been killed by a static shock will not show any signs of damage, however. How to Check if a Motherboard Is Bad

documentation doesn"t include what the blinking or solid light patterns mean. Why is there a red LED light on the motherboard after I installed RAM? This light could mean that your RAM is faulty or not correctly seated. Check that it"s secure and ensure you"re putting it in the correct slot or according to the manufacturer-recommended configurations. Also, double-check that you"ve purchased compatible RAM for your machine. Was this page helpful? Thanks for letting us know! Get the Latest Tech News Delivered Every Day

RAW star to revert back to old gimmick first-time ever title match – 5 directions for Doudrop in WWE following the return of Nikki Cross Notifications New User posted their first comment this is comment text Approve Reject & ban Delete Logout RAW star to revert back to old gimmick first-time ever title match – 5 directions for Doudrop in WWE following the return of Nikki Cross Could Doudrop potentially move to WWE SmackDown? Fans were shocked when the former appeared during the final minutes of WWE RAW. Without her mask, the former superhero attacked Dakota Kai, IYO SKY, the referee, Bayley, and Bianca Belair. Commentary made it clear it wasn"t "Almost A Super Hero" that fans were seeing, but "The Twisted Sister" Nikki Cross. While there are many questions about what Nikki Cross will go in following her character shift on WWE RAW, questions have also arisen about her tag team partner. Nikki has been teaming up with the Scottish powerhouse Doudrop throughout the year on RAW, Main Event, and occasionally even both SmackDown & NXT. There"s a chance that the tag team featuring Cross and Doudrop will no longer continue moving forward. If that is the case, where does go from here? Could the talented star revert back to her old self too? Maybe the duo will remain, but with a twist? Below are 5 directions for Doudrop in WWE following the return of Nikki Cross. #5 She could go back to her Piper Niven name has proven her dominance and took the WIN over ! has proven her dominance and took the WIN

over ! Upon first joining World Wrestling Entertainment, Doudrop went by the name Piper Niven. She first used the name in the Mae Young Classic and then later upon joining NXT UK in 2019 where she battled the likes of Kay Lee Ray, Toni Storm, and Rhea Ripley. Piper joined the main roster on June 14th, 2021, under a new name. The former Niven became Doudrop and along with the change in name came a change in gear, hairstyle, and general demeanor. She was initially paired up with . Over the past year, Doudrop has slowly transitioned back towards her Piper Niven personality. Her gear became a lot less over-the-top and more flattering and her hairstyle went back to her previous look. Now that Nikki A.S.H. has returned to her Cross name, Doudrop could follow suit and once again become known as Piper Niven. While most of the transition has already been completed, this would effectively end the Doudrop chapter of her career. #4 Doudrop could move to NXT Doudrop on NXT Sometimes a move to NXT helps superstars hit the reset button. They can completely reinvent themselves as brand new characters or more often than not simply have an avenue to evolve and try out something different. There have been numerous examples of this happening over the years with Tyson Kidd, Zack Ryder, and Drew McIntyre all returning to NXT following main roster stints. More recently, has had great success with the developmental brand, with T-BAR and Apollo Crews making moves from WWE"s main roster as well. Doudrop could follow in the

aforementioned superstars" footprints and join NXT full-time. The move would be immediately fresh as the Scottish superstar went directly from NXT UK to RAW and never had a full-time stint on NXT in the United States. Mandy Rose vs. Doudrop could be an epic battle. Who knows, she could even reunite with her former friend-turned-enemy Alba Fyre and pursue tag gold. #3 She could move to SmackDown to challenge Ronda Rousey Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan As noted, Doudrop was first hired as part of the NXT UK brand in 2019 and later moved to WWE RAW as an associate of Eva Marie. The talented Doudrop has remained a RAW Superstar during that time, although she has occasionally competed on other WWE brands. A change from RAW may be needed, but she doesn"t necessarily have to move to NXT. Doudrop could instead be traded from RAW to WWE SmackDown. The move would open her up to brand new opponents and superstars she has either rarely battled or never wrestled before. They include Shotzi, Raquel Rodriguez, Natalya, Sonya Deville, Xia Li, and B-Fab, among others. The most notable match she could have on the blue brand is against the WWE SmackDown Women"s Champion . Due to her size, she"d be a major threat to Ronda. A first-time-ever bout between the two bruisers could be extremely entertaining and offer something brand new to fans. She"d also help strengthen a roster that fans are sometimes critical of on social media. #2 Doudrop could wait for WWE NXT Europe to begin "The intent will be to take NXT Europe and bring
