As i am still waiting for my UMacbook pro 17" to be delivered , I have been going though the Apple Forum, and a problem with the screen flickering , seems to affect a lot of models and a lot of people are angry, is this a serious issue or not.
View 10 RepliesI have the new Macbook Pro 15" and went online to do some stock trading with my new Macbook. It seems like either my new Macbook doesn't like Scottrade's stock streaming or Scottrade's streaming quotes don't like Apple products
Anyone here use their Apple with Scottrade for online streaming quotes? The screen flickers like crazy when one inputs sell or modify orders.

...and tell me if your screen flickers when either viewing them stationary, or when scrolling up and down the webpages. Mine does.

View 5 Replies View RelatedThe unibody macbook is a bit cheaper and I don't really need firewire, however I've heard that the screen has been improved quite a bit. Could someone elaborate how? Not in like specs and numbers but more in like real life examples. Is it brighter? Do the colors pop out more? etc, etc.

I purchased a dell studio 17 off ebay and that is fully working and has a new battery.
The man selling it sells alot of laptops that he has fixed or replaced stuff on. He told me it was not refurbished at all but looking at his feedback i think he has replaced the screen and casing on the laptop.
Ive only had it a few days and noticed that the screen has started flickering in terms of going light and dull on and off very quickly. It only seems to happen though when im running on battery as its fine when its plugged in.
Is this laptop faulty or is it a minor problem?? as i won the bidding very cheap so i want to keep hold of it if there is nothing major wrong with it.
my dv5t that is 11months old has been having flickering issues for like the last couple months. random lines just start appearing or screen goes dimmer, and it usually is fixed but just moving the screen back and forth. no idea what causes this. so i read other people have had the same issue and have sent it into hp, which fix it temporarily but the problem comes back. so my questions include
1. by now, does hp fully fix this problem yet?
2. what is usually the turn-around time? if i sent my laptop out on monday, when would i expect to get it back? i'm from TX btw
3. do i have to pay for shipping to ship it there? or will they cover that?
4. will my harddrive been reformatted when i sent it in?
5. can i remove my harddrive before i send it in (to verify i still have all my data)? where is HD located?
I've had this new XPS 17 laptop for less than a month. The screen started flickering about a week ago. I haven't dropped it or anything, and it doesn't stay black for any length of time. It will flicker off and on a few times in less than a second. I was just wondering what should I do?

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy one month old UMBP has some annoying glitch on the spotlight. Every time I type a letter on the spotlight, the whole spotlight box (including the search results) flickers. It didn't happen with my early mbp before, and I didn't realize until today, so I'm not sure if it happens after I install anything. any way to troubleshoot this? I tried reindexing the hard drive, but it doesn't resolve the problem.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a 4 year old Dell Inspiron 6000 that has recently been giving me a number of problems. For the past two days the laptop has been flickering between the display and a black screen, with it becoming somewhat more frequent as time went on.
I had read that it may be a loose wire and I had planned on opening it up and attempting to fix it myself (the warranty is over and I'd rather attempt to fix it myself first before paying to have it fixed at extremely high prices).
However, the lower right corner of the screen has recently started to become incredibly hot and noticeable smoke and burning has begun to occur. I immediately shut off and unplugged the computer and have not used it since .....
My Dell Vostro 1710 screen Still flickering.. Dell Just Replaced the motherboard for me last week. What Should I do... Is it caused by the 8600m gs....
View 4 Replies View RelatedI posted it in the accessories forum, but didnt get much response..was wondering if you dell guys have a better idea on this.
Basically, I have a 2.5 year old Dell E1505 with ATI x1400 on it. I just bought a new Samsung T220HD monitor and I love that thing. But, when I first hooked it up and everything and ran dual monitors, my external screen flickers about once every 5 mins.
Then when I adjusted a few things, the external screen stopped flickering, but my laptop screen started to flicker, once every 5 mins or so. When I watch tv on my this monitor (it has a tuner built in),
there is no flickering, and when I use my external monitor as my main monitor (by closing the lid of my laptop),
I have an ACER Aspire 5920Z laptop and the screen just starts Flickering in between .......Can something be done about it? well just gathered out a couple of info ..is it related to the 8ms response time the laptop has..?The refresh rate doesnt change on LCD screens so that option doesnt work either (fixed at 60)
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy friend received a dv4t a month ago, and we did clean install on it day one. But this morning, it started flickering heavily - past the point where its 90 degrees to table surface. So while opening the screen lid, everything seems and works fine upto the points when screen is approx perpendicular to keyboard, and even a slight push beyond that and screen either goes blank or it flickers heavily altering white and black screens, no desktop visible. I did another clean install, and problem was persistent even while clean install was in progress, and even after it was done and I installed drivers for it from SWSetwup folder. I am currently chatting with HP rep and he apparently knows nothing about it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI bought my Dell XPS 13 laptop (L321X) in December of 2012.  Beginning in the middle of 2013, I began experiencing my display screen suddenly become scrambled. I am attaching a photo of what happens.  I did not think anything of it at first, and honestly it would happen maybe once a month.  I figured it was maybe that I had the laptop on my lap and it was getting overheated.  In any event, I didn't think much of it.Â
Since the beginning of this year, I saw that it started doing it more frequently. Â Within the last month, it has been happening more and more frequently, to the point that it is disrupting my use of the laptop.
I have not yet tried connecting the laptop to an external monitor to see if the issue is with my video drive or screen. Â It's just difficult to attach it to an external monitor in time when the problem starts, because the scrambling goes away within 20-30 seconds. Â
Went to Futureshop today and tested their 15" mbp display model. Changed to 9600gt and put a load on the CPU (started a bunch of apps, screensaver etc). Walked around 5-10 minutes then came back to the mbp, put brightness level to 1ow and it 'wavered, pulsed, strobed'. It was subtle but was there. It looks like most if not all the new macs have this issue.

View 7 Replies View Relatedmy laptop started acting REALLY weird about a week ago. While I am using it, seemingly at random, the screen 'flickers' and freezes up, and the only way out is to hold the power button to shut down, and then restart.
I have included a picture of what it looks like:
I also noticed that the speakers sort of emitted a 'staticky' sound as this happened, although this could just be because the computer stops processing the sound data.
Anyone ever experience anything similar??? What to do?
Also if I check the Windows Event Viewer after restarting, it logs nothing at the time of freezing, no errors or anything.
The laptop runs sort of warm, but never part 66°-69°C
It has: Windows Vista SP1, AMD ATHLON X2 1.6, and 2gb ram.
So I was using my Inspiron 1545 and everything was going fine, then suddenly the screen just went nuts. It was green and pink, flickering, and had bars flashing everywhere. I turned it off manually, and after that it would turn on a few times (BIOS graphics were fine) but the desktop would be messed up. Then soon after that, I couldn't even get to BIOS. I press the power, the fan starts for like 2 seconds, then the laptop completely shuts down. I've tried removing the power supply and battery, holding the power button, then putting them back to no avail. I've also tried having it only connected to the power supply. I've even tried removing one of the two RAM.
View 3 Replies View RelatedLoving my Yoga 13 so far have had it since Oct 26th when it was released. Like everyone else I had some issues with partitioning yadda yadda yadda, got that taken care of, but lately I've noticed that my screen brightness seems to flicker, ALL the time, when switching from program to program if the color changes on the screen I notice that the brightness changes as well in noticeable increments. I have the automatic brightness setting set to OFF, so I can't imagine that's the reason.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just returned my previous Inspiron 13 model 7347 (the i5) because of screen flickering thinking I had a bad computer. Â The replacement is doing the same thing.
On battery the screen will flicker every 10 seconds or so. Â It is especially noticeable when the brightness is turned all the way down. Â I have tried going into the Intel HD graphics control panel and disabling the display power saving technology. Â I have also gone into Power Options and disabled adaptive brightness. Â I even went into the Dell extended battery life options and disabled Dell Intelligent Display. Â Nothing has worked. Â The screen still flickers and it is quite annoying. Â This is the second computer doing this in 4 days. Â I don't want to go back and return the second laptop if I don't have to.
