Jun 6, 2010Look at this picture[URL]the upper case, there is a black covering on the speaker grills. Is that a covering under the speaker grills to prevent liquid/small objects from getting in? I spilled some thick liquid (evaporated milk) on it and scared that some got it but would be more at ease if there was that black covering. I have applecare so can i get them to check it out?

Apr 19, 2010I recently received my CTO MacBook Pro this afternoon, and I was wondering if Apple has applied an adhesive clear plastic sheet over the new MacBook Pro's display intended to be peeled off. Mine looks as though there may be one to peel off, but I want to make sure before putting too much effort into trying to get it off... Anyone else peel one of these of their new MacBook Pro?
View 6 Replies View RelatedMacBook :: Vertical Lines Covering Half Of My Display?
Dec 27, 2010My 2008 Penryn White Macbook siplays vertical lines and or vertical grey/black bars on 60% of the display. This happens from when it is powered on until and including when you arrive at desktop. The space the lines occupy does not increase or shrink, they have covered the area from the moment the problem arose.
it is not the common line issue that a Tiger update solved since this Macbook came with Leopard pre-installed. The lines are still there with the hard drive removed and they are still there when I booted a live Ubuntu CD, so I have ruled out software being the cause. Also I have ruled out inverter because I would not be getting any backlighting.
So....
To me that leaves:
-The LCD display panel itself (although there is no physical damage and it has never been dropped)
-The display data cable that connects LCD to the logic board
-GPU

Hardware :: Pattern Appeared In Horizontally Lines?
Oct 14, 2009yesterday I received my 24" ACD and really is a work of art, it is beautiful in every aspect. Color balance, hue everything is very well reproduced. Anyways at night I used iklear to clean off some smudges that I had left on the screen due to the install and placing it in the right place on my desk. I used the iklear with the screen off and cleaned it with the microfibre cloth that it comes with and started noticing this pattern that started appearing of horizontally continuous lines. Also with this some very weird smudging appeared and was very hard to get rid of. So after 20 mins or so of polishing with the cloth it came with, they went away but they appear once you apply artificial light from a flash light. I called apple and they of course knew nothing of this, called the apple store genius and I believe some know and some dont. I called iKlear and they have received some calls about this and offered me a different cleaner and they sent it to me at no cost that they say will take the pattern and smudges off. They say it is something or some sort of residue from the paper cover that covers the display in the packaging, and if you look and compare this you will notice it does have the same pattern. I have read on couple of places including the apple support forums where they have experienced this same problem and hope to bring the solution to light here. I have read everywhere from using clear windex to using 70% isopropyl alcohol and I do not want to try this due to the harsh chemicals these contain unless of course this fails.

MacBook Pro :: Strange Purple Lines In Pattern On Screen
May 3, 2010i have had a Macbook Pro which I got in mid 2008 and it just yesterday began doing something strange. After working in Mac OS X for a while I saw that many of the white areas on my screen were filled with purple lines. Most of my pics in my background are outlined with varying colors and I cannot figure out what is going on.
I began to suspect the graphics chip at first, so to test this theory I plugged it into an external display and the problem did not exist there so I concluded that it was not due to the graphics chip. I have a friend who performed some tests and believes that it is a problem in the connection between the monitor and the graphics chip and that certain bits of data just aren't making it through. I thought that this was a feasible problem, but to get a second opinion I took it to the local apple store on my university campus and they looked at it and also concluded that it was not a graphics chip problem, but that I may have to replace the whole display assembly. This was fairly expensive and I cannot afford to do that since time got away from me and I forgot to purchase applecare. (How stupid of me. Aargh!) Anyway, so I was wondering what is believed by the macrumors community to be the best option. I discovered that this problem seemed to happen on a lot of this particular model of macbook pro and that apple offered to replace the graphics chip for free because of it, but since they do not think it is a graphics chip issue, it appears that I am stuck.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMac Pro :: Whole Screen Flicker For Split Second / Multicolored Snow Covering Entire Screen
Oct 14, 2009I am using the pair with an early 2008 Mac Pro octo 2.8. Previous card was a 8800 GT, and previous monitor was a dell 2405WFP. No issue there (other than the 8800's fan noise).With the new setup, I occasionally get a whole screen flicker for a split second, and just now when I woke the display from sleep I got multicolored snow covering the entire screen, like this:
http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo...eat=directlink
(iphone photo, all I had handy)
Has anyone seen this with either the EVGA card pushing some other dual-link 30" display, or the 3007wfp-hc driven by some other card? I don't really have an easy way to test this myself, as it is pretty intermittent the two arrived around the same time, so I'm not sure which is the cause, but I haven't seen any problems like that in XP so I'm leaning towards the card (drivers, perhaps). I don't spend much time in XP, though, so I'm still not sure.
Mac Pro :: How To Deactivate One Of Two Displays Under OS X
Oct 15, 2010First, I need to say that, regarding my problem, I wasn't sure if I should post in this section or in the 'MacOSX' one, but like I'm facing this problem on my Mac Pro 4,1. So, I have a 8-core Mac Pro 4,1 with an Apple HD4870 to which are connected 2 screens: The main one is a Dell U2410 (1920x1200, via mDP to DP adapter) that I use under OSX for photography retouching with DxO. The other one is a 27'' (1920x1080, DVI) I only use for gaming under bootcamp.
When under bootcamp, I only need to turn off the Dell and the desktop is resized for only 1 display. My problem is that, under OsX, even when the 27'' is turned off, the desktop is extended to this display, I can't find a way to deactivate the 27''. I can't even set the displays as 'mirrors', as they have different heigts in pixels (1200 vs 1080), and then I get a Dell resized to 1080. The only solution I have right now is to disconnect the DVI cable of the 27'' when using the computer under OsX.

Mac Pro :: Two Displays With Lion?
Apr 15, 2012just updated to LION 10.07.3. / MacPro 3.1 The two displays run fine before under 10.5. (Samsung Syncmaster)They are conected analog, because the digital inputs used by another MacPro (The system is configered to switch just the inputs of the both displays beteween AVID (digital input) and ProTools (analog input) on different macs) Now upgraded to 10.7 Lion they are dedected as VGA displays. And showing 4:3 screens. Using System Conf. -> displays -> detect displays, they are both detected right as syncmaster. Both displays are automaticaly switched to 1680 x 1050.Great! That ist the right resolution! But only one of the displays is now showing the full screen correct.The other display is masking the screen to a 4:3 picture, so that part of the screen-content is covered under that mask...

MacBook Pro :: Using Mirror Displays?
Nov 7, 2010I have a mid-2010 Macbook Pro with the Nvidia 330m. Does using Mirror Displays require any less system resources (such as VRAM) than Dual Displays? I mean it shouldn't right (assuming that you use the same resolution for Mirror and Dual) because there is still content on both screens being written to the VRAM?
