MacBook :: Oil Stains On White Screen - Any Way To Clean / Prevent

I have a white MacBook that is about 6 months old. I wash my hands alot, but it appears as though the oil on the keys lays on the screen when the laptop is closed.

IMac 27' 2011 Gray Stains Inside Screen

In April 2011 I bought an iMac 27 '. In November, begin the problems with gray spots in the corners. I took it to Apple technical support here in Chile and the part was replaced because the warranty was in effect.In April this year, again began to appear stains. Again I took it for service, but this time I should paid around $ 1,000 for the repair (obviously i said NO).How can a piece fails so soon and Apple doesn't takes over the situation, forcing their loyal customers (all my computers are Apple), to pay for the repair of a factory fault?Is there any legal way to force Apple to answer for the repair or replacement of the part (LCD)?

MacBook Pro :: Removing Underside Of MBP 17 - Pop Sound When Removing On Cover Normal?

as an extension to my question regarding RAM utilization, I've decided to upgrade my RAM. I went through the process of removing the underside of my MBP. After taking the screws out and mentally marking which slot they came out of (some are of different size), I pulled the lid up at the black trim area (the 'neck' of the display mount) as this was the easiest way to get a non-damaging grip on the metal underside -- read: I avoided using a screw driver on the lid. As I started to lift, I was surprised at the amount of force I needed to use in order to remove the lid; something near the center of the cover was still holding the lid to the underside of the body. In fact, the amount of force I needed to use made me pause to question if I missed an important step other than simply removing the screws. I decided to 'go for it' and applied more pressure while pulling the lid up and away from the body and heard a 'pop' noise.

MacBook Pro :: Increasing Screen Brightness By Removing Glass Layer

I have a Macbook Air and the new 13' macbook pro. I see that the Macbook Air is much brighter than the 13' macbook pro (under the same ambient lighting, both set to maximum brightness). I was told the reason for this difference is because of the lack of the glass layer on the Air. Is that really true ? If so, can you please let me know if I'd be able to get the same brightness I get on the Air on the Pro also by just removing the glass layer on my 13' macbook pro. TechRestore offers such a service for $134, which is simply a subset of their service for matte replacement (I don't want the matte replacement as I like the glossy screen). But since such a service would void my warranty and return policy, I want to be really sure before getting it done with them. I'd greatly appreciate any inputs/advice.

MacBook :: Audio After Removing Headphones?

Basically, I'm using a Macbook with Snow leopard (version 10.6.8) and in the last week or two (though it couldn't happened previously and not been noticed) whenever I remove my headphones from the macbook and go to listen to some audio, the mute and volume up/down buttons on my keyboard do not respond to changes in the volume. Â
So when I'm in itunes the only way to change the volume is by pressing pause in itunes itself and to use the slider, the keys F10, F11 and F12 to change them don't do anything. It's the same when watching youtube videos - the audio can only be muted through the button on the website and not through the audio buttons as I can do usually. Â
This problem goes away when I restart the macbook. Obviously it's not a massive issue, but restarting after finishing with my headphones just to have easier control over audio is annoying, and I was wondering if anyone else has this problem or has dealt with it?

Lcd Display

A dead or stuck pixel on a TFT, OLED, or LCD screen is incredibly annoying. You can’t help but stare at it for days on end, wondering how long a repair or exchange might take. All that grieve over something as unimportant, yet highly irritating as a “dead” pixel, that might be easy to fix.

Before you run the item back to the store though, try whether you can fix the dead pixel yourself! This, if done carefully, will not hamper your warranty and might save you a lot of time and worries.

So, let’s see how you can possibly fix dead pixels on your screen.

Test New Screens for Stuck or Dead Pixels

Yes, you should test any new LCD, OLED, or TFT screen for dead or stuck pixels. You can simply run your monitor through a palette of basic colors, as well as black and white in full-screen mode. We’ll show you tools to do that below.

Is It a Stuck or Dead Pixel?

So what if you spot an odd pixel? Is what you’re seeing just a stuck pixel or is it, in fact, a dead pixel?

A stuck pixel will appear in any of the colors that its three sub-pixels can form, i.e. red, green, or blue. In a dead pixel, all sub-pixels are permanently off, which will make the pixel appear black.

The cause could be a broken transistor. In rare cases, however, even a black pixel may just be stuck.

So if you’re seeing a colored or white pixel, you might be able to fix it. And if you see a black pixel, chances are low, but there is still hope.

Let’s turn to the methods to fix a stuck pixel.

How to Fix Dead or Stuck Pixels

Unfortunately, you can’t fix a dead pixel. You can, however, fix a stuck pixel. And as I explained above, it’s hard to tell the two apart. Either way, these are the methods you can try:

1. First, identify dead or stuck pixels by viewing your monitor in different color palettes.
2. To fix a stuck or dead-looking pixel, use a third-party tool to flash the pixel with multiple colors. We recommend UDPixel (Windows) or LCD (online).
3. Finally, you can try a manual method that involves rubbing the stuck pixel with a damp cloth or a pointy, but soft item, like the rubber/eraser at the end of a pencil.

Let’s look at these methods and tools in detail.

1. UDPixel

UDPixel, also known as UndeadPixel, is a Windows tool. It can help you identify and fix pixels using a single tool. The program requires the Microsoft .NET Framework. If you’re not on Windows or don’t want to install any software, scroll down for the online tools below.

With the Dead pixel locator on the left, you can easily detect any screen irregularity that may have escaped your vision until now.
Should you spot a suspicious pixel, switch to the Undead pixel side of things, create sufficient amounts of flash windows (one per stuck pixel) and hit Start. You can drag the tiny flashing windows to where you found odd pixels.

Let them run for a while and eventually change the Flash interval.

2. LCD

LCD is an online tool that lets you find and eventually fix stuck pixels. It packs many options into a single tiny window, but once you have an overview it’s easy to use.

Note: This website requires Flash. If you’re on Chrome, click the Get Adobe Flash Player button and when Chrome asks you to Run Flash, click Allow.

To test your screen, go through all of the colors—green, blue, and red — and check our screen. Additionally, you should check white and black. Press the ? and i button for background information.

Should you discover a stuck pixel, click the Fix My Screen button and let the color flashing graphic run for a minute or two.

By triggering each pixel’s different sub-pixels, the graphic may massage a stuck pixel back into life.

3. Dead Pixel Buddy

The online tool Dead Pixel Buddy can help you run a quick dead pixel test, but it can’t fix an affected pixel.

Dead Pixel Buddy offers 12 colorful tiles to test for dead or stuck pixels. Click one of the tiles to fill the entire browser window with the respective color. Press F11 to go full screen, then cycle through the colors using the left and right arrow keys. When you’ve tested all 12 colors, press F11 again to leave full-screen mode.

If you do find a stuck or dead pixel, use UDPixel (above) or JScreenFix (below); those are tools that can fix a stuck pixel.

4. Online Monitor Test

This is a very thorough test not only meant to identify bad pixels but also powerful enough to test the quality of your monitorMonitor Calibration Made Easy With These 5 Online ToolsMonitor Calibration Made Easy With These 5 Online ToolsYou should calibrate your monitor regularly so your screen displays colors correctly. These are the best sites for monitor calibration.Read More.

You can choose between three different modes to test your screen. This tool either requires flash (online version) or you can install it in the executable mode.
What you will need to just test for stuck pixels is the HTML window. Again, you’ll need to allow Chrome to run Flash. Toggle full-screen by hitting F11. Here is what you should see:
Move the mouse to the top of the test window and a menu will appear. There is an info window that you can turn off with a button in the top right corner of the menu. Then click on the Homogenuity test point and move through the three colors as well as black and white.

Fingers crossed you won’t discover anything out of the ordinary. In the unfortunate case that you do, you may find the following online tool helpful.

5. JScreenFix

JScreenFix won’t help you find a stuck pixel, but it can help you fix it. Just click the Launch JScreenFix button at the bottom of the page.

The tool will load a black browser window with a square of flashing pixels. Press the green button in the bottom right to go full-screen. Drag the flashing square to where you found the stuck pixel and leave it there for at least 10 minutes.

Manually Fix Stuck Pixels

Should none of these tools resolve your stuck or dead pixel issue, here is one last chance. You can combine any of the tools and the magic power of your own hands. There is a very good description of all available techniques on wikiHow. Another great step by step guide can be found on Instructables.

But let’s go through one technique real quick:

1. Turn off your monitor.
2. Get yourself a damp cloth, so that you won’t scratch the screen.
3. Apply pressure to the area where the stuck pixel is. Try not to put pressure anywhere else, as this may trigger the creation of more stuck pixels.
4. While applying pressure, turn on your computer and screen.
5. Remove pressure and the stuck pixel should be gone.

Lcd Screen Replacement

This works because, in a stuck pixel, the liquid in one or more of its sub-pixels has not spread equally. When the backlight of your screen turns on, different amounts of the liquid pass through the pixel, to create the different colors.

All Pixels Report to the Screen

Should all of these approaches fail to fix your dead pixel warrior, at least you’ll now know it’s not simple to fix and the screen may indeed need to be replaced.

Tool For Removing Lcd Screen From Macbook

1. If you have an ASUS VG248QE monitor , check if you enabled the game plus crosshair (it's the 2nd button on the monitor it should have a controller icon) and disable it. Game plus could be supported on other monitors too , if its supported on yours , try it.

2. Thank you! It really solved my issue. Great work.

3. This article helped me heaps! When I turned my computer on this morning, I found a pixel that refused to go any colour but green. However, after I used either LCD or the pressure tactic (I can't remember) it started to behave again! Thank you so much!

4. In my laptop there is a black spot but when I apply pressure on it it's gone and there is something pink in colour which is left out can you tell me it is a dead pixel or or a stuck pixel
   I apply pressure on those spots
   and then they are gone but after a few days the are back

5. I am like: This can't be true.. Come on.. I have a brand new pixelbook and I was ready to return it but by turning it off and press gently with a cloth while starting it up.. made it actually go away. I can not believe this just happened in front of my eye. And I know it was only one stuck or dead pixel.. You know it looks like a big freaking black blodge on the screen with someone as OCD as me and having paid 1100 dollars for a laptop..

6. i have a massive stuck pixels on 60% of taskbar portion .. i really don't know what to do .. please help me out .. as i tried your technique but when i put to stuck pixel it spreads there ..

7. If it helps anyone, I found that gently pushing my finger against the screen a few cm from the stuck pixel sent it away. Pushing on the pixel made it stuck again, and pushing in between made it varying degrees of stuck brightness.

8. Stuck pixels on my screen are caused by a crack in the pixel layer of the lcd, resulting in vertical, and now even horizontal lines of stuck pixels, the pressure method helped, but did not fix it.

9. My 2 year old asus laptop got a huge amount of dead pixels on the screen and most of them are thick and horizontal there are two long big scratch-like lines that are just horrific to see with dead pixels spread between them and stuck pixels inside of them it is an eyesore to see even as i am typing this please help me it distracts me when i'm working

11. Hi all

    Have a question that puzzles my mind.

    I realized a dot on my Sony TV in the upper right corner. It´s nor visible in blue, red or black. I really can't find it on red or blue background and if it´s dead shouldent i be able to see it with red and blue background?

    Is there any color that's is better to flash with or is a random pattern better to try?

12. Pressure method worked for me- Thanks so much!

    There is a built-in tool to archive files on Mac. To unzip a file on Mac, there are Mac un-archiver apps those can unzip files on Mac. See the list of best mac compress and unzip tools that you can use. Mac OS X came along at the turn of the century and brought with it a Unix-like zip utility to compress and wrap files and folders into what are called archives. Then, hard disk drives gained more storage and prices dropped dramatically. Zip tool for mac. Download Free iZip is the best way to manage archives on MAC OS X. IZip is the easiest way to manage ZIP, ZIPX, RAR, TAR, 7ZIP and other compressed files on your Mac. The Mac really doesn't have a lot of great utilities for creating file archives, but it does have one excellent option for unarchiving: the aptly named The Unarchiver.

20. It didn't work for me. :(

21. but i try pressing method with jscreen
    but a long black line is spread out on the screen
    i used eraser method too

    can any one tell me proper method

22. This weekend a horizontal one-pixel white line appeared across my new ASUS laptop-screen. And today a bright red pixel was also visible. I called in for support. They advised I reinstalled my video-drivers. And if that didn't work, reinstall Windows. And as a last resort return it for a new one. As I googled my problem I came across this article. Even if it is many years old, I gave the rubbing-tip plus JScreenFix.com a go. And it worked!

    I used my thumb to apply pressure while I ran JScreen in the background for about 30sec. Nothing happened. Darn. So I applied more pressure until I started too see these rainbow-colors pulsating out, still with JScreen in the background. After another 30sec the white horizontal line had disappeared, but the red dot was still visible. After another 30sec the red dot started blinking. And after yet another 30sec of trying out the combined methods it was all gone :-D Restarted Windows. Still gone! Thank you so much for this article :-D

    Kind regards,

    'From The Future' ;-)

    • I tried all of the things in this article to no avail but when I saw your comment I tried it. It worked perfectly and now to dot is gone. Thank you so much :D.

      • Thanks Bro It works,i'm so happy LOL

    • I have a horizontal white stuck line as well. Where have you applied pressure? To both ends of the stuck line or within the Jscreenfix window?

      Regards,
      ruz

      • My white line seemed to appear from the same spot as from where that red pixel originated. So I only needed to apply pressure with JScreen running over that specific spot. I don't know anything about these sort of problems really, so don't take my word for anything. But if you rub your thumb across the white line you might find a point of origin. Somewhere across the line, when pressuring at the right spot, the hole line should start blinking or change color at that point of origin. Then you know you have found it. At least that was the case for me.

        Anyway, it seems my ASUS-screen can take quite a lot of pressure, so I soon realized I didn't need to worry at all about pressing my thumb quite hard at that spot. But I guess this might not be the case with all screens, so be cautious in the beginning. After 5-10 seconds after applying hard pressure all the rainbow colors are gone on my screen.

        Update: my problem with the red pixel has appeared from time to time the past year. But rubbing it while using JScreen in the background always helps.

        • Thank you for your great kindness and consideration Steve! Cheers.

23. Just another technique that helped to me is spraying stucked pixels with cleaning kit for LCDs and then drying it off using massage with a cloth.

24. If your dead/stuck pixel is brand new(or even a few days old), use a new eraser(since they have sharper corners), and gently press the screen where the stuck pixel is, it has helped me nearly every time!

25. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I tried the JScreenFix for about 20 minutes and saw no result, then decided to try the message method. I wrapped the eraser cap on a pencil with a lens cloth and gently rub the pixel (which is bright green) with the JScreenFix flashing in the background. After about a minute I moved the screen to check and saw the pixel blinking, then disappeared! I cannot believe it! Now I have a perfect monitor!

26. Hi,
    I noticed a splotch of dead pixels in my HP G60 last night. It was a little bigger than the head of a pin with a thin line dropping. Then I started to think it was getting bigger, so I marked where it was with one of the desktop icons. Then I started to watch Dexter, when the episode ended, the line that was dropping was like an inch bigger! So I got mad and turned off the laptop thinking it would prevent more damage. It wasn't that bad, I have a 16' screen, and it was about 1' into de left side, it would probably be on top of the photoshop tools, thus not interfering with the images. But this afteroon I turned it on again to get some stuff I wanted to watch on my other pc and it was even bigger! it's thicker now, and almost 3' long!!! what's wrong? How did this happen? I was reading about it and I haven't heard anyone say they spread like this! it's leaking! And I do not have warranty! it was purchased in another country! I can't return it! I'll yell at HP, but I think i'm screwed anyway. Is there a way to stop it from spreading? turning it off didn't seem to help at all.

    Help me, please!
    thanks!

    • btw, I didn't try to fix it, I did not rub any pixel.
      it's just leaking, like ink on a napkin.
      and it's definitely dead. I can see the black stain even with the computer off.

27. i tryed everything i have this little red dot on the bottom right of my lcd and i just took the screen out the box but i do not wanna waist gas going to return it its a emachines monitor do you think i should take it back?

37. I seem to have a confused pixel, it doesn't seem dead (Never lighting up), it doesn't seem stuck (Constantly one colour) but it changes colour depending on what colour background its on.

    On a Red background its black, on a white its turquoise, blue is blue, yellow is green.. I am really confused and so is the pixel,

    Can Anyone help?!

    • Sounds like a stuck (or dead) red subpixel, a pixel is made of red, green, and blue subpixels. Our eyes contain cones that detect these wavelengths. Yellow is made of red + green.

      • is there anyway I can fix it other than the above suggestions? I have tried changing the pixels colour at a fast rate and rubbed it gently but nothing

38. I tried the software (Jscreenfix and UDPixel) several times and it didn't help. I have a brand new toshiba a300. However, when I pressed gently against the affected pixel and turned the screen off and on, the pixel was unstuck. It came back to life! Sometimes it gets stuck again, but with a simple tapping on the screen, it can be repaired!

39. If someone would have told me that before, i would'nt believe it!!

    I have just repaired one (the only) dead pixel on my brandnew monitor.
    Only by pressing gently with my fingernail during executing the undeadpixel software.

    Thanks for the tip!

    • Bertl if u revived a dead pixel i can find a cure for HIV.

      If u did revive a 'dead pixel' it was probably a stuck pixel. it also maybe have been dirt, since it was during the software. Just some suggestions, not a dead pixel revived

40. I have been massaging pixels for years. It has always worked. Stuck pixels always right themselves if pressed firmly enough. You don't need to turn the screen on while doing it. Just get to where you can see it and push -gently at first and move your finger around it to be sure that at some point you hit it properly. You might need to use a finger nail through a cloth for more accuracy. Apply more pressure if you need to, but it usually won't take a lot. Don't be too alarmed at the waves of discoloration at the pressure point. They will disappear when the pressure is released.

    • Thanks Mystigo, I tried ran UDPixel for over 2 hours trying to get rid of the bright lime green stuck pixel on my lcd tv then I tried what you said and after about 30 seconds of gentle rubbing it disappeared! I'm just so relieved, thanks.

41. how about some help for the many non-pc devices this happens on, e.g. my ipod

    • What do you mean

42. for those really pesky ones, try tapping the screen with your finger

43. don't rub the LCDs

44. These techniques are all very practical. I've found that if it can't be fixed with an application or by gently massaging the affected pixel(s), then sometimes you may need to try repeating both processes a few times and be patient. Don't apply too much pressure when touching an LCD and I encourage using a microfiber cloth so you don't scratch it.

45. Thanks you very much. It's good !
