#80096 — Weird Mac problem

I'm not even sure where to ask about this, but here it is:

Every so often lately, my MacBook Pro Intel laptop running OS 10.6.8 
suddenly gets a pattern of odd little squares all over the screen on top 
of whatever I've been doing and I can't get rid of it nor get a reaction 
from any application.  Until today, turning it off was possible.  Today 
it wouldn't even let me turn it off. I tried the assorted function keys 
to see whether one of them would get rid of it, though I hadn't hit them 
before. Either that or trying again to turn off the laptop doubled this 
odd pattern, and I couldn't turn off the computer at all.  I 
disconnected it and took out the battery. after reinserting it, the 
laptop was normal again.

I can't post a foto of it because screen grab is also disabled.

Screen shots aren't photos, and as a result often won't show graphics
hardware malfunctions. It's easy enough to take a photo of the screen
with a camera and post it.

It sounds like your graphics driver or hardware may be malfunctioning. 

What model and year MacBook Pro is this? 

Have you checked to see if it is covered by Apple?:

That sounds as if it might be one of several possibilities. Whatever 
the problem you are going to need a visit to an Apple store or a 
certified repair center. Since you are still running OSX 10.6.8, it 
looks as if time and wear and tear have caught up with you:

1:	The ribbon connector to the display, which runs through the hinge 
might be damaged and needs to be replaced. I had this happen to a G4 
PowerBook Pro 17", and the entire display had to be replaced because of 
the way the connection was made with that particular PB.

2:	The ribbon connector is fine, but there is an LCD failure. This is unlikely.

3:	Possible logic board failure.

No even squares, only odd ones ? :)

Can you see any remnants of the contents on the screen through the
squares or some areas that don't have squares ?

In my case, I have remove access enabled so in such a case I could
telnet/ssh into the machine and see if it responds. Sometimes it won't
connect, sometimes it connects but doesn't give me a login prompt (aka:
can't create new process) and sometimes it works.

If you can get shell access, you use the shutdown command to turn the
machine off.

It it were a screen problem, the power button should still function, and
you would still be able to remotely login as the OS instance wouldn't
even know the screen driver has gone nuts and isn't displaying what the
OS wants it to display.

Have you tried to shut it down blind ? (move "mouse" to upper left
corner and then click (should open the Apple menu) and move down and
release, hoping you are releasing on "shutdown" or "restart" and then be
patient (system has dialogue allowing you to cancel within 30 seconds)

If you have another computer, goto iFixit.com and get instructions on
how to change batteries for your model. Open back and disconnect the
battery. This should shutdown your machine. Wait some time and reconnect
it, and see how it behaves.

Taking out and replacing the battery made the pattern overlay go away. 
I'll try some of the other suggestions next time.

Oh, and it's an even pattern of tiny squares spread across the screen.
"Odd" as in "weird" 8-)  I can see anything that was open on the screen,
but can control nothing. Next time I'll take a foto of it with my iPad.

I brought my 2011 MBP in to the Apple Store a couple of months ago, when 
it started crashing and showing weird graphical problems. They said 
there was a known problem with the graphic cards on these, and they're 
doing free replacements.

So I suggest you head over to the Genius Bar.

There is no Genius Bar within several hours' drive.  I did take a foto of
it this morning, but have forgotten how to set up a link to it because I've
only done it once. The tinyurl site wants an html link and all I have at
the moment is a .jpg in DropBox

use imgur.com for sharing images.

tinyurl is a url shortener/obscurer and not needed at all.

It's tinypic.com - not tinyurl:

1. On your keyboard, press Command-Shift-4.
2. On your keyboard, press the space bar.
3. Click the window you want. A picture file will appear on the desktop.
4. Go to <http://tinypic.com> and follow the instructions to upload the
picture.
5. Paste the "Direct link" URL in a newsgroup message.

tinypic has a lot of crap in addition to the picture.

imgur is much better.

Does it? Maybe I don't see that stuff due to ad blocking. I like that it
gives you the image URL in a text field after uploading the image.

> imgur is much better.

Thanks, I'll check it out. 

I've used tinypic for a long time due to its simplicity. Some of the
image hosts out there are truly laborious and overly complex for simple
use.

I just link tot he file on Dropbox. Since screenshots automatically go
to dropbox, all I have to do is take a screen shot and then paste the
URL that gets put on my clipboard automatically into the
email/message/post/etc.

Yup! I use Snap'n'Drag to take my screenshots and that links directly 
to Dropbox via Filechute.

My experience with DB is that it takes forever to load an image that 
you've set up a link to.

I guess that might depend on the size and type of image file, and local 
broadband performance.

I use Dropbox (free 2.5GB), Adobe CC (20GB inc. in $9.99 subscription), 
and Box (free 15GB), depending on my nintentions. Screenshots are 
shared via DB along with some demo images. Project images which might 
include original RAW files, PSDs with adjustment layers intact, result 
JPEGs, and Lightroom generated online Collections. I had used Pogoplug 
for a while, but their service has soured somewhat.

So, a DB screenshot:

An Adobe Creative Cloud JPEG.

...and an LR Collection.

Fastest of the three. Four or five seconds to display the image.

*Extremely* slow. I stopped counting after 10 seconds. Probably closer
to 15-20 seconds. Sheesh!

A bit faster than Adobe CC, but still slower than DB.

Are you sure this is easiest or most economical? What about the old 
fashioned idea of having your own hosting and uploading via FTP? Why 
be so Mac when you can use a Mac and be a Mr Universal. Btw, your 
pictures look suspiciously like some of the scenery I saw in beautiful 
California.

They work for me. I have been using DB for years, and I subscribe to 
Adobe CC Photographer's Program for $9.99/month. That gives me 
Photoshop CC, and Lightroom CC, along with the bonus of the 20GB of CC 
storage.

At this stage I couldn't be bothered.

They should. You have a panorama of Yosemite Valley (El Cap on the 
left), a Cisitalia shot at the Avila Beach Concours, Avila Beach, CA, 
and a few of the competitors at this year's Lake San Antonio WildFlower 
Triathlon, just up the road from my little Californian home.

Here is what a finished rendition of that Yosemite Valley Pano looks like:

...and Yosemite Falls:

Then there is another one of my favorite California locations; The top of
"The Corkscrew" at Laguna Seca, near Monterey, CA.

imgur gives you a choice of links and it's a lot less busy even with ad
blocking.
