Sounds like you may need a new lamp according to my Samsung DLP manual for a HLR4667W.

"Why do I need to replace the lamp?
The lamp used in a DLP TV has a limited lifespan. For the best screen quality it needs to be
replaced periodically. After replacing the lamp, the screen quality will be bright and clear as new."

My Canon Powershot SD880 sometimes takes pictures that have 'ghosts' or litter spots throughout the picture. This happens more often in dark settings and at night. Any ideas?

This is normal behavior when shooting in low light. Just like when someone is speaking softly into the phone, you may turn up the volume on your end. Any background noise, you can now hear more.

Similarly, when there is low light, the camera turns up the amplification on each pixel. Some pixels naturally have a bit more background noise than others, and these show up as bright spots. A higher ISO setting where the camera is more responsive to light is where this occurs.

At a high ISO, taking a picture of pure black shows up as a mottled grey with a few bright spots for pixels that have a lot of noise.

You can overcome this if you have a tripod - set the camera to manual and a use a lower ISO setting. Rotat the selection wheel to M for manual and then press the ISO (just above the function set) button to scroll through different ISO settings.

Photoshop and other programs have noise reduction tools and a tools to remove "hot" spots as well.

Sony KLV-S32A10 LCD TV background light haas dark shade patches on right side of screen.

You either have a malfunctioning LCD controller(T-con) or the panel itself is faulty. The T-con is very inesxpensive and easy to replace but the panel is gonna cost you nearly as much as a new tv. Let me know if you want to give the t-con a shot so that I can guide you to fix it.

Gestetner 428 colour photocopier: background effect all over

It's possible it could be the transfer cleaning unit, but it's more likely to be the fuser or the transfer belt itself. If the hot roller is old or dirty or the press roller isn't providing enough tension, all of the toner might not be getting fused to the paper.

If only one color were showing mottling, it would probably be the developer, but it's unlikely that all four developers went bad at the same time.

Dark lines in background

This may be caused by the electrical outlet, try to run it off a extention cord from another room and see if the lines are still there. If they are you have a loose ground in your outlet. If the line still show them check your cables that feed the a/v signal to the tv. I have had this happen and it was just the outlet, hope this helps

Dark background on Dell 1700 printing

Faulty (or wrongly) remanufactured cartridges can produce a 'background' to a print, which can be even across the page or have a mottled effect.

Do a printer self test page (press the arrow button).

put the old toner cartridge back in and do the same.

Does the background show with the old cartridge ?

If it does, its a drum unit problem, if not its a toner cartridge problem, and that should be under warranty if you've just replaced it.
